Went into this five guys for the first time today. Usually Five Guys is my “go to” in my area, but I will NEVER be back to this one. My husband told the first employee that I have Celiac Disease, he obviously was clueless. Meanwhile the only other employee that was there literally stood there with both hands touching two buns. The first employee talked to her in Spanish and then she took her hands from the buns and got out our patties and slapped them on the grill. That’s horrible cross contamination right there. We paid for the meal, but ended up throwing it away without taking one bite. Too risky there.
Very inexperienced with celiac disease.
No
Ate here twice, the second time I was literally sick for 7 days. I am done with Five Guys

Excellent food. Bun-less burgers and fries are safe (dedicated GF fryer). Reliable and delicious. Staff is careful to avoid cross-contamination.

I appreciate that they always ask if my lettuce wrapped order is an allergy. Fries are the only thing in the fryer, so no worries about cross contamination.

I’ve gone three times in two months and it’s been great every time. I tell them “allergy warning, I have celiac’s”. I order mine on lettuce (they do a really great job at wrapping the burger in lettuce), with everything on it.
I then inform them that my spouse would like a normal bacon burger on a bun. The staff has always reassured me and I hear them tell each other “allergy!” while cooking. They’ve always put my burger in a different bag marked “***ALLERGY***” and there was a red sticker on the tin foil of my burger.
If you’ve never been to a Five Guys, they have a very limited menu of just burgers (bacon, cheese, or plain) in three sizes, French fries (plain or Cajun), and milkshakes.
The only gluten items on the menu are the buns and malt. The chocolate shakes do not automatically come malted, so there’s never been a worry for me there.
