This is my go-to place in this town. Gf bun always warmed and remain sealed to prevent cross contamination. They offer Burgers and grilled chicken sandwich. Chili and broccoli cheese soups. Cole slaw, applesauce, mashed potatoes (w/out gravy), and green beans as gf side options. They also have m&m, snickers, and Reese's concrete mixers--I've never had an issue with cross contamination as long I tell them "wheat allergy" and it's on order. They can also make your own variation of a mixer if you prefer, and I've never had issues with vanilla and chocolate shakes I've tried. Their website lists allergens, however, they do not have a dedicated fryer so fries are not gf but listed as such on website. General Manager here cares and trains staff. Love this place!

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.
