Chick-fil-A

I’ve been here probably 6-7 times without any issue and was excited to find a fast food that worked well for gluten free.

However today I found a piece of bun/bread in my grilled nuggets. The manager claimed it was impossible as the grilled nuggets are prepared so far away in the kitchen from their bread items. However, some of my pieces of chicken looked like they had cut up a grilled chicken patty that would be on a sandwich.

I have no idea how it would get in there… I always flag my order with a wheat allergy. I would just exercise caution if you go to this location. (Have had zero problems with the fries, they are fried separately)

Ordered a Grilled Chicken sandwich meal with a GF bun. The lady taking my order asked if it was for an allergy, and after saying yes told me that they would make sure to change their gloves. Bun came individually wrapped to minimize cross contamination. Overall great experience. Fries are even labeled as GF on their menu.

Is this the Fort Union location? This seems to be the closest one, but the address is different? Anyway, this review is for the Fort Union branch. I’m celiac, and I’ve had great luck at every Chick-fil-A I’ve tried till now. I stick to the Market Salad (sans granola and nut toppings), waffle fries, and frosted lemonade, and I always start my order by asking them to flag my food for a gluten allergy. Well, I just got halfway through my fries and found three chunks of breaded chicken right in the middle of the carton. So now all I can do is pray.

I was at the Fort Union Chick-fil-a, but that doesn't seem to be in this system. It took 5 employees including the manager to try to figure out how to charge me for a gf bun, and they never did figure it out, just charged me for regular. Three people asked me if I "really needed" gluten free. I guess I could have just gotten no bun but at that point, might as well grill my own chicken. I definitely had a reaction, but I'm not sure if it was the grilled chicken sandwich or maybe just that their fries weren't actually in a dedicated fryer like they said. Would not recommend. Try Cubby's instead - it's really close and has great gf salads.

Not friendly to celiacs and people

Celiac friendly?

No

Love this location! They take good care of me and my husband every time we come - rush or deserted, dine in or drive through. I love that ALL their fries have a dedicated fry fryer. We tend to get the grilled nuggets and side salad, then make our own chicken salad. But they also have GF buns that come in plastic wrapping (not syran wrap, and actual package) for the grilled chicken sandwich. Some of their shakes are GF, including the seasonal peppermint (but check each year in case that changes!).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They offer GF buns!!!!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free nuggets are just OKAY. More like cut up pieces of chicken breast. What is nice is thier waffle fries are cooked in a different dryer than thier breaded items.

Chick-fil-A is always safe and always good :)

My family, 4 out of 6 have celiac, has been eating here since 2022 with no issues. “Chicky” (as we called it) tends to be a safe option for our family across the nation after we ask a few questions. For this location, the grilled chicken comes in a cup (kids meal) and they have gluten free buns with grilled chicken for any sandwiches and a dedicated gluten free fryer for the fries. If you specify allergy at this location they will take some extra precautions to mitigate cross contamination.

Chick-fil-A is always the best place for GF fast food! Fries are in a dedicated frier, grilled nuggets, salads, milkshakes/ice cream, and GF buns for a grilled sandwich. Hashbrowns are GF for breakfast

Sept 27, 2024- Ate my CFA 'regular' grilled chicken sandwich with a kale salad. Taste was as expected at CFA and I did not have any gluten-related cross-contamination issues. As always, keep in mind that the sriracha sauce has wheat in it. AVOID.
