The staff is always very nice and conscientious about cross contact when I request gluten free. There are no GF buns, but you can get the burger wrapped in lettuce instead, or in a little tinfoil bowl with toppings on top. They grill the gluten buns on a separate grill than the burgers and the fryer is only used for their (gf) fries.

Dedicated fryer for French fries. Simply the best fries around. No GF buns but still a tasty burger without one.

Freshest tasting burgers anywhere!

Burgers cooked on separate grill, minimizing cross-contamination. They always are willing to put on new gloves when you let them know you need it gluten free, even without asking them to change gloves.

Guaranteed gluten free fries, since nothing else in the restaurant is fried. You can't beat that! No chance of cross-contamination in the fryer!

Obviously can't eat here if allergic to peanuts.

Not a great experience. Asked if they had gluten free options and the girl stared at me weird and then said yeah they do. I asked if they could change gloves and keep food separate while preparing and they said yes but didn’t communicate it to the back people. They didn’t change gloves and they prepared the lettuce burger with a regular bun burger side by side. Didn’t feel confident in no cross contamination.

The usual celiac five guys experience. Staff is well trained and can do a lettuce wrapped bun. Fries in dedicated fryer. Obviosuly not as safe as a sit down restaurant especially if busy but I had no issues.

I love Five Guys! No, they don't have a GF bun but the burger in a lettuce wrap is so delicious that I don't miss the bun at all. They have a separate grill for the buns so the burgers will not have CC and as long as you let them know you have celiac or are intolerant they will change gloves and take precautions. They also have a dedicated fryer so the fries are safe too! Yummm!
