🍽️ What you can eat here

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

  • Pulled pork
  • Brisket
  • Beef ribs
  • Pork ribs
  • Baked beans
  • Fried potatoes (fryer must be gluten-free)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Cross-contact risk exists, as with many BBQ concepts. Staff attention to gloves and separate prep areas is highlighted in several accounts, including notes about designated fryers in some reports and the importance of asking questions.
  • A few recent experiences report missteps, such as bread appearing on a gluten-free plate or sauce components that needed confirmation, underscoring that not every dish is guaranteed GF without explicit checks.
  • Some menu items (e.g., cracklings seasoned with malt or sauces with soy components) are flagged by guests as potential non-GF items; verification with staff is advised.
  • Overall, the tone from many diners is that the kitchen takes gluten-free needs seriously, and most safety barriers (glove changes, GF buns, GF sauces, dedicated fryers in certain cases) are in place, but there are occasional lapses.
