What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Potato salad (explicitly noted as gluten-free in multiple accounts)
- Baked potatoes (often used as a GF-friendly base with meat toppings)
- Baked beans (explicitly mentioned as gluten-free in several notes)
- BBQ sauces (explicitly labeled gluten-free in reports)
- Most of the meats are gluten-free, with the notable exception of pulled pork in some reviews
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there’s inherent cross-contamination risk if bread, buns, or gluten-containing items come into contact with meat prep areas.
- Pulled pork is frequently cited as not GF in some reports, so it’s a key item to avoid if avoiding gluten entirely.
- Creamed corn and some other sides have been flagged as potentially containing gluten in certain reports; confirm current recipes and preparation methods with staff.
- Positive signs include glove changes, fresh cutting boards, separate prep for some orders, and readily available allergen information. Several diners credit staff with taking extra steps to minimize cross-contact when asked.
