Five Guys

I found sesame seeds in my burger bowl. To my knowledge, the only item with sesame seeds would be the buns, which means my order was highly likely to have been cross-contaminated despite the gluten allergy request.

Figured out why I got glutened here, they share the mayo spreader with the buns. Since then, when I order I remind them to use new mayo and I haven’t had a problem. They have also been very friendly and accommodating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They asked if the kids meals was allergy or preference. When I told them allergies they changed gloves had one guy in charge of the order and made sure it was done right. Thankful for this place and will definitely be coming back!!

First- tell them you need GF, don’t just order the the lettuce wrap. If you tell them they make sure the person touching the buns doesn’t touch your food. If you get the lettuce wrap “all the way” it’s going to be messy but delicious! I love it because I can get the fries too! Some of the young kids at the register don’t know what Celiac’s is but if you explain the cross contamination issue they get it and make sure the people on the line do too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They will lettuce wrap the burger for you no problem and it is a great burger. The fries have made me sick even though they claim they are gluten free. Overall they are really good about cross contamination if you let them know.

I saw Susan's review and wanted to make sure everyone knew five guys is super careful with cross contamination but only if you tell them! when I asked what their gluten free options were he said they had their lettuce wrap and then just a burger bowl, I decided on the lettuce wrap. Then he specifically asked me about cross contamination and yelled to the crew to make sure they knew they had to be careful with mine. the lettuce wrap was awesome by the way and they give you more than enough so to act as an actual bun although I would reccomended not ordering as many sauces with the lettuce wrap, it'll be plenty juicy on its own(:

Celiac friendly?

Yes

No GF buns, but really good lettuce wraps. Everything is GF on the menu except buns and malt vinegar! Even the Cajun fries are! :-)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I'm happy to be able to eat here with my family. Everything has been good so far.

I watched them make the burgers. Looked like a lot of possibility for cross contamination. I just ordered a lettuce wrap burger and didn't tell them I was GF. Maybe they change gloves etc. if you tell them about your GF status.

Quite good! Lots of menu options.

Ordered a lettuce wrapped burger with bacon, Cajun fries a chocolate milkshake and a strawberry milkshake.

In the past we have not had issues.... But we were glutened this time. Don't take the chance.

In general Five Guys is great with allergies, but check your bag before you leave. The cashier today was new and didn't realize he needed to check "gluten allergy," he only put "separate bag," so they accidentally served it with the bread. But they were very happy to remake it when we pointed it out.

We communicated with the staff per usual, as Five Guys is a place we visit all the time. We’ve been to the one in Coral Gables, Jupiter, Boulder, Longmont, Montreal, Miami, New York, Mt. Tremblant. It always tested safe. Well, not in Castle Rock. Portable gluten tester flagged heavy gluten. They simply didn’t do a good job. Didn’t eat it.
