Celiac safety assessment and key features
Thunder Burger & Bar claims the gold standard: a fully dedicated gluten-free facility, meaning you can actually exhale for once while eyeing that burger menu. Every item—yes, even the fried goodies and the soft, pillowy buns—is prepared in a kitchen that never sees a speck of wheat. For those of us who’ve spent years side-eyeing croutons and cross-contamination, it’s a real relief. The menu is playful and indulgent, and you won’t have to play 20 questions with your server about safety because here, gluten just isn’t invited to the party.
