I spoke to the manager Ian. He notified me that the fryer was not dedicated, but the grills are free from cross contact. There is a GF menu, not available on their online ordering. The front of house waitress who took my pickup order asked me if I wanted separate bags for my daughter's food and mine (she's not celiac thankfully).
Usually I would say they’re very allergy conscious but my boyfriend just picked us up takeout from there and got home to find out they did not give me a gluten free bun and now I can’t eat it. They do have a gluten free menu and things are marked, but definitely double check and be wary of cross contamination because I worked here for two years and I can promise you they don’t have a gluten free fryer like it says in another review.
The food is delicious and if you stress your allergy they will be careful, but definitely double check when you get your food and when you order.
I am usually apprehensive about heading out to a restaurant for a gluten free dinner without ample feedback. We tried The Green Turtle because of its convenient location and were pleasantly surprised. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful to all diners. The waitress assured us that she would make sure our daughter had a safe experience and she followed through. The BEST part is that they had a GF bun for the burger! My daughter enjoyed her meal and the family friendly atmosphere. We will definitely visit here again! I am giving it 5 stars for the service and accommodations, the manager recently told me they have a dedicated dryer for French fries.

Very limited GF menu. The GF bun was terrible, mealy, cold and dry.
They do have a gluten free menu which was nice, but for someone who is gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian… I literally had no options 😭 they couldn’t even make the broccoli dairy free… I got the apple salad no cheese and no dressing so i literally just had apples and leafs for dinner 😭
It was my second time eating here and I had a salad with no meat. It was really busy and the waitress seemed really casual about my GF request and mention of celiac. I didn’t feel fully confident that it would be safe. The salad was fine, but my stomach was a little bit off after. Not sure if it was from there, but wish there was more to offer at BWI or that GT was a little more user-friendly.
I haven’t eaten there yet, but I called and they said they would have such excellent accommodations for gluten free/celiac. They seemed happy to use different fryers, utensils, and cooking spaces, etc. I can’t wait to try it one day. Call yourself to confirm, but I am adding it here for others to find.
No gluten free menu anymore
