Restaurants with a Dedicated Gluten-Free Fryer in San Francisco

A dedicated gluten-free fryer is one of the clearest safety signals a restaurant can offer. In a shared fryer, even a few breadcrumbs contaminate the oil — meaning nothing fried in it is safe for celiacs. Every restaurant below has a documented dedicated GF fryer, so fried items like fries, wings, or calamari can be ordered with significantly lower cross-contamination risk.
