The staff was very understanding, and I was able to get a grilled chicken sandwich with their gluten free bun. However, they did put my fries in with my husband’s food, so I couldn’t eat them, but I didn’t get sick!

You can taste the chemicals in the grilled chicken. Very unappetizing, got sick.

Not a huge selection.. But I took another reviewers recommendation and got the grilled nuggets, their waffle fries, and cole slaw. I really liked it, and didn't seem to have any reaction to it. It's nice to have another fast place to eat every now and then.

I usually get the grilled chicken nuggets, waffle fries, cole slaw and lemonade and have been fine. They fry the fries in their own frier as does Red Robin and the Farmers Gastropod. The grilled nuggets are cooked separately from items that have gluten. I am also very sensitive too and have not had an issues there. I can see why someone would be cautious since some of the upfront people working there look a little confused when I ask them about GF options. It is the only drive-thru fast food restaurant that I go to that is safe. I ask to have the order separately if ordering with a non-GF meal. The breading would travel all over the bag.

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.
