Hickory River Smokehouse

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contamination risk cannot be ruled out, even if many meats and some sauces are gluten-free.
• Some staff experiences indicate variability in knowledge; while many staff are described as knowledgeable and proactive (glove changes, allergen cards), there are also recent reports of confusion or gaps (e.g., fries not being gluten-free).
• Cross-contact precautions appear to be in place in many cases (glove changes, allergy sheets), but there is no universal guarantee across all menu items.
