Poogan's Smokehouse

I had ribs, cole slaw and potato salad. Our waitress, Morgan was great. The ribs were somewhat fatty, I’d get the pulled pork if I went again. The cole slaw was very good. Potato salad was okay, very eggy. All meats were GF. Only other side I could have had was brocolli.

Overall pretty good experience! The restaurant was cute. Very typical BBQ- good but nothing to shout home about. The menu is not marked and i was directed to the online menu to look for GF markings. All the meats are GF as are all the sauces, the mustard based sauce was my favorite. Online the house chips are marked GF but I had a suspicion so I asked the waiter to check with the kitchen and that was incorrect! Nothing fried is safe for GF peeps. I got the two meat platter with ribs and pulled pork with collard greens and potato salad. It initially came out with a huge slab of cornbread on the tray (this was also not marked on the menu) and the waiter admitted he forgot to mark down my gluten allergy. I kindly sent the tray back and a manager came out with gloves and a brand new tray with new food and was very understanding and accommodating which was nice. It was a good overall experience and I would eat here again. Mind blowing? No. Good? Yes!

Typical BBQ restaurant and the waitress was pretty knowledgeable. We had the nachos with pulled chicken and some drinks, but there were plenty of options we could have had.

Not bad. Nothing labeled but I asked about the meats, sides and sauces. Hard to believe that don’t have beans at a BBQ joint! It was ok, been to way better BBQ.

No separate menu and gf items were not marked on the menu. But the waitress was amazing and new all the gf options. All meats are gf. Limited sides are gf. She told me only broccoli and collard greens were gf. Fried were made in same fryer. One sauce contained gluten and she clearly pointed it out. Ever tho I was very straight forward about my gluten free needs, they still served a roll on my plate. I didn't know the meal came with it or I would have specifically requested without it.

I got that quarter chicken, collard greens and broccoli. The chicken and collard greens were amazing! My husband got the ribs which was soooo good.

I had the pulled pork & potato salad and had no issues! Used lots of sauce 🤣 and the pork was absolutely delicious. They do not have a lot of GF sides (chips/fries are marked GF online but are NOT GF, they use the same fryer!) so I actually had to get double potato salad 😂 But the portions are huge so I only ate one. I would eat the BBQ here again, so good.

Server was knowledgeable. All meats, rubs, and sauces are GF. Potato salad, slaw, collared greens delicious and GF. Possibly the best tasting potato salad I’ve ever eaten! I would come back just for that.

We stopped here on the previous reviews and were told all their rubs have gluten. For us with 2 celiac this wasn’t an option so we had to leave. The food looked awesome but not safe for our family.

Shared a 3 meat plate with smoked sausage, wings, and pulled pork. I'm not gf, but my wife is, and it does come with bread on the platter, so be cautious. Fries are gf and were very good. Wings were really good, sausage was good, pork was dry.
