This is a regular for me and my wife. Never gotten sick here and have eaten here dozens of times. We always get the grilled nuggets and fries.

Review
Great service and great food. Can get the French fries because they don't fry anything with gluten in their fryers (only hash browns in the morning which are also gluten free) as the breaded chicken is pressure fried separately, which sadly we can't have. I usually get grilled chicken nuggets or the chicken sandwich with a gluten free bun. I usually go for the nuggets, but the sandwich is quite good if you are taking it home and can toast the bun. Service is always great and everyone is very friendly.

That were very nice about my CC worries. And the gluten free buns come packaged. They put the rest of your sandwich in a little box and let you make it yourself, which makes it easier to avoid CC. However after eating the fries I did feel a little off. But even then, small price to pay.

Chick-fil-A offers gluten free grilled chicken nuggets and many locations have dedicated fryers for fries. Check with your location if cross-contamination is a concern for you.

The staff is always very accommodating with the gluten free options. The gluten free buns are pretty good as well as the market salad and grilled nuggets. They also use a different fryer for their fries so no cross contamination.
Review
They have GF buns and the fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer. Used a NIMA tester and got a smile on fries and grilled nuggets.

I was so happy to find it! It was hiding. I had already checked menus at all the restaurants. Very pleased to get a grilled chicken. Their buns are great!

I’ve actually never had a reaction at this location and this is usually the location we go to when order through mobile order from Chick-Fil-A. I know in the past you were able to put a comment on mobile orders and I usually added gluten allergy, so you may have to go through the regular drive thru to let them know you have an allergy. However, I have not personally had any issues. Their fries and hash-browns are good too. 🥰

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.

Review
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.
