Review
My wife has undiagnosed celiac and has a severe soy allergy. We have gone several times. I always state that she has an allergy and order the lettuce wrap or a bowl. French fries are naturally gluten-free and fried in peanut oil. We have been several times over the last few years and she’s never had a problem.

Great burgers and fries!!! Always surprisingly knowledgable and willing to accommodate my wife's gluten issues. She has never had a problem after eating here or at any five guys establishment.

As of 5/9/24…. Currently under construction but usually these are great places to go (get a lettuce wrap or bowl and tell them you have an “allergy” and they will be careful and change gloves). They only fry fries so they are safe. Hope they are back soon!

Review
The only thing they fry are potatoes
No seasonings on meats, dedicated side for the meat versus the buns
No GF bun but they do offer lettuce wrap, and a bowl option
No sauce or additives on grilled vegetables.
Only cross-contamination I saw was when building the hamburgers.
But very willing to change gloves.

Review
Went here before leaving on a trip. BIG MISTAKE! The lady at the register had a blank stare as we tried to explain to her my Celiac/severe gluten allergy. She spoke to the cook in Spanish. He nodded and said ok, no gluten. Within 10 minutes of eating I could tell I had been glutened. Made my trip miserable but it was my fault. I should have not eaten it. I’m new to this and am still naive to believe people will understand.
