I walked in and just asked about the gluten free options they were clueless. Guy said he would “check if the fries are gluten free. He said they would “try to be careful” Bc the Cajun seasoning can cross contaminate. I left and didn’t order anythjng. They were not knowledgeable at all .

I had great experiences here for about six months, but the last two times I’ve eaten here I’ve gotten ill within 30 minutes with my typical symptoms of being glutened. Makes me sad because I love their food!

Great burger and fries! Dedicated fryer and knowledgeable cashier. She even included a note on the order of allergy and to wash hands. She was training a new hire and told him what he needed to do when inputting the order. Very friendly and clean!

Lovely meal with my burger in a lettuce wrap and cheese fries. Was sad the chili isn't gluten-free:( Safest "fast" food options according to my friends. So far so good!

I have been going here for the last two years on a regular basis and I LOVE IT!! I have Celiacs and I've never had a problem. However, I never order a bun with my burger. I prefer to wrap it in lettuce instead. The fries are AWESOME!!

Great food, great service. Knowledgable and friend staff. Not sure what the previous reviewer is talking about... Dedicated fryers for French fries. I confirmed that both at location and with corporate staff.

Best place ever!! Food is excellent!! Awesome customer service!! Nikki the cashier and Kelsey the Assistant General Manager were incredibly helpful and friendly. There was NO gluten in our meal, which is a rarity, even with places that claim they provide gluten free food. Absolutely recommend this Meatheads! (We had burgers, chili-cheese fries and milkshakes - on par with west coast's In and Out).

I am so thankful for this place. We traveled out of town, and I searched on here for gluten free places. There was a decent amount of reviews for Meatheads, but nothing super recent. When I got there, I told him I had celiac. He told me that they have a dedicated fryer just for gluten free fries. The gluten free bun was as expected, didn’t have too much crumbling, and wasn’t so dry I needed a drink after each bite. The fries were incredible, and you get so many. It felt great to order food and feel a little normal. I loved being able to enjoy fries with my burger. Would highly recommend!

Awesome experience. Christian took our order and understood exactly what I needed as a person with Celiac. Delicious burger and fries, felt safe, and would definitely come back if we ever travel through the area again. Many thanks!

The #1 problem seems to be that they insist on toasting all the damned buns on their grill. Thus, even the meat can be cross-contaminated even if you don't order a bun. The Udi's buns are fine of course, except those also get toasted on the same grill as everything else. The other issue is it depends which manager is on duty how careful or not they are. Most of the cook staff are workers with little training.

We have eaten here quite a few times, but occasionally been noticably contaminated. The order-taking staff are usually very good about GF and will mark the order as "gluten allergy" but that doesn't matter a lot with the above problems.

They are very knowledgeable and understood my concerns. I had a burger and fries with a gluten free bun. No issues. I get sick very easily with CC. I was nervous as crap but it was delicious and it had been forever since I had French fries that I didn’t make myself.

Good place! GF Buns and dedicated gf fryer. Friendly staff. Staff even came over to our table to see how I liked my GF bun (which was, admittedly, falling apart) and to seek feedback on what they could do to improve it.
