We visited with our two kids who must eat GF. The manager, Jay, was SO helpful and accommodating. He personally oversaw the preparation of our order and took steps to prevent cross contamination. The GF buns appear to be Udi’s.

I am very sensitive and they did an AMAZING job! I spoke to the supervisor when placing my order and she was very helpful. I had a burger on a GF bun and tater tots! I couldn’t believe I was actually going to get fried tater tots (haven’t had since I was dx)!!! Furthermore, my burger was so tasty. They have a GF fryer and toast the GF buns on the stove top. All other buns go in a separate toaster. I’m so excited to say I ate like a queen and did NOT get sick. Would recommend!

Gluten-free bun option. You can choose your own toppings. Not sure about cross contamination. I'm gluten sensitive and do not have celiac, but I have never gotten sick here. My favorite burger place!

Option to order your burger on a gluten free bun. So nice to be able to eat at a burger place! You can create your own burger or chicken sandwich to make sure you avoid any gluten. Sweet potato smash fries are gluten free but there's some cross contamination risk there so I wouldn't recommend it. Great experience!

Staff very knowledgeable front staff went to back to help make order to make sure it was done right. Dedicated gf fryer. And a spot on the grill to toast gf buns where no regular buns go.

Some of the staff members didn’t seem very knowledgeable about the menu, I was able to get a gf bun and the fries had a dedicated fryer. All in all it’s ok in a pinch but there is better in the area

Very tasty burgers with gluten free buns - as noted, it is a $2 up charge which I don’t love, but grateful to have a gf option. The fries and smash tots with rosemary and garlic are also gf and delish! They were very helpful with our order.

Good burger and safe fries. I think a $2 upcharge for the gf bun is absurd but what can you do? They also have dairy-free shakes that are very good although a little unusual.
