Have enjoyed coming here for many many years. One thing to check is the sauce that comes with the fries as it is often a malted mayo. Even when I specify GF, malted mayo sometimes still comes so I just skip that sauce. Portions are BIG.
They accidentally brought a glutinous sauce with my fries. I ate a little and didn’t find out until after. Was very clear with order but the kitchen still messed it up. Tread with caution.
This chicken was DELICIOUS and the bun was the softest I've had in years! Their procedures made me feel really safe, too.

I've eaten here several times and the staff has always been super knowledgable, the food delicious, and I've never had a reaction. (I'm celiac and pretty sensitive to CC).
They accidentally brought me a gluten bun the first time, but luckily I recognized it and was able to get the sandwich swapped for a fresh gluten free one. Sandwich was delicious and I felt fine afterwards, but I am a bit hesitant to return
Good chicken. Separate fryer. Staff was knowledgeable about GF and celiac. They also have GF beer.
I was cross-contaminated on my last trip here. I ordered GF friend chicken, fries, and coleslaw. The staff is nice and warned me that they didn’t have confidence that something was not cross-contaminated in their kitchen since there’s so many moving pieces. Perhaps the CC was due to some recent gluten-unfriendly changes (potato wedges are now gluten containing, although they said fries are still GF).
I’ve also eaten here once where I didn’t experience CC. As a symptomatic celiac I don’t like to take risks, so unfortunately it’s unlikely I’ll eat here again.
I would still recommend this location to gluten intolerant folks and folks without celiac, the GF fried chicken is quite tasty.
Always tasty and reasonably affordable. Never have felt sick after. Gluten free bun is insanely tasty.
I love the gluten free fried chicken sandwich soooooooo much! All of their potato options are so good! Chips, fries, & wedges are all really yummy! Portions are huge & their habanero sauce is magical on the sandwich!

Thank you, Rhonda! We're thrilled to hear that you're a fan.
They have a tasty GF sandwich. However, have digestion issues after eating it (though it this just due to low quality ingredients.)

Hi Leila. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry we were slow to respond to this, and very sorry to hear that you had a negative experience dining with us. We pride ourselves on using the highest quality ingredients. All of our chicken is organic, free-range, and raised without added hormones. Our gluten-free bread is sourced locally from Mariposa Bakery in Oakland. We'd love to get a few more details about your visit. When you have a moment, please email us at [email protected] so we can continue our conversation. Thank you!
Delicious and very considerate of avoiding contamination. Highly recommend!

Thanks, Mercedes!
Cashier was knowledgeable and quickly able to answer questions. Fries are made in the GF fryer. Boyfriend compared my GF fried chicken to his regular fried chicken and was clearly able to tell the difference (peace of mind!) and said mine were more moist (positive!). They had a sticker to mark mine was GF, and wrote celiac on the box. Only just finished my food, but feeling optimistic.
10/10 this place is amazing! The staff did an awesome job communicating how to order for gluten free and wrote allergy on the tab. I didn’t even feel like a burden to get accommodations which ALWAYS improves the service quality.
Now for the important part. The food was AMAZING we got the fried chicken entree which came with 3 pieces of chicken (one drum stick and 2 thighs), fries (have a separate fryer) as an alternative to the biscuits, and a tomato cucumber salad (which I personally didn’t like, but it wasn’t a big deal). I also got the wings which were really good. They did mention the barbecue sauce has gluten so they suggested the buffalo wings.
Overall it was a tasty, good experience! Definitely am going to come back here next time I’m in the area and I’m thankful of how helpful and how serious they took the allergy.
Finally a gluten free fried chicken sandwich!!! Everything came labeled as gluten free, which put my mind at ease. It was delicious!
Great gluten fee fried chicken, will definitely go again
AMAZING GLUTEN FREE FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH! ONE OF THE BEST MEALS OF MY LIFE AND I’M NOT KIDDING. Very polite employees and quick service. When near please visit.
Your gluten free buddy
Dedicated GF
Knowledgeable about gluten free preparation and chicken sandwich was good. Separate fryer for gluten free orders.
Delicious crispy fried chicken, fries etc. and almost entire menu is available gluten free. It's so wonderful to feel safe from cross contamination. Very knowledgeable staff give lots of details, e.g. they have dedicated fryer for chicken and other fried foods like chips and fries, use separate utensils for spreads... Owner has family with celiac, so they know how important it is to be careful.
Fried chicken was amazing!!!! Hubby said the GF version tasted somewhat better than the normal ones… definitely will come back.
Had the fried chicken salad without cheese or dressing. It was absolutely delicious. Nice mix of greens in the salad.
Loved the GF fried chicken salad! And the chicken soup.
Omg yummy! I haven’t had fried chicken in forever. You won’t be disappointed.
Best gf fried chicken! They have a separate kitchen for cooking gf and almost everything on the menu can be adjusted.
They use a separate part of the kitchen and have a dedicated fryer.
Everything on the menu can be made gluten free
Got glutened real bad. Sick for hours afterwards and still have a terrible migraine.
Amazing gluten free fried chicken as well as fries and dipping sauce!!!
They glutened me GOOD, this was definitely a stronger reaction than I get to accidental contamination. I mentioned specifically that I'm celiac, so this isn't a "lack of awareness" situation.
Interesting that I had the Oakland Proposition chicken a bit before and it was fine. Judging by the reviews, something may be up with the one in SF.
Really disappointed because the food was good and the promise of gluten free was so convincing.
My partner and I both got sick eating here, despite confirming there was a GF option that was fried separately. Do not recommend!
I’m celiac and specified a severe allergy. I tested my food twice with the nima sensor and it came back positive for gluten. Unfortunately I made the mistake of trusting this place, but no matter what you say to them, you can’t be sure. The wings and fries tested positive even though they were labeled as gluten free.
The staff seemed to be knowledgeable about what was gluten free. Unfortunately I was confident in their statements and got extremely sick while on vacation here. Not safe!
Excellent fried chicken. Also had the potato wedges. Would definitely eat here again.
I’ve eaten here a couple of times and thought I got glutened the first time but after trying it two more times, I’m sure it wasn’t their food. So as a celiac, I’ve decided to give them a 5 since he food is so delicious.
Absolutely delicious! First time I've been able to have fried chicken in past 5 years since being diagnosed coeliac! Bread is nice too! Even the hand made cut chips are gorgeous! If you want to eat out cheap in San Francisco, this is the place to go to!
Gluten free fried chicken!!! Dedicated fryer so gluten fries too. My favorite is the salad, due to a really delicious baby kale, romaine, basil, mint mix. The staff is really knowledgeable about gluten free. Today they saved me from accidentally ordered malted mayo with my fries. I’ve eaten here dozens of times and never gotten sick, also it is delicious. They also do dairy-free and vegan.
The food is delicious but definitely not gluten free. I've been seriously glutened both of the two times I've eaten here. Despite letting them know I'm Celiac and asking all the questions you're supposed to ask.
I ordered a gluten-free fried chicken in a sandwich. The staff understood everything but probably didn‘t order my meal gluten-free. I felt terrible after eating it.
Worth the drive from anywhere. I’ll pay bridge toll and sit through traffic just to get another plate of fried chicken Great fries too. Celiac and had no reaction from the too good to be true food.
The staff was so knowledgeable, I relaxed immediately. Also, fried chicken in a dedicated fryer! Delicious and safe :)
Staff was very knowledgeable. It was FABULOUS. Staff was gracious and helpful in spite of us arriving near closing.
Haven’t had fried chicken in so long. Glad to know places like this exist in the Bay Area. The gluten free bread was amazing!!!
Wow. Just wow. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some fried chicken.
I ordered gluten-free – it was clearly marked on the order. They gave me regular fried chicken. They have never done this before – but an experience like that is very unsafe and could leave someone so for a long time
Separate fryer, eaten many times and have ordered delivery with no problem! Absolutely delicious - the whole group ate GF and couldn’t tell a difference!
