Excellent selection with awesome GF rolls that don't fall apart. GF fries, also! Our go to place when we are in Birmingham.

Very friendly, helpful staff, even at the end of the day near closing time. When I ordered, they made sure to ask "do you have a gluten sensitivity or is it serious?" and when I told her I had celiac, she made notes for the kitchen to be extremely careful with my food.

They have a dedicated fryer for gluten free food. I got their farm burger on a gluten free bun with sweet potato fries. It was great!

The staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating to GF. I personally didn’t think the burger was great though. Very salty and the bun was just ok and it fell apart.

The staff was knowledgeable about their menu and made sure to tell me that they don't have a dedicated fryer for their french fries. They offer gluten free buns and grass-fed, organic, local beef. At the date of posting, they also offered Original Sin Hard Cider, Omission GF pale alr, and wine.

Had a great lunch here—I had a farm burger with bacon and the other person with me (non-celiac wheat allergy that is ok with cross contamination) had a chicken burger with caramelized onion and lettuce plus an order of fries and a glass of fresh lemonade. The burger buns are very good and are toasted separately from the gluten buns. The fries are from a shared fryer so sadly not safe for me … but they looked good. Great atmosphere and attentive, friendly staff. We will be back!

Gluten Free Buns for their burgers, and when I said that I was Gluten Free, they said they have a separate frier for the fries. With cider on tap too, I highly recommend. You can also get the kids ice cream afterwards from the case.

Sit at the bar counter so you can communicate allergy with your server without feeling rushed by people in line behind you.

Over several visits, servers have been very good about understanding gluten allergy and marking it clearly on the ticket for the kitchen. Request the GF fryer for fries.

I had a delicious GF burger and kale slaw. The GF bun was the best I’ve ever had - I’ll have to ask them who supplies their buns! I tested everything, and it was safe. Tasty food, and I didn’t get sick!

EDIT: Some time ago I had a really bad experience at Farm Burger, I figured it was just an off night staffed with rogue employees, so traveling back through Huntsville I decided to give them a second chance, I figured with that many good reviews they must be good. I’m so glad I did!

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a burger and fries and not got at least a little sick, I figure it’s a contaminated spatula issue, but ate a great burger and fries with zero symptoms (I’m very sensitive)

Thanks Farm Burger! Keep up the good work!!

Old Review-

I ate here based on the good reviews, but I must have caught them on a bad day. My instinct was to walk out before my food even came, and as sick as I am right now I wish I would have.

The fact that they had headbanger rock playing loudly was very odd, like I said maybe the manager was away and it was just a bad day.

The guy who took my order was knowledgeable and suggested the Kale Slaw instead of fries because of cross contamination, but I assume they gave me a bun that wasn’t actually gluten free because this is way worse than cross contamination.
