Review


I was diagnosed with celiac 10 years ago. I have never eaten at a Chili’s restaurant before, this was to be the first time. Appeared to be a safe choice based on the reviews in “Find me GF”. My wife and I walked in and were greeted by the hostess. As the hostess was grabbing the menus to seat us, I asked for a gluten-free menu. Her response was, “A what?”. I repeated my request for a gluten-free menu, she said “I don’t know anything about that, you’ll have to ask somebody else”. She sat us in a booth and said our server it would be right with us. Looking over the menu I saw nothing on it that indicated whether anything was gluten-free or not. My wife is also looking over the menu with the same puzzled look on her face that I had. I grab my phone and went to the Chilies website to review their GF menu. There they listed gluten-free options like baby back ribs without any sides, a hamburger without a bun... They also mentioned that the kitchen was not gluten-free, the grill and the fryers were shared with items that were not gluten-free. This was not a safe restaurant for somebody with celiac disease. So after my wife and I were sitting there for five minutes with no sign of a server, I decided to bail and we left the restaurant.

They have a great GF menu! I've eaten here about six times from this menu and have never once felt ill after. The southwestern chicken soup is the BEST gf soup I've had. In fact I go there and purchase bowls of it to keep at home! I'm not a burger person but their burgers are delicious! This is probably f my #1 choice to eat at for GF friendly restaurants!

Chili’s online menu lists their gluten free options but the options are mostly burgers without buns…

I'm a newly diagnosed celiac, and this was my first time eating out. I selected Chili's because it has a gluten free menu available online. I was pleasantly surprised at how much they offered. They also clearly indicated which items were cooked on surfaces where food could come into contact with gluten, and they even included which salad dressings were gluten free. We sat at the bar. When I asked the bar tender if their margaritas were gluten free, he knew what I was talking about. He didn't know for sure but thought the sweet and sour mix might have gluten. He was very patient as I figured out my order, and made a note for the cook to be careful. I felt safe eating the ribs, but it's so early in my diagnosis, I'm not sure if I would have symptoms if cross contaminated. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because they don't provide information on their drinks.

Update January 2022: I ordered take out steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli. No symptoms! And I have become extremely sensitive to gluten and know when I've been glutened. Also, heard back from corporate, and their presidente margaritas are gluten free! I'll be checking those out soon and will update if my experience says otherwise.

Update September 2022: I have eaten here at least 7-8 times now and have had a positive experience every time, including several times with takeout. I generally get the ribs or steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli or a salad. Still never been glutened.

So I have Lupus and I’ve developed a new problem… Gluten! I didn’t have time to cook yesterday so we tried Chili’s. I looked up the GF menu. Easy and printable! I ordered the Guiltless Margarita Chicken with a side salad, Citrus Balsamic Vinaigrette. So good! I did eat some chips (I couldn’t help myself) which probably explains why my skin is all itchy today. I give Chili’s a 👍🏻
