Server has a separate menu noting what items are “gluten friendly”. Of note, the rice and creamy cilantro dressing (served with chips and is a salad dressing) is not gluten free.

The staff was very helpful explaining what was gluten free. I went twice. The first time they said the chips were in a dedicated fryer but the second time, they said it was mixed. Seems like it changes from time to time. The corn tortillas are fine, so I had the chicken enchiladas without the queso on top (their queso contains flour). Instead, I added shredded cheese and extra tomatillo sauce. It was decent, but nothing special and there were so few gluten free options.
Almost everything on the menu contains gluten. Our server told us there is gluten containing seasoning in all of their meats. We were a group of 4, with 2 of us being gluten free. The only reason I gave them a 2 was because he was very gracious about our leaving after he had served us chips. We went to a different restaurant. I will not go back.
I was told they had a gluten free menu over the phone. When I arrived the gluten free menu consisted few items (8) mostly consisting of random vegetables. I would have rather they told me they just didn't have one. Will not be returning.
Has gluten free options. I order one enchilada with pulled chicken and boom boom (spicy queso) sauce, side salad with jalapeño ranch, and side of refried beans. Bring your own GF chips (theirs aren’t GF) or have them give you a couple corn tortillas to dip in free salsa for appetizer. Their queso isn’t GF but boom boom sauce is.
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!
