Was very clear about my celiac disease. And was careful to only order gluten free items. A few minutes after eating, started having a very clear reaction. Extremely disappointed and will not be coming back to any hat creek locations. Now I will be sick for days because of negligence regarding cross contact.
All fried stuff is gluten-free, including their fried pickles and chicken nuggets. Can also get a gf fried chicken sandwich here bc they have the gf bun. Or you can get a burger with gf bun. So nice to have a gluten-free fast food/fried food place, because that is usually where I struggle to find something I can eat safely. I basically almost cried when I discovered Hat Creek’s gf options lol.
Got the fried chicken patty on GF bun and seasoned fries. I really enjoyed my meal especially getting to try it with the fry sauce and Hat sauce. Decided I liked the Hat sauce the best. Did not get sick. Avoid the happy sauce because I was advised that it is not gluten-free. In a previous review someone said the mustard was not GF so I avoided their mustard but that reviewer may have been referring to the Happy sauce.
This is the only fast food place I can eat without getting sick. Their chicken flashers and all the fried sides are gluten free because they use a corn based batter and there’s no cross contamination. All the sauces are Gf except for the mustard. Some shakes are gf but there is cross contamination from the shake machine.
Outstanding. Great food friendly staff. Gluten free and safe eating, 5 stars
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.
They are very gluten friendly. All of the sides are gluten-free and nothing with gluten is fried so the French fries are safe. GF is marked on the menu. The salad dressings are gluten-free, but the self-serve sauces over by the fountain machine are not. It appears that the grain burger is not gluten-free. But there are options for meat-eaters as noted on the menu.
Almost everything is GF. The Flashers are great. The hamburgers are good. All the sides are GF. For some crazy reason, however, the have all these GF options but no GF buns. Still really good.
Hat's off to Hat Creek Burger Company for ONLY offering Gluten Free chicken nuggets, aka "Flashers." So crispy and delicious! Only wish there were more locations!
When I’m hungry for a burger and fries/tots, HCBC is my go to. I have always had a good experience. I travel a lot up and down I35, and I have stopped at every location along that route and have never been glutened. Their customer service is always great and the food is consistent. Safety 100%!
We were really impressed with Hat Creek. Definitely highest % of the menu being gf compared to any other fast food, and was the best gf fast food weve had before. We tried to Bacon Royale, nuggets, fries, and fried pickles. Everything was delicious, and the batter was perfect. Plenty of sauces available as well (+ the fry sauce was perfect!). We will definitely be stopping the next time were near a hat creek again!
