Is Redbones Safe for Celiac Disease?

Redbones is not a dedicated gluten-free facility and may pose risks of cross-contamination, particularly with fried foods and shared equipment. While staff are sometimes knowledgeable, the lack of a fully gluten-free environment means it cannot be considered reliably safe for strict celiac diners.
