Plant Power Fast Food

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

Provided GF buns and specially checked the guacamole burger to make sure there was nothing glutinous! They were out of fries so not sure whether those are cooked in a dedicated GF fryer or not. Everything here was vegan and delicious, including for the members of the family who usually enjoy meat!

The menu is clearly labeled with gluten free options as-is or substitutions are noted. There also is a full allergen menu online if you’re avoiding other allergens besides gluten.

I had the burger on a gluten free bun with a side of fries (made in a dedicated fryer 🥳) and a slice of vegan cheesecake. All around tasty and not terribly expensive either. I think my total was around $20 which for vegan and gluten free food is not bad at all.

Definitely will be stopping by again!

They have a dedicated fryer for the fries and will change gloves if asked. The employee I spoke with said that there is a cross contamination risk on grilled items and informed me that when it comes to cross contamination, the fries are the best bet because of the dedicated fryer. Stoked to have a safe place to fries!! And the Iconic Fries are really good!
