Review of Pure Grit BBQ

This place is no longer dedicated GF. It’s now run by Hungry House and I’m not sure of the exact set up but it seems like Hungry House offers some Pure Grit options as well as other restaurants’ menus. Because of this, the menu is different and has several obviously gluten-filled items on it like bread, couscous, and lumpia (Filipino spring rolls made with wonton wrappers). I asked the person working the front about if/how they were able to accommodate GF needs and did not feel comfortable at all with her answers. She told me the only gluten item was bread and that it’s kept separately. When I pointed out that there were other gluten-containing ingredients on the menu, specifically I asked about the couscous, she paused and just said “well we don’t have that right now”. I then tried to ask a couple more questions to gauge their safety (like if they would change gloves when preparing a GF meal and pull from fresh bins to avoid cross contact) and she was really dismissive and just kept telling me that the only gluten item was bread - which isn’t true! I unfortunately didn’t feel safe eating here and unfortunately left without ordering. It’s too bad bc Pure Grit was SO GOOD!

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?
