Arrived on a very large flight, and it seemed like half of us ended up at this location. This meant the staff were swamped, and quite slow. I had to repeat several times that I wanted a gluten free bun on my grilled chicken sandwich, and it took a few back-and-for the to get it through. When I received my order, I got a crispy chicken sandwich (on regular bun). After trekking back, they replaced my order. After all the hassle, I ended up sick just in time for my next flight. I would avoid if the location is very busy, since I think this led them to be rushed, error-prone, and ultimately unsafe.

Didn't know what gluten was, recommended products that contained wheat, couldn't answer questions about shared fryers, and even after choosing foods that should have been gluten free, I got sick.

Probably a 3 star place but 4 because I've never gotten sick with a celiac reaction & they know how to separate allergens. Just about all their sauces are gluten free, breakfast platters minus the biscuits (but they'll sub taters which are ok), fries that have nothing else in the fryer with them, and grilled chicken nuggets that are actually seasoned really well!

Love! My daughter says the gf bun is delicious. They use a separate fryer for fries. This is our top visited food spot. My daughter gets the gf bun, grilled chicken fillet, honey bbq sauce and fries. Makes my girl happy. Also, we love the ice cream here!

All of their grilled chicken is gluten free and they change gloves and make things fresh when you have an allergy. All of the staff knows what they are doing and I have never gotten sick when I have gone!

I've tried Chick-fil-A only twice. I ordered through the drive-thru. The staff was kind. I made sure to order foods that were gluten-free. Unfortunately, I found the food lacked taste and flavor. So I don't go there.

I had another incident with Chick-fil-A. It happened when the workplace ordered food. I have a high sensitivity to gluten. I don't have to consume to get sick but smell. Unfortunately, it made me feel unwell.

Standard chic fil a, but as of my visit today, they do not have a separate fryer, so the waffle fries are not gluten free like they normally are.
