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.

Good burger and safe fries. I think a $2 upcharge for the gf bun is absurd but what can you do? They also have dairy-free shakes that are very good although a little unusual.

We’ve been here countless times and I’ve never had an issue. Very easy online ordering and the gf bun is good for the burgers. Fries and tater tots are in a dedicated fryer. I never opt for the milkshakes though since the brand they use isn’t gf.

No options. They had gluten free buns but all the food is cooked together so none of the options are safe.
