Frank is my #1 go to. I don’t think I could’ve made it through my diagnosis without them. I’ve tried a lot on the menu… different hot dogs, burgers, veggie burger, specials, and of course the fries. I’ve never come across anything I didn’t like and never got sick. The owner and entire staff is super nice, friendly, and understand cross contamination. For specials the high-five fries and Nashville wings are to die for and I can never get enough of their fries! My fiancé who doesn’t have to eat gluten free absolutely loves it as well.
This place is wonderful. They are very knowledgeable about celiac disease and of the ingredients of their food. They are aware of the items that contain gluten. High five for stressing that malt has gluten in it! Hearing that made me feel very safe and comfortable to eat here. They have gluten free buns that are delicious! They are a clean establishment as well. Everytime someone leaves the tables are immediately wiped down. Gluten free items are presented on a designated gluten free marked tray. The food was out of this world, it was not super heavy or greasy but still had all the flavor. I will be going back, and raving to everyone about the experience.
everything on the menu is GF except for a couple sauces. the staff was very knowledgeable. they said nothing of gluten is put on the grill, only the meats, so there is very little risk for cross contamination. they have gf buns as well.

This place is as advertised in the other reviews. Extensive knowledge of and posting of what is gluten free. Outstanding options! The buns and rolls do not fall apart! Had the hotdogs today and will stop back tomorrow before leaving town for their burger. This place is a keeper!
All of the menu can be done gluten free but 1 of the sides. Incredible & delicious.
Awesome place and great food! Burgers are juicy and so yummy. I have celiac and they have so many options—GF hot dog and hamburger buns and all the toppings and sauces are GF with one exception.
I was in the Buffalo area and stopped at Franks. The food was phenomenal. My daughter and I both have celiac and loved the burgers and fries. We felt great afterward and can't wait to go back the next time we are in town.
dedicated fryers, entire menu can be made gluten free
This place is AMAZING!! You have to go here!! Food is incredible and I had no issues. Wish I could eat here all the time lol
COME HERE. The staff is so knowledgeable about cross contamination and what’s safe for us to eat. Dedicated fryers, Udi’s buns. 1000% will come back!!!!
I’ve been there twice now and love it! Tonight was a special of Nashville chicken tenders with fries and the time before was the joker fried chicken sandwich on a gf bun. It was my first time having fried chicken since being diagnosed with Celiac. I’m so happy to have found this place. I hear they have wonderful gf fish fry’s during Lent too.
I love franks so much. If you miss a Big Mac have the joker burger with extra joker sauce on the side. Dill dip with the fries are a must. So many gf options… I stop here every time I’m in Buffalo.
Omg! I ordered the chicken fingers and they are the best I ever had, even before I went GF! They were crispy, super moist, had great flavoring, and huge! The fries were delicious too!! Not like the plain fries you often get at other places, they had a nice flavor with sea salt. The portion of fries was super generous too.
Franks needs to open a 2nd location in the Southtowns!
Dedicated gluten free fryer so can always get fries. They have various burgers and hot dogs with gluten free buns. They have gluten free specials to keep an eye out for as well.
Almost anything can be made gluten free. I didn’t have anything fried because I’m avoiding canola oil. Hotdogs were good.
The food is always amazing, and I never get sick (Celiac)! There are dedicated fryers and all the fried food is gluten free. The only thing that is not gluten free is their regular buns (but they have GF ones)! The fried chicken and fried fish are amazing. And they now have chicken tenders! The staff is also knowledgeable and great!
Amazing!! I had the impractical joker. burger and it was fantastic!! Tasted like a world class big mac. I wish I lived near here and not just traveling through. If you have a chance dont even hesitant to stop!
This is my favorite “fast food” restaurant! Owners/staff understand GF safety procedures and work hard to carry a number of GF options. They have a killer menu of unique and very tasty burgers, dogs and even a couple of chicken sandwich options. GF roll usually holds together quite well. The fryer is safe and you will love the freshest fries (regular and sweets) with many dipping sauce options. Always check out their specials because they are amazing and most can be made GF. Casual, friendly atmosphere and a great outdoor patio. What can I say, I love Frank Gourmet Hot Dogs.
Owner was really knowledgeable and excited to make GF meals. Everything can be made GF almost
This place was easy to find and had plenty of parking out front. I got the Impractical Joker chicken sandwich, which was fried and pretty good, I just wish the chicken itself had a little more flavor. But the bun was good and didn't completely fall apart. My daughter got the bacon cheese burger, and we were both able to the eat the fries, which were very good. Neither of us got sick, so overall I do recommend this place as good gluten free option while in Buffalo.
Incredible menu and food. The first time I ate here the staff walked me through all my concerns, and I’ve been back many times and have never gotten sick. The Nashville Chicken sandwich and joker burger are so good, along with the fries. Love this place.
Great food! Dedicated fry fryer and gluten free bun options available. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful!
Love this place! Everything is fresh and delicious. Just received my email about their gluten-free fish fry for lent. So popular they only make fish fries on Fridays and you have to start ordering on the Monday before. Once they sell out for the week you are out of luck til next week.
Best fried gluten free chicken sandwich you’ll ever have 😋🤤 the fries are amazing too! Keep an eye out on their Facebook page, sometimes they have chicken finger boxes which are also amazing!!!!
Best hot dogs ever. So many gluten free choices and the fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer. So very friendly and so very good. I hate when you go somewhere and they don't know what they have if anything gluten free Frank's staff so far anyone I spoke to knows and understands the gluten free choices. Making my decision so much easier. Thank you Frank's for that. I'll definitely go back.
Was visiting family in Buffalo and they suggested dinner from here (I’m Celiac) and it was delicious! I felt great (although full) after dinner!
Knowledgeable staff, dedicated fryers and tasty food!
The food is amazing. Staff is very knowledgeable about gluten items on the menu. They gave GF buns for everything available.
Ordered online. Wasn’t sure what could be GF. When we got there the girl was amazing with her knowledge. She adjusted my order to include some items I didn’t think were GF but they were!! (Chili dog) Pretty much anything there can be made GF. Dedicated fryer Very good!
Very helpful. They have a dedicated fryer and GF buns. They packaged the GF items separately from the non gf items. We all loved the food!
Gluten free fries!!!! And sweet potato fries. Both amazing. The Nashville chicken sandwich was outstanding. My non-Gf family members loved all their food also. I had questions before we went and posted on a local GF Facebook page. The owner responded. Almost everything can be made GF. The patio is dog friendly. We will be back.
I have eaten here several tomes. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer. Delicious fried chicken sandwich, fish fry, cheeseburgers. They even have sandwiches with gf rye bread. They are always very patient with my questions and attentive to my family's gluten free needs. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
The quality of the gluten free food is as good as the quality of the non gluten free food.
Always conscientious of gluten free diet and customers.
I’ve gone to this place a couple times recently and I’ve like the food. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with gluten there so I figured I should share it:
I called ahead to order a gluten-free hotdog. When I got there, the cashier told the guys in back that she needed the gluten-free hotdog for pick up. I then watched one of the cooks ( who I think is an owner) take a hotdog off of a normal, gluteny roll, throw it back on the grill, roll it around for a second (presumably to burn off the gluten) and then proceeded to put it on the gluten-free hotdog roll. He wrapped it up and gave it to me. I was very disappointed.
So while I like the food, I would have to say that this place is not necessarily celiac-safe.
So good! The staff was amazing, talked to me about the menu. I ate onion strings on a hot dog. The fries were amazing.
Buns that don’t fall apart and aren’t too dry - delicious fries from dedicated fryer, plus great meats and sauces. Wish I lived in Buffalo
Perfect place for those summer time cravings. No worries, almost everything is GF and tasty.
Almost everything on menu can be made gluten free. Sweet potato fries with cinnamon sugar butter were excellent and a real treat.
Great gluten free options. Fish fry is out of this world- as good - maybe even better- than a gluten filled one! Hand cut fries-dedicated fryer. Gluten free rolls for their burgers and dogs. A great little place!
GF fish fry was like a dream finally come true! Crispy, delicious and so good that my non-gf family enjoyed it as well...
Try the sweet potato fries! Everything was delicious and the staff was very knowledgeable about Celiac disease. Will return.
Amazing place!!!! Everything is gluten free- (except Mac and cheese) including a gluten free fryer !! Worth the cost! Worth the drive!
Owner/Operators super knowledgeable, def on point. All fryers are dedicated fryers, because there is NO wheat flour in the facility (rice flour only); everything in the kitchen is GF except the potato rolls that they do not make onsite. You guys, even the crispy onions are GF!! So exciting to find a celiac-friendly burger joint. Beef is nitrate-free and grass fed. Delicious. I was a little concerned I wouldn’t love it as much as sahlens, but my dog was super tasty and my husbands burger was divine! Don’t forget French fry dipping sauce 😍
dedicated fryers, gluten free buns, fresh hand cut fries, vegetarian options. very celiac friendly, highly recommend.
