Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Trader Jacks does not have a dedicated gluten-free menu or separate fryer, but staff are reported to be knowledgeable about coeliac needs and can guide diners on which items can be prepared safely.

Honest caveat: Multiple reviews confirm no separate fryer is used, increasing cross-contamination risk for coeliac diners.
