Staff was knowledgeable however, our son was severely contaminated. Have eaten at another Chuy’s in Richmond, VA with no issues but this location doesn’t have a safe environment for anyone with celiac.

We called ahead (to the Winter Park location, but I can't figure out how to delete the review on this location, although their menus are the same I believe so I would still avoid) because we were meeting friends. The manager my husband spoke with made it seem like he wouldn't have much to pick from but that they could accommodate gluten free as well as a seafood allergy. We arrive and he spoke with a different manager and she said that we shouldn't even be there and there was absolutely no way they could accommodate either. She said they don't (and wouldn't) change gloves between fish and chicken, seafood is prepared in the same place as salads and there is gluten in vertically all of their products and the few things that don't contain it are still completely unsafe because of how they run their kitchen. We ended up leaving before being seated and eating elsewhere. Absolutely not celiac friendly and honestly I don't think it would be a good option for anyone avoiding gluten or with any type of food allergies.

While the food is probably delicious it is not gluten free friendly at all. I had an extremely hard time finding anything I could eat. If you have celiac disease stay far away.

Chef was very helpful in explaining what was gluten free/contaminated. I ended up getting fajitas without rice and with plain (not marinated) chicken. I opted for the soft corn tortillas even though they are cooked on the same surface as flour and did not have a reaction. (I have celiac disease)

I have given 2 stars for the managers helpfulness in showing me what I could eat, but as he put it 'your probably breathing gluten in right now'. Husband who isn't coeliac said the food was ok but not much you can eat here if you are coeliac, I ended up with a grilled chicken salad with no dressing. Can't fault the staff though, very helpful.

They are aware that most of their menu is not gluten free due to reuse of fryer oil. Chips are not safe at this location. The staff was very helpful in creating me something I was able to eat using the blue corn tortilla and chicken.

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.

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!

My wife and I go here all the time and she has never gotten sick (she is a very sensitive celiac). She can have the chips and salsa, and the creamy jalapeño ranch. She orders the boom boom chicken enchiladas
