Blue Sky Texas is not wheat allergy or celiac friendly. My husband called ahead to ask about a dedicated fryer which they said they have. Which ended up not being true. I had chunks of fried chicken nuggets in my french fries. He also inquired about all the ingredients in the hamburgers which they told him was 100% beef. My family of five has a combination of wheat allergies and celiac disease. We ended up having to leave before my children were finished eating because my throat, tongue and lips were swelling. I administered the first step of emergency epinephrine in the restaurant but it didn’t appear to be working as quickly as I needed it to. In the parking lot my 8 year old son became itchy everywhere and began to have a hard time breathing and my 2 year old hands swelled to abnormal size, along with her having hives on her face and neck. After 3 hours we were finally able to get everyone’s allergic reactions to settle down but now 4 of the 5 of us will be miserable for the next 3 to 7 days while our bodies literally attack themselves because we also have celiac disease. If you have allergies or celiac disease don’t eat here.
My daughter has celiac. She had the gluten free bun and fries with no reaction. They were knowledgeable and asked if she wanted them to change gloves. Very pleased.
The gluten free bun was great! Fries are made in a GF fryer too. I didn't ask about anything thing else. I let them know it was an allergy and didn't have any negative reaction. I will probably come back here every time I visit Lubbock.

So I came here when I was in town visiting family based on the amazing reviews but beware. They acted like it would be fine and they knew what they were doing. I told the register I had an allergy and they noted it on the order. I got to the bottom of my fries to find chunks of chicken strip breading. We showed the manager and he confirmed that's what it is. He refunded our meal and apologized but I'll never be back. They can't be trusted.
Blue Sky has excellent burgers and they offer gluten free buns, but you can always do what I prefer and do lettuce instead of the bun!
Ate at Blue Sky tonight. Just traveling through Amarillo. They have gluten free menus items marked on the menu. Once I told the guy taking my order that I had food allergies and what they were he informed me that they changed their gloves and handled my order carefully. I had a hamburger patty with bacon, guacamole, and grilled onions. It was delicious. And so were the hand cut fries. They have gluten free buns but I typically don’t order them. The hamburger patty actually had flavor! I am not celiac. But with a wheat/gluten, dairy and egg allergy.
GF menu at counter. Flavored teas are made with tea bags, not powder.
Full Gluten Free Menu and 4 dedicated fryers for fries and tots. I called in advance and had them email me the gluten free menu and they did. You have to ask for it at the register and she marks your order GF so rhey change gloves. Good food and experience.
