They make zero effort whatsoever to prepare food separately and told me they won't even have the chef change their gloves. They have gf menu items, but none of them are actually gluten free due to enormous cross contamination. Do not ever eat here if you have celiac.

They have identified gluten free options, but there is absolutely no attempt made to avoid cross contamination. There are a few pre-packaged items which are labeled gluten free.

Recently had to change my whole life and go gluten and dairy free cold Turkey. This place is a nice “cheat meal” with no worries about getting sick. Such a blessing

Cashier not very knowledgeable on GF. Forgot to make part of our order. Lettuce wraps have 5lbs of lettuce on them. Not great.

The gluten free buns were very good and not dry at all. I had the Holy Guacamole and my husband had the Big Zac. We shared a root beer float made with oak soft! serve and the Iconic fries which were my absolute favorite thing we ate. Neither of us had sign of cc which hits me within 2 hours.

Interestingly, it is located nearly nextdoor to a McDonald's, the sign of which is visible from the dining room. Plant Power food does have a McD's vibe but is way better in flavor and quality!

It is completely vegan/plant based/dairy free. As of writing this review, the fryer is dedicated gluten free (per the cashier). They apparently fry the fries in one frier completely on their own, and then the wheat products (like the “chicken”) in another frier. Always double check! As for the burger, they labeled mine GF on the package which was nice. The GF burgers have a distinctly darker bun than the regular (a good way to make sure you really got GF). The shakes are made with Oatly soft serve; Oatly uses GF oats. All their shakes are GF (including cookies and cream!!) with the exception of cookie butter which is not GF. The sauces are all GF except for the Zac sauce. The entire menu is clearly marked with GF/GFO.

I mentioned I have an allergy. The only thing that bothered me was they didn’t mark anything on the ticket about having an allergy - not sure if that’s a possibility but it always reassures me a little more. I’ve eaten here twice and didn’t get sick either time.
