I loved this place before Celiac diagnosis. I was told they marinate meat in beer. Not gf friendly! I brought my own chips and had guac. and hot sauce.
The GM was extremely knowledgeable about the processes and cross contamination! Chips at this location are celiac safe, boom boom sauce, and jalapeno ranch as well!
Super poor GF menu choice although they do have a GF menu. No meat options. No chips. My son was served his Gf quesadilla on corn tortillas on top of fries despite being told no fries. They remade it but definitely wouldn’t ever come back or recommend this restaurant for GF or celiacs.

Only gluten free options are oven roasted chicken and possibly a salad. All items are cooked on the same grill and in same oil or prepared on same surfaces, definitely cross contamination.. Waitress was not knowledgeable but manager was but tried to convince our table that sometimes cross contamination can be an issue but in most cases not..
No meat at all on gf menu. I ended up eating an appetizer of guacamole and a small side salad for dinner. Left there starving. Will not be back
I always get fajitas! If you tell them you need gluten free they will make you corn tortillas separate from other flours!
I love Chuy's. But if you're Celiac or Gluten sensitive, you might as well not even try. They don't take any special precautions and most of their food does not have GF option.
No meat on the gf menu. Very few choices. Can't even eat their chips.
Very good. Has a good selection too. They are very cautious about it too. Really make sure that your food is right and gluten free.

My husband and I had a great date at Chuy's. They were celiac-friendly and the server double-checked to make sure that the ingredients in my dish were gluten-free. She also let me know that the chefs did not change their gloves between prepping GF dishes so there could be cross-contamination. I usually have a negative response within 5-10 minutes of consuming gluten and I did not have a bad reaction at all after eating this meal. I'll definitely visit Chuy's again!
I was nervous to eat here because I’d seen the reviews that they aren’t gluten friendly, but I was invited to go for a friend’s bday dinner and decided to try it. I called ahead of time and they were able to give me a list of things that were safe: the rice, beans, and any enchilada dish that doesn’t have marinated meat.
When I arrived, I let our waiter know about my allergy and my concerns, and he was extremely helpful and willing to double check with the chefs. I ordered chicken enchiladas and had no reaction. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the positive experience.
Queso is not gluten free! Every time I have gone and had enchiladas, I have had problems. Way too risky to return to.
Fryers are not celiac safe. The staff was very helpful and the manager came out to speak to me about the fryers. Lots on the menu (chicken dishes) can be made GF no issue. The jalapeño dip is GF and bring your own chips or ask for a side!
I haven't been here in years due to lack of gf/DF items. So glad to have come back! Manager came to table and developed a gf/DF enchiladas plate( no cheese). Not cross contaminated very delicious. Did come at 3 pm during the week. Would come during off peak hours.
