No dedicated fryer as reported. Staff thought we were a bit touched when I mentioned previous reviews. Manager was also confused and refunded our money for the confusion.
No
Last time I tried to get food there, the chicken fryers were down, everything got cooked in the fry fryer. Who knows how often this happens or if they do any CC clean up afterwords. I am not willing to take that risk
This place is awesome. Get the naked chicken fingers with the fries. All gluten free and all awesome. Too bad I'm not from NOLA. But when I visit my sis I'll keep coming here.
Yes
The fries are not gluten-free per the linked allergen guide
Naked chicken strips are the best! Even my gluten eater family member prefer them over the regular. This Canes location goes the extra mile for their food allergy customers.
"Naked" chicken strips were great! Nice to find a fast food restaurant that is accommodating to GF needs! Sometimes when traveling you just need something quick! This was a perfect option for us.
I go to this canes quite often and request naked chicken tenders. They fry the naked tenders in the separate fryer with the French fries, which are also GF!
Great for celiacs! Make sure they still have a separate fryer if you visit.
When I asked if they had gluten free options they showed me an allergen list. I had read that some places have a dedicated fryer so I asked about that. They said the fries are in their own fryer and are gluten free. I asked if I could have any chicken and they said they have “naked tenders” which are essentially grilled chicken strips that are fried in the fry fryer. They do not put any breading or flour on these tenders. The employee also said that they make sure the naked tenders and fries have no cross contamination risk by putting them both in that dedicated fryer. I felt extremely comfortable ordering here after the employee was aware of cross contact. Since we can’t have the toast, they said I could get more fries or coleslaw; I opted for more fries. The tenders were tender and had a little crunch from being lightly fried. Great food!

They have a fryer dedicated to their fries - You can order “naked bird” and your chicken will be fried in the fry fryer to avoid cross contamination. However, I am not sure if they change gloves when handling “Naked Bird” orders. I don’t believe their sauce is GF, as I think it has Worcestershire in it.

The good: they have naked tenders you can order and they are very good.
The bad: no dedicated fryer for chicken or fries
Staff not knowledgeable at all about GF.

They have a fryer dedicated to frying unbattered, as they call them “naked”, chicken tenders and the fries are fried separate from the regular chicken.

Not safe at all for celiac. If you’re regular gluten free and are fine with cross contamination the fries are probably a decent snack, if celiac you should completely avoid.
