🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Meats (smoked meats such as brisket, pulled pork, etc.) are reportedly gluten-free.
  • The Cali-gold sauce is described as gluten-free (mustard and honey-based).
  • Potato salad is mentioned as gluten-free in at least one account.
  • Coleslaw is mentioned as gluten-free in a customer note.
  • Beans are mentioned as gluten-free in one account, though there are conflicting notes elsewhere about beans due to BBQ sauce.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
  • Fryer is not dedicated, raising cross-contamination risk for fried items.
  • Some sauces may contain gluten (e.g., Worcestershire-based BBQ sauces may include wheat), though one alternative sauce is described as wheat-free.
  • Menu labeling and allergen information have shown variability over time; recent reviews indicate both strong GF knowledge and ongoing gaps.
