Offers gluten free bun, grilled chicken, fries and beverages. (Fries fried in canola oil in a septate fryer than other products_ their breaded items are fried in another fryer with peanut oil).

They are super busy which leaves little time for extra attention and or care so celiac beware but I have eaten there before and have been fine and also have had minor reactions, I'd say it's split 50/50. Not GF but offers gluten friendly options.

First time going to a Chick-fil-A since being diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity several weeks ago. I’ve been eating gluten-free since I found out and did my research prior to deciding to come here. In my research I found that Chick-Fil-A has gluten-free fries, one of the main reasons I decided to give it a try. Only to be told by the manager that only the buns are gluten-free. It’s super frustrating when even the manager isn’t aware of what is or isn’t gluten-free.

I just learned that I have A gluten sensitivity, so I called several places. The manager of this Chickfila told me that she cannot guarantee their food is not cross contaminated. Yes, the fries have their own fryer, but the same tools are used to clean all the fryers. Plus, the grill where they cook all their meat is very close to the flour breading station. What a disappointment! I was really hoping chickfila would be Celiac friendly.

Most all of their chicken being breaded, I decided to try their market salad. I had pretty low expectations but it was pretty good. The downside being that sometimes they sell out of them and it's kind of over-priced. Other than that, pretty good.

This restaurant is always busy and always clean. We like the dedicated fryer for the fries, and the salads are always good with the grilled chicken, but sometimes I grow weary of salads. Sometimes I want hot food. . .

I get the southwest grilled chicken salad here all the time. I also like the grilled chicken sandwich with the gluten free bun, and have gotten the nuggets, and the eggs and hash browns, and their french fries. I get little cups of ice cream sometimes. Dedicated gluten free fryer. Never had a reaction in all the years I've been eating here. The eggs are probably the riskiest thing to eat because they make biscuits from scratch in the morning, only got them once when I was starving. A lifesaver when you need to pick up something quick to eat!

Chick-Fil-A is really the only fast food establishment I can eat at without a reaction. They have a fryer just for the fries. I always get a grilled nuggets meal with fries. It has always been fine for me but I also always let them know I am celiac and can’t have any cross contamination. I have never had a reaction at this location and only only location have I experienced a reaction and that was a location in North Carolina.

Though the corporate website has info about gluten free items and the order taker I spoke with not only understood cross contamination but has Celiac herself, I didn't feel well after eating the fries. I bought grilled chicken and fries. They fry the fries in different oil than breaded items so I tried them first. At first it seemed fine but I felt gross and my throat hurt after the fries. I didn't even bother with the grilled nuggets as I've had the same thing with them before. I just won't bother with Chickfila anymore.
