What menu items are gluten-friendly at Ribs & Burgers?

We get asked this one all the time:

“Can I eat gluten-free at Ribs & Burgers?”

The answer? Sort of — but with some important caveats. While we’ve made a real effort to include more gluten-friendly options on our menu, we’re not a gluten-free restaurant — and it’s important you know what that means before ordering.

First Up: What Does Gluten-Friendly Really Mean?

When we say “gluten-friendly,” we mean that the item contains low or no gluten-based ingredients, but it’s not prepared in a gluten-free environment.

All our meals are cooked in kitchens where gluten is present across equipment, grills, fryers, and surfaces. So, while some items can be modified to reduce gluten, we cannot guarantee zero cross-contact — and therefore, our menu is not suitable for coeliacs or anyone with severe gluten intolerance.

Which Burgers Can Be Made Without Gluten?

We offer a gluten-free bun that can be swapped onto any burger on our menu. That way, you still get all the good stuff inside — without the standard bun.

But here’s the catch: our regular beef and chicken burger patties are basted in a sauce that contains gluten. If you’re avoiding gluten, ask our staff to exclude the baste from your meal.

What About Bowls and Salads?

Our burger bowls are a lower-gluten option (especially if you skip the patty baste), though again, they’re not suitable for those with coeliac disease due to the shared kitchen environment.

Recommended lower-gluten bowl options:

• Chicken Burger Bowl

• Beef Burger Bowl

And for lighter sides or add-ons, we recommend:

• Cabbage Salad

• Greek Salad

These items are made without gluten-based ingredients but are still prepared in kitchens that use gluten.

Can I Still Enjoy Ribs or Chicken?

Unfortunately, our beef and pork ribs are not suitable for gluten-free diets, as our bastings do contain gluten.

A Word of Caution: We’re Not a Gluten-Free Restaurant

While we go the extra mile to accommodate gluten-conscious diners, we want to be 100% clear:
We cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free from gluten.

All our meals are prepared in kitchens that use gluten across multiple stations, from grills to fryers. Even if you choose gluten-free ingredients, there may still be trace amounts present due to shared cooking equipment.

If you have coeliac disease or a serious gluten allergy, we recommend speaking to our staff first — or consulting your healthcare provider — before dining with us.
