Gluten-Free at Chuy's

All their meat is marinated in beer so no meat is gluten free and it took years to figure this out after telling them I was gluten free and asking for options. Beware!

Planned on going here for a quick dinner based on prior reviews. Told the server I had celiac disease and the manager came over and said there was nothing safe, that “everything is fried”and there is no dedicated fryer, so we ended up leaving.

If you tell them you have an allergy, they will send a manager out and explain in detail what is safe. The manager will also bring out your food. They are amazing and so friendly about everything.

I usually get the southwest enchilada with boom boom and plain roasted chicken (the other chicken is marinated with gluten) and I’ve never been sick!!

Okay let me start by saying I’ve been to chuy’s before at other locations but after this I will not be returning. When I asked for a gluten free options they gave me a menu which was great. It was quite limited (no meat, no rice, no sauce) but I went with it.

When my plate came the enchiladas I ordered had both rice and sauce on them which the gf menu said were NOT gf. I asked the waitress to double check and she reassured me it was okay.

I ended up sick and with gluten rash shortly after eating. I then talked to another friend who is Celiac and said she had issues at a separate location as well.

Upside- my friends who are not celiac said their food was great.

As soon as we got there the manager was at the front desk my husband mentioned I have celiac’s disease. He made use to place me with someone who understood and gave us the gluten menus. It was fabulous.! The waitress was very aware of what was needed. And the manager checked on us.

I told my waitress shaylyn so sweet that I was gluten free and she went and ask the chef and they came up with corn enchiladas and a tomatillos souse and grill chicken ! Very delicious and the chips are cooked by themselves so I could eat them too ! Had a very good experience! Thank you !!!

Jeremy, the manager, was very knowledgeable about gluten free. Specifically asked if I had Celiac. Told me exactly what I could have and what to stay away from. The chips are fried in a dedicated fryer. He has a family member with Celiac so is very in tuned with their menu. Service was very good, Katey was very attentive. I ordered chicken enchiladas and a side salad and of course chips!

They were so nice about me telling them about my Celiac disease. The waitress was educated enough and referred back to her manager when she was unsure. The manager on duty came out and personally took my order and made my meal herself in the back to ensure no cross contamination occurred. This location has a customer for life.

Avoid Chuy’s altogether if you have Celiac or a strong sensitivity to gluten. There is virtually nothing on their menu that is safe. The staff is clueless. I’ve heard anecdotal reports of kitchen staff and management virtually turning away anyone in need of a GF meal. I personally ordered the one item on the menu that the server indicated was GF, that looked to me most likely to be GF. I took some gluten-digesting enzymes with it to try and be safe, and I still got sick. Needless to say, I can’t imagine I’ll ever be going again.

The server sent the manager over to go over options, the chips are not gluten free as they’re in a shared fryer. They tried there best to accommodate me. They let me know what they had for gluten free options. I had the chicken enchiladas as I was informed they were rolled in a corn tortilla and also with plain chicken and cheese Ended up getting sick with in the hour of eating here.

Mexican is my go-to while traveling. My service dog cleared the tortilla chips. The salsa is excellent!! The best I’ve had in years. I got Tacos el Carbon (probably spelling it wrong) with corn tortillas subbed for the standard flour and everything tasted good and was dog-certified. Dinner for two was under 40 bucks.

Staff was very helpful in making sure what I ordered was safe. I was unable to get crispy tacos as they crisp in the same fryer as flour (chips are in separate fryer- not sure why they couldn’t use that one?). I got “warm” corn tortilla tacos and enchiladas with an alternate sauce and refried beans - no rice. I wish I could give a higher rating based on the service, however as far as taste goes, it just wasn’t to my liking.

I informed the server that I had an allergy (I know it’s not an allergy but it’s easier to explain that way) and asked if I could speak to a manager. A manager came out and spoke with me almost right away. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and told me how things were cooked and what to avoid. He really put my mind at ease. Would definitely go back.

I see the terrible reviews, but I haven’t had a bad experience here. The staff isn’t as knowledgeable, so you have to do your homework in advance, but I’ve eaten here twice since diagnosis and have left with no symptoms.

I bring my own chips to eat the Queso, and order based on research. I heard the fajita beef is marinated in beer. So I tend to get crispy tacos. I emailed the manager to double check on the ground beef seasoning, and he sent me their gluten friendly menu. Hopefully this helps someone…

I had dinner here and was pleasantly surprised by my meal. The manager came out and talked to me specifically about what was safe. He also said he would talk to the kitchen and let them know to be super careful. I got the chicken enchiladas with ranchero sauce. At this location the chips are fried separately so they were also celiac safe! The queso is not gf though, they use flour in a roux. Overall I really enjoyed it there, I would definitely go back!

AMAZING! I was nervous about coming here because online reviews were contradicting. Brandon, the manager, was so helpful. He talked to me on the phone and went over some options for me. He was very knowledgeable about every item on the menu and cross contamination. He even came to my table when I arrived and talked things over with me. He even put in my order himself. He was very kind and made sure that I had a good experience without having to worry. He checked up on me and made sure my meal was made with corn tortillas! He was great and Chuys is a great option for Celiac

I called and asked what was safe, basically only the rice and beans and guacamole and cheese and pico were safe. Ordered corn tortillas, and they came mixed in with flour ones, which thankfully I noticed before eating any. I think they have issues with cross contamination since I had a bad reaction after eating there. Don't risk it, it's not worth it.

If you call or dine in and mention “allergy” the staff are trained to immediately get a manager.

For celiacs and wheat allergy the manager told me this:

The chips are GF because they are fried in a separate fryer, all other fried menu options are not GF.

The beans and rice are GF.

All beef and some chicken is marinated with gluten.

The veggie mix is GF.

Oven roasted chicken and grilled shrimp are the only GF proteins.

Boom-boom and tomatillo sauce are the only GF sauces.

Anything that can be made with a corn tortilla that isn’t fried can be prepared GF, so basically just the enchiladas and tacos.

They had 5 gluten free sauces, I ordered a enchilada and they made it with a corn tortilla(they usually don't) it was good, did it contain gluten, idk they said no. Was it cross contaminated, idk I have no symptoms and fell upon celiac accidentally.

Super poor GF menu choice although they do have a GF menu. No meat options. No chips. My son was served his Gf quesadilla on corn tortillas on top of fries despite being told no fries. They remade it but definitely wouldn’t ever come back or recommend this restaurant for GF or celiacs.

Husband is probably in remission of celiac so take it with a grain of salt. So far we have had no bad experience here since the manager posted on FB. They will come and warn you which is understandable, I appreciate it. It really depends on the day on who is comfortable and not comfortable.

The manager, Shawn, is the first manager that has come out to speak with me directly since being diagnosed. He basically said there isn't anything that one with celiac can eat here (even the rice has gluten in it). BUT they do have a gluten free menu which is just basically items that can be modified. He asked what I needed to have in order to be safe, and I asked for them to change their gloves and clean the work area. He was even going to ensure the food was going to be cooked on top of foil. My go to Mexican food were cheese enchiladas before my diagnosis and this is the first time I'm going to be able to enjoy my favorites. Truly appreciate this place! He said that they could even do chicken fajitas (as long as it's chicken that isn't marinated) and they could do it on the flat top (which would take longer).

I felt so taken care of at this location. My waitress didn’t know a lot about the gluten free options so she got a manager to come by and chat with me. He explained all of options I had and even offered for the kitchen crew to clean their work station before cooking my enchiladas. The queso and Jalapeño ranch sauce are not gluten free, but the chips are. My enchilada meal was delicious!
