California Burger Company

This place was on the ball! The servers and kitchen communicated and even checked to see if the dedicated gf fryer had been changed recently. I got a burger, and it was tasty, unfortunately the fryer hadn’t been drained in a couple of days, and they said stuff could fall in, so I opted for the salad. I had no reaction and I’m super sensitive. They were also good for my dairy intolerance too.

Went by here today. After being told everything was very safe and careful, additional process questions revealed that they run the udi buns through the same toaster conveyor as the other buns. Im no guinea pig, if things don't check out I don't try it. Through my research so far, none of the restaurants in south lake tahoe are safe.

Staff was very helpful! my son also has diabetes. The waitress went an looked how many carbs are in the hamburger bun and how many oz of French fries he will get with his meal. I was very thankful for the staff. We will definitely be eating there again

They are on top of gluten free. I live locally and this is hands down one of my favorite safe spots to eat. Being celiac, I always mention but have never had a problem or gotten sick.

Delicious burgers AND fries / sweet potato tots. 🤤

Excellent. Menu clearly indicates gf items and staff are familiar with gluten allergy practices. I ordered the spinach salad which had house made bacon bits, dried berries, almonds, mushrooms and vinegarette

Friendly knowledgeable staff! Dedicated fryer! And buns for your hamburger!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So good! Such great staff! We went for our anniversary. 1.5 hrs from home. The gf fryer wasn’t fired up when we arrive ([email protected] opening) but they got in it. They gave us a financial break for the wait. Cool, hip atmosphere. Manager came to check on us. Arianna was our server and she took really good care of us. The entire staff understands celiac. I recommend this place when you are kn Tahoe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was killing the gf game... I’m talking separate fryers, separate dishes when my non-celiac boyfriend and I wanted to share his fries, they asked immediately if it was an allergy or preference. Food was incredible and came quickly. Great vibes, inside and outside seating. Highly recommend.

Great food, gf burger buns, and great whisky!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yum! Staff was knowledgeable. They have gluten free buns (udi’s) and a dedicated fryer for sides. The Bob’s burger with sweet potato tots was delicious.

The server was knowledgeable about Gluten Free and was helpful. I had a Blues Brothers burger with the gluten free bun and fries. Asked that the kitchen staff change gloves. The burger and fries were amazing. No adverse affects or reactions of any kind from the food. I would definitely eat there again.

Excellent place to eat. Gluten Free items on the menu, dedicated fryer, plenty of options to choose from and best of all it was good food. Servers were very aware of gluten free items and restrictions. Had the Beef Chili, Bob’s Burger with French Fries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great spot! They have gluten free items denoted on their menu and the waitress was very helpful and friendly! Some items may be in a shared fryer though, always double check!

Decent food. Liked the sweet potato tots, but $5 upcharge for a gluten free bun is a bit ridiculous...

Mediocre food... knowledgeable though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Friendly staff who were knowledgeable about gluten free- delicious burger and fries all gluten free

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great location, had a nice view and listened to live music. Food was okay and had knowledge staff, but overpriced. I wanted to order a teriyaki pineapple burger, but was told in order to make it GF they couldn't do the teriyaki. That defeated the whole purpose, so I ordered something else. Ended up just getting a cheeseburger on the Udis bun, with the sweet potato tots. Burger wasn't anything special, but tots were good. Didn't realize it was an extra $3 for the bun, until the check came out. If we knew that, I would have done the lettuce wrap. Milkshake was okay. Good atmosphere, decent food, didn't get sick, but a bit overpriced.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My family and I ate there last night. I explained to the waiter that I have Celiac Disease and he assured me that the kitchen staff was knowledgeable. I ordered a cheeseburger with a gluten free bun. Unfortunately, after a few bites I noticed that my bun was the same as the non gluten free buns. So for that, I give this restaurant a 3/5. What stopped me from going lower was that the manager comped our entire tables dinner and drink bill.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was super knowledgeable about GF. Dedicated fryer for the fries.

Celiac friendly?

Fantastic GF burgers, fries, and wings! Enough said.

A++++ The greatest service ever. So kind and helpful. They know what they’re doing here. I am a very sensitive Celiac and I did not get dick. Food was delicious. Great live music and nice outdoor eating area. They were more than accommodating !

All their sandwiches and burgers could be made with gluten free buns/bread. Designated fryer for GF French fries. Great hamburgers!

Great menu. GF buns were great! Did not fall apart... like real buns. Great ambiance with outside seating. Local musician was great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yummy food, GF buns and fries! Fabulous view of the gondola, patio and live music! Bravo! I'm super sensitive to gluten, this place is great!

Menu is well marked with asterisks next to items that can be made gluten free. I had the California burger on a gluten free bun and sweet potato tots. They have a dedicated fryer for tots and fries, etc. Nothing made me sick and it tasted great! Our server, Nick, was very friendly and service was fast.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic food and great service. So many gluten free options! We went 2xs during our spring break trip and never got glutened. Love the sweet potato tots and fries. The super slaw was delish along with the CA burger. Yum. We'll be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've had better burgers but was still pretty good. Felt fine eating there and the staff was really friendly. I didn't get the sweet potato tots but just regular fries. They have a separate fryer. Good atmosphere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really had high hopes! I had been craving a burger with a GF bun for along time. My son and I both have Celiacs so we saw the reviews and chose to go here. Our whole family went for lunch and as much as we all thoroughly enjoyed the meal... my stomach did not later on. My son was fine so I am assuming it was the sweet potato tots as he did not have them. Anyways, the service was okay and the food was good but definitely not something to write home to mom about. 😬

Celiac friendly?

No

So many gluten free choices. Loved the Californian burger and sweet potato tots! Fun hip atmosphere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are super careful and well educated about gf issues - they told me the burger would be delayed due to the fact the grill would need to be cleaned to heat up a gf bun in a safe non contaminated place - amazing. There is a separate fryer For fries!! Amazing burgers in an unexpected place - don't hesitate to eat here after you talk to the friendly staff.

Amazing food and didn't make me feel like an inconvenience. This is my new favorite place!

We had an excellent GF/DF experience here! The burger was amazing (they use Udi's buns). My son had the regular fries which he loved and I had the sweet potato tots ... never had anything like that before; they very unique and delicious. They have a dedicated GF fryer. Also, somebody else wondered how their buns got toasted so I asked. They have a dedicated grill that they use. I definitely plan to frequent this place. Just great to have a safe and delicious burger and fries again! Probably the best burger we've had GF/DF! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

nice place .. awesome burguer. fries perfect. definitely celiac friendly

The GF turkey burger and fries I had were flavorful. They did tell me they have a dedicated fryer too. TheMy husband, who's a non GF diner also really enjoyed his burger. Our server took all the extra steps to keep my order safe too. When I'm in the area again, this will be one of the first places I go. I hope they open locations in the Midwest someday:)

Best burger bun I've ever had. The Caprese burger was delicious with no bad after effects. They take good care in preparation.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very GF aware. Dedicated fryer for fries and surprisingly, GF Chicken fingers that my daughter loved. My GF bun was kind of dry, but what's new. My only concern, was that my bun was toasted. I didn't get to ask about that process, but they seemed to understand the need for careful handling. Friendly service.
