ALL Gluten-Free Chicken at the Crack Shack Costa Mesa & More

If youโ€™ve been craving an excuse to swing by Crack Shack Costa Mesaโ€ฆ this is it.

Weโ€™ve rolled out some of our biggest menu updates yetโ€”focused on more flexibility, more flavor, and making it easier for everyone to find their go-to order.

All Chicken Is Now Gluten-Free

Fried chicken pieces on a tray.

Letโ€™s start with the headline:
Every piece of chicken on the menu is now 100% gluten-free.

PLUS, our hand cut fries are also now entirely gluten-free!

That means whether itโ€™s breaded (with gluten-free breading) or served unbreaded, you can order with confidenceโ€”no swaps, no guesswork. Same crispy, juicy chicken, just more accessible.


Wrap Game = Strong

Burrito wrap with chicken, fries, and bacon on a tray.

Weโ€™ve officially entered our wrap eraโ€”and we didnโ€™t hold back.

  • Cali Drip Wrap โ€“ pollo asado, fries (yes, inside), pickled onions & jalapeรฑos, chipotle-bacon mayo, melty oaxacan queso
  • Crack Wrap โ€“ al pastor chicken, cotija, pickled jalapeรฑo mayo, pico de gallo, cabbage mix
  • Caesarโ€™s Chick Wrap โ€“ now living its best life in the wrap section

Portable, packed, and honestlyโ€ฆ a little dangerous.


Bowls That Actually Hit

Chicken patties with bacon and cheese on a bed of lettuce.

For when you want something a little lighterโ€”but still very much Crack Shack:

  • Firebird Bowl โ€“ spicy fried thigh, crispy onions, pickles, cool ranch, greens
  • All-American Chick Bowl โ€“ chicken patties, bacon, american cheese, mustardy onions, savory sauce
  • SoCal Cobb โ€“ now upgraded with charred corn instead of apples

These arenโ€™t โ€œsad desk lunchโ€ bowls. These are full-send bowls.


New Weekday Lunch Move

Two chicken sliders next to fries in a basket on a tray.

Say hello to your new lunch routine:

2 Slider Combo โ€“ $15

  • Firebird or Coop DeVille (mix & match if you want both)
  • Fries + a drink
  • Available weekdays until 3pm

Fast, filling, and priced right where it should be.


Soโ€ฆ Whatโ€™s the Vibe?

More options. More flexibility. A major win for gluten-free guests.
And a menu that still leans hard into what we do best: ridiculously good chicken.

Pull up hungryโ€”weโ€™ll take care of the rest.
