We read some old posts that Chuy’s was not gluten friendly but we found out different. The kitchen manager was great! He was able to show us the precise menu options that he could assure would be served gluten free for our celiac daughter. She LOVED the chicka chicka boom boom enchiladas!

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.

The kitchen manager Miguel is always amazing. Their enchiladas and chips are gf. Unfortunately their rice has a cross contamination risk and all fajita meat is marinated in beer. However, they can make a plain chicken breast for fajitas if requested.

When I asked about a gluten-free menu the manager , Brent, came to our table. He was very knowledgeable of gf issues and assured me that the folks in the kitchen are also. There are several delicious gf options. Ask questions and choose carefully.

No, avoid this place is not good. Not worth the price and barely any gluten free options.

Food SUCKS. Only two or three options and they are terrible. I will never be back here

Were pretty knowledgeable. They helped me find something gluten free I could eat.

I had the boom boom chicken with rancherito sauce. Tortillas were corn and all the sauces are gluten free. Good food.

No gluten free menu, but the manager came to the table to give gluten free options. I had beef enchilada and beans. They have 3 options for sauce as well. I would come again.

They are very aware that cross contamination is a possibility on their entire menu except one salad.

I ordered the one salad they told me would not have risk of being cross contaminated. It was delicious! I would recommend it to someone who wasn’t gluten free because it was so good!

Do not eat at this place if you are Celiac or avoiding gluten. Everything is marinated in beer.

I should have done my research beforehand. The waiter checked on the chips, queso and taco salad minus the shell and told me they were safe to eat. I was already feeling sick before my meal arrived. After eating at the restaurant I called to talk to a manager and learned that chips are fried with all the other gluten-containing items and flour is put in almost everything they make including the meats and queso. Very disappointed and will not be returning here.

The staff was knowledgeable about gluten free menu items and aware of cross contamination. Dedicated fryer for tortilla chips.

Manager Judith was amazing for my celiac teen. Made fresh baked chips, fresh queso with no roux just for her, gave her a beautiful set up to make her own nachos (what she wanted) that was safe.

As soon as I asked for GF options the waitress brought me corn tortillas since I couldn’t eat the chips and let us know that they don’t have a separate menu but they are trained on it and have a list of modifications they keep in the back. She asked what I wanted and helped me make the adjustments needed to make it GF

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Do NOT eat here if you have any type of gluten intolerance.

Celiac friendly?

No

I let the waitress know as soon as i got there that I needed to know their GF options, and it is their procedure to send the manager to talk to you about it. The manager specifically asked why I needed GF- when i told her I was celiac, she knew exactly what to tell me was off limits, was very knowledgeable about cross-contamination, and told me what was at risk. She baked me a separate batch of chips, and told me to order without rice bc the rice was at risk for cross-contamination. I ordered the stacked enchiladas with no rice- the corn tortillas, roasted chicken, tomatillo sauce and refried beans are all GF. It was very easy to order after speaking to the manager.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

You don’t have a GF menu if you can’t offer a meal! Most frustrating experience when you are excluded from almost every item in the place. reminds me of how fast food restaurants list their condiments as GF. That does not mean you have a GF menu. Don’t waste your time.

Celiac friendly?

No

Talk to the manager before you order. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Chips were baked vs. fried and found out all meat can be made gluten free. Manager worked with me to make a custom meal that met all my dietary needs.

The managers are always very willing to help, so don’t hesitate to ask! They need to clean the tortilla hot top before making safe tortillas. The kitchen doesn’t have dedicated space, but they are super nice and willing to accommodate! The ranchero sauce is probably the safest for enchiladas. Make sure to ask for pulled chicken or ground sirloin.

Only gluten free options are oven roasted chicken and possibly a salad. All items are cooked on the same grill and in same oil or prepared on same surfaces, definitely cross contamination.. Waitress was not knowledgeable but manager was but tried to convince our table that sometimes cross contamination can be an issue but in most cases not..

Celiac friendly?

No

No GF menu. Warms corn tortillas and flour ones on same surface so can’t even have corn. Chicken is marinated in beer. Could easily offer enchiladas, corn tacos, and Mexi salads gluten free (with small dedicated prep area and grilling non marinated chicken and offering GF ranch dressing) but chain apparently doesn’t want our business or the family members we take with us to places that offer safe options.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was knowledgeable however, our son was severely contaminated. Have eaten at another Chuy’s in Richmond, VA with no issues but this location doesn’t have a safe environment for anyone with celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

Barely anything is gf.. the chicken is marinated in beer and the rice isn’t even GF.. most of the sauces are not GF. They couldn’t guarantee that anything wouldn’t be cross contaminated. I got something with unmarinated chicken and beans and it was not worth it.

Celiac friendly?

No

VERY limited allergen menu. Server was accommodating but there is zero meat options available.

If you ask to see the manager when placing your order they will give you the MOON! If asked they will bake the chips. The ground beef is gluten free but the steak fajitas are not. Tacos can be made with soft corn tortillas. Cheese dip has gluten in it .. we had a great experience but always deal with the public

I wish I could give this restaurant a bunch of stars because the manager and waiter were extremely knowledgeable and careful by telling us there was not anything safe for a celiac On the menu even the corn tortillas since they are made in the same fryer as gluten. We brought my 4 year old son’s food with us so it was totally fine, but then the manager brought out safely prepared chicken breast tenders (with foil on the grill) with gluten free ketchup on the house, which he didn’t eat since he was already full, so I can’t speak to CC, but I felt safe offering it to my son due to their knowledge about cross contamination.

Got sick both times I’ve tried to eat here.

Celiac friendly?

No

There is nothing here to eat. Everything is cross contaminated and there are really no options per the manager.

Celiac friendly?

No

Manager explained what I could have so I ordered exactly as she explained: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom enchiladas with refried beans and no rice. Tested with my Nima Sensor and it tested positive for gluten. The manager was kind and took the meal off the ticket. They did bring me baked tortilla chips and salsa but I did not test them for gluten.

Celiac friendly?

No

Manager stated that fajita meat is gluten free as is the shredded chicken in the enchiladas.

If you have a Gluten Allergy or Celiac the only thing you can have are the vegetarian enchiladas. All of their meat is marinated in Shiner Bock Beer. The staff is not knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

No

Basically nothing at any Chuy’s is gluten free. Even their tortilla chips are fried in a shared fryer. They marinate all their meat in beer. If you have celiac, best steer clear.

Celiac friendly?

No

Manager was very helpful with finding options that is safe for those with Celiac Disease. I had the fajitas with Chicken (it’s oven baked) and the chips are fried in a dedicated fryer.

Spoke to manager Ricky about my need for a truly gf meal. He specially prepared a grilled chicken salad and baked some gf tortilla chips for me. They might not be able to make these accommodations at peak times, but at 2PM I got a safe delicious meal.

The food sucks here. I got the chicken enchiladas or whatever they are called and it was terrible.

Update: This restaurant is very dangerous for a celiac. All meats are marinated in beer. The corn tortillas are made on the same tortilla press as the flour tortillas. Only a couple of the sauces are safe. Chips and queso is not safe. I got extremely sick after eating here the 2nd time. I will not be back.

Original review: Our waiter was unsure what was safe so he had the manager come over to talk to me. She was knowledgeable and explained what I could eat. You have to be very careful here and make sure they know if you have celiac. They prepared me my own chips and had to clean the tortilla maker and make me corn tortillas. I had chicken enchiladas with boom boom sauce. They were delicious. Only a few of the sauces are gluten free so make sure to ask. The queso is not gluten free. They have to prepare all of the meats without any seasoning to make it gluten free also. My food was good and I felt fine afterwards. Just be careful.

Celiac friendly?

No

No meat at all on gf menu. I ended up eating an appetizer of guacamole and a small side salad for dinner. Left there starving. Will not be back

Celiac friendly?

No

If you’re celiac, you can eat very few food in this restaurant. We had Tacos without meat there. They do have a gluten free menu but they cannot avoid cross-contamination. Comparing the gluten-free menu to their normal menu, we think they could have made much more food gluten-free than what they currently have. It seems that some of their food (like all the meat and sauces) are Packaged food, which contains gluten so they cannot substitute anything.

Celiac friendly?

No

They brought us their GF menu and it was ridiculously small. So disappointing. Apparently the food is supposed to be good. What we got off their menu was sub par.

Told to avoid it if I have celiac from management

Celiac friendly?

No

Are you crazy?!!? Like seriously?!? They make flour tortillas in the restaurant. They cross contaminate everything. This is were I went when I had to gluten myself to get diagnosed. Avoid Chuys.

Celiac friendly?

No

I am gluten intolerant. The manager came to our table and explained everything that would be okay for me to eat. He was so friendly and helpful! I will come back to this location when I am in Kansas City again!

Just diagnosed with severe Celiac disease, (still in denial), and this place was a no go for me. From what I've read, if the staff and manager is knowledgeable, they should be able to come up with something, but the chips share the fryer and the corn tortillas share the grill with the flour. So eat at your own risk 💩 Love the mojitos though!

Celiac friendly?

No

Unfortunately Chuy's is no longer safe. I was informed on Saturday that they now marinate their fajitas meat in beer. Also the corn tortillas are cooked on the same surface as flour tortillas.

A lot of the staff are not knowledgeable of what is celiac friendly and what isn’t... beware a lot of the meats are marinated in beer!! And lots of cross contamination issues, i got super sick before I even left the restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

No

They do not have a GF menu. The server went through the menu item by item and was very helpful. I did NOT get sick. They do not have a dedicated fryer so therefore there is cross contamination risk of the chips and some rice dishes.
