Not the best place for gluten free. But Ill attach a menu that the Chuys corporate sent to me
Separate GF menu. I had enchiladas on corn tortillas with one of the safe sauces plus a crunchy taco. It was delicious and staff was knowledgeable.
They fry their chips in the same fryer as everything else. So they aren’t safe. Their chicken and steak is marinated in beer. It’s not safe. I ordered non marinated chicken tacos after I was told it’s an option on corn tortillas. They came out on flour. When we sent them back and asked for it to be redone fresh bc I will get sick from the meat being in the flour, my husband watched the cook just switch it over. The kitchen manager fixed it and apologized but if you have severe allergies just skip this place.

The food sucks here. I got the chicken enchiladas or whatever they are called and it was terrible.
Unfortunately Chuy's is no longer safe. I was informed on Saturday that they now marinate their fajitas meat in beer. Also the corn tortillas are cooked on the same surface as flour tortillas.
The food tastes wonderful, so my family loves going, but I always get sick. Like, seriously sick. Last time I had to eat here, I ended up laying in bed for a day or two in pain.
I spoke with the manager about being celiac and he personally made me a deluxe chicken enchilada to ensure no cross contamination. The menu is not marked, but JUST ASK the right questions! Manager was awesome.
Only one gluten free option... cheese enchilada (check on sauces) and rice. chips not gluten free.
I went to the Barton Springs location. Aside from overall terrible service, they had NO gluten free menu, or icons on their menu. The server said “they did away with it” and could not tell me if the chips were gluten free and had no clue. A manager-ish person came to speak to me after everyone else ordered and I ordered... my food came at least 15 minutes before everyone else’s. Not a good experience. Living in Austin, I have a MILLION much better and truly safe places to eat this type of cuisine, which is typically all gluten free other than flour tortillas. Come on Chuy’s - step up your gluten free game!!!!!!
This restaurant is not Celiac friendly at all. Don’t go there.
Nothing is gluten free except the dinner salad. The corn and flour tortillas are hand made in the same area and have cross contamination. The chicken is marinated in beer. The chips are fried in the same oil as flour products.
Only option is salad with roasted chicken. There are no gf chips, tortillas, or basically anything I was told.
Very limited menu for foods but the drinks are great. I usually get a salad without meat since everything is cooked around gluten and they make their corn and flour tortillas with the same equipment.
Our waiter, Jerson, was phenomenal at checking on every item on the menu I asked for. So sweet for a staff member at a restaurant to take that much time out of his day!
Dear celiac's friends please be careful at Chuy's. food tasted incredible but not feeling so great today. please check with your server. Might want to just stick with the margaritas
Amazing food and they're always helpful when I have questions about items being converted on the menu
When i asked the server if they have a gluten free menu she informed me they do not. BUT the server was gluten free and eats here often! She told me everything is gluten free besides the queso and flour tortillas (obviously) and any of the dishes can have corn tortillas substituted for flour. She also said they are as careful as possible to make sure there is no cross-contamination. Love the food here and happy i can still eat basically everything.

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.
They had a gluten free menu but it was a little confusing, food was good and I didn’t get sick!
