It’s very pricy but they offered me a burger in a bowl or a lettuce wrap for my burger. That’s about as gluten free as they are. I’m new to this so I’m a bit disappointed

The Burger bowl was absolutely delicious. Everything on a burger without the bun was very satisfying. Eating gluten free on the run is hard, but Five Guys made it easy and was very yummy. I highly recommend!

It’s very good, but know what to expect. It’s basically just a deconstructed burger in a bowl, no GF buns or anything like that. The fries are great, especially the Cajun fries (ask for them extra crispy!) I asked about a designated GF fryer, and they said nothing they fry contains gluten.

Just ask for the burger in a lettuce wrap and tell them its for an allergy. They alert the staff and you can even have the french fries!

Amazing!!! As I ordered (burger in a bowl) the lady stopped me and immediately asked if it was for a gluten allergy. Once I told her yes she immediately turned around to tell the cooks. While my family was finishing our order I watched as the cook washed his hands, changed gloves, and stared up a new burner. My food was cooked completely separate. They even put all my food in its own bag. It was an amazing experience and incredible food!

Review
Burgers can be ordered in a bowl, since the can be quite messy without a bun. Most staff are knowledgeable about gluten sensitivities and will take all necessary precautions to avoid cross-contamination. Fries are cooked in dedicated fryers and oil.

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
