No gluten-free fryer, but I had a burger on a lettuce wrap (they also do gluten-free buns) and had no reaction

Now has a dedicated fryer for fries, we tested the fries with the Nima and they came out safe 😃, unfortunately we ordered the chicken sandwich with gluten free bun and that tested positive for wheat, probably from cross contamination on the grill, they grill the bun assuming with regular buns, we did not notify the wait staff, 👎 the chicken grill side came back positive for wheat 👎👎, otherwise the staff was pretty knowledgeable about gluten safety, another crappy day with celiac when ur starved

Had a turkey sandwich on gluten free bun, husband had burger with gluten free bun, French fries are fried in same area as everything else so I opted for a side of fruit. My father-in-law had a non-gluten free meal of an egg sandwich and potatoes and loved it.

Haven't gotten sick here at all, the burgers are great. Sadly they do not have a dedicated frier so the fries are not safe

Have eaten here many times over the past couple of years. I explain upon ordering having a "severe allergy to wheat" and I've been okay/not gotten sick after eating. I order the Rubyburger with gluten free bun, turkey meat, lettuce, tomato, and Ruby sauce, with French fries (made in a dedicated fryer). I have to be clear to the waiter in my explanation every time, and be very careful and on the lookout (my g free daughter had croutons in her salad recently), but the food is good, atmosphere is great and I've not gotten sick.

We used to LOVE their GF chicken fingers and fries as a family that rarely gets food like that. They took the GF chicken fingers off the menu.

GF buns still available.

Fries are GF in a fryer that is ONLY used for the GF fries.

Im being generous with my star rating because there are not a lot of options for us, meal-wise, at the airport. Ruby’s (though not marked on menu) has gluten free hamburger buns so you can get a burger or sandwich, or substitute for toast with your breakfast. They also offered to give me fruit instead of toast with my eggs which I appreciated.

Though my server answered all of my questions and suggested options as the fries are not made in a separate fryer, I got sick immediately after eating here from cross contamination.

They’re not knowledgeable about celiac. The waitress said “My daughter used to have celiac and would get bad hives. But she outgrew it”. When asked if the chili was gluten free, she said “No because it has beef and beans”. She clearly did not know what she was talking about

Ended up playing it safe with the chicken Caesar salad which was surprisingly good.
