What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Meats: All meats are described as gluten-free by customers, including brisket and sausage varieties. If you’re choosing meat as your main, you’re in a safer zone.
- How to order safely: Tell staff about your gluten-free needs at the counter and request that gluten-containing components be omitted (e.g., Texas toast). Some reviewers specifically mention asking to hold bread and noting that the team can mark GF on orders.
- Non-GF items to avoid (explicitly noted in collected notes): mac and cheese, Texas toast, and desserts are highlighted as not gluten-free.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists. This matters most if you are highly sensitive or have had reactions in similar settings.
- Historical notes include examples where bread or bread-containing items were served with GF dishes, or where non-GF sides were present on a tray. While recent feedback is more positive, these past incidents underscore the importance of clear communication at order time.
- The strongest current signal comes from recent diners who report successful experiences with GF meals when they explicitly remind staff and when staff actively mark GF orders.
