⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which inherently increases cross-contamination risk for some patrons.
- There is no dedicated fryer, so gluten-containing items could contaminate fried foods if prepared in shared oil.
- Pulled pork is indicated as not gluten-free in some discussions, and some sauces (e.g., spicy BBQ sauce) may not be GF.
- While staff have been described as knowledgeable and willing to take precautions, experiences vary, and not every item is guaranteed GF.
- A mix of recent positive notes and occasional negative reports means individual experiences can differ, and strict celiac safety cannot be universally guaranteed.
