Fries at CFA locations are cooked in FRY FRIERS. They use canola oil for their fries and peanut oil for their fried chickens, so they ARE NOT cross contaminated in the friers. You can most likely get grilled chicken nuggets, (I get honey mustard), fries and a drink. A full meal. CFA is always my first choice for a safe meal.(I’m gluten, dairy, egg, and peanut free.)

As much as I want to say I love Chick Fil A, I’m always a little disappointed. Really, the only thing safe to eat there are the grilled nuggets and the GF bun. I have tried ordering a grilled fillet, but I received a breaded. Luckily, someone else in my house could eat it. You can order the chips from here which are gluten-free, the fruit is okay, and I’m not sure about the salads. Most of the sauces are supposed to be okay. Honestly, it’s not my first choice but it’s not my last choice. Please note that the fries are not in a dedicated fryer and will make you sick if you are sensitive to cross contamination. I also would t recommend any milkshakes since they use Oreos in one and that could also cause cross contamination. I haven’t tried personally, but I try to avoid it in general. It makes me sad that they don’t have that many options.

The staff is knowledable, red flags my order and takes kitchen procedures seriously. I have found that I must order separately from my party, dine in or take out, to prevent cc.

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.
