What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- French fries (gluten-free; prepared in a dedicated fryer)
- Meats (pulled pork, brisket, turkey, chicken) described by many guests as gluten-free when prepared with GF protocols
- Gluten-free sauces (most; verify specific sauce status at the table or in the GF menu; the Texas Twang sauce is frequently noted as not GF and should be avoided)
- Gluten-free menu available at the register; staff often guide which sauces are GF and how to avoid cross-contact
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contact can occur if the GF order isn’t clearly communicated or if kitchen procedures aren’t followed. There are multiple reports of glove changes, surface wiping, and kitchen staff being alerted to GF orders, which significantly reduces risk.
- A minority of recent experiences describe incidents where GF orders were not properly communicated or a non-GF item slipped into a GF plate, leading to adverse effects. Given the volume of positive reports, these remain exceptions rather than the rule.
- To minimize risk: request the GF menu, clearly tell the staff you have a GF requirement, ask that gloves be changed and surfaces wiped, and confirm which sauces are GF before eating.
