Ordered a hamburger on a GF bun. There is an extra charge for the GF bun, but it wasn't much extra. Food was good and they claimed to have a dedicated fryer. Service wasn't very fast, but this isn't a fast food restaurant.

Pretty good! There was actually variety and the burger was good. The bun was dry but I wasn't expecting much so it was good for what it was.

Heard they had a gluten-free menu, so went in and tried. Ordered the jalapeno and grilled pineapple burger. Good stuff. There staff was knowledgable and told me they use a gluten free fryer and toast there gluten free buns in a separate area to avood cross contamination. Will be back.

Never had a reaction at this location. They have a gluten free menu and a dedicated fries fryer. You can make custom burgers and salads. Their gluten free buns aren’t the best, they fall apart easily, but it is pretty hard to find a safe burger joint so I don’t mind too much. Just place your order for a gluten allergy and make sure you double confirm everything will be cooked on clean/ separate surfaces.

Update 2024: The last 3 times I’ve eaten her or gotten to-go I have gotten sick so I won’t be coming back again. I’m not sure what changed as I order the same things and communicate the same needs/requests as before.

They are so amazing with celiac disease. Just let them know. They avoid contamination. They have a dedicated fryer that's on all the time now. Easily the safest burger you'll have.

You can build your own glutenfree burger! they have a seperate glutenfree menu and a dedicated glutenfree fryer. The brussel sprouts were amazing! I felt safe, but I am asymptomatic. Keep in mind that they also work with wheat buns in their kitchen. Prices are really fair, no upcharge for the glutenfree buns.
