Review of NakedQ BBQ

After reading all the great reviews about this place, my wife and I decided to give it a try. My wife has celiac and is very sensitive to cross-contamination. When we arrived, the young man taking our order did not know what celiac meant. That’s always a bad sign. When we explained it was a wheat allergy, he said they have some gluten-free items. When we asked about cross-contamination, he seemed uninformed. When we asked if the food containers in front of him would be where he would serve us from, he said, yes. When we asked if the tongs jutting out of those containers had touched bread, he said yes again. Another gentleman came out from the back and basically gave us the same information. When I said that we couldn’t have any cross-contamination, both of them suggested that this might not be the best place for us to eat. We were visiting from out of town, and as anyone with celiac knows, it is extremely difficult to find a safe place to eat. We walked out foodless and very disappointed. I hope this was simply a matter of a newer staff member, not knowing the correct procedures.
