This location offers 2 entrees that are GF: hickory smoked chicken and fried catfish. Green beans, corn and mashed potatoes are safe. Salad is fine if no dressing (salad is just lettuce but they said the vinegar used in the salad dressing contains a problem ingredient). Don’t eat the gravy or biscuits. They made a note on our called in order and carefully packed the biscuits separately. So happy my hubby could enjoy Babe’s for Father’s Day and there was something I could eat, too! A later visit, 2024: server discussed the salad dressing with the kitchen and assured me the vinegar used was safe. No problems!
Can have everything but the gravy and biscuits. Roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, and green beans are all excellent. I’ve never had a reaction here, even with the salad. I know some reviews say their salad has gluten but I’ve had a few times now with no issues.

Staff were knowledgeable about what was GF or not. GF menu items were limited, but delicious: smoked chicken, fried catfish (dedicated fryer), mashed potatoes (NOT gravy), green beans, and creamed corn. The salad was NOT GF, nor was the bbq sauce or the amarillo sauce—so bring your own dressing with you if you want it! The smoked chicken was very flavorful and juicy, so it didn’t need any sauce for dipping. Would definitely be back again!
Babes has many sides that are gluten free such as the corn, green beans, and mashed potatoes (no gravy). The sides to avoid are the salad, biscuits, and gravy. The meat that is gluten free is the smoked chicken and fried catfish. The fried catfish is fried in a dedicated gluten free fryer. My daughter has Celiacs and had no issue there.
hello! just wanted to give an update; green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, smoked chicken, and the fried catfish are all gluten free! very good
I eat there often but I don't usually eat the corn. I ate the corn recently and had an attack. I called to inquire if the corn was gluten free and they said yes. Searching the internet it says their grandma's corn has flour. I usually eat catfish, green beans, mash potatoes and salad. Be careful and do your research.
They have a menu which shows what does and doesn’t have gluten and flour. The waitress also gave me separate food since this is more of a family style place where everyone digs in at the table. Two choices of meat and most of the sides, aside from the biscuits, are gluten free. Best BBQ place I’ve been to since I was dx’d with Celiac 8 yrs ago.
