Options are pretty limited here, and I never loved the chicken. Waffle fries are decent enough but I absolutely have to dock points for chick-fila donating so much to homophobic organizations.

pre-diagnosis I was always a fan of their fried chicken sandwiches/nuggets. figured I’d give their grilled chicken sandwich (w gf bun) a try and was pleasantly surprised! bun came packaged separately and was actually pretty yummy :) and as always their fries and sauces slap

Like every Chick-Fil-A chain I’ve ever been to, I’ve put a note about being GF on my order and have never had an issue! I love this place and how close it is to my home.

I’ve eaten here multiple times over the last few years. I have celiac and I’ve never gotten sick. They have gluten free buns that they give you that are unopened. The sandwich usually comes in a take out box, and you assemble it with the bun by yourself so their is no cross contamination. Waffle Fries are gluten free, and cooked in a separate fryer from anything else they may offer. Request a gluten free bun and tell them you have an allergy. They’ve never messed up my order.

I used to go to chick til a before I was diagnosed and their chicken is the best! It is a little pricy for the amount they give, but the nuggets are so worth it. When I became celiac I was eager to try there gluten free options, but all they had was grilled chicken, that for some reason is spicy. It’s not bad-my sister loves it, but me personally don’t love their food anymore, I just get fries when we go which doesn’t fill me up unfortunately, but still good. :)

I am not a chicken eater, so I've only ever had the delicious, delicious waffle fries. We always ask for them in a separate bag and it's hit or miss whether we they do it or not. But the fries are delicious and it's so hard to find GF fries. I've never gotten sick here. The very, very, very, very best part about this location is that it is right next to a Wendy's, so you can get GF fries at Chick-Fil-A and then go right to Wendy's and get a Frosty. Frosty and Fries, Celiac style!!! I was so happy when I figured this out because I truly missed Frosty and fries. Such a nice treat! I vote yes for Celiac friendly because you can actually get fries! I believe there are some GF grilled chicken options, 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! 🤷🏼‍♀
