ordered myself grilled chicken bites and I DID NOT get sick afterwards. told staff about having celiac/severe gluten intolerance and they were able to identify and reassure me it would be safe from CC. came in a separate bag from my friends order. definitely one of the safer fast food options, just make sure to do your due diligence.
Update: 8/2021
Can't thank the staff enough for making sure my food is gluten free. This is the only fast food restaurant that I trust with my Celiac.
I had the waffle fries and the chicken sandwich the bun was really good. The person taking my order was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and celiac.
Update 11/23/19: We go here about twice a month and the people are great and always reassure us that our food will be gluten free.
Update 5/01/20: Amazing service and they are doing their part to make sure our order is gluten free. So nice to have gluten free takeout especially during this difficult time.
Chick-fil-A offers gluten free grilled chicken nuggets and many locations have dedicated fryers for fries. Check with your location if cross-contamination is a concern for you.
Chick Fil A is usually really good about gluten free. There are a decent number of options, including grilled chicken, gluten free buns, and fries. As an ex employee, I would steer clear of any ice cream item except for maybe a cup of ice cream, as cross contact would be an issue for milkshakes or anything that’s mixed. A couple of times, the employee seems unsure how to input the allergy. Another time I was served breaded chicken by mistake. These are easily corrected and wouldn’t make me stop coming here, but some extra diligence is a good idea.
I always stop by here when I’m in DFW. Didn’t see the review below before I came but I did ask the employee if the fries were fried separately and explained that I had celiac and she said the fries were fried separately and marked gluten allergy on the order. Had grilled nuggets, fries, and a milkshake. Usually I get the grilled chicken club w/ a gf bun which is good too. Solid option in a pinch.
Three members of our family are extremely sensitive and had no problems after eating here. We confirmed that the fries are prepared in a dedicated fryer. We all ordered the grilled nuggets and were very happy to have a hot meal with no reaction. The food was tasty and the Chick-fil-A sauce is gluten free as well.
