Following is a list of some fast food joints and links to their allergen information. Feel free to contact the individual restaurants for more info, and to bug them about providing gluten free items.

 Hold the wheat!

Arby’s

Allergen List.
Arby’s is great about packaging the roast beef in a plastic container, rather than placing it on a bun. The curly fries have gluten, but the potato cakes seem to be GF.

Burger King

The King has very few GF items.
Menu & Nutrition Info.

Carls Jr
Allergen Menu.
There are a couple of things here:
The Six Dollar Lo Carb Burger
Regular & Chili Fries

In-N-Out

Very GF friendly… you can get any burger "Protein Style" or wrapped in lettuce instead of on a bun. Protein Style is listed in their "Not-So-Secret Menu" Also their French fries are made fresh from potatoes that were washed, peeled and cooked minutes before they are served to you.

Jack in the Box
Ingredient List.
Sorry, not much here.

KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken)
Allergen Info.
Not a whole lot here, either, although a few sides a GF.

McDonald's

Allergen info.
There is very little there that is gluten-free—even their fries and hash browns contain wheat! The salads seem safe, just watch out for the dressings. Most of the ice cream products look safe, too. Always check before you dine, though.
