I eat here all the time and get fries and a burger with a lettuce wrap with no issues. Everyone is very careful about cleaning the space and changing gloves when I say I have a wheat allergy.

The staff was friendly, but they had no idea of what "gluten free" meant.

The employees were great about changing their gloves and preparing my lettuce wrapped burger away from the other food.

They said it was gluten free but had no knowledge of what that was and charged us full price $7 for just a hamburger patty! Would not come again. Makes for a sad kid when they think they are getting a hamburger & then all they can have is the patty 😡😡

Always ask for them to change their gloves just in case but they change them very frequently anyway. Ask for no bun-bowl or a lettuce wrap and all of the toppings are gf. Fries cooked in a frier that only cooks fries.

They have burgers in a bowl or with lettuce wrap, just ask. Great fries, which are the only thing they fry, and a cool computerized drink machine that can make 100 kinds of soda. I said " no bun, I eat gluten free" and the cashier asked me if I would like them to change gloves. It's about $12 per person for a burger, fries and a drink.

I always enjoy eating at Five Guys and never have had a gluten reaction. They have a very limited menu, which makes it easier and you can see them cook the food. They also had a veggie sandwich for vegetarians.Don't use the malt vinegar which will have barley in it if you have celiac or NCGS.

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!
