Old Slo BBQ Co.

Great casual spot! I got the plate and they were flexible on swapping out bread and knowledgeable about how to handle Celiac. Sweet potato fries were especially good :)

I have eaten here 3 days in a row because it’s that good. Staff seems super knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. The chicken tenders were BOMB and I did not feel sick after eating. We have tried the tritip, chicken tenders, beans and corn pie and everything has been delicious!

Not safe from cross contamination. Talked to the chef and they make the barbeque in the same area as the bread apparently? No mention of gloves or any kind of knowledge about cross contamination.

I was told at the window that although they don't have a gluten free menu, everything there is gluten free with the exception of the sandwich bread and dessert. Fingers crossed 🤞 😊

Good place. Everything is GF except the bread. I got a BBQ chicken salad, it was good though not among the best I’ve ever had. Perhaps salads aren’t their specialty.

Plates without the bread are gluten free! No labeling and not totally sure of procedures but I felt fine after. Unclear on whether all the sides were gluten free or not.

Not really visible on the menu marquee but everything is gf except the bread as others have reviewed, and they asked me if it was a presence or allergy. Great tri tip, crunchy fries, and nice slaw with cucumbers and a little spice.

It's such a relief to have so many choices at a restaurant! When I told the cashier I had celiac, they were knowledgable about the menu and options. The cook even came over and made sure there was an allergy note on my order. Everything on the menu was GF (except the garlic bread). I got the GF chicken tenders and fries-- the breading was crunchy and flavorful, and the fries were so good! I had a few bites of my friend's tri-tip, and the seasoning, smoke, and tenderness were amazing. I didn't try any of the beer/cider, but they had a few GF options there too. Outdoor space is also clean, plenty of tables. Really great!

Amazing experience!! Got the GF chicken strips and fries, a plate with pulled pork, coleslaw and garlic bread. Didn’t love the garlic bread as we think it was a hot dog bun. Went back for a side of the Corn Pie which is way more worth it!!!

Overall, totally suggest the pulled pork plate with coleslaw and corn pie. The chicken tenders were great but there’s obviously better meat out there.

Note: menu is not marked GF. We got there trusting this website and everything we read on here was correct and the staff was very knowledgeable. It was an order at the counter type place!

Had a fabulous meal here! People working were super friendly and knowledgeable about GF and Celiacs (one workers mom has Celiacs as well). Our kids could pick anything on the menu.. even the garlic bread can be made GF (and it is completely different looking than the regular garlic bread). We tried all 3 meat plates- tri tip, chicken, and pulled pork- all with fries, beans and garlic bread! Great meal, super nice people! Glad we went here!

Really excellent tri-tip and I’ve eaten my share over the years. Had the corn pie (GF) and beans as my sides and I was a bit disappointed in those, but I was here for the meat so it was not an issue. Would definitely come back when in the area again

California bbq style, really good sauce, excellent corn pie. The coleslaw lacked flavor I would try another side or salad next time. No gf bread but all the other sides are gf - corn pie, fries, beans, coleslaw. Walk up order window with seating outside and now that the pandemic restrictions are lifted, inside as well.

All GF just not the bread. This is an order at the window restaurant. Very good food!

When I asked about gluten free, they asked if I had an allergy or was celiac? When I told them I was celiac, they told me that I could have everything but the bread. They changed out their gloves and used a special cutting board. Absolutely awesome experience!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The tri tip is super money, don’t know why my friends always take me to firestone, I’m deF changing to this spot. Gluten free fries and the corn pie is gluten free as is the bbq sauce. Bbq sauce is perfect and staff is very friendly!

Love this place..... everything is GF except the buns.... they will change gloves too . All sides are GF including the fries. Delicious food and I will be back here again!

Great food! EVERYTHING is GF except for the bread. Keep in mind, GF takes longer as they have to stop and use different utensils and handling. Apparently the owners mom is celiac. Very good find.

I’m Celiac. Everything is pretty much gf except for bread/buns. One of staff is Celiac and walked me through menu. Not a huge menu but a nice little find in downtown SLO. Food is great and reasonably priced. Dedicated fryer & kitchen space.
