Chick-fil-A

Do not eat chickfila if you have celiacs. The grilled chicken nuggets are not gluten free. Don't make the mistake that I did. Ate the grilled chicken nuggets and broke out in hives that would not go away. I had to see my doctor to get medication to get my hives to go away.

Their grilled chicken nuggets are really good and a great quick grab for gf food on the go. Their waffle fries concerned me at first seeing as how fryer contamination is a huge issue for me. I have spoken with the managers at several locations and they assured me that the fries are not fried with the breaded chicken. Their website confirms this claim as well, "Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries®: (cooked in separate fryers from the chicken)." I have yet to have any reactions to their fries even though I order them sparingly as I don't want to be sick for a couple of days but so far every time they have been ok.

I also greatly enjoy their chicken and fruit salad. The granola comes in a separate individual packet so there isn't any contamination issues. I just toss it out and enjoy the salad without feeling like I'm losing any essential flavors to make the meal taste complete.

I rarely eat fast food (gf free concerns as well as I don't normally eat "junk" food) but if I have little to no other options Chick-fil-a has been a tested and true gf option when I need it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff warned against ordering even the grilled chicken and waffle fries because of cross-contamination. They offered me potato chips - LOL! 🤷🏼‍♀

GF Buns, grilled chicken and fries and milk shakes. This is our go to for fast food. The staff is pretty knowledgeable. Just tell them it's for someone with Celiac. They will put an allergy note and ask for a glove change.

The fries are always safe! I frequent this CFA and you should ask for them to change gloves just in case. I’m never confident about their sauces (Polynesian, CFA sauce) but I eat them anyway bc I like them. I do feel slightly off when doing so but I just don’t know.

Grilled chicken and nuggets are safe. Drinks are safe. Ask for their gluten free bun. It always comes in plastic, separate from everything else so it’s 100% safe to eat at least the bun!
