The waitress seemed to know about gluten allergies and even said they had a dedicated frier. After we ordered though, the manager came out and said she was super confused and then tried to say something like none of their meat was gluten free. He has this weird instance that only the bun was but then when we showed him their allergy menu explicitly stating that the meat was OK for gluten allergies, he backpedlled and said everything was fine and he was confused about something else. The whole conversation was very bizzare and stressful. I think he meant well and there was not any cross contamination but clearly the people working that shift were really uncomfortable with handling food allergies.

My partner and I both got burger and fries. I’m a symptomatic celiac and didn’t have any response. I called in advance to check about the fries, and there is a dedicated fryer for gf fries. Amazing 10/10!

I have eaten here several times. I have celiac and am very sensitive to contamination. I let them know at the beginning. They wipe the space clean and make me a burger separately using clean gloves. I have not gotten sick even once and I eat there probably once every couple of months.

Good burgers on an excellent gf bun. And fries! No reactions to food and I've rated here more than a few times. Be sure to tell them you have a true intolerance.

The allergen menu was not a printed menu but was online. The service was ok. We had to wait a while to be seated. The food was good! My husband with celiac did not get sick.

I have had several good experiences here. They have a dedicated fryer for their fries and always take my order seriously. Make sure to mention you have a gluten allergy.

They have really good gluten-free buns and they make everything in a separate area I've only had one issue where someone gave me fries that were cooked near gluten but i could easily tell because they dont put seasoning on their gf fries (but you can put some on yourself still) and they usually have purple sticks in the gf burger but they might have stopped doing that

Staff seems very confused about gluten free fries. Used to have to order them without ‘seasoning’, but last visit I was told that ALL of the fries are now gluten free, even with seasoning. The confusion seems limited to this location. Even the manager wasn’t all that reassuring. If you’re celiac, beware...
