Cross-Contact Risk

Our kitchen is NOT an allergen-free environment. We use shared cooking equipment, utensils, preparation surfaces, and fryers for all menu items.

  • All menu items may come into contact with allergens during preparation
  • Our fryers are shared for multiple food items, including those containing allergens
  • Griddles and cooking surfaces are used for various ingredients
  • Utensils and serving equipment are shared across different stations

While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free from allergens or suitable for individuals with severe food allergies.

Your Responsibility

If you have a food allergy or dietary restriction, it is your responsibility to:

  • Inform your server immediately about all food allergies before ordering
  • Ask detailed questions about ingredients and preparation methods
  • Request to speak with a manager if you have concerns about allergen safety
  • Make the final decision about whether to consume any food item based on your individual risk tolerance
  • Carry emergency medication (such as an EpiPen) if you have severe food allergies

We will do our best to accommodate your needs, but we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free meal. Individuals with severe allergies should carefully consider whether dining at our restaurant is appropriate for their health and safety.
