I have never gotten sick at any of the 3 Chick-Fil-As in our area. They do afantastic job of not contaminating my grilled chicken, salads, and drinks.

We went through the drive through to try to get breakfast for my celiac daughter on our recent road trip. I asked if the hash browns were gluten free. I was told NO, nothing was gluten free except the gluten free bun. I was told that everything is put in the same oil. We were in the drive through and then had to stay in the line while we waited our turn. I'm not sure if it was an overly cautious employee or the store doesn't have a dedicated fryer. Ended up getting GF brownie from Dunkin down the road instead. Which, though not ideal to eat for breakfast... we were almost home and it had to be quick.

They have the bun now. Buns come out wrapped with your sandwich in the regular box. They don't come out warm. But they are still good.

Not gf friendly. I asked was told yes then found out they were not. Then refunded me 6.00 for two not gf chicken so I was ripped off also. I find it crazy you cannot find someone to keep a dedicated fryer. In my neighbor chick fil A we have dedicated dryers and fast service. Sad in today's gf options they are way behind at this one.

Love this Chick-fil-A location. I have no problems with my allergies, they are so careful to prepare my food with care!

For Gluten free try a salad and just use lemon for a dressing. Or the grilled chicken nuggets. See ingredients: Grilled chicken (whole breast filet, seasoning [water, apple cider vinegar, soybean oil, yeast extract, salt, modified corn starch, palm oil, dehydrated garlic, dehydrated onion, corn maltodextrin, sea salt, flavor, sugar, chicken stock, cane molasses, chicken fat, spice, natural flavor {including smoke}, dextrose, lemon peel, citric acid, red bell pepper, orange juice concentrate, grape juice concentrate, natural flavor, paprika, vinegar, xanthan gum, ascorbic acid, and spices]).

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! 🤷🏼‍♀
