Waitress was knowledgeable and knew exactly what was GF. She also immediately said they had a separate fryer for fries and tator tots. Bbq sauces were all GF. Brisket was delicious and tator tots were delicious too.

Why have a dedicated GF fryer if you’re going to use it for non-GF items? Can’t call that “dedicated”.

I have to say the wait staff is amazing. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. The food however was just okay. I basically had chicken and a salad. Not side effects, and I am highly sensitive celiac. My husband who eats gluten said his meal was just okay also.

Server was incredibly knowledgeable about what was gluten free. Normally, they have a dedicated GF fryer, but the server knew they had used it to fry regular gluten pickles this morning. I wanted to ask of that means they thoroughly clean it in between oil batches, but didn't. Frustrating.

Amazing! The food tasted so good and the waiter we had was super understanding, they don’t have a specific gluten free menu but most of their options are gluten free by default, the sauces on your table are gluten free, and they use separate fryer’s, they also knew not to give me a paper straw.

I would NOT recommend eating here. Things seemed fine until I was halfway through my coleslaw and found several pieces of pasta in it. We got take-out and the restaurant had closed by the time I ate, so there was nothing to be done.

It seemed like it was going to be a good meal, as all of their BBQ sauces are gluten-free, and they have a dedicated fryer, and my meal ticket had ALLERGY written on it three times. I was so, so upset and disappointed, and now just have to wait the countdown to see how sick I get.

Also, no masks worn by anyone in restaurant.

Our waitress, Abby was very knowledgeable and showed actual excitement on my behalf to tell me about all the gluten free options. They do have a dedicated gluten free fryer but she did tell me that once in a while staff accidentally uses it by mistake but it is noted and reported so that guests know not to eat from the fryer. The food was amazing. I recommend the smoked wings.
