I’m not celiac, just intolerant but only a couple of months into eating gluten free and having a difficult time with the lack of places I can find to eat. I was so happy when I went to Five Guys and sheepishly ordered a burger with no bun. The young man taking my order asked if it was a preference or an allergy, then asked if I wanted it in a bowl or lettuce wrapped! My day was made!! Then the young lady who gave me my food made sure to let me know my burger was in the separate plastic bag to keep it from contamination and that she made sure the fries weren’t touching my kids sandwiches either. I was so happy! They were so nice about it and actually seemed to know what’s to do!
I had a Severe reaction. The manager even came from the back to cook the burgers with gloves not sure what went wrong, she may have wrapped another order with same gloves. I’m extremely sensitive.
No
Was contaminated there though I let it be know I was celiac. Was sick for two days.
Yes
Order taker asks about allergy and informs cook staff. I like that I can see them following the protocols (change gloves, clean grill, etc). Dedicated french-fry fryer. Good food.
— Excellent
Refused to even serve me they said they can’t prevent any cross contamination even though the only gluten containing item in this location is the buns. Wouldn’t change gloves or utensils or anything just told me no.

April 26, 2014. These guys handle the 'Allergy burger' very well. Ask for it by that name, they'll know how to treat your food prep. They have a dedicated frier and make a mean lettuce wrapped burger. I always order extra lettuce and they don't fall apart. I never have an issue with cross-contamination at this chain.

They were so careful when preparing my burger and french fries. They do not have gluten free buns. The fries are safe to eat. I order a burger without a bun and bring in my own bun.

Ordered burger with no bun. Guy was helpful in answering questions. They hard a list of ingredients for different sauces. And marked it was for allergy on the order.
