Goode Company BBQ

Really good barbecue food. Was only able to eat the meat and the rice/jambalaya but it was great.

I've eaten food from this place twice. The first time was fine. I got very sick the second time, despite checking with the staff that all of the items we ordered were gluten-free, and that no flours had been added to thicken any sauces that day. They will cut your meats on a separate board using a new knife if you tell them that you are very sensitive to gluten, but as one other reviewer mentioned, there is a lot of potential for cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

They will take out a "new" cutting board and wipe off the knives for you before they hack off your chunk of meat. This is all done in front of you behind some sneeze-guard glass. However, the chef wasn't being all that careful or attentive about what he was touching and where he placed the gluten-covered rag he used to wipe off his station. There are a lot of opportunities for cross-contamination. Also, the food isn't all that great.

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was good, they have a gluten free menu, and they went and prepared my plate in the back with fresh gloves to prevent contamination.

BBQ is very good, slaw and potato salad is casein free as well as gluten free. The sauce taste more like tomato soup than BBQ sauce, my only complaint.

Pretty good BBQ and several meat options for GF but pass on the sides.... Can't be sure they are gf.

I told them I had an allergy and they pulled a clean knife and gloves and a different cutting board.

9/4/2020 update. It is true that they no longer advertise a GF menu, but if you call the hostess or manager will go through your options.

GF items: -Meat: brisket, ribs, sausage, chicken, turkey -Sides: potato salad, cole slaw, pinto beans -BBQ sauce is GF -Beer: Redbridge bottles available

You can ask them to wipe down surfaces and change gloves. Emphasize no jalapeño cheese bread.

The staff always takes good care of me. They change gloves and the cutting boards. You just have to make sure they all change gloves down the line. One of the girls filling my bbq sauce didn’t know and hadn’t changed her gloves and was grabbing the bowls it goes in. As soon as I told her she was very understanding, changed her gloves, and made me new bowls. And the bbq is good. It’s not the absolute best I’ve ever had, but when you’re celiac, you take what you can get. I’ve eaten here multiple times and haven’t had an issue. Even when I called in an order.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable. Delicious meats and sides all safe. Made fresh daily so never had cross contamination. Even have delicious milkshakes!

They no longer have a gluten free menu!

After the link for their GF menu disappeared I called to inquire. I'd give it zero stars if I could. My daughter and I both have celiac disease so we will not be eating there today.
