My go to for delivery. I always order the tenders, you can't even tell they're gluten free. The fries are good and they have so many options. I've never had a problem with them and I haven't had a reaction either.

Go every week, never had any ill effects. Good food. HOWEVER, regularly take things off the menu with no warning.

I love this place! Every time we come on vacation to Florida we drive here! Gluten free Chicken strips, cheese curds, French fries, cauliflower bites. All of the food that is so hard to find gluten free. They have healthy options that look delicious although I have never tried them. They are located in a building with 3 other gf/ speciality quick service restaurants. I wish this was a nationwide chain. A must try if you are in the area!

Usually, this is an easy place to go to eat some fast food with no cross contamination. Be careful if you get ice cream, I once was served an oreo shake and told it was gluten free. I got so sick! Honestly though, this place has gone downhill a lot since merging with Taco Dirty. Last time my family and I tried to dine outdoors here we were swarmed by big flies. If my kids didnt love it(which, in reality, they've started to lose their taste for it and we just tried EVOS for the first time today, its right up the road and not bad though a bit more expensive), I wouldn't bother to return. Oh, and in addition to all of that, the parking situation gives me anxiety. Always packed and super narrow. 1 last thing, the cauliflower bites aren't fully vegan, since they are fried with the chicken. I believe the same goes for the fries, but I am unsure.

Gluten free chicken strips, cheese curds, and breaded cauliflower bites. Did not care for sauces.

First time visit I ordered chicken bites and sweet potato fries. The fries were cooked perfectly. The chicken was heavily breaded and overly crunchy. It was a bit dry. I think it was sitting in the warmer too long. I will try the tenders instead next time. Sauces run on the spicy side. Overall, food that I will try again. ** Edited to add that as I was leaving I noticed another customer had chicken bites on their tray. My chicken bites look like popcorn chicken and their chicken bites looked closer to chicken nuggets. Quite a difference in presentation and perhaps the reason why my food was overly dry. Update- I have been back many times now and the chicken tenders have always been perfect. It’s my favorite place to go. The cheese curds and sweet potato fries are wonderful as well. The only room for improvement would be to offer sauces that are not so spicy and garlicky.

The fried chicken sandwich on a gluten free wrap with French fries was fresh and delicious! This particular location is in a “dining hall” with 2 other restaurants that serve tacos, smoothies and desserts and is next door to Fresh Kitchen which is amazing also. The guest service was fantastic! We came here twice in our two days of vacation and wish they could come to Austin! So yourself a favor and make the stop here I’m even if it’s 20 minutes out of the way, trust me!!

It is so nice to have fried wings again!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yes there is the potential for cross contamination here. I told the staff I had an allergy, the told me they could prep my chicken bowl in a separate space. I went with the grilled chicken and green buffalo sauce. Delicious!!! Unique eats and I felt great after eating. Thank you

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Well the food there tastes excellent, and they advertise and plaster all over the restaurant that their fryers and batter are totally gluten-free, but my Nima sensor told me something different. I tested the fried chicken, and it detected gluten. Though the sensor can’t tell me how much gluten was detected, for a sensitive celiac, any amount is bad. I’ll have to play the waiting game to see if I get sick. I’m really bummed about this because I was impressed with how confident they were that everything I ordered was gluten safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

I do not recommend this place to any true celiac who is sensitive to cross contamination. It would be a great place for someone with a gluten sensitivity as there are many gluten “friendly” options. However, there is still many cooks in the back and lots of opportunities for cross contamination. Unfortunately, the place appears safe, but was not. And I have been sick for several days from cross contamination. The food was delicious but is not safe for a true celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

The kale chicken salad, sweet potato fries, brussel sprouts and chicken wrap were amazing!

I had the buttermilk chicken strips and battered cauliflower. The restaurant states, “If it’s fried, it’s gluten free.” While they do have a few non-gluten free items, I was very confident I received a gluten free meal. What is more amazing is that my non-gluten free family really enjoyed their meal too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free options, keto friendly the winds e are very good. Everything was delicious

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Got tacos that was GF, no problems, Celiac 2006. First time that I ate tacos out. Will be a regular on Tuesdays.😍

Celiac friendly?

Staff was great and the food was even better. Some of the best fried chicken you will ever find and even has gluten free fries that are fried in a separate fryer. Great for kids as well

Celiac friendly?

Want real fried chicken that won’t get you sick! Go to BetterByrd!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It’s so great to find a GF- safe for celiac- restaurant that won’t break the bank! Highly recommend this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sooo good! I have celiac and could’ve cried at how good their chicken tenders and fries are. Run don’t walk here!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely fabulous!!! If it is fried it is gluten free, os their motto!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

If you are Celiac you probably are dreaming of a breaded piece of chicken with that wonderful crunch and taste only the batter can make! I’ve FOUND a place that I can eat THAT and it’s GLUTEN FREE! these folks (1) know how to make tasty food and (2) how to make Allergy friendly food taste GREAT! I’m so happy that I haven’t even finished my meal and I’m posting. This is not chain food, it’s food “off the chain”. They put thought and taste buds into the recipes. By the way, Donuts are not offered, because they could not find s way to make them tasty enough. So, they now make GF Cookies and GF Vegan shakes. Here in St. Pete, they are sharing a building and outdoor seating with Fresh Kitchen. You’ll be GLAD you came!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free chicken fingers!!!

On my list of places I can eat gf with no worries. Many options, even the fried chicken is gf. Don't miss the brussel sprouts, crispy melt in your mouth.

This place is wonderful! Delicious GF fried chicken and fries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The restaurant has recently gone gluten-free. I got to have fried chicken after not having any for 8 years and was so delighted I was nearly in tears. The chicken was amazing the breading light and crispy the chicken was moist and juicy! I don't know if it's on the menu yet but they also made a dish with fried cauliflower bits then added cheese bacon and a bit of habanero sauce and it was so good.
