Quick Summary

Grill’d is one of the BEST fast-casual options for low FODMAP dieters in Australia! They actually have a dedicated Low FODMAP dietary section on their website, making them exceptionally FODMAP-aware.

Best bets: Gluten-free bun + plain beef patty + plain mayo + safe veggies (no onion!)

Always avoid: ALL sauces except plain mayo, Spanish onion, Low Carb SuperBun

Why Grill’d is Great for FODMAP

Grill’d stands out because they:

  1. Have a dedicated Low FODMAP filter on their allergen information page
  2. Use a dedicated gluten-free fryer for chips (no cross-contamination)
  3. Offer a FODMAP-friendly gluten-free bun that’s also nut-free
  4. Allow full customization of every burger

How to Order

When ordering at Grill’d, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the Gluten-Free Bun - It’s FODMAP-friendly (the Low Carb SuperBun is NOT)
  2. Select your protein - Beef or plain grilled chicken
  3. Say “Plain mayo only, no other sauces” - This is critical
  4. Always say “No Spanish onion” - It’s in most burgers by default
  5. Add safe toppings - Lettuce, tomato, carrot, beetroot, pickles, cheese

The Sauce Situation

This is the most important thing to understand at Grill’d:

Staff Communication Tips

Here’s exactly what to say when ordering:

“I’m following a low FODMAP diet. Can I please have [burger name] on a gluten-free bun, with plain mayo only, and no onion? I need to avoid all other sauces.”

Grill’d staff are generally well-trained on dietary requirements. If they seem unsure, mention that Grill’d has a Low FODMAP section on their allergen guide.

The Chips Are Safe!

Great news - Grill’d chips (fries) are cooked in a dedicated gluten-free fryer, separate from any breaded items. This makes them safe for FODMAP dieters concerned about cross-contamination.

The Herbed Chips contain herbs and spices but no onion or garlic in the standard recipe. If you’re very sensitive, you can ask about the specific herb blend.

What About Salads?

If you want a salad instead of chips:

Safe toppings:

  • Lettuce
  • Carrot
  • Beetroot
  • Tomato
  • Cucumber
  • Pickles

Avoid:

  • Spanish onion
  • Any dressings (ask for olive oil and lemon instead)
