They offered me a gluten free menu. They state clearly that there is a possibility of cross contamination but I ordered a hamburger and my buns where changed for gluten free ones. There are many delicious options. Glad the staff was conscious and very kind. Definitely recommend.

The friers are cross contaminated. The server was very nice in going and asking the kitchen about the safety to know what we could order. This was very nice.

Excellent! Really good GF burger buns! Dedicated French fry fryer. Ate the whole thing. Did not have any problems. We have eaten here on several occasions and have been without cross contamination each time.

Their gluten free menu us not actually gluten free. Their fryer is shared with everything, so they fries were not safe. The server was knowledgeable, but my son was very disappointed.

I had bbq chicken and ribs. Just wish the ribs were more tender but overall it was good. I had a few questions and waiter was helpful in finding answers.

Food was decent. Lots of options. Not just bbq. Mexican food and burgers too. More of a bar and grill atmosphere. Service was nice and made up for it being slow.

UPDATE: We went again and I had the chicken skillet and was sick when we got back to the hotel. My guess is the skillet it came out on was cross contaminated. It was cast iron and my husband's glutened fajitas were on one just like it.

This place was great. All for their gluten free menu. I had the southwest chicken salad and it was delicious! I did all about the fryers and they're are shared with everything else.

Waitress was not knowledgeable of anything. Fries (shared fryer) are the side w/tacos. I made her remove them. Asked about other sides. She checked w/the kitchen. I ended up w/fish tacos, rice, and beans.

My mom and I (both Celiac) ordered the tacos reynosas. I wasn't expecting too much since it's not a dedicated Mexican restaurant. OMG! The beef was spectacular. They were very authentic street tacos, complete with an adobo taqueria sauce. They came with yummy pinto beans. We also split an order of fries because vacation. I had read on other reviews they have their own fryer. They were really great fries!

I thoroughly enjoy going into T & J's. Good Food, fun atmosphere. My favorite is the Taco Reynosa. Their fry fryer is only used for fries, so please enjoy! I have had the Ribs and burger too. I have never had a problem here. The Staff is always wonderful!

Excellent gluten free menu with a wide selection. The food was amazing! We went back a second time the next night. 4 people in our party were gluten free, and no one got sick. All 9 in our party loved their meals!!

Great service and staff. Manager came and joked with someone in our party wearing one of their shirts.

Staff was knowledgeable. They have a gluten free menu to order from. I double checked to see if the fries were GF and they aren’t. They are in a shared fryer. I had the Baja tacos and a side salad! It tasted fresh and I feel good after eating!

Order baja fish tacos off the gluten sensitive menu. The tacos came out covered in fries. I asked the girl who delivered the food if the fries were gluten free and had a dedicated fryer. She said "yes". I asked her to go check. She never came back. I had to ask our waitress to go check.... they are not gluten free and do not have a dedicated fryer. So, gf community beware.

Gluten friendly menu, but very unknowledgeable waitress. My bacon wrapped shrimp tasted funny and the bacon was not cooked enough. Dedicated fryer did exist after asking the manager.

Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten-friendly foods, and had a pre-printed menu on how to order the items that could be made GF. My son with multiple additional allergies enjoyed a burger in a lettuce wrap (GF buns available, no box/wrapper available to check his other allergies) and fries. Dedicated fryer for fries.

I ate here while on vacation in SPI. I asked for their GF menu and was handed a “Gluten Friendly” sheet that had suggestions of items on the menu that may be ok to eat. They said they do not have a dedicated fryer so I could not have the fries. I did order a burger on a GF bun and baked potato. It was good but beware.
