What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- All smoked meats and sauces are gluten-free. This includes common barbecue staples like beef brisket, pulled pork, pork spare ribs, Texas-style sausage, bone-in chicken, and pulled chicken.
- Explicit gluten-free sides and salads (examples seen on the menu):
- Cucumber Salad (gluten free)
- Texas Baked Beans (gluten free)
- Coleslaw (gluten free)
- Esquites - Mexican Street Corn (gluten free)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists at some level.
- A diner report notes that wings can be fried in a commingled fryer, which presents a cross-contact concern for very sensitive individuals.
- Inconsistent labeling on the menu is possible; several diners mentioned that GF items aren’t always marked, though staff frequently identify safe options and confirm safety with the kitchen.
