This is a tough review because our server was lovely, and helpful; place had a great vibe and extensive beverage menu. and the food was really quite good. They had a gluten free menu, too, and we were thrilled, but this Celiac was very sick after ordering off that menu, so something went wrong...

Staff very knowledgeable and they have a dedicated fryer so their tortilla chips are actually gluten free! Great gf selection. I had the pulled pork nachos and they were excellent!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waitress was great and willing to help but their thought process is that you can cook the gluten out of things. I ended up with plain steak. They have a dedicated fryer but the recommended "gluten free" items had bourbon cooked in them.. Again, staff was great but would not recommended for people with celiac or gluten intolerance.

No

Yes

Our server seemed very knowledgeable about Celiac and allergies in general, and I felt comfortable that she was taking good notes on my order - adult beverage order with a known gluten free vodka (Tito’s) vs the shelf brand, gluten-free sides including sweet potato fries in dedicated fryer, and no cornbread which automatically comes with many orders there. I enjoyed everything and would definitely go back!

Smoked wings with Blue cheese and ranch dressing. Also sauces on side:hot, bourbon bqq & Sweet chili thai. Nice smoke flavor and decent value for $. No reaction either gluten or histamine, so clean and fresh. Wish they would expand the offerings on gluten free. GF Menu photos in photos.

Very GF friendly and many options. They do have a dedicated fryer but I was clearly told by their kitchen that fries are not a safe option. Their sauces are all GF and the ribs were amazing.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

very accommodating to gluten allergy

No gluten free menu but the chef communicates with the waitstaff on what can be made gf. It’s a BBQ and Bourbon joint. All of the meats are gf as are all the sauces. Several appetizers are gf, including the burnt ends (without the plantain chips), and the nachos- both were really really good! They have a dedicated gf fryer for French fries and the like. They also have corn tortillas to sub in for flour tortillas! The food was pretty good too! We split the “pick 3” meats with 2 sides and got chicken, brisket and smoked sausage with a side of cheddar smashed potatoes and apple slaw- definitely more than enough for 2 people. I’ll definitely go again and I’ll try something different!
