We had a grilled sandwhich on a gf bun. We also had grilled chicken nuggets. Cashier was eager to flag it as an allergy and really helpful. Didn’t get sick at all (my husband is super sensitive to cross contamination).

Three members of our family are extremely sensitive and had no problems after eating here. We confirmed that the fries are prepared in a dedicated fryer. We all ordered the grilled nuggets and were very happy to have a hot meal with no reaction. The food was tasty and the Chick-fil-A sauce is gluten free as well.

While the staff says they maintain a dedicated fryer, they are not very understanding of GF. The grilled chicken and nuggets come in plain and are marinaded in a marinade that contains gluten. At most locations the kitchen staff leaves some chicken without the marinade to be used when a customer cannot have gluten. However at this location they decide to marinade it all at once, thus making the chicken unsafe for Celiacs. It frustrates me because I have been to many locations around the country that very easily accommodate this. Whats the point of a gluten free bun if my chicken won’t be gluten free too?

This location not very familiar with Gluten Free. I had to ask the Manager and he offered to print me out the nutrition list and I could verify glutens myself. After I mentioned a gf bun online he said “oh ya we’ve got those”. Has grilled chicken sandwich or grilled nuggets. No dedicated fryer. But does carry gluten free waffle chips.

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! 🤷🏼‍♀
