Good food. Undertrained staff. Cross contaminated food (visibly--french fry from a shared fryer in his food that didn't come with fries) with my spouse's meal who is not Celiac but ordered gluten free to share with me. Manager apologized and gave us an amazing GF chocolate cake. Still sketchy. Since I don't have symptoms with cross-contamination, I cannot vouch for safety. Manager agreed that he needed to reiterate safety on the prep line.

Probably an excellent place for GF dieters that are not medically sensitive.

Great meaty options and a staff that is aware of Celiac. Ribs were delicious and many of the grilled items were available for my son who has Celiac.

They have a gluten free menu with great options. Their BBQ and salad dressing are all gluten free. They also have a flourless chocolate cake as well as a sundae.

Overall great experience. Recommend reservations, since this place is popular. We sat outside which was nice because it's pretty boisterous inside. Server was so enthusiastic and attentive, and while he got thrown off a little bit when I asked about gluten-free options (and said I had a wheat allergy) I think it's because like many places they can't guarantee no cross-contamination so their menu is listed" gluten friendly". I ended up getting the pulled pork, smashed sweet potatoes, and baked beans, A. Mojito, also tried some of my family's tri-tip and brisket. Everything was extremely tasty, some of the best barbecue I've had in a long time. Wish they had some more vegetable sides like collard greens, but I guess we're in the west now so what can I say?

Chad was an excellent server! They don’t have a separate GF menu, but the regular menu has markings for Gluten Free, GC (gf but with cross contamination/shared frying oil), nuts and vegan options. Makes it very easy to pick out your best options!

Yes I’ve eaten here a dozen or more times, both take out and in the restaurant. No gluten cross contamination ever or gluten issues ever. I’ve had very detailed conversations with servers, hosts, many times, all of them up to the task of checking ingredients and knowing what gluten is and how to avoid it in your order. Always delicious too. I take out huge variety pack trays for at home dinner parties and guests always write down the name Wood Ranch.
