The smoked meats was good, but I guess we were expecting more from a bbq joint in Texas. The manager was very helpful, and identified all the GF items on the menu for us. We’d eat here again.

This place can be kind of hit or miss but it’s one of the only places I could still eat pretty freely after learning of my celiac disease so I take my chances. Plus my mom always tells me how my grandfather would take her to this exact place for lunch when she was my age so I love the history of it. I don’t suggest this for anyone who isn’t willing to take a chance of getting sick but for the 2.5 years I’ve been eating here, I’ve only been sick maybe twice.

I mistakenly reviewed the wrong location. I haven't eaten gluten free here, but their West End location is great.

Food is amazing! Bread not gluten free but kept away to prevent cross contamination. Not a pretty shiny place but you won't be sorry.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I used to looooove this BBQ place but I dont think its very GF friendly. They do have a GF menu, but I got extremely sick, I think the issue here is cross contamination. Just be weary!! :(

Food is celiac friendly. I am used to St. Louis and Kc style bbq, wasn’t a fan of this bbq except for the brisket and it was delicious. Baked beans are chuck wagon style (think peppers instead of bbq sauce and meat) coleslaw tasted store bought. My friend got the ribs and they were terribly dry. 2 sauce choices the “vinegar based” one tastes like ketchup and mustard mixed together. The original has a pepper Smokey back, mixed together they don’t taste too bad. Brisket can stand alone without sauce

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There is no gluten free menu, although if you want to eat there just stay with the barbecued meats, the sauce they use is gluten free but the rest of the items on their menu are not

We ate here about 3 weeks ago, based on the review that said they have a GF menu. They do not. The manager came out and advised us to stay away from the fried foods if we want to avoid gluten, but could not tell us if any wheat based flavorings were used in the food. We ate at our own risk. Could not say whether it bothered us as we'd had other opportunities to be glutened while traveling. Long story short, be cautious.

The man on the phone told me to not risk eating here if my allergy was severe. I have celiac so I skipped it. They were very informative though. Meats are cut with the same knife that cuts buns and bread. Fries share a fryer with breaded items. BBQ sauce is gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

When we walked in I asked for their GF menu. I was told that my server would help me. I think our server was new because she had no clue what I was talking about. Luckily they had a list of GF items at the waitress station. Warning: their mashed potatoes are gf without the gravy. She was very nice and brought me a new plate without the gravy. The food was good.
