Long before I ever found out I needed to eat gluten-free, I came across Shake Shack in New York City and fell in love. The burgers were amazing. The fries were delightful. The milkshakes were heavenly. It didn’t matter what I had, it was excellent.
Fast forward some time and now I find myself facing the same dilemma as most others eating gluten free. How can you enjoy some of these things with family who may not need to eat gluten free? Thankfully, Shake Shack does not ignore those who need gluten free!
In fact, on their website they have an FAQ dedicated to how they will work to accommodate gluten-free requests. They share the concerns about cross contamination and how to order some of their items to enjoy them gluten-free.
They also have an excellent allergen menu, which shares items that are gluten free and items that are susceptible to cross contamination. You can find that allergen menu here.
I have had their gluten-free bun on several occasions. It is not my favorite bun to be honest. I find it dry and not very appetizing. But if you want to enjoy safe, gluten-free bread, perhaps it is worth trying. The other option is a lettuce wrap. You can even do this for the hotdogs!
Sure, it isn’t perfect, but it sure beats many other places without options! You’ll find several Shake Shack locations around central Florida and all of them have been extremely accommodating during my visits!
