Five Guys

There is always a small risk of cross contamination at a Five Guys because of the employees' gloves touching gluten but nevertheless it is my go-to for fast food and I don't think it's ever made me sick. The only gluten-free thing is the fries, but they're delicious, filling and the only gluten-free fast food fries from any chain I'm aware of.

I have come here multiple times and each time it was a different knowledge level about cross contamination. I've been glutened here several times because people do not change their gloves or they handle bread and then handle my food. Got glutened here today again. The fry cook had touched a bun and then wrapped it up. I asked him to change his gloves, which he did (and clearly wasn't happy about it.) but rather than put the fries in a separate bag, he put it in the main bag on top of the container with the burger. I am not sure if that was the reason I got sick or if someone else earlier in the line didn't change their gloves, but I'm done with this franchise. If you are a celiac and sensitive to cross contamination, AVOID this franchise. They don't know what they're doing and no matter how much you try to communicate, they still mess it up.

Celiac friendly?

No

Five Guys finally does a lettuce wrap that truly surrounds the burger. So happy I can eat the fries too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Five guys is great! the fries are yummy and they do a great wrap :)

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!

Separate fryer for fries. Very careful when preparing a burger and putting it in a bowl. No GF buns. Tell them you have an allergy. They will change gloves. Eaten here many times and have not been glutened
