What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Fries (gluten-free when prepared in the dedicated fryer, per available notes)
- Brisket
- Pork Ribs
- Pulled Pork
- Potato Salad
- BBQ sauces (gluten-free as stated in menu descriptions)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not a dedicated gluten-free environment, so cross-contact is a possibility if careful ordering isn’t followed.
- There is evidence of a dedicated fryer for French fries, which reduces risk for that item, but other items may have potential gluten-containing components depending on preparation.
- Some older reviews note gluten concerns with specific dishes (e.g., rib glaze) or lack of a clearly labeled GF menu, so it’s important to communicate clearly and verify with staff before ordering.
- A laminated GF list behind the counter has been mentioned by guests as a reference, which helps with safe selections but relies on staff following it consistently.
