Barbecue Restaurant
670 Higuera St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free fries (often prepared in a dedicated fryer or with precautions noted by staff)
- Gluten-free chicken tenders / chicken strips
- Gluten-free corn pie (a frequently praised side)
- Gluten-free sandwich buns/rolls available for some menu items
- Gluten-free sauces and dressings (e.g., BBQ sauce, ranch) used with conscientious prep
- Generally, meats like tri-tip and pulled pork are treated as safe in many reports when not paired with bread
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a possibility.
- Some past feedback mentions caution about bread being present on some orders, and a minority of reviews question the level of cross-contact precautions. A few diners report experiences implying higher risk, while many others describe strong precautions and successful avoidance of gluten.
- Given the mix of reports, there is meaningful risk if you do not confirm current practices at the time of your visit.
