confidence 0.70 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Menu marks many dishes as GF (gluten-free) and offers gluten-free substitutes (tortillas, crust, bread). However, the kitchen is shared (non-GF bread served with soups, Iggy's bread explicitly noted as NOT gluten-free), and there is no indication of a dedicated fryer or prep area. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged by the venue.

Menu marks many dishes as VG (vegan), and states 'All dishes can be prepared as vegan; please ask your server.' However, the kitchen handles non-vegan ingredients (eggs, dairy cheese) in the same space, and there is no dedicated vegan prep area. Vegan substitutes are available but shared equipment is likely.
