Great burgers and options. The gluten free bun is like a biscuit. Still very good

We ate here a few days ago. The gluten free burgers were gross. They failed to ask and I failed to tell them I didn’t want a medium rare burger so discovering a half cooked patty was the start of my disdain. The few bites I did take were definitely void of salt and flavor. It was disappointing. Neither my daughter or I (both celiac) could eat the buns. I’m not sure how they make their “from scratch” gluten free buns but they had tons of HARD little balls the size of chia seeds in them. The texture was unlike anything we’ve ever encountered before. Who wants a crunchy/seedy bun? Those HARD little balls got stuck in teeth and were reminiscent of bits of bones or ground up tendons - or something close to the texture of rocks. And typical of many (not all) brands of gluten free buns, they completely fell apart into a crumbled mess.

It’s hard to give the place a rating for safety when I couldn’t finish my burger.

The staff (multiple people working who consulted each other) had no idea and couldn’t confirm whether any of their sauces (besides ketchup) were gluten free.

The fries were tasty but that’s the only positive thing I can say about the place.

For the price, it wasn’t worth it at all.

Came here after my daughter was newly diagnosed. Staff was knowledgeable about the disease and made sure to mark her order with a separate pink check to notate she has celiac and needs extra precautions. They offered her a gf bun for her burger and mentioned their fries are gf too.

Hopdoddy's inedible GF bun with HARD seeds throughout the entire bun. Burger lacked flavor and meat was undercooked.

Food is very good. Dedicated menu for GF food. The roll for my sandwich fell apart, needs to be toasted.

My daughter was so excited to see truffle fries in the gluten free menu! They were amazing! Burgers were fantastic too! We will definitely be back- love that they have a dedicated fryer for fries!

I went here based on the food safety feedback and was really impressed. The food was great, they understood celiac and took precautions to make sure I understood what was and was not GF. I had a regular cheeseburger and fries (thin, crispy, salty, HUGE portion) and my non celiac kids had specialty burgers and their own order of queso fries. Their GF bun is more like a biscuit, but if you go in expecting that you will probably like it. Overall, I felt very safe and would definitely go again when I return to Dallas.

I enjoyed a good hamburger but the GF bun was a little disappointing. The crust was a little hard and the texture was more like a biscuit. They can make any of their burgers GF giving you plenty of options. I was told they will change gloves and avoid any cross contamination. The shareable fries were great! Much more than my wife and I could eat.
