I have celiacs and any five guys location that I have gone to will prepare my burger and change their gloves if I make it specific that they need too. Fries are gluten free too and prepared in separate fryer. I’ve eaten here multiple times and never gotten sick.

Ordered it. Asked to change gloves and have a safe space to work but didn’t do any of that. This location isn’t a safe place for celiacs

Big fan of Five Guys because they have a gluten free fryer (they don't make any fried items with gluten) and their fries are deliciously fresh. I've been asked if I had any food allergies here before I could declare my celiac and I feel good about their kitchen handling. Burgers are gluten free as a lettuce wrap, a little drippy here but worth it. Great food!

It says there hasn't been a review in two years so I'm updating this one 4/15/24! Still haven't gotten cross contaminated here through the years! Grab a burger!

When I asked for a lettuce wrap burger they immediately asked if I had a gluten allergy, I could even hear them talking about allergy while preparing the food. Dedicated fry fryer too!

I have severe celiac disease. I’ve eaten here multiple times and have never had a reaction. I always get the Bacon Cheeseburger with the lettuce wrap (since there’s no GF bun option) and an order of fries and they’re both DELICIOUS! As far as I know, the fries are the only thing fried in the fryers since there’s no other fried menu item offered; they’re fried in peanut oil though if anyone has a peanut allergy too.

I’m glad others seem to have had a good experience but I had quite the opposite.

Upon ordering, the guy at the cash register was less than caring about my situation and told me “we always change our gloves.” When I ask was the protocols were. I tried to advocate for myself.

Then, I watched the cook and she did change her gloves and then immediately touched a bun and then my lettuce wrap. I knew instantly that this was not a safe place for me.

After all that, they put the one burger we ordered with a bun (for my non-gf husband) into the fries- like seriously? I’ve never had that happen ever. Always a dedicated fry bag.

The current staff is NOT allergy/celiac knowledgable and I would not recommend going here.

There was only partial knowledge here of allergy procedures. Cashier knew somewhat but had to walk cook through process to avoid cross contamination. Probably wouldn’t trust here all the time.
