I was a little bit hesitant to order after my previous experience with a different restaurant that was supposedly gluten-free, but I thought I’d give my voice here because I do have some positive things I want to say about my experience ordering from McDonald’s through GrubHub with a need for a gluten-free diet. I was happy to discover through some research that many people state that the fries are indeed gluten-free, you do have to be careful because sometimes there are fryers that cross contaminate when it comes to gluten related products, so I was happy to hear that the large fried I had ordered did not make me sick. I was also happy to discover that although I try to avoid lactose, the McFlurry M&M is also supposedly gluten-free according to various sites on the web that you can research on! So it made me really happy to have that and not have as many issues with a Gluten as well. I also got a burger with the bread removed, and had everything else on it and eat it with a fork, and it was a little unorthodox, but I didn’t have my typical severe reaction to gluten like I have with other foods when eating having these three items. Although I will say that you do take a risk when it comes to the hamburger since it’s often that the burgers are produced in the same place that the bread is used and sometimes cross-contamination happens with gloves, but I was fortunate not to have that experience this time. So I just wanna put some positive experience out there for anyone else who might want to do some research on trying McDonald’s out for those that need a gluten-free diet and need some sort of takeout that can be found in this area!

They still carry the oatmeal at this location (not sure if others are the same) and I can’t guarantee there isn’t any cross contact, but it doesn’t upset my gluten sensitive tummy.

I love being able to have fries whenever!

Since they changed their McFlurry cup, you need to ask them to clean the stirrer before making yours, but they were happy to do that for me. Hashbrowns are good too!!

Husband and I each mobile ordered an iced coffee on our separate accounts and staff only brought out one order to the car. I sent my husband in to get the second order because unhoused people were doing crystal meth or crack right in front of our car at the mobile pickup.

Staff said we already got our order despite us having 2 separate receipts.

I watched a pimp / drug dealer in an Escalade have his girls hand off drugs to a another car that pulled up. I was legitimately afraid. Avoid this location like the plague.
