*Disclaimer: You should do your own research when it comes to gluten free items at these locations, as there are varying degrees of gluten sensitivity and cross contamination could be possible. I strongly suggest investigating the way the french fries are cooked at all locations and ALWAYS let your server know that you are gluten free. If they are unsure of what that means, ask to speak to the chef or manager. These suggestions were shared with me by members of our local Cedar Valley Celiacs group.
