Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

Burtons Grill & Bar operates a high-care gluten-free program backed by written protocols. These include dedicated purple cutting boards, utensils, and a dedicated gluten-free fryer. All gluten-free and allergy meals are served on square plates and delivered by a manager or certified allergy specialist. The venue has its own gluten-free menu, and staff are trained to ask about allergies at the start of every table. Multiple coeliac diners report safe experiences, though there are a handful of reports of errors, such as a wrong bun or regular pasta substituted, at various locations. Because the chain shares kitchens across allergens and there is no third-party accreditation certifying the program, it falls just short of A+. Call the location ahead and ask for the manager to reconfirm procedures.

Honest caveat: Multiple independent diners report being served regular pasta or brioche instead of gluten-free, causing reactions at more than one location.

Dairy-free

B
confidence 60%

The venue publishes a detailed allergy menu that lists dairy-free options and modifications, and the kitchen has a dedicated allergy prep area. Staff are reported to be trained on allergies. However, reports of cross-contact incidents involving dairy are not documented, and the gluten-free menu includes numerous dairy-containing items (cheese, cream, butter) so the shared kitchen is a real risk. Ask for the dairy-free menu and confirm with the manager or chef before ordering.

Nut-free

B
confidence 55%

Nut-free items appear on the restaurant's allergy menu. The kitchen uses a dedicated prep area for allergy orders. These nut-free options are part of a broader allergy-aware system that also includes dairy-free and gluten-free choices. No specific reports of nut-allergic reactions have been recorded. However, the kitchen works with tree nuts, including almonds used in several bowls, so cross-contact is possible. The manager on duty can provide details about the nut-free protocol.

Shellfish-free

B
confidence 50%

Shellfish-free options are listed on the allergy menu, and shellfish is present in the kitchen (She-Crab Soup, shrimp dishes) so cross-contact is a concern in a shared kitchen. The dedicated allergy prep area should provide a buffer, but there are no specific diner reports about shellfish safety. Confirm shellfish protocols with the kitchen before ordering.
