The Smokin' Oak

Came due to the good reviews. GF items are marked on the menu but the server warned me all the items are prepared in the same place, same tools, etc. and so nothing was celiac-safe and she recommended I don’t eat there.

There are several things gf here. Obviously not the Mac & cheese and they have a shared fryer. They are pretty good about modifying things so I can eat them and I’ve never gotten sick eating here. The seasonal cheesecakes are made by a gal with celiac, so they are definitely gf!

The best bbq joint I’ve ever been to in the PNW, and I can’t believe most of their menu is gluten free! The brisket I had was so SO SO good, it was so soft and tasty - cooked to perfection. The pinto beans was delish and loved the meat pieces in there, and the potato salad was served in a cute mason jar (it was decent but probably wouldn’t get it again). I also had the picked beets and it was pretty good. They have this huckleberry infused vodka drink that tastes so good I had two without even thinking twice about it. Nice to have a bbq place that is true to its southern roots but also accommodates to GF folks!

The sausage is not GF. Wife has celiac and they changed up the supplier. She got sick

Love that their bbq sauces and rubs are all gluten free which means that we can eat all their meat!!!! Yay! So yummy! Their menu is very well labeled so you can tell which sides are GF but there are only a few. Hope they improve on that soon. Other than that, two thumbs up.👍🏾👍🏾 Food is always great and I never get sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Although there were no gluten free buns or marked dishes, waitress confirmed sauce was gluten free. I had the half chicken with cole slaw and potato salad. Everything was delicious and very filling. Tried my boyfriend's Texas Trio and the sausage was the best sausage I've ever had. We will be back for sure!!
