Metro Diner
Metro Diner offers a separate gluten-free menu.
Per-allergen evidence
Metro Diner offers a separate gluten-free menu. Staff are generally trained to handle requests. The kitchen is shared, there is no dedicated fryer, and cross-contact presents a real risk. Some locations have a dedicated toaster. Reviews are mixed. Several coeliac diners report getting sick, while others had good experiences. Confirmation of the order and inquiry about fryer sharing are always necessary.
