True Food Kitchen
True Food Kitchen labels many dishes as gluten-friendly.
Per-allergen evidence
True Food Kitchen labels many dishes as gluten-friendly. They also offer an allergen guide for those who need it. But the kitchen is shared, and they clearly state it is not a gluten-free kitchen, so cross-contact can happen. Alert your server. The team then takes extra precautions, including a manager verifying the order. Reliable if you communicate. Not suitable for anyone who needs zero risk.
