Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

In general this is not a restaurant that will be able to guarantee no cross contamination. That being said, the staff there was very communicative in the gluten friendly options available. Basically any chicken can be made naked, bread can be subbed for fries, and the slaw/cane sauce is gluten free.

The frier is not fully dedicated. Sometimes when there is a large rush of orders chicken will be fried in the frier. That being said, during the time I was there the manager made sure they had not been cooking chicken in the fry frier that day. For those with a serious allergy avoid the fries and contemplate finding a different place to eat.

Asked with the gentleman manning the payment window, the naked fingers are cooked in a shared fryer :( steer clear if that won't work for you (like me, didn't chance it!)

Great for celiacs! Make sure they still have a separate fryer if you visit.

When I asked if they had gluten free options they showed me an allergen list. I had read that some places have a dedicated fryer so I asked about that. They said the fries are in their own fryer and are gluten free. I asked if I could have any chicken and they said they have “naked tenders” which are essentially grilled chicken strips that are fried in the fry fryer. They do not put any breading or flour on these tenders. The employee also said that they make sure the naked tenders and fries have no cross contamination risk by putting them both in that dedicated fryer. I felt extremely comfortable ordering here after the employee was aware of cross contact. Since we can’t have the toast, they said I could get more fries or coleslaw; I opted for more fries. The tenders were tender and had a little crunch from being lightly fried. Great food!

They have a fryer dedicated to their fries - You can order “naked bird” and your chicken will be fried in the fry fryer to avoid cross contamination. However, I am not sure if they change gloves when handling “Naked Bird” orders. I don’t believe their sauce is GF, as I think it has Worcestershire in it.
