🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Fries: GF when prepared in the dedicated fryer.
  • Meats: Most meats are GF when ordered with the GF process in mind (staff often guides which sauces are safe for each item).
  • Sauces: Most BBQ sauces are GF; be aware that one sauce is not GF (Texas Twang) and should be avoided unless confirmed safe for your order.
  • Gluten-free menu: A dedicated GF menu is available at the register and/or online; staff recommendations are common and helpful.
  • Important note: Cornbread is not GF and is frequently flagged as not suitable for GF orders; avoid unless you specifically request removal.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Cross-contamination is a real risk in any large kitchen, especially with shared equipment. The prevalence of positive experiences here is paired with a few negative anecdotes.
  • Reported risks include:
  • Accidental inclusion of non-GF items like cornbread on a GF plate.
  • Occasional uncertainty about which sauces are GF, highlighting the need to confirm the GF status of each sauce and to have staff call out the GF order to the kitchen.
  • A small number of recent incidents where a diner felt unwell, underscoring that no establishment with non-dedicated facilities can guarantee zero risk.
  • The overarching pattern is that when GF orders are clearly communicated and handled (glove changes, surface wipes, dedicated fryers, and GF menus), the outcome is typically safe and enjoyable.
