They had a gluten free menu but it was a little confusing, food was good and I didn’t get sick!
The managers and staff prefer to come to the table to give options for GF menu items and make it more personal rather than offer a preprinted menu. The enchiladas are made fresh everyday and are gluten free. If there's a possibility of cross contaminating they will clean off the kamal to prepare your corn Tortillas special for you. The Chips are complementary and are completely Gluten free along with their Creamy jalapeño dip!
Basically nothing at any Chuy’s is gluten free. Even their tortilla chips are fried in a shared fryer. They marinate all their meat in beer. If you have celiac, best steer clear.

The staff did not even try to help me find something gluten free. We ended up leaving the restaurant. Very disappointed because so many locals suggested we eat there. The queso isn’t even gluten free!!! What kind of Satan’s den is that?!?

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.
