I eat here often and they are so careful. Every staff member has been able to answer my Gf questions and they have a very easy to read gf menu. Never gotten sick!

Folks seek to always be trained at Culver’s. When you mention gf wheat allergy they know what you’re saying. I always say to make sure they use a new spatula in the back and they actually go back and tell the cook. Gf buns too!

When ordering GF at counter, clerk asks if GF is a sensitivity or intolerance and enters on your order. GF celiac (“intolerance”) means they will take extra steps to avoid contamination. Burgers are very good and served with the GF free bun in a sealed wrapper for you to assemble yourself. Their website has comprehensive Gluten information for all their products. Note: deep fried foods are NOT GF. Overall, a pretty good fast food option for burgers (with lots of topping options), salads, chili, and frozen desserts.

We often go to this location and always have a great experience. No fries but great burger and bun and custard.

Nice to have a spot in between Cincy and Indy that is reliable. Great burgers and bun! No fries.

Culver’s is great, because they have a dedicated fryer for their fries. They have a gluten free bun for those who need this option. However, their bun does have pea fiber in it, which I can’t eat due to it being one of my trigger allergens for my autoimmune disease. I like to eat either their chili cheese fries or I will get a burger with no bun and make it a basket.

While this would possibly work for someone that has a sensitivity. This is not a place you would want to eat if you are celiac . The fries are dropped in the same oil that everything else is. As if one time wasn’t enough, I had gone another time after and just got a chicken breast and sure enough , cross-contact and had touched gluten. Strongly advise against for celiac

They tried. Spoke to the manager, she took the proper steps notating my order and notifying the kitchen, and yet, here we are.

Bun came in its own packaging, so cross-contamination must have occurred.

Definitely not Celiac safe.
