⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not labeled as a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contact remains a fundamental risk in any high-traffic BBQ setting.
- Most recent evidence shows structured precautions (GF menu, staff callouts, glove changes, dedicated fryer for fries, and surface sanitation), but there are occasional reports of mishaps or questions about ingredient safety, highlighting that vigilance at every step remains important.
- Some reviews mention gluten-containing ingredients slipping into a GF order (e.g., cornbread being added or not fully separated in certain moments). Clear instruction to staff and verification at pickup can mitigate this risk.
- If you have additional allergies beyond gluten, be aware that the available evidence focuses heavily on gluten safety; verify any other ingredients with staff as needed.
