They now have a gluten free menu on the kiosk. The waitress was very helpful and assured that the cook would prepare my dish separately. However, my food came out on the same tray as everyone else's food. They are not very knowledgeable but safe when not busy. I did not get sick. Watch out for any of their corn chips or corn tortillas. They are not fried in a dedicated fryer.

Plenty of options available for adults and few for children

Our service was great, only complaint I have is I had a 9 year old child that has celiac disease and there was absolutely no gluten free desserts. My granddaughter was sad, and watched her my 12 year old granddaughter eat a dessert.

I had soup and salad. It was very delicious. They do a good job with cross contamination. Chips aren't gluten free, and neither is the dip. But very yummy, quite a few options.

Celiac friendly?

No

Was reassured multiple times that everything would be prepared gluten free. Still ended up seriously ill afterwards. Was likely cross contamination

The waitress tried really hard to help me find something I could eat. (Celiac) we found a chicken bowl with veggies. I told her I had Celias and couldn’t have any gluten or I would get very sick. Apparently the kitchen staff has no clue what that means as I got super sick the next morning. There must have been a sauce or something added that no one caught!

Gluten friendly menu. Staff is knowledgeable. Had the Mango-Chilli Chicken. Very good. A little spicy.

Celiac friendly?

No

All food prepared in the same area, gluten free menu is few and far between. Came in hungry, left sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have an entire gluten free menu online so I could check it all out as we drive there. They have all items that are gluten free listed and then items that are naturally gluten free but may have cross contamination marked with an asterisk. Our waitress was very helpful and made sure to let the cooks know. We had no problems. Great experience for a first time eating out since being diagnosed.

I was torn between 3 stars and 4, but decided to be generous! They first brought out my meal with bread on it - actually under the meat. They made it right though and apologized. The food was good and I had no reaction.

Celiac friendly?

No

I am allergic to wheat and I was having lunch with a group of friends. I researched the GF menu online and I found out that only a few Chili’s have a dedicated fryer. I selected a Chipotle Chicken Fresh Mex Bowl which has: Grilled chicken, pico, field greens, Mexican rice, corn & black bean salsa, avocado, shredded cheese, tortilla strips, cilantro, chipotle pesto, house-made ranch. It was listed on the GF menu and I clearly defined my allergy. I asked that they change gloves and carefully make my meal so that there’s no cross contamination. Unfortunately, they put the fried tortilla chips on top of my bowl. Everyone in our group of 9 had all received their meals sand were almost done by the time my meal arrived so I ended up having water for lunch.

The server was unaware of what gluten was (they thought it was just wheat) but also thought they could guess whether items were safe based on their own knowledge of it. They did look up on their allergy chart on the table tablet and it had conflicting info so they asked the kitchen, but in general I am concerned this chili tweaks their food (like adding flour to things that doesn't normal have flour) so it's not the same with other chains.

I love Chili's, particularly because they are one of the places that do gluten-free soup. I've had their loaded potato soup many times and never got sick before I had it here. It was also not very good at all and my friend did not like their non-gluten free meal either.

Comment

Our server was great, very friendly and attentive, but not well informed about gluten. The food was way below average Chili's quality. I still highly recommend Chili's but not this location.

Celiac friendly?

No

Although I ordered from the online Chili’s gluten free menu and notified my waitress that I have celiac disease, the SanteFe Grilled Chicken Salad was brought to me with a non-gf ingredient added to it that was not listed on the menu. The wait staff seemed at least I attentive if not uneducated regarding my specific dietary needs. The salad was not only contaminated but it was terribly wilted (but the flavor of the chicken was great!)... so NOT worth getting sick over! I won’t go back to this Chili’s 🙁

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was mediocre, brought me flour tortilla with my fajitas, other orders, casidia was dry, steak over done. Waitress was very nice and service was good. Food just sub-par for a chili's.

Celiac friendly?

No

I asked for gluten free, ordered off the gluten free menu and confirmed it was gluten free and was delivered a flour tortilla taco. They seem to cater to the gluten challenged but if they don’t train their staff better to deal with allergies then you cannot challenge it.

Order for 3 people was entirely wrong. 1 person got the wrong side, one got paper in her mayo, the appetizer was wrong and had to be remade, then mine. I told them I had celiac and needed corn tortillas. Luckily I asked the waitress to wait until I looked at the wraps. They gave me flour tortillas and had to change them out. Done. Do not come here PLEASE! One thing wrong, okay....4??? Not a chance.

Celiac friendly?

No

Yes, they have gluten free options on their horrible kiosks that you have to correlate to their menu, but their staff is clueless and has literally no clue about celiacs and cross-contamination. Let’s not reward them for simply having a few menu items that happen to not have gluten.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I get take out here all the time and never get sick. They have an awesome allergy menu. I always order the ribs and mashed potatoes. All of their barbecue sauces are gluten free and most of their sides, except the fried ones. Their chips and salsa are also amazing and gluten free, same with the guacamole. They also have good steaks that are gluten free. This is probably one of my favorite restaurants to go to that I don’t have to worry that I won’t be able to find something gluten free.

We have been very pleased with Chili's! Our celiac daughter has eaten there several times with no issues, and she is super sensitive. I only wish they had a dedicated fryer for the chips!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac! A lot of options! Great menu! Have only had one incident when they brought the wrong shells, but it was fixed right away. One of the best places to go!

Celiac friendly?

No

We get sick EVERY time we eat there. Never again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Every staff member is very educated on celiac and never fails to keep my order safe. A few staff members are even celiac themselves and are especially sure to keep everything safe because they can relate.

Came here while visiting family in the area. Although they had a gluten free menu which I ate from, I immediately felt sick after. I’m thinking it was due to cross contamination. Staff also didn’t seem knowledgeable, although very nice.

Celiac friendly?

No

No dedicated gluten free menu. I compared the GF menu from the app and ordered from there. I ordered a bunless mushroom swiss burger and steamed broccoli. Will update review after I eat.

Celiac friendly?

No

Asked for Gluten free options, waitress said only salad, couldn’t guarantee anything else

Ordered chicken fajitas off the gluten free menu. They brought out fajitas with a sauce on them. We questioned it and they apologized that the sauce did in fact have gluten in it. Took forever to get new ones. Would NOT recommend!

The staff was really helpful when I went :)

They offer more options than most restraunts that I have found for people that have Celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great options. Their GF menu is on their Ziosk at the table. Special tab on the app.

Love protein options here!

Celiac friendly?

No

We ate here tonight. I was assured that they could handle no cross contamination. Needless to say. I got sick before I got home. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I am only giving it one star because I have to.

Told the waitress I had celiac and she took great care of me. My dinner was awesome. I ordered off their gluten free menu. Great experience.

Staff was not accustomed to celiac clients, but they did discover they had a “gluten friendly” menu. After several conversations, was able to order a GF meal. Just be careful and specific if you eat here.

Nutritional info on the 'Ziosk' is helpful showing gluten items and cross contamination problems. I had the steak fajitas. Felt good afterwards.

I asked about the gluten free menu. I was showed the Kiosk with the menu. I thought I chose a "safe" meal. The way I felt the next day proved that they don't pay attention when preparing food for peopme with Celiac Disease.

Celiac friendly?

No

After informing my server of my gluten allergy, and her ‘checking with the kitchen’ to make sure it would be, and the guy who brought the food saying that yes it was gluten free. . . It was not. They tossed my grilled chicken in the same sauce as the breaded chicken and I didn’t realize until I had eaten almost all of it and found a large piece of breading in my chicken.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a really good experience here. I was starving, my flight was delayed, so I risked it. Crystal went above and beyond. I am very gluten sensitive as well as allergic to dairy. I sat there for quite a while afterwards waiting for my flight and had no problems with the food or service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Warning for the tortilla chips. they are not in a dedicated fryer. but all steaks and the margarita chicken salad is good.

Mostly burgers without buns, but the also have some grilled chicken with options of mango or margarita flavors.

Celiac friendly?

No

Host said they don’t have gluten free options.

I didn't go to this chillis but the usher told us there wasn't much FOR SURE gluten free options. So we headed over the califonia pizza kitchen instead where they had gluten free califlour crust instead. So I can't really rate it.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not celiac safe. They have a gluten friendly menu, but there are no precautions, no dedicated fryer or kitchen space. The gluten friendly menu is nothing more than the regular items that have no gluten ingredients. Ex: Hamburger without bun, Cesar salad no croutons, grilled chicken, ect... They readily admit that cross contamination is pretty much all but guaranteed. If you have celiac or are highly sensitive, do not go here.

I don’t typically eat at Chili’s because of so much cross contamination, but was traveling and needed something. Decided on baked potato soup and Caesar salad. Both listed gf on menu. Waiter asked if it was an allergy. He made sure to request they mix salad in a clean bowl and said he watched them make it himself to make sure it was right. 3 stars because of limited choices but felt the staff understood the need for no cross contamination.

5 stars because our waiter was OUTSTANDING! If you ever go there ask for Rob. Looks like he’s in his 20s, but he was amazing! He also has celiac and will tell you ALLL You need to know. I love their loaded potato soup, ribs, and mashed potatoes. ASK FOR ROB!!! Tell him there is a good review about him!

I've been there 3 times since being gluten free. The wait staff was knowledgeable each time. I didn't get sick and I enjoyed the meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have been here many times and not gotten sick. Lots of GF options, and so far the staff I have encountered have all been helpful and knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have eaten off the gluten free menu here several times and have never had a problem! They mark what may have cross contamination on their online gluten free menu and the servers are super nice about it and very knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

No

Potato soup was listed as GF and had no issues, but I ordered Caesar salad without croutons. Got the salad and found one in it. Sent it back explaining about cross contamination. They brought another. It also had traces of croutons. Was too afraid to send it back again.
