What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Meats (GF in most cases): pulled pork, brisket, chicken, turkey, sausage options noted as GF in many reports.
- Fries: hand-cut fries, typically fried in a dedicated GF fryer.
- Sauces: most BBQ sauces are GF, with Texas Twang commonly identified as not GF in several accounts.
- Sides commonly GF (verify per location): green beans, coleslaw, baked beans.
- Gluten-free menu: a GF menu is available at the register or online; staff are generally described as knowledgeable about GF options and cross-contact precautions.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The chain is not dedicated GF, so cross-contact remains a theoretical risk, even with noted precautions.
- A few recent experiences report sickness or gluten exposure despite precautions. This underscores the importance of explicitly communicating your GF needs, verifying with staff, and watching for any non-GF items inadvertently included (e.g., cornbread).
- Overall, with careful ordering and explicit GF instructions, many diners with celiac disease report safe outcomes.
