We had a grilled sandwhich on a gf bun. We also had grilled chicken nuggets. Cashier was eager to flag it as an allergy and really helpful. Didn’t get sick at all (my husband is super sensitive to cross contamination).

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.

While the staff says they maintain a dedicated fryer, they are not very understanding of GF. The grilled chicken and nuggets come in plain and are marinaded in a marinade that contains gluten. At most locations the kitchen staff leaves some chicken without the marinade to be used when a customer cannot have gluten. However at this location they decide to marinade it all at once, thus making the chicken unsafe for Celiacs. It frustrates me because I have been to many locations around the country that very easily accommodate this. Whats the point of a gluten free bun if my chicken won’t be gluten free too?

This location not very familiar with Gluten Free. I had to ask the Manager and he offered to print me out the nutrition list and I could verify glutens myself. After I mentioned a gf bun online he said “oh ya we’ve got those”. Has grilled chicken sandwich or grilled nuggets. No dedicated fryer. But does carry gluten free waffle chips.

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!
