I ordered plain Cobb Salad, without meat. They added breaded chicken so I had to speak to staff, who said they’d give me a new meal with grilled gluten free chicken. It was incredibly busy and staff Ariana had already been rude so I said that was fine. They brought me breaded chicken with the salad. I spoke to staff again who brought me grilled chicken salad with packages of peppers that clearly said ‘contains wheat’, despite advising of my celiac diet, and recording this on the order. I didn’t eat the peppers but was ill an hour later, I suspect cross contamination and advise celiacs to avoid this sh*thole.

We stopped by this Chick-fil-A while traveling. They were slammed, so I just don’t think our need for no cross-contamination was a priority. My daughter has celiac and was in crazy pain after eating the grilled nuggets from this Chick-fil-A. It’s just taught is to be more careful about not choosing Chick-fil-A in the midst of a crazy lunch or dinner rush.

I never take my celiac son to Chick-fil-A because I’m so fearful that he will get sick from cross contamination. I know fast food can get tricky when trying to safely eat gluten free. The kind young lady at the drive thru was helpful and seemed knowledgeable about cooking practices and separate fryers. It made me feel very at ease about giving my son the grilled nuggets and fries. I’d been extremely anxious about it since we were traveling and had no other options for lunch. That was yesterday and I’ve seen no signs of sickness from him. I have no worries that he got anything he shouldn’t have. I’d definitely feel good about going back to this location again.

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! 🤷🏼‍♀
