The only GF option is the bun. The frier is not separate. I didn’t end up ordering anything, because I couldn’t guarantee any safety.

Stopped in for lunch passing through town. Placed order for a Turkey burger with GF bun for me, Grilled Chicken with GF bun for one teen and a brisket bacon cheeseburger (regular) for another teen. Cashier asked if gluten allergy and informed kitchen. He did seem very slightly irritated but I think it’s because he heard GF and steps over to inform kitchen but didn’t finish listening to me before he did. So when I said no cheese or certain toppings, he had to go back to the window to the kitchen. Regular and smash fries ordered. Both good. I thought the turkey burger was very good and flavorful but the patty was small especially in comparison to the bun. Could have eaten a double. Chicken was also thin (maybe that’s the smash part 😉) and teen considered average. Brisket burger was good but the burger patty could have been thicker as well.

Review
GF buns, a dedicated fryer, knowledgeable staff, fast service and good food. Our first trip was awesome.On our return trip I was told that they have to clean the grill before cooking GF burgers so they are only available if it's not too busy and they can clean the grill. I was told that I should call before coming to see if they can accommodate GF or not. We haven't been back as it seemed like an imposition on them for our last visit.

Udi's buns!
Yummy burgers!
Review
Smashburger now offers gluten-free buns for their burgers (Udi's -- $1 extra). We were also able to eat their fries and sweet potato fries. Both were yummy and gf! We were told they are done in separate fryers than the battered foods. Both of the gf people in our party ate with no adverse reaction. Yay!

Took allergy seriously, had a good bun and reassured on safety of preparation process.

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.
