Everything on the menu can be gluten free. We had 3 GF, 2 normal, and on GF/DF girl at our table and they brought out separate bread for each restriction. Huge portion too!

Staff is wonderful and the environment is always tidy and clean. Their Pasta Bolo has got to be one of my favorite dishes - gluten-free, diary-free guilt-free, all without feeling like I’m sacrificing anything.

Excellent pizzas. We tried the regular and the gluten-free and both were delicious!! The staff is very friendly. We will not return because we have to return to Valencia, Spain. Otherwise, we would gladly repeat.

Super yum, fast service, friendly workers, good price point ($15-20), and they have great WiFi when I eat in. I always get the lentil falafel chaat bowl with half rice half salad. The roasted sweet potatoes with the coconut sauce was divine. Complex flavors, gluten free and vegan. Tastes fresh and healthy, not greasy or heavy!

Juanita was an excellent server. She was very attentive without feeling overbearing. We had a late reservation and even so she never betrayed any sense of annoyance or tried to rush us out the door. Our cocktails arrived promptly and she was very informed about celiac allergies and provided a gluten-friendly menu immediately. The food was pretty good, but the service brought the restaurant to five stars. Big thank you to Juanita and the rest of the staff for making us feel comfortable and settling Us in for a nice meal.

I'm vegan and was looking for a quick meal in Grand Central and there are limited options, which is not the fault of Shake Shack. What IS the fault of Shake Shack was getting my order wrong TWICE, worse the second time than the first, and when I got it the third time, pickles had been removed for no particular reason. If I have to order the "veggie" shack with no cheese, no shack sauce, no bun (instead a lettuce wrap that was an unnecessary amount of lettuce), and no crispy onions, the least you guys could do is leave me my beloved pickles. Also getting rid of the vegan milk shakes you guys had was a massive mistake. They were only alright but improved the vegan Shake Shack dining experience greatly. PLEASE just put a vegan burger on the menu as something easier to order, you already have a gluten free bun option, just get a vegan one too I swear to God they're not that hard to come by.
