Smashburger

I’m writing this review a little late as it’s now been more than a year since I was here. I was craving french fries hardcore and couldn’t find anywhere else even remotely safe that was open. When I called to see they said their fryer was dedicated and I said fuck it let’s go. This was still in the middle of the pandemic so there was no eating in restaurants, but I went in person to both order and wait to pick up because I wanted a face to be attached to the request to change gloves and please be safe etc. I had no reaction, but honestly now that things are more back to normal with more people, more orders, and staff likely overworked and cutting corners I wouldn’t take the risk again.

Most Smashburgers have a dedicated fryer but the guy at the register said this one does not. In addition the manager said all their shakes containing chocolate are produced in a facility that also processes wheat. Smashburger has been our go-to fast food for our son with celiac but this location was a bust. Makes me question how safe the others are.

I spoke with an employee who said they have three fryers: one for contains gluten, one for non-gluten items, and one just for the fries. They were very helpful about answering my questions.

Been here twice. They have a separate fryer for fries that gluten never touches. Their gluten free bun is pretty good! Manager was super kind and made sure everything was good before sending it out.
