Offers gluten free bun, grilled chicken, fries and beverages. (Fries fried in canola oil in a septate fryer than other products_ their breaded items are fried in another fryer with peanut oil).

They are super busy which leaves little time for extra attention and or care so celiac beware but I have eaten there before and have been fine and also have had minor reactions, I'd say it's split 50/50. Not GF but offers gluten friendly options.

First time going to a Chick-fil-A since being diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity several weeks ago. I’ve been eating gluten-free since I found out and did my research prior to deciding to come here. In my research I found that Chick-Fil-A has gluten-free fries, one of the main reasons I decided to give it a try. Only to be told by the manager that only the buns are gluten-free. It’s super frustrating when even the manager isn’t aware of what is or isn’t gluten-free.

I just learned that I have A gluten sensitivity, so I called several places. The manager of this Chickfila told me that she cannot guarantee their food is not cross contaminated. Yes, the fries have their own fryer, but the same tools are used to clean all the fryers. Plus, the grill where they cook all their meat is very close to the flour breading station. What a disappointment! I was really hoping chickfila would be Celiac friendly.

Most all of their chicken being breaded, I decided to try their market salad. I had pretty low expectations but it was pretty good. The downside being that sometimes they sell out of them and it's kind of over-priced. Other than that, pretty good.

This restaurant is always busy and always clean. We like the dedicated fryer for the fries, and the salads are always good with the grilled chicken, but sometimes I grow weary of salads. Sometimes I want hot food. . .

I heard that they are celiac-friendly and wanted a quick bite on the go. This was the first time I'd gone since my diagnosis, so I went in because I was nervous about making sure it was safe for me to have it. The person who took my order had limited knowledge, maybe a recent hire. I was glad it was not very busy, and the manager took the opportunity to explain to both of us the process. Not only they have a few gf items marked on the menu, but if you tell them you have an allergy, they make sure to alert the staff, so they clean the area, utensils and change gloves before preparing the meal. They have a separate fryer for the fries, too.

They have a separate fryer at this location for their French fries, so they are celiac-safe! Tons of great GF options for fast food. When I mentioned celiac to the person taking my order she offered to relay the message and have them change gloves! Overall was treated with kindness about my allergy (which is rare in fast food) and happy to return

5-6-24 found out the grilled chicken as YEAST EXTRACT FOR THISE THAT ARE SENSITIVE TO IT!!!!

Fries and tots are designated friers…

Went to grab dinner. Ordered one meal then said, “now this order is GLUTEN FREE DUE TO ALLERGIES” gave her my order and when I pulled to window they told me, “we wiped the counter and changed gloves before prepping your gluten free meal!” Even though they’re always busy- it’s worth the wait knowing they take it seriously!

Here is how I order here, because with so many people and a new one each time it can be confusing but they have great protocols if you are assertive and patient. I order my food separately from my family’s (because they prefer to eat gluten here). This avoids any risk of cross contamination and one time when I specified gluten free they gave the kids grilled nuggets instead of fried. Since I have begun ordering this way I haven’t had an issue. I usually order my family’s on the app for pickup inside and then mine I order at the counter or drive thru only. I say “gluten allergy” (there is a button but sometimes they will just write it in and to change gloves), and then after they hand me my food I ask again “this is for a gluten allergy, did they change their gloves?” They usually go ask to make sure and say yes. It always takes a bit longer to get my food but I smile and am grateful and patient.

I order the grilled sandwich on a gluten free bun (comes separately and you have to put it together) and fries.
