Chuy’s does NOT have a gf menu. From information online, they marinate their meat in beer, so no meat is GF. They also cook everything in the same fryer if you are really sensitive. Pretty disappointing for Mexican food since most of the time it is GF.

Gluten “Sensitive” not free menu states “*not guaranteed*” in huge handwritten permanent marker. I asked a few questions and the staff wasn’t confident in gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

Terrible menu. Staff was not concerned at all.

Limited gluten free menu with minimal choices due to cross contamination. Good food though and great happy hour drinks.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very little for gf choices, especially anything with a meat component. Ended up with a cheese quesadilla . Server didn't really seem to care

Celiac friendly?

No

Really hard to avoid cross contamination at Chuy's. Their best dishes cannot be made GF.

Celiac friendly?

No

Wish I would have read the reviews before eating off the gluten free menu. I would not eat here if you are gluten sensitive or celiac. I have been sick for two days now food was amazing but not worth it.

Celiac friendly?

No

Chuy's is a great place. It's not only one of the best restaurant choices at Opry Mills. It has some of the best foods (not just for those who do not suffer with gluten intolerance). One big tip is to ask for the gluten/dairy free menu. Even more importantly ask for the manager.

Celiac friendly?

No

extremely limited menu. the chips and rice are off limits.

The best Chuy’s experience ever!! Managers are so accommodating and knowledgeable. They really care about their gluten free patrons and making sure we stay safe.

We were here a couple days ago. they were very honest and explained cross contamination is highly possible. All corn chips or corn tortillas are contaminated. I also have a soy allergy so their sauces are out. I got beans and pork and was 😫 sick. My server was good this was my bad

This establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free environment. But they do offer gluten-free options. Even though I am celiac, I still eat at restaurants like this. The manager Brian was very helpful when I ordered and explained to him my gluten intolerance. He made sure that my food was made correctly and brought to me by him with no issues! I had the bean, cheese, and shredded chicken nachos with a side of guacamole. It was very delicious and I didn’t have any issues afterwards.

Chuy’s is a go to for me in Texas and this was my first time trying it here. I know from previous experience. The chicken fajita meat NOT marinated is gluten-free. Usually I get the chicken enchiladas with deluxe tomatillo sauce but opted for the Mexi Cobb salad and some corn tortillas instead. I also brought my own chips and just asked for a basket and paper and a separate side of creamy jalapeño. Other times when I have forgotten the creamy jalapeño I have just asked for an order of corn tortillas to dip instead. if you’ve never been before you must get the creamy jalapeño it’s amazing. The manager personally walked back and cooked my chicken breast to ensure there was no cross contamination.

The manager and servers were really great about answering questions and reviewing ingredients in detail with me.

I’ve had my go-to “safe” dishes for a while, but when I wanted to try something new the manager pulled up a seat and broke down the whole menu for me.

A lot of their sauces & queso have a roux base, but these were what we reviewed as safe at this location:

Sauces: Deluxe tomatillo Tomatillo Ranchero Boom Boom

Proteins: Roasted Chicken Ground Beef

Sides: Corn Tortilla Rice Beans Tortilla Chips*

The tortilla soup and salad are what I’ve gotten historically with no issue. I did find out many of their proteins are marinated in shiner and that they can’t guarantee gluten free due to the potential for cross contamination on the cook surfaces.

But, I happily ordered ground beef enchiladas with ranchero sauce with no issue!

* I was told at another location that they wheat dust their chips. They don’t do this at the Norman location. Guac/Salsa were great to enjoy without my own GF bag of chips 😂
