gluten free menu but no meat options. chips are not gluten free (shared fryer). meal was good but feeling not too great the next morning. might’ve had some cross contamination. probably won’t revisit
We had the best experience with the bartender!! (Sadly can’t remember her name) She was so knowledgeable about gluten free options and what was made with what. They even made me a new batch of steak because their original recipe is made with beer. She was so accommodating and made sure I had the best experience. Would 100% go back for her alone.
I ordered a salad with lettuce, carrots and avocado only. The cilantro dressing seemed a weird color in pink but I didn’t question it. I was told the chips were gluten-free so I had some. All night, my stomach hurt and was messed up. Don’t know where the cross-contamination happened but it was miserable for me. Keep in mind, though I didn’t order meat, their meats are apparently marinated in beer which makes them not gluten-free. Just a heads up and I will say the gf menu did say “not guaranteed gf” at the top. I should’ve trusted my gut. No pun intended. Bottom line… their menu was not gluten-free but more like gluten-friendly. They tried.

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.
