This was a great find! Very knowledgeable and helpful service. I had a barbecue pork sandwich with a gf bun (+$2). All the sauces were gf. The house sauce was so good, we bought two bottles to take home. I was assured they changed gloves and cleaned the prep area well. Small place, outdoor seating that's dog friendly, and take out. We would definitely go back.

The waitress was super helpful, told me exactly what I could have on the menu and marked my order GF so they would change their gloves when handling the meats!

Excellent food and so many gf options. Avoid anything fried, mac and cheese and regular buns and everything else is gf. They even have a gf bun as an option.

All of the meats and sauces are gluten free. For sides- red/vinegar based cole slaw, green beans, potato salad and salad are gluten free and they sell Udi rolls.

We have been coming for years getting a large order to go. We have always had great experiences and have never gotten sick after eating here.

Update (2022) visited again and finally was able to get ribs. They tend to run out regularly. And I know why because they are AWESOME! Very tender and tons of flavor. I also had green beans which were very good! Definitely lots of options here.

(2021) Excellent brisket, pork bbq and chicken (all GF). Sauces are great too (also GF). We were really hoping to get ribs but they were out. Some of the sides are gluten free. I got potato salad and cole slaw and wasn’t really impressed with either of those but that may just have been my taste.

We ate there and not impressed with the menu, just gluten free buns for additional charge. None of the sides except side salad were gluten free. No separate fryer, most of the food is deep fried.

Gluten free/friendly buns available and staff were able to answer all our questions. There was some question about the availability of a dedicated fryer when I asked, but they were very busy. Since we didn’t need to answer that particular question for our orders, I didn’t press it. Bonus: delicious BBQ. Probably not much in the way of vegetarian options, but 3 of us ate GF-friendly very well and safely.

Staff was somewhat aware of food allergies and Celiac but mainly relied of manager who was not present. Needs more training. I personally did not have problem on food served. I played it safe with ribs potato salad.

At our visit in April 2019 they said they do not have a dedicated fryer. My Celiac kiddo ended up with a bellyache the first time we ate there but didn't think it was this restaurant, we thought it was a separate food allergy issue. After a subsequent visit he had undeniable tummy troubles, so I suspect there was cross contamination. Sad, because we all enjoyed the food.
