Since it is right on campus, this Chick Fil A is VERY busy. Before turning into straight chaos 2 years ago, they used to do very well with separating everything. Now that it is swarmed with Fayetteville’s overload of college students, there simply isn’t enough time or space for them to keep things separate anymore. I used to be able to eat their fries, but now I would not recommend it if you’re celiac. With grilled chicken nuggets, sometimes I get glutened and sometimes I don’t but my sensitivity changes. I’d say their grilled chicken patty is USUALLY okay in a closed container, with the prepackaged gluten free bun they have available. I get this if I am running late somewhere or have no other options to eat that I can get fast. But do not promise 100% safety. Miss what they used to be able to do for celiacs :(

I've tried eating here with a variety of different gluten-free meal combinations, but every time I get cross-contaminated. Maybe this place can work for those with low sensitivity to gluten, but it has never been safe for me.

Fries are cooked in a separate basket. My daughter gets the grilled nuggets, fries and a chocolate milkshake and had no issues.

Chick-fil-A offers gluten free grilled chicken nuggets and many locations have dedicated fryers for fries. Check with your location if cross-contamination is a concern for you.
Tell them to red flag for gluten. Grilled nuggets and chicken breast are wonderful. Fries done in own oil
Yes
The best fast food options for the gluten free community. The staff at this location always go above and beyond to take care of dietary needs.

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.

They have a separate fryer at this location for their French fries, so they are celiac-safe! Tons of great GF options for fast food. When I mentioned celiac to the person taking my order she offered to relay the message and have them change gloves! Overall was treated with kindness about my allergy (which is rare in fast food) and happy to return

5-6-24 found out the grilled chicken as YEAST EXTRACT FOR THISE THAT ARE SENSITIVE TO IT!!!!
Fries and tots are designated friers…
Went to grab dinner. Ordered one meal then said, “now this order is GLUTEN FREE DUE TO ALLERGIES” gave her my order and when I pulled to window they told me, “we wiped the counter and changed gloves before prepping your gluten free meal!”
Even though they’re always busy- it’s worth the wait knowing they take it seriously!

Here is how I order here, because with so many people and a new one each time it can be confusing but they have great protocols if you are assertive and patient. I order my food separately from my family’s (because they prefer to eat gluten here). This avoids any risk of cross contamination and one time when I specified gluten free they gave the kids grilled nuggets instead of fried. Since I have begun ordering this way I haven’t had an issue. I usually order my family’s on the app for pickup inside and then mine I order at the counter or drive thru only. I say “gluten allergy” (there is a button but sometimes they will just write it in and to change gloves), and then after they hand me my food I ask again “this is for a gluten allergy, did they change their gloves?” They usually go ask to make sure and say yes. It always takes a bit longer to get my food but I smile and am grateful and patient.
I order the grilled sandwich on a gluten free bun (comes separately and you have to put it together) and fries.
