Not entirely impressed. They put cornbread on our food and had to remake the Entire order because of this. The ribs were so salty we couldn’t finish and they gave us old BBQ sauce that was separated and smelled bad. I didn’t get sick but if my husband hadn’t of noticed the cornbread I would have gotten sick.

Amazing experience! Staff was so kind , considerate, and knowledgeable. Excellent service 👌 Fryer is only for the fries so as someone with Celiac I could enjoy them! Brisket was delicious, even lean cut was so moist and wonderful. Vast array of gluten-free sauces to choose from at your table. Environment clean and inviting. Cafeteria style ordering.

There is a gluten free menu available. I ordered brisket. The brisket was the only thing on the plate. I mentioned that I had celiac when I ordered and asked them to please change their gloves. Before finishing the meal, I could tell that I had definitely been contaminated. Every part of my body feels it. 😔

There’s a sizable GF menu—including baked beans, and the prices were amazing. The staff was super knowledgeable and helpful in making sure there wasn’t any cross contamination. There wasn’t any GF buns/bread/cornbread but the food was delicious regardless.

Ate here yesterday with no issues. Told them I was celiac and they changed gloves and cleaned workstation. Fryer is just used for fries. I have a Nima gluten sensor and fries and pork tested gluten free. I didn’t try any sauces but they say two are GF. This morning no symptoms of being glutened.

I ordered pulled chicken, fries and coleslaw and only used 2 of the sauces listed on the GF menu. I had the worst gluten reaction I have ever had. I love the idea of this restaurant but their food was not good enough to be worth a night of horrible things later. Probably cross contamination so order with caution.

Wow! Food is spectacular. Choice of sauces on the table that are all GF except 1. But the concept of honoring America by stopping at noon to stand for the flag as the National Anthem plays was something special. Decor brought in from locals who served our country in military or 1st responders.

Visited here while traveling to Nashville Opryland area & visited because this app stated it was a gluten free option. This is a counter service restaurant. The cashier that took our order seemed impatient that we needed some time to look at the menu as we’ve never eaten here. We explained to her our daughter was celiac & we needed a gf menu. Daughter ordered a half rack of baby back ribs & the green beans from the gf menu. The cashier shouts the order to the kitchen & said gluten free. Food was not marked as gluten free. Daughter loved her meal BUT!!! had a bad reaction after eating here & was incredibly sick a few hours after eating the bbq. Therefore - I do not recommend for celiacs as I do not think they take precautions to ensure it’s gluten free or safe from cross contamination.

Delicious!!! We had the spare ribs, moist brisket, pulled chicken, jalepeno cheese sausage, brisket green beans, and French fries (dedicated fryer!!). All sauces are gluten free with the exception of one. My favorite was the Memphis flavor! All was delicious! We had plenty to take back to the hotel. Definitely just let them know you have celiac!!

Delicious brisket. Was nervous about using the sauces and ketchup due to CC, but I took the top off to try to avoid that. Haven’t had barbecue since the diagnosis, and was very grateful not to have a reaction.

This place is a must go for celiac’s( I am very sensitive) , the manager asked me if I had been there before and I said I haven’t. She broke down each sauce (5/6 of them are gluten free) and explained their process of making the food and everything is made fresh every morning. Awesome gluten free menu to pick from, I ordered brisket and fries and I haven’t been able to find a trust worthy bar b q place in about a year. I highly recommend this place to any celiacs as well as people who are not sensitive to wheat or gluten.

Ate here on a quick trip to Nashville based on reviews from this site. Place was super clean, staff was great and food was fast and yummy. We ended up eating here the next day too. First day they accidentally put cornbread on my plate, but as soon as I started to comment they took the tray and replaced with all new minus the cornbread. Pulled pork and FRENCH FRIES! Yum. Son who also can't eat gluten enjoyed trying all (minus one that isn't gfree) the bbq sauces. No one had issues either meal.

I'm mildly obsessed with this place. FINALLY someplace I can eat real food when we go out to a movie. The pulled pork is amazing. The fries are gluten free (Yaaaaay!) Just tell them no corn bread- ask them to make it gluten free. They will change their gloves etc. They always do a great job and make me feel like they care. I eat here all the time. Honestly the portions are so huge that my fiancé and I end up splitting a meal sometimes!

They had a dedicated GF menu. When I told them I have Celiac they instantly pulled out the menu and explained everything on it including which sauce wasn’t ok for me to have (it was only 1).

Upon ordering the staff called back and stated each item was for gluten free. Extremely knowledgeable staff and I did not get sick!

Amazed as we watched the prep chef wash his hands, the scale and prep area. Read the other reviews because they are right. Fall of the bone ribs you couldn't cut with a knife because it too tender.
