Lots of gluten free options at Bad Brad’s. They have a thorough allergy list where they indicate both the presence of gluten and gluten contact. This made ordering very easy. All meat and most sides are safe. Mostly need to avoid the appetizers as the fryer is shared. Waiter was very aware of options and indicated gluten allergy on my order. As soon as he put in the order, the manager came by to reassure me that each item I ordered was truly gluten free (she even explained that they make the cornbread with cornmeal) and that the kitchen would put on fresh gloves for my order.

Food was good, service was great. Was very nice to not feel stressed about eating out!

Gluten free menu, with indication of whether gluten free items are subject to gluten contact. Server was not 100% familiar with celiac but did notify kitchen of gluten issue.

Haven’t been here since before my diagnosis. So glad I came back!

I love that they have a menu that shows any dishes with or without gluten and which items may have cross contact with gluten.

The server was very aware of what I told her about my celiac and allergies.

I was able to eat a delicious meal with no issues: Pulled pork, beef brisket sliced, collard greens and broccoli. All their meats are gluten free along with their sauces.

Their cornbread and beans are gluten free too but I didn’t try it.

I ordered carry out due to Covid, and I’m always nervous doing this as it’s hard to tell if they are taking me seriously. But had to try based on other ratings here. SO GLAD I DID! The waitress on the phone assured me there is no cross contamination, and seemed to know what that meant - good sign. She also knew which menu items I could NOT eat, and guided me to the safe choices. I had brisket, CORN BREAD, sweet potato mash. Spicy bbq sauce was phenomenal. My hubs had bbq chicken, coleslaw, and the cornbread. It was absolutely delicious!! Every bite was finished, and I normally can’t finish a meal. Did not get even mild stomachache, and I am a human gluten detector. This was definitely a place I will go again!

The food is awesome and staff is generally friendly and helpful, however cross contamination everywhere. They do not specifically have gluten free items, just an allergen list but they can’t guarantee anything like I loved going there but as my celiacs is getting worse I won’t be able to
