Symptomatic Celiac

Review


The staff were very knowledgeable about celiac and had a gf menu. When I ordered, the cashier called back to the kitchen "gf coming through" which helped me to feel confident that my meal was safe. BUT, the sauces were not safe. The cashier listed 1 sauce that was not gf, and I didn't eat that sauce. However, I ate the other sauces and ended up having a reaction. I then looked at their online menu and saw that many of their sauces are not confirmed gluten free because they "may have soy sauce that contains gluten". I do recommend eating here, but be careful with the sauces.

Read the gf menu here first. They may not have one at the register and the line grows fast.

Maybe the best gf place AND the best BBQ I’ve had. Ever. Just finished my 2nd meal here and very impressed. Their gf protocol is stellar. Change gloves. Dedicated fryer. Most things naturally gf. So lots of choices. I’m a fan.

First thing is first. The food is absolutely incredible. I ate the pulled pork, the spare ribs, and the brisket, and all of it was delicious. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about gluten sensitivity, changing gloves and providing a gluten free menu. Go here. Go here now.

Always great, never had an issue here and I've eaten at this Mission BBQ probably a dozen times. Brisket, jalapeno sausage, and coleslaw are fantastic!

Staff was very knowledgeable about celiacs disease and took the necessary precautions. Alerted kitchen about my order immediately and after. “Pun?” The kitchen guy made sure my order was correct and used a safe cutting board for my brisket... so far so good. Will update later if I get sick! Otherwise 5 stars!!!! We will be back!

They have a gluten free menu. I didn't ask if they had a dedicated fryer (forgot and just trusted them). Ordered gluten free ribs and french fries. No reaction. I forgot which sauce has gluten (most are gluten free). Personally, I prefer getting takeout and using the BBQ sauces I have at home. You don't get charged extra for gluten free. Service and food is wonderful.

This is my second visit to Mission in 6 months. I don't recall what I ordered in December bit it didn't bother me. This trip I ordered the smoked hamburger without a bun (no gf option) with mashed potatoes. This will be a regular visit when I'm in DE.
