We had the best experience with the bartender!! (Sadly can’t remember her name) She was so knowledgeable about gluten free options and what was made with what. They even made me a new batch of steak because their original recipe is made with beer. She was so accommodating and made sure I had the best experience. Would 100% go back for her alone.
I ordered a salad with lettuce, carrots and avocado only. The cilantro dressing seemed a weird color in pink but I didn’t question it. I was told the chips were gluten-free so I had some. All night, my stomach hurt and was messed up. Don’t know where the cross-contamination happened but it was miserable for me. Keep in mind, though I didn’t order meat, their meats are apparently marinated in beer which makes them not gluten-free. Just a heads up and I will say the gf menu did say “not guaranteed gf” at the top. I should’ve trusted my gut. No pun intended. Bottom line… their menu was not gluten-free but more like gluten-friendly. They tried.

Fantastic experience at Chuy’s. The manager and majority of the staff were very knowledgeable on what items are gluten free items! Their chips are made in a dedicated fryer. And corn tortillas are gluten free. Staff was so kind to let me know all the gluten free sauces that were options. Their fajita meat is not gluten free. I had the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom enchiladas and they were delicious. No cross contamination and I feel great after my meal. I’m making Chuy’s my permanent Mexican food spot in OKC!

Even though they have a GF menu, they will not guarantee it will actually be GF. All their meat proteins have gluten - from the marinade. The chips are not GF either. Very disappointing.

The GM was extremely knowledgeable about the processes and cross contamination! Chips at this location are celiac safe, boom boom sauce, and jalapeno ranch as well!

A classic Tex Mex chain so you can expect the quality to be subpar. The manager was very accommodating and confirmed they had a dedicated fryer for only corn. However, they did have to check on a lot with the previous manager to ensure GF items. I got the chicken flautas with roasted chicken. While my typical reaction of ataxia did not kick in, I did leave feeling somewhat symptomatic: light headed, hot/cold flashes, weak on my feet etc. I think I may have been exposed in some capacity.
Be aware: marinated meat is cooked in beer, queso has gluten, Mexican rice is fried in gluten fryer, and chips are cross contaminated.

If you have celiac DONT DO IT! Let me be a cautionary tale to those with any kind of gluten sensitivity. I have celiac and am currently in the worst pain of my life from eating here.
