Amending my review because of some mixed messaging I just discovered. The GF on their menus and allergy list only means (the unhelpfully vague term) "gluten friendly" despite staff refering to it "gluten free"... Conversely, my server had also told me the fries contain 5% gluten... Head office now tells me they meant they contain 5 parts per millions in regular testing, well below the standard to be considered gluten free (20ppm), so they should be safe for celiacs after all. So staff not as knowledgeable as I first thought... Confusing!Proceed with caution! 🥴
My original review:
Great variety of GF chicken options marked on menu - BUT despite the fries being marked GF on menu and allergy info, they are actually a cross contamination risk because they are fried in same fryer as gluten-containing churros. Always an annoyance that they mark such things as GF!! But helpful and knowledgeable staff... Like, surprisingly knowledgeable for a fast food chain.

I went to this location less than a month ago and had the chicken tenders and fries combo. I was assured it was all gluten free, and I did not get sick. I went today and was told that there is actually cross contamination for the fries, as they are fried in the same fryer as the churros. There seems to be confusion on what is actually safe, but would recommend double checking with the location before eating the fries. Bummer, but would still go back for the chicken tenders

GF fried chicken and fried chicken salads along with sandos (lettuce wrap). Chicken is moist and crunchy. Clean and tasty fast food with good flavor and value.
Fries are contaminated but plenty of other good sides. Coleslaw was solid.
Other favorite fried chicken is Korean fried chicken PAPA’S in K-Town but Starbird is a great option if in the Beverly Grove area.

Guys this place is legit. Fully gf menu. The tenders were just that. Tender, juicy, and delicious. Lots of sauces. Spicy or not. Cheap and yummy. I got 3 tenders with half fries half Cole slaw. The drinks are really good too. A bit sweet but I just added a little water. Go. Just go.

Dedicated fryer, amazing flavors. Seriously, idk where else you can get so many great flavors of fried chicken. The Nashville flavor is top notch. Even my gluten eating friends love it.

Fried chicken is my favorite food and I’ve tried all gf fried chicken in LA and at home, and I’m not kidding when I tell you this is the best I’ve ever had. Basically it’s a gf raising canes. The tenders, nuggets, fries, and slaw are celiac safe. Manager said all chicken and fries are in dedicated fryers. They have allergen menu too which tell you which sauces are gf

Super crispy on the outside and very moist on the inside. All the employees were so friendly and helpful. The chicken is in its own fryer. Fries are not celiac safe as they are fried in the same one as their churros. The slaw is yummy and has a little sweetness to it. As long as I stay feeling good, I would definitely come back again.

This location opened recently. Lots of gluten free options clearly marked on the menu- we didn’t see them on the online ordering. The cashier was very knowledgeable and wasn’t afraid to offer to double check if she wasn’t sure. We got the 3 piece classic box- 3 incredibly crunchy chicken tenders (rice flour), fries, and a cold slaw with kale and carrots. You can get all fries or all slaw if you prefer. Comes with 2 dipping sauces- we got honey mustard and Greek yogurt ranch. They did accidentally give me a hoisin aioli- I didn’t risk it. I got the pineapple limeade and it was yummy-just enough tart- I usually just drink water or plain iced tea, so this was a treat! We watched them make a lettuce wrap sandwich- she wiped down the workspace and used romaine leaves- was a large sandwich. Receipt was marked gluten allergy. Im super new to all of this and very anxious to eat outside of my home. There’s a few deals- if you download their app- you can collect points. Or there’s a discount code through yelp. Parking was easy in garage. We were there about 2pm on a Thursday and the place was hoping! I can’t imagine what dinner time or the weekend will look like. Food took awhile to come out, so we had it to go. Will definitely be back!

Really really good! No, it’s not exactly the same but as someone quite new to GF (to still remember all the gluten goodness), I was rather impressed and would happily eat here even if I had a magic fix.
Very clear info on their menu and while they’re transparent about it not being a GF kitchen, that goes a long to having confidence for me. That most of their products are GF helps too.

I ordered the gluten-free chicken tenders and french fries and I was gluten. I asked the employee about cross contamination and he said I would be fine! I called when my symptoms started and they said the French fries are NO longer gluten free….

Lots of gf options - chicken strips and fries are delicious. It’s one of our go-to options for take out.

My absolute favorite chicken ever!!! And the breading is gluten free flour. It satisfies my chicken tender craving every time. Watch out for the Thai sauce as it has gluten.
