What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Brisket (gluten-free)
- Pulled Pork (gluten-free)
- Ribs (gluten-free)
- French Fries (gluten-free; dedicated fryer)
- Sauces: Most are gluten-free, but one or more may not be GF; the GF menu or staff guidance should be consulted for safe sauce choices.
- Cornbread: Not gluten-free; avoid on GF plates.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not all sauces are guaranteed GF; verify with staff which sauces are GF on the day of your visit.
- The Texas Twang sauce is frequently noted as not GF in several accounts; avoid that sauce if you are strictly avoiding gluten.
- Cornbread is not GF and can contaminate otherwise GF plates if not kept separate.
- During busy times, there is a higher risk of miscommunication; ensuring the GF order is clearly called out and surfaces are wiped, and gloves changed remains essential.
- While evidence shows strong safety practices at many locations and recent positives, there are occasional reports of illness, which highlights that cross-contamination risk still exists if protocols slip.
