Hat Creek Burger Co.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very knowledgeable about cross-contamination. Many gluten free options including buns. All sides safe and all shakes but birthday cake. Separate fryers and gloves for workers. Top notch place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly. Got the double with tots and of course had the try the chicken nuggets. Nuggets had a little spice but very good. Did not get sick, food was great!

This place is definitely for families i.e. little kids. The burgers are in fact gluten-free. It’s best to get them wrapped up in lettuce. It’s very noisy. And the burgers are delicious and messy.

Dedicated fryers! Everything fried is gf. However, not everything in the restaurant is marked so ask before trying- for example the Happy Sauce is not gf and is not marked. Also, the “protocol” for changing gloves was a little shaky, like they were still figuring it out but they did it. So far so good. I ordered a second order of fries.

They have an allergen list online and at the register. Note: happy sauce is NOT gf. Love the flashers and fries, i get 1/2 sweet potato and 1/2 regular fries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this place. Everything that is fried is GF! My kids love the chicken nuggets and fries. The tater tots are also great! We even Nima tested everything and no gluten was detected!

Burgers offered in lettuce wrap. Flash fried pickles and fried chicken is GF, as well as Taylor tots, fries and all sides. Cute new place! Only thing with gluten is there buns, all else is GF.

Celiac friendly?

I love this place. It’s my new favorite GF burger. We go so much now, they know my daughter’s name! Super friendly staff, and they know their stuff. Fries are delicious, and their sauces are great! Also, I’ve been doing low carb and their Paleo bowl is great!

Incredible GF options!!!! All sides, fried chicken, and burgers can be made GF. They even have GF fried pickles!!!

Chicken flashers are amazing 🤩. So glad to finally have a place with gluten free chicken nuggets. Sides are great too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All the sides are gluten free. They also offer gluten free buns. Happy sauce contains wheat but the others are safe. Dedicated fryer.

I had the chicken nuggets and they were awesome! As soon as you walk in the menu is displayed on the wall and it states which items are gluten-free. I will definitely be going back next time I'm in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost everything can be made GF (I usually get a burger bowl). They have a dedicated fryer so I can even get fried pickles! They have a dedicated mixer for milk shakes. Love it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great chicken flashers (freshly breaded nuggets) and fries, plus great selection of sauces including fry sauce, ranch and BBQ. Fries portion is large so I topically get 4 piece flashers. Nice to have place where no wheat goes into the fryers.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Was very surprised at their great menu options for kids. Their chicken nuggets are gluten free which is awesome for a 4 year old.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Super easy and delicious! Very helpful gluten free menu, knowledgeable staff, dedicated friers. I had the chicken fingers and they were delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable and the food was great. Gluten free fried pickles!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have some great options and the fact that they have a dedicated fryer is awesome!! The burgers can be made with a GF bun or lettuce wrap. Just be careful and ask about the sauces. There is one of their special sauces that does have wheat. I know the fry sauce is safe (and delicious) though!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The burger was great! The sweet potato fries were good, the regular fries were quite sub- par.

Limited options. Not worth the time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic place for gluten free! My go to when I am out and about especially since all sides are safe!

Amazing food and great accommodations! They have a dedicated fryers and gluten free chicken nuggets.

The chicken flashers are really good with a good amount of batter and crispy. My whole family loves them. Fries are good too. You can also get the chicken flashers on a salad.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love the chicken flashers and fries! All the sides are gluten free. Ketchup is Heinz so that's safe too. Service is great and so is the food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place lists what is already gluten free and if it isn’t already, how to make it gluten free. Most everything on the menu was safe and delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Let them know it is an allergy when you order and they will prevent cross contamination. GF is marked on the menu and they have a dedicated fryer. The chicken flashers were good and I even tried fried pickles for the first time.

I had the Chicken Flashers (like nuggets, but bigger) and fried pickles and tater tots. All the breaded items are gluten-free!! The food was good, but I’m not giving five stars because the breading is a little heavy on the pepper. It didn’t keep me from eating it, but gave my husband bad heartburn that night.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We love this place. Dedicated fryer...chicken nuggets, fried pickles, tater tots. So good! Two things are not gluten free. The regular buns (they have gluten free buns), and the happy sauce.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Terrific place to be gluten free! They go out of their way to be careful and accommodating. And it’s a great place for kids too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free fryer area and buns available! Staff understands cross contamination procedures and food was excellent.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing!! They had so many GF options. All of the side items are GF as are the flash fried chicken nuggets. We enjoyed all of our food! They even have GF milkshakes and a dedicated mixer for the milkshakes!!

They now have GF buns! The chicken nuggets and all sides here are GF, even the fried pickles!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious!! They have a Paleo burger, which is a burger patty over fried sweet potatoes, baby spinach, and avocado. They also have GF buns, but I haven't tried them since I have an egg intolerance. All of their sides are GF...both kinds of fries are awesome!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am extremely allergic to gluten, and this place gave me such a huge smile! I haven't had fast food or gluten-free tater tots in over 8 years. Being able to get gluten free fast food with fried chicken, tater tots, and french fries for all under $12 through a drive-thru was the absolute best experience! I will forever remember Hat Creek, and definitely plan sharing it with my friends and plan on coming back! Info: Great staff. Multiple locations. Drive-thru. Online ordering. Gluten-free fried everything. Cheap prices. Not sure about buns or sauces, so I would ask them.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My daughter and I (both celiac) eat here every time we visit my brother and have never gotten sick. Now they carry the gluten free buns and th good is always yummy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Hamburger bun did not fall apart and the meat had a good, fresh flavor. Chicken nuggets are very good too. Love the sauces especially the fry sauce. Staff is always friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very clearly labeled GF options. Everything fried is GF so no worries on cross contamination there. Everything was yummy!

Gluten free buns and all sides are gluten free

Celiac friendly?

Y’all have to get the Paleo Burger Bowl. It is so delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have now eaten twice at Hat Creek Burger and loved it both times! The paleo burger (patty, avocado, sweet potato, and spinach in a bowl), chicken flashers (fried GF chicken nuggets), and fries are all really delicious. They mark all their GF items very clearly in the menu. Great place if you’re looking for something quick AND safe!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome quick option for gf. Is rather expensive. Wish they would carry a gf bun for the burgers because the burgers are amazing. Tried chicken tenders too they were dry. Recommend the pickles burgers fries and tots. Make sure to check the sauces are gf. I believe it’s the happy sauce that is not

Celiac friendly?

Yes

First time here today. Folks working here showed good knowledge about how to prepare food without gluten, based on our conversation. Nima sensor confirmed the food was gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was delicious as well as the staff. They have gluten free buns and gluten free fries. They take extra care of your meal. I had a burger and fries and it was delicious and I didn’t get sick. I would recommend it for lunch or dinner.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgeable staff and management. Dedicated fryers.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dedicated GF fryer with chicken tenders, tater tots, fries, pickles etc. I’m not sure I’d do a GF burger, but I was disappointed with the last reviewer’s comments since this is a go-to place for my daughter with celiac.

All the sides are gluten free! I had french fries, chicken nuggets, and a few tater tots from my friends plate. All were good and I didn’t get sick.

Excellent selection of quick GF food. Chicken nuggets, fried pickles are GF, as well as burgers with a GF bun or in a lettuce wrap.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome staff, fried pickles are GF and delicious. Chicken nuggets amazing will be back. Great folks

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is gf except the buns and one sauce! They offer corn tortillas for breakfast items. My favorite is their fried pickles. They even have gluten free chicken nuggets!! Real breaded ones, not grilled! So excited to have a drive-thru safe option! Counter service on the inside. Have been here multiple times have not gotten sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food. All items fried are gluten free. Tested the fries and “chicken nuggets” all came out gluten free!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable and extremely helpful with our order. No gluten free buns but lettuce wrap was alternative. Chicken fingers and nuggets are gluten free and fries are prepared gluten free. Will be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free options. Dedicated fryer. The gf fried pickles and chicken nuggets are amazing.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My 8 year old has celiac. We ordered 4 chicken flashers. These are double the size of grilled nuggets we get at other drive thru places that are celiac friendly. She loves them!! We also ordered tator tots. We don’t get these when we eat out because most places share fryers. The meal was $9 and it was not a kids meal. This price included the drink. I have no problem paying this price for my celiac kiddo to enjoy a meal out. We love it. The ranch dressing is amazing. Having good ranch can make or break a meal. I’ve been twice and had the little hat both times. Welcome to Little Elm. We are glad to have you here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Just wanted to add another glowing review of Hat Creek Burger!! I've had their chicken flashers, fried pickles (how fun to have gf fried pickles!!), sweet potato fries, tater tots, lettuce wrapped burgers, breakfast bowl (chose, egg, bacon, and avocado), and, today, the paleo burger (pattie, sweet potatoes, spinach, and avocado in a bowl)! It's all been great! One or two of their dipping sauces are not gluten free, so be sure to clarify. Otherwise, it's a great place for gf!!

This place is awesome!Totally safe for celiacs to eat with out worry!Havent gotten to try much yet,but what i have tried is great!First time to have fried pickles in five years!
