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. . .

The new restaurant takes GF seriously. We’ve had no issues. My son (15) is celiac’s. We always confirm before ordering and have had no problems with the staff or food.

I heard that they are celiac-friendly and wanted a quick bite on the go. This was the first time I'd gone since my diagnosis, so I went in because I was nervous about making sure it was safe for me to have it. The person who took my order had limited knowledge, maybe a recent hire. I was glad it was not very busy, and the manager took the opportunity to explain to both of us the process. Not only they have a few gf items marked on the menu, but if you tell them you have an allergy, they make sure to alert the staff, so they clean the area, utensils and change gloves before preparing the meal. They have a separate fryer for the fries, too.

Same with all Chick-fil-A places, they offer a gf bun that comes packaged so no cross contamination. I always order the grilled chicken sandwich and sub the bun. Never gotten sick and fries are fried in separate fryer.

We recently found out that they have a gluten free bun so my wife and I had to try it. We had grilled chicken sandwiches on the gluten free bun. The bun is still wrapped in its prepackaged bag when your food arrives so you can be certain it doesn’t come in contact with any cross contamination. It’s really nice to have a fast food option for those times when you are in a rush. It’s also very nice to be able to get an entire gluten free meal instead of only an item or two.
