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

If you’ve been craving an excuse to swing by Crack Shack Costa Mesa… this is it.

We’ve rolled out some of our biggest menu updates yet—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.

Let’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 it’s breaded (with gluten-free breading) or served unbreaded, you can order with confidence—no swaps, no guesswork. Same crispy, juicy chicken, just more accessible.


Wrap Game = Strong

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

We’ve officially entered our wrap era—and we didn’t hold back.

  • Cali Drip Wrap – pollo asado, fries (yes, inside), pickled onions & jalapeños, chipotle-bacon mayo, melty oaxacan queso
  • Crack Wrap – al pastor chicken, cotija, pickled jalapeño mayo, pico de gallo, cabbage mix
  • Caesar’s Chick Wrap – now living its best life in the wrap section

Portable, packed, and honestly… 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 lighter—but still very much Crack Shack:

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

These aren’t “sad desk lunch” 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 – $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.


So… What’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 hungry—we’ll take care of the rest.
