Dedicated GF kitchen space. Nothing gluten goes in any fryers. Everything is separate and DELICIOUS.

Omg. So good. I ordered the Chicago burger with GF bun and asked the employee if there was any other gluten on it. She was very knowledgeable and said no, the fried pickles are fried with rice flour.

Fries are GF and delicious.

Also, their GF bread has sesame seeds on it while their regular bread does not. It always gives me peace of mind when it looks noticeably different, so that I can be sure it’s safe.

I can say enough about how much I love this restaurant. I’ve been three times and I’ve had wonderful experiences. Very pleased with the knowledge, food safety and excellent food. Note: the GF bun has poppy and sesame seeds while the “regular” bun is plain.

Safe for Gluten free! The food was ok, if you eat meat free it’s probably really good. Separate Fryer for fries. Dirt balls are gluten free and good. Super knowledgeable about their food too.

Oh man! I was only visiting Des Moines, if we had a place like this in KC I would eat there once a week! They are only doing carryout now, and the man behind the counter knew what he waa talking about! I asked if the Dirt Balls were fried in a GF fryer and he said yes, everything is dredged in rice flour. The patty is GF and you can get a lovely, seedy GF bun-worth the upcharge. I ordered the Spartan, and he immediately took off a gluten item for me when placing the order. I felt very confident in their knowledge of GF and was not disappointed. No gluten reaction and the food was amazingly good, big burger and the dirt balls are yummy! Plus, it's healthy, but doesn't feel it.
