🍽️ What you can eat here

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

✅ Reported safe options

  • Fries (plain) and fries labeled as gluten-free; some reviewers note waffle fries as GF, with cautions about fryer use.
  • Brisket (often ordered plain) with apple BBQ sauce; sauces are frequently described as GF in several accounts.
  • Enchiladas and other items described as GF in multiple reviews.
  • Coleslaw, baked beans, mashed potatoes, and BBQ carrots listed among GF sides in some accounts.
  • Sauces and condiments claimed to be gluten-free in a number of reports; however, one review cautions that not all sauces are GF.
  • Gluten-free buns for sandwiches are mentioned by several reviewers as available at times.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk remains a concern.
  • Reports range from clear examples of safe experiences to incidents of gluten exposure, often tied to sauces, buns, or miscommunication.
  • Some accounts describe dedicated fryers or careful staff knowledge, while others indicate inconsistent awareness or labeling.
  • Sensitivity to sauces and the possibility of gluten in seemingly GF items suggests that careful, explicit verification with staff is essential on each visit.
