Review of Texas Jacks Barbecue

This could have been a disaster, but it all ended up okay in the end.

We went on a Friday night around 8 for dinner. Our waitress seemed newer and while she initially seemed to know what was GF and not after I told her I had a “gluten allergy” and asked her to walk me through the memo, when I asked about the potato salad she wasn’t sure. She said she’d check, and brought out our drinks. Then…she disappeared from serving us. A new server came out and said “(name) had to go, I’ll be taking care of you.” But she didn’t have to go….she was in the restaurant the rest of the time she was there. The new server didn’t appear to have been told about my gluten allergy, and when I informed him and tried to order, he told me that both the sides I intended to order (baked beans and Brussels sprouts) were NOT gluten free, which is the opposite of what the waitress said. Out of caution I asked him to double check everything was safe with the chef. I did not get sick and the meat was great, but the experience was not a very fun one. Also — they did confirm the potato salad as GF and thank goodness bc it was DELICIOUS.
