I was told by my server nothing was gluten free unless you asked for grilled chicken with no seasoning. Their special Chuys season that they put on literally everything has wheat. Beware!

I ate at Chuys for lunch today. I had a great meal. The manager came out and spoke to me and he explained to me that there was cross contamination was a likely possibility. He helped me find the safest option on the menu. I appreciated the help.

I called the restaurant to ask about gluten free options and was told this: There is no dedicated gluten free prep area. The fajita meat, ground beef, chips, cheese dip, and rice are not gluten free. The safest items were roasted chicken enchiladas, as they were on corn tortillas, and several sauces were gluten free.

My family ordered from here, so they all had tacos, sides, and chips, but I could only eat the chicka boom enchiladas. I will say, the food I had was very good! But, in the end, who wants to go to a Mexican restaurant where all you can eat is $12 enchiladas and nothing else? I will go back if I am eating with other people, but these limitations make it it not worthwhile as a go-to restaurant.

When I asked about a gluten-free menu the manager , Brent, came to our table. He was very knowledgeable of gf issues and assured me that the folks in the kitchen are also. There are several delicious gf options. Ask questions and choose carefully.

If you ask to see the manager when placing your order they will give you the MOON! If asked they will bake the chips. The ground beef is gluten free but the steak fajitas are not. Tacos can be made with soft corn tortillas. Cheese dip has gluten in it .. we had a great experience but always deal with the public

Not celiac friendly. Their chips are gluten free but they told me up front they do not have dedicated fryers.

I eat here all the time. I get the veggie enchiladas with the boom boom sauce and I have never had any issues. My Service Dog checks it for gluten and has never alerted to the veggie enchiladas.

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.
