Barbecue Restaurant

What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Meats and sauces: gluten-free
- Brisket sandwich on a gluten-free bun
- French fries prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer
- Gluten-free Mac and Cheese
- Fried fish with gluten-free batter (and GF preparation)
- Gluten-free hush puppies
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not officially labeled a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists in theory.
- However, multiple recent accounts emphasize strong cross-contamination controls: dedicated GF fryers, glove changes, and staff training on gluten-free handling.
- An older, isolated report mentioned a negative outcome after an interaction where a manager discussed separate fryers but an illness occurred later; this incident is several years in the past and is not consistent with the more recent positive experiences described by many guests.
- Recency matters: the most recent experiences are overwhelmingly positive and specific about GF practices, which mitigates concern but does not eliminate risk entirely for someone with high sensitivity.
