Five Guys

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good food (if not as good as In'N Out :) and great service; the lady at the counter verified with her manager, and the lady making my lettuce cheeseburger changed her gloves; I had no reaction.

That said, the cross-contamination potential is enormous, because they touch buns and condiments, in particular slather the mayo over breed.

I was hungry, and downtown Phoenix is a gluten desert on Sundays, so I took a chance. But until ALL steps and employees are safe I would be careful.

They did a good job changing gloves and being careful with my daughters hot dog. only 1 person makes fries so no contamination there. buns are toasted on a separate grill

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is dangerous if you have celiac. More often than not, the staff doesn't know what they are doing. If they do take precautions (change gloves ...) all the condiments have already been contaminated by handling buns then grabbing condiments with glutened gloves.

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.
