Food is tasty but not 100% confident about the safety. I’ve also had the cornbread being put on my plate after asking for GF only, like others here.

A savory experience in a spacious restaurant! Would recommend.

I am enormously sensitive and had no reaction at all. The staff was knowledgeable about celiacs' needs and helped with the gluten-free menue. As other reviews mentioned to have experienced cross-contamination, I asked them to take extra care and they assured me they would. And everything went just fine.

I had a "Combo Plate" to try out their variety of meats. And it was a great choice. A real barbecue fest!

My favorites were the ribs (so savory and tasty!) and the beans (tasted simply delicious!).

The pulled pork and coleslaw were good. The brisket just slightly tough but still good and tasty.

Staff was a little slow when it came to taking the order and processing the bill but food arrived very promptly (the venue was not highly occupied though).

I'd definitely come back.

Note , same as others have said. Service waas good. They work on autodrive in the kitchen apparently. Even when you mention gluten free, they still put the cornbread on top of your meat. We were there at opening time 4pm, with no crowd, and my wife who is gluten intolerant, asked for no cornbread, remove it from the order. And she still got cornbread on top of her meat. Server did not pick up on it eitBBQ. . Overall, good bbq. We used to go to the one in Rochester before my wife's diagnosis, so we're not sure if they had gf options.

Unfortunately got sick here. I've been before with no issues, but this time (as many of the other reviews say) my plate came out with cornbread. I asked if it was GF and she said no, said they would "replate" my dinner. I think they may have just removed the bread and sent it back out.

I think this can be safe but you have to be super vigilant.

Had a separate GF menu and all of their BBQ sauces were GF as well.

I had the ribs and brisket with greens, coleslaw and baked beans. It was all delicious and hit the spot. Our server knew what to do when I said I was GF. They typically bring out the platter with corn bread on it and we double checked and she said they wouldn’t be since I said I was GF.

Felt great after eating here and would recommend!

Gluten free menu but got glutened by the wings. May have been the sauce - try them dry rubbed to be safe.

Their GF menu had many good options. They brought my food with a piece of cornbread on it (the cornbread is not GF), but when I asked the waiter about it he was very apologetic and they remade it. The food, especially the sausage, was delicious. I did not get sick.

Delicious BBQ for Brooklyn, very good bar, never had any cross contamination issues. The key, as usual, let them know if you are celiac. Manager brings out plate which is different than a general diners plate.

GF menu is available. Staff not super knowledgable but aware and helpful for food allergies and celiac. My daughter had the honey chicken wings and was fine. The dinner plates seem to come with a piece of corn bread. I didn't get a chance to ask if it was GF or not. Corn bread was not specifically listed on the Gf menu. So make sure to confirm to avoid sending a plate back. Hoisin chicken wings are listed on the GF menu which surprised me since hoisin sauce is typically not GF.

This place was great! They have a separate GF menu, wait staff is very knowledgeable about GF and allergy prep. Many items are naturally GF and GF plates I was told are prepped separately. My meal came out on a different plate that they keep separate for GF meals and brought to the table separately by the manager. The only problem was that the food looked so delicious I immediately began to consume it before taking a photo.

I attended an event catered by this restaurant that was supposed to have several gluten free options. Unfortunately they immediately cross contaminated several of the options and even in sides I found gluten noodles. It seems like their catering is not up to snuff and as a result I got very sick.

I had the 1/4 rack of baby back ribs with the cucumber tomatoes salad and BBQ beans as sides. It was delicious!! I made sure to let Jenn know I was celiac and they verified when the food was delivered it was gf. No reaction to it. I wish I lived nearby because I would be back!

This is a must stop if you’re in Buffalo! The food is incredible and even better, they really understand celiac and have so many safety precautions in place. Ask for a gluten free menu when you’re being seated. There are so many choices for gluten free. Personally, I think everyone should try the applesauce - it’s homemade and honestly tastes like apple pie. Gluten free food gets flagged for the kitchen, they wash their hands, switch their gloves and serve food on a red colored plate. Celiacs can definitely eat here safely and enjoy fantastic bbq!!!
