Summary of Gluten Free Menu Options at Wingstop
Pro tips and a quick summary of everything gluten free at Wingstop
- When you order at the store or even online, tell them you have an allergy or Celiac Disease so they take precautions with your food, custard, and drinks.
- The lemon pepper wings are delicious! However the chance for cross-contamination with Wingstop is high, so it’s not the best option for people with Celiac.
- Wingstop has 14 ratings on Find Me Gluten Free with an average of 3.5 stars indicating a medium experience for most gluten free customers. It isn’t enough data to make an informed opinion on. But having personally tried Wingstop I can share that getting sick is more common than not. Pretty much anything fried has gluten contamination.
- The ranch is incredible and is gluten free. Some people just go to Wingstop for the ranch!
