Good GF options but stay vigilant. I'd say 50% of the time they give me the wrong bun but they're quick to remake. The buns do look clearly different so its easy to know. Fries and tots are GF & I've been told many times over the years they're in their own fryer. I've never been sick here. Have lots of good options if they don't mess up the order.

Good food. Lots of Gf options, but questionable care of precautions. I ordered a burger on GF bun but it came out on regular bun. I sent it back and clarified I could not just have the bun switched as I have celiac. Server assured me it would not be. But it came back very quickly and I questioned it again. Server told me it had been remade. I should have gone with my gut and not eaten it, but I did… only to not feel great that night. (My daughter told me next time to cover the dish in salt before sending it back so that it’s easy to know if it was remade or just switched out.) This place may be great for a non-celiac since they have so many Gf options. But honestly in looking back I think the server just lied to me.

The menu offered gluten-free buns/bread (upcharge applies) which had a pretty nice texture - just crumbly enough to assure me that I got what I ordered. The burger was great! Don’t trust the fryer. There are only three or four breaded menu items but without a dedicated gluten-free fryer, the fries/tots are a generous portion of inflammation reaction.

Was in Cleveland for a work event. Opened up this app to see that it was 3 blocks from my hotel and they had a dedicated GF fryer.

100% hit it on the head, too. Server was super knowledgeable, kitchen staff adhered; no reaction at all for me.

Selection may have been small, but what they had is safe for Celiacs and damn tasty.

My son wanted the Gf hot dog meal. I was excited to see they had the option for a Gf bun! Sadly when it arrived they just placed the hot dog on a slice of Gf bread…. Disappointing. But he was still happy he got a dog and fries.

Thankfully I Nima tested my burger before I ate it. The burger bun failed the first test. They nicely remade my burger while the manager watched to make sure there was no cross contamination. Second burger passed! Tots were great. They have a dedicated fryer.

GF buns, croutons (!), and a dedicated fryer for fries and tater tots. The only thing they weren’t sure about was dessert, but by that point I was stuffed. So happy to finally eat a burger and fries without worry!

I had a great experience here!! We went last night before the game. My server was very knowledgeable about what I could and couldn't have. I ordered off of the kids menu because I wasn't hungry enough for anything else and couldn't take anything to go. The fries, and tater tots are fried separately and they are absolutely delicious!!! The BBQ sauce is not safe! The gluten free bun was fantastic, so soft and reminded me of how good bread used to be lol

My fiancé who has celiacs disease and I were in town with friends for the Indians Home Opener. He had used the Find Me Gluten Free and Wahlburgers showed GF and said they had a dedicated fryer. The staff was super friendly and they indeed did have GF options as well as the dedicated fryer. It was nice to actually enjoy a meal for once and not worry about cross contamination. I would highly recommend this place and the Find Me Gluten Free App. Go Tribe!

The server was NOT the least bit knowledgeable about what gluten was, let alone what food could make us sick. We were told that they had only one gluten free hot dog bun left and then served my son's hotdogs on a piece of bread. The food in general was not good and not even hot and service was very slow. I was really looking forward to Wahlburgers; love Donnie and Jenny!!!

It was great! We were in town for an Indians game, and despite what the MLB website said, we knew that the food in the stadium was not going to work for our celiac 8yr old son. Once we walked into Wahlburgers and said "Celiac" you would have thought that we owned the place! I was shocked and so happy, from the hostess to the waiter to to the bartender, they all made us feel like we had been there 100x. It blew my mind! AND the food was amazing!!!!! I eat GF with my son, tho I don't need too, but we r a team. Burgers and buns were delicious . They knew I didn't need GF, but they were sure that is what I got bc that is what I ordered! Dedicated fryer! YUM! Wish I had one closer in CT! BRAVO WAHLBURGERS !!!

We ate here a few days ago. My son and I have Celiac. We had no issues, but it was a leap of faith. Server was generally unaware of the GF menu options, but did have knowledge of the dedicated fryer for fries. He did go back and ask the kitchen manager what was safe and relayed that information to us. That said...we didn't feel 100% safe that our food would be GF. Turns out that it was, which was great, but we wish they would do a little more to make the ordering process more comfortable.

I've eaten at Wahlburgers before & have never had an issue, but this experience was my best yet. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable not only about the gluten free liquors, but about the food & dedicated fryers as well. He never hesitated to answer any of my questions right away. They don't have a separate gluten free menu, but it's listed on the menu that they have gluten free bread, buns, and croutons. I wasn't feeling like bread, so they made me a big salad with the burger & all of the toppings. All of the staff seems very happy (and knowledgeable) to assist with any allergy needs!
