Who wants a burger and fries?

You can get them gluten-free at Five Guys! This American based chain restaurant is one of the few places that can offer safe gluten-free options. Five Guys has locations globally with three in Singapore.

The only gluten containing ingredients on the menu are buns and milkshake toppings. This makes it easy to order a gluten-free meal.

The menu does not change seasonally. The same items are reliably on the menu anytime, anywhere. Go ahead, grab a burger and fries!

What you need to know:

✓ Burgers, hot dogs, bacon, most toppings, and sodas are gluten-free.

✘ Grilled mushrooms and grilled onions are prepared next to the wheat buns, thus a high risk of cross contamination.

✘ Milkshakes options include malt and cookies, thus a high risk of cross contamination.

● Five Guys does not offer gluten-free buns. You can bring your own if you wish and put your lettuce wrapped burger in your bun.

● This is NOT a safe restaurant for people with peanut allergies. French fries are cooked in peanut oil.

Recommended ordering procedure:

Let them know you are allergic to gluten/wheat.
Order a burger/hot dog wrapped in lettuce (no bun) OR order a burger bowl.
Request they change gloves before making your burger.
If you are not confident, ask for a manager to oversee the preparation.
Your burger will be prepared on top of a foil wrapper which prevents cross contamination. Burger bowls will be prepared in a separate container.
Fries do not need to be specially ordered, both regular and cajun seasoned are all gluten-free and prepared in a dedicated fryer.

In most Five Guys outlets, the kitchen & prep area is open for viewing. It is advisable to watch your burger being prepared.
