We ordered the grilled chicken nuggets, fruit cup and waffle fries (after I asked the cashier, and she confirmed with another employee, if the waffle fries were in a dedicated fryer and safe for Celiac). About 10 minutes after my son started eating, he got very quiet, stared off and then began writhing in incredible pain, crying and saying his stomach hurt so much. Within 30 minutes, he began vomiting profusely nonstop until there was nothing left. The restaurant was quite busy/full when we were there. When I asked for a puke bag for the car ride and some water and napkins, the staff was very nice and helped with it. But we will never go back after being glutened!

Eat here quite often and never have problems. They make a note to change gloves. I get the grilled nuggets and fries are safe as they are prepped separately.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have never had an issue when I ate here. absolutely love it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chick-fil-a is about as gluten free friendly as most fast food places. Grilled chicken nuggets are the only real gluten free food. You can order a sandwich without a bun but they don't do a lettuce wrap or anything so it's like going almost anywhere and ordering without a bun then saying that they are gluten free. Food is good, but shouldn't be on this app just because they have an allergen menu and grilled chicken.

Celiac friendly?

No

This a new location, and it was super busy when we arrived. I staked our claim at a table, and my mom ordered grilled chicken tenders for me, but when my meal arrived, they were breaded and fried. It turns out they don't have grilled tenders, but they do have grilled nuggets, which they gave me. The breaded chicken (officially known as Chick-n-strips) comes in a cardboard container, but the grilled chicken comes in a round plastic container with a lid. Between the busyness and accidentally ordering something they didn't have, it's easy to see how a mix-up could happen. Fortunately, breaded chicken looks nothing like grilled chicken.Their website menu has "Health/allergen information" tab, which leads to several links including "Allergen, Gluten, & Diabetic Exchange." Clicking on that yields "Gluten information." "Below is a list of our menu items that may fit if you are trying to avoid gluten. Some ingredients such as spices and natural flavors may be proprietary; therefore, we may not have the source listed for those items....Please note that we do not have a gluten free prep area in our kitchens." They list all the gf sauces and dressings as well.

The multi grain GF bun is a 9 in the gluten free world. I got the grilled chicken club and waffle fries. Both taste really good and so far so good on contamination.

I have eaten here many times. I have found Chick-fil-A to be a very good gluten-free venue, however, If you have Celiac disease you must tell the cashier that the order is an allergy. Most places will automatically assume that GF is a diet preference and not use safe handling. They are trained in allergy handling and this is what they look for when working.

This Chick-fil-A is one of my favorite fast food restaurants in the area since it has a gluten-free menu.

This establishment offer grilled nuggets, grilled filets, gluten-free buns, lettuce wraps, french fries (made in their own fryer), fruit, kale salad, and other larger salads which you have the option of putting grilled nuggets on and customizing to your liking.

The cashier will communicate to the kitchen if you tell them you have a gluten allergy by having the kitchen team member change their gloves.

As a celiac I would definitely not recommend this location! I also have DH and got an awful rash after eating here. I would give it a zero safety rating if that was an option. Should have known it wasn’t safe when I was handed my food and asked if it was gluten free and he didn’t know. Most likely haven’t trained the staff about cross contamination. I assumed better from chick fil a. Your meal and service was definitely not my pleasure.

The staff warned against ordering even the grilled chicken and waffle fries because of cross-contamination. They offered me potato chips - LOL! 🤷🏼‍♀
