Rivertowne BBQ

I came here excited after reading the reviews but after sitting down I found out the BBQ sauce itself isn’t gluten free. The meat itself is but that was a bummer to find out. They do have a GF menu now

Phenomenal! Staff is so sweet and helpful! Super stoked to have eaten the pulled pork salad w/ maple dressing! Wish I lived in AR so I could try the whole menu. Even the man working at America’s Best Inn raved about you! This Chicago girl is happy and fueled up for the music festival I came for and for that I thank you all! (Gluten free options available)

Ate here lots before my son’s Celiac diagnosis. Stopped in today for the first time since with a family party of 30. There is no GF menu, but they seemed very knowledgeable about the precautions to take to avoid cross-contamination. Ordered half a smoked chicken for my son and asked the server to have everyone change gloves, prepare his plate in a separate area, etc. The manager was kind enough to bring his chicken out first so they could avoid accidentally cross contaminating anything. Great staff. Great food. Only giving 4 stars because there is no official GF menu or dedicated fryer. Give it a try if you’re rolling through Ozark!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I loved this place. The atmosphere is charming and the service was fantastic! The loaded brisket baked potato was one of the best meals I've ever had. I didn't have any reactions to the food. We will definitely be going back any time we are in Arkansas!

Best BBQ in the state. No Gf menu, but most items are Gf if you omit the bread. We've been eating there for years and my sensitive system has not reacted. Under new ownership so things have changed a little... I have eaten twice since the change and reacted to fries. I won't eat them again. Everything else still good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
