Urban Roots Brewery & Smokehouse

Their BBQ meats are GF and excellent but there isn’t much choice beyond that. There are a couple of sides that are GF. They refuse to get buns that are GF so that folks can have sandwiches. It’s 2023 folks - why? Stay away from the fries. They have a coating of very much NOT GF - sad because they’re delicious. Wish they’d get more with the times.

Called ahead because we were going with a large group and read mixed reviews on here. On the phone they mentioned that they have a rotating menu and some meats may have rubs/glaze that has gluten, so make sure to call ahead and ask. When we went all of the meats were gluten free, and gluten free sides were marked on the menu. They were nice and even subbed corn tortillas for bread on our order. All in all, everything was good and didn’t get sick.

I thought the food was okay, not great despite my experience, and about thirty minutes into the meal I started to feel off. When I got home things got worse and I’m pretty sure I was exposed to gluten. Don’t think its safe for celiac

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff friendly and plenty of places to sit. Brisket fries are the best and GF

Staff were SO friendly Love that the GF options were marked on the menu. Two ciders and several wine available. Downside is the price. $20 for the brisket plate and from what I can tell it’s CAFO meat, not local/ethically raised. However, I will most definitely be back.
