They have a good variety of tasty options for non-celiacs, which weren't available to me. However, I told the manager of my issues and she was very clear on what was safe for me and made an appropriate adaptation. Only problem it was just chicken with salt and pepper with corn tortillas. A for care and awareness but D for available options for celiacs.
This is one of my favorite restaurants but it is absolutely NOT celiac friendly. I don’t have severe immediate reactions from cross contamination, but I was more sick after eating here than any other restaurant since my diagnosis. It was upsetting because I really love Chuy’s.
The manager came over and listed which items were safe, but did warn me that they don’t guarantee. I’ve heard that in other restaurants and didn’t have a problem since I don’t have a severe allergy, but I got violently ill. I only get that sick when there is a lot of gluten in what I ate. Beware.

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.
Not the best place for gluten free. But Ill attach a menu that the Chuys corporate sent to me
