The staff is always extremely friendly and when placing your order if you tell them you have celiac they will place an allergy alert on your order! They also have a dedicated fryer for fries!

Stopped here along the way on a family road trip. When I asked about gluten free offerings, inquired about the dedicated fryer, the guy taking my order rolled his eyes at me. Needless to say, my daughter and I just had burgers. The burgers were okay, I was just looking forward to gluten free veggie frites.

While the employees weren't all initially aware, the fourth person I ask (manager) confirmed there was a dedicated fryer for all their fries, and their veggie frites are flash fried! Very impressive ending after a slow start.

This was the best burger! I loved their gluten free bun and sauce. They have a dedicated fryer of tallow oil, rather than toxic seed oils. I have celiac, and cannot tolerate soy and dairy. Since they use butter to cook their burgers, they cleaned and steamed the grill for me. I had a double, along with a side of fried brussel sprouts - they were beyond amazing! My husband had a BBQ burger and a side of sweet potato waffle fries. I felt great afterward! We will be returning many times.

I came in for a quick bite & the hope that they had something for this celiac girl to eat. I was sooo happy to get great information from the counter sales staff!! Shanese gave me details about the Smash sauce ingredients & how the fries were cooked and I was excited to see that they had gf buns. I ordered the Classic Smash & sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious!!

Had a fabulous experience at SmashBurger with my celiac 14 yo. Staff took great care to tell us how they observe CC avoidance, and since everything that goes into their fryer is GF, the fries and tots were options as well. They made sure to double check numerous times with our order to be sure it was prepared separately and carefully. 10/10.

Manager explained that all potato products are gf and chicken is in a separate fryer. We tried all flavors of fries and had burgers on GF buns.
