Trail Dust BBQ

This is a great BBQ spot! It is a counter service and seat yourself type of place. We told the order taker of my husband’s allergy, and they assured us that everything is GF other than bread, Mac n cheese, and desserts. The sauces were all labeled GF. Pretty big portions made the price worth it! My husband felt no symptoms after eating, and he is very sensitive. Will return!

Great BBQ. Ribs and brisket are excellent choices. Ask for no bread for GF. Everything except fried items are GF.

Sauces are in bottles and labeled GF. The waitress said that the only foods with gluten are the breads. We split a half rack and 2 sides. They were delicious. We will return when we are in the area.

We ate here for lunch on a weekday and had the special, which was brisket. It was excellent, probably the best, most flavorful brisket I have ever had. They also allowed us to taste the potato salad and Cole slaw before we ordered it. They also allowed me to substitute the beans in the BBQ meal for cole slaw for free, which was a win-win. Make sure to ask for no bread. The BBQ sauce is GF and delicious and the servers were friendly and knowledgeable regarding gluten. I'll definitely come back. Be mindful that there's limited parking.

We have been here a number of times and I have never gotten sick. They do an amazing job making sure there is so cross contamination. We have loved there food so much we even had it for our rehearsal dinner.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I get VERY ill with even the smallest bit of cross contamination, after reading these reviews I wasn't sure I wanted to go here. I called and asked beforehand if their sauces were gluten free, they confirmed yes, with no hesitation. I went in for dinner ordered the regular rib plate, hold the bread that comes with it, beans and a baked potato. I double checked with my server upon ordering and she also confirmed the sauce and any spices/rubs were GF. I walked away after a delicious meal feeling full and never got sick! Not one single symptom and this is 2 days later. Great bbq, service was friendly

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got sick here. I suspected they use a small amount of soy sauce in their sauce, and upon calling, they confirmed this. But...the food was really good before I got my digestive issues. My non-celiac friends will seriously enjoy this place.

Incredible barbecue smoked daily and the sauces are wheat and gluten-free. Get there early because they will run out!(I did a little happy dance when I learned it was OK as this has been a family favorite for many years.) Check with the manager if you have any concerns, he has celiac customers in regularly.
