Chuy's

We went as a family tonight. 2 of our kids are celiac. The manager came out and walked through the entire menu with us. She was so wonderful and helpful! Not a ton of options but enough to make it worth it.

If you tell them you have an allergy, they will send a manager out and explain in detail what is safe. The manager will also bring out your food. They are amazing and so friendly about everything.

I usually get the southwest enchilada with boom boom and plain roasted chicken (the other chicken is marinated with gluten) and I’ve never been sick!!

Everybody was so kind and helpful. The manager came out and talked to me about the menu. He made my nachos himself to make sure everything was safe. They have a dedicated fryer for chips.

I informed the server that I had an allergy (I know it’s not an allergy but it’s easier to explain that way) and asked if I could speak to a manager. A manager came out and spoke with me almost right away. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and told me how things were cooked and what to avoid. He really put my mind at ease. Would definitely go back.

If you call or dine in and mention “allergy” the staff are trained to immediately get a manager.

For celiacs and wheat allergy the manager told me this:

The chips are GF because they are fried in a separate fryer, all other fried menu options are not GF.

The beans and rice are GF.

All beef and some chicken is marinated with gluten.

The veggie mix is GF.

Oven roasted chicken and grilled shrimp are the only GF proteins.

Boom-boom and tomatillo sauce are the only GF sauces.

Anything that can be made with a corn tortilla that isn’t fried can be prepared GF, so basically just the enchiladas and tacos.

Fantastic experience at Chuy’s. The manager and majority of the staff were very knowledgeable on what items are gluten free items! Their chips are made in a dedicated fryer. And corn tortillas are gluten free. Staff was so kind to let me know all the gluten free sauces that were options. Their fajita meat is not gluten free. I had the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom enchiladas and they were delicious. No cross contamination and I feel great after my meal. I’m making Chuy’s my permanent Mexican food spot in OKC!

Even though they have a GF menu, they will not guarantee it will actually be GF. All their meat proteins have gluten - from the marinade. The chips are not GF either. Very disappointing.

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!

A classic Tex Mex chain so you can expect the quality to be subpar. The manager was very accommodating and confirmed they had a dedicated fryer for only corn. However, they did have to check on a lot with the previous manager to ensure GF items. I got the chicken flautas with roasted chicken. While my typical reaction of ataxia did not kick in, I did leave feeling somewhat symptomatic: light headed, hot/cold flashes, weak on my feet etc. I think I may have been exposed in some capacity.

Be aware: marinated meat is cooked in beer, queso has gluten, Mexican rice is fried in gluten fryer, and chips are cross contaminated.

If you have celiac DONT DO IT! Let me be a cautionary tale to those with any kind of gluten sensitivity. I have celiac and am currently in the worst pain of my life from eating here.
