Staff is very knowledgeable about gluten free options and safe handling practices. Waffle fries are cooked in dedicated fryer. Can also order through app and add special instruction to red flag for gluten allergies. They will change gloves and bag separately from gluten items. Go a few times a month for my celiac son (drive through and inside), never had any bad reactions.

Review
I have been here 3 or 4 times now and have not had a reaction, fingers crossed. They have great customer service. Let them know you have an allergy and they will "Red Flag" your order and change gloves. I've had the grilled chicken sandwich with gluten-free bun (I asked to assemble it myself) and the grilled nuggets. Chick Fil A sauce on the side. All beverages are gf.
Notes
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.

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!

Review
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.
