Always remind them of “gluten allergy” multiple times and they note it in my order. Not bad for a fast food option.

ordered myself grilled chicken bites and I DID NOT get sick afterwards. told staff about having celiac/severe gluten intolerance and they were able to identify and reassure me it would be safe from CC. came in a separate bag from my friends order. definitely one of the safer fast food options, just make sure to do your due diligence.

Update: 8/2021 Can't thank the staff enough for making sure my food is gluten free. This is the only fast food restaurant that I trust with my Celiac.

I had the waffle fries and the chicken sandwich the bun was really good. The person taking my order was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and celiac.

Update 11/23/19: We go here about twice a month and the people are great and always reassure us that our food will be gluten free.

Update 5/01/20: Amazing service and they are doing their part to make sure our order is gluten free. So nice to have gluten free takeout especially during this difficult time.

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.
