Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

85%
Good

There’s something special about a burger joint where the owner actually lives with celiac disease—you can just feel that extra layer of understanding and care. The Stand may not be a dedicated gluten-free facility, but their protocols stand out: a dedicated gluten-free fryer, clear allergen labeling, and staff that treat celiac orders like a true medical need, not just a preference. You’ll find gluten-free buns that don’t crumble (hallelujah!), fries that are safe to indulge in, and even the occasional off-menu shake treat for those who ask. Sure, it’s drive-thru only and not every visit is perfect, but for celiacs craving classic comfort food without the usual side of anxiety, The Stand is a rare find in Phoenix.
