Buddy's Bar-B-Q

Buddy’s was catered at my brokerage the other day. I ate the smoked chicken(great flavor), pulled pork (chopped up a little too finely but still good flavor) with bbq sauce, potato salad and beans. Everything was pretty dang good and I had no reaction! Yay for buddy’s bbq!

How would you rate the taste and quality of the gluten-free food you tried?

— Good

Buddy's is pretty good, but it does NOT have dedicated fryers. The fries are not gluten free and they screwed up my order about 30% of the time that I used to go there (once or twice a week for 3 years). Their staff is unknowledgable about gluten sensitivities. I ordered 1/2 a chicken dinner with gluten free sides and told them I had coeliac disease. There were hush puppies in with the chicken. This happened twice in a row. This place is NOT coeliac friendly, but I would definitely recommend this place to people that do not have gluten issues though.

Celiac friendly?

No

I was invited for lunch and unsure of my ability to eat here safely. I can't find anything online so I called their main office and spoke with Laura in catering. She assured me that everything in the restaurants are GF, minus the obvious: buns, hush puppies, cookies, pie...We discussed sauces and seasoning and again she understood and confirmed all was GF.I ordered the pork dinner with potato salad and baked beans. I asked for no bun or hush puppies. It's set up like a fast food place so the cashier puts in the order via a microphone. My food was ready in no time and I received what I requested. I enjoyed Everything besides the beans. I felt they were mushy and bland but I ate them anyway. 😊 I had no reaction whatsoever. A couple of days later, I took the kids, as they are GF as well. Wanted to try something new. My daughter and I both ordered the Hawgback fries with pork. A little spicy but still tasty. My son ordered the pork plate, baked beans and fries. Meals were good and no reaction!! Family if 3 eats for $24 with drinks. Yay!!
