Separate gluten free menu. Burgers and sandwiches are on a gf burger roll which was dry and crumbly but tasted good. Food came out with an allergy stick.

We really love The Counter. They are careful with gluten free. Dedicated fryer. The only downside is their gluten free buns crumble and fall apart after the first couple of bites of your burger.

This place has good gluten-free options. The burgers are tasty. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly! Fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer. Highly recommend!

Food is unremarkable but my burger was celiac safe. Everything is clearly marked and the staff seemed to be reasonably confident. The milkshakes aren’t GF though which is a bummer!

Not good. I went there years ago and had no reaction, but recently I went and got an impossible burger on a gluten free bun with a side of fries. Initially, I wanted to get the vegan veggie burger because meat affects me so I asked if it was gluten free and the server went to check. When he came back he said “it has soy in it so it’s not gluten free” I was super confused and said soy didn’t have gluten and he responded “ok but it does though”. So that was off putting and I wasn’t warned the fries didn’t have a dedicated fryer which I should’ve asked but didn’t think to because I didn’t have a reaction the first time I went. Unfortunately, I ended up getting very sick. I would avoid this place if you have any allergies or celiacs because not only is the staff somewhat rude, but the food will probably give you a reaction.

Fantastic fries!!! My Buffalo burger (with optional non-dairy cheese!) was phenomenal and my whole family was happy with our variety of gf and non-gf items.

The organic bison burger was fantastic and the shoe string fries are the BEST anywhere! Irregular burgers are great too, but the bison burger is also organic. The gluten-free buns are delicious. They are so good about accommodating gluten allergy. Love the selection on the menu and all the toppings. Super clean food and taste the best. Service was great oh and they dropped their prices a lot so it's much more reasonably priced than it used to be. They have a full bar and the vibe is great. It's a keeper.
