Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

True Food Kitchen is a haven for those who crave vibrant, ingredient-driven meals and want a wealth of gluten-free options, but it’s not without risk for strict celiacs. The menu is clearly marked with gluten-free choices—think air-fried chicken, pizzas, pancakes, and even decadent desserts—and staff are typically well-versed in allergy protocols, often flagging allergies and using separate fryers for certain items. Still, the kitchen is shared, and several celiac diners have reported cross-contact incidents or being served incorrect buns, so you’ll need to be assertive and double-check every plate. If you’re comfortable communicating your needs and sticking to menu items labeled gluten-free, there’s a good shot you’ll leave both satisfied and safe, but those with severe sensitivities should weigh the risk—because let’s be real, we’ve all been burned before and it’s just not worth a repeat.
