Chick-fil-A

We frequent here. Fries are cooked in a separate oil vat than everything else. If you tell them you have a gluten allergy they’ll flag your order and change gloves when preparing your food. They also have gf buns and do lettuce wraps.

Recently went gluten-free because gluten was causing me a lot of fatigue and joint pain. I was really devastated, but then saw Chick-fil-A has gluten-free buns. No place around here has this choice, and it really made me happy to find this instead of just the normal salad every place has. I often will have a cup of fruit, a side of fries, and a grilled chicken sandwich with the gluten-free bun. It is a nice treat to myself now and then!

I personally order through a delivery app, but I haven't encountered any cross-contamination personally. I am sure in person they would take even more consideration and acknowledgement into the risk if you asked them to, but personally, without being able to mention my reaction to gluten, I still have not had any issues.

Overall, I found the pricing to be a bit high, but it's worth it for a treat now as their food is good and, considering their limited selection as is, I would say they have a semi selection of stuff to enjoy, at least majorly in comparison to some other local places. Their grilled chicken, with a gluten-free bun or without, actually tastes really delicious, so I would recommend it!

This was my first fast food experience since going gf 4 years ago. Have been too scared to try. But, when you’re on vacation in a somewhat remote area, you don’t have a whole lot of choices. That said, I’m very glad I tried it! The staff was great and it was nice to be able to grab something quick like a normal human. Ordered the grilled chicken nuggets and fries, no reaction. Would recommend.

I love Chick Fil A's grilled chicken nuggets & waffle fries. Both gluten free!

Always so accommodating, this is the only place I trust in Cookeville for a safe meal. Grilled nuggets are gf and fries are in a dedicated fryer. If you tell them when you order that you need it allergy marked they will put a sticker on it.

The GF options are limited but it is great that they have an allergen list. The grilled chicken nuggets are great.

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! 🤷🏼‍♀
