When we walked in I asked about a dedicated fryer. The guy said they only fry their French fries and they are GF. He asked who had an allergy and then explained all they do for safety. The staff was amazing!! I must of heard allergy 10 times. They also asked where we wanted to sit and went and washed the table and all of the chairs!!! Rated a 4 because they don’t have GF buns.

Great fries and they do not make anything else in the fryers! They have been careful about changing gloves and will remove a couple layers of bacon to get to ones that are not exposed to gloved hands. I usually skip the bacon though just in case. They will make your burger in a lettuce wrap or a foil tray.They do use peanut oil and serve free peanuts while you wait, so if you have a peanut allergy not a safe option.

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!
