Sadly, this celiac safe restaurant was sold and torn down
Food was great and I did not get sick after eating there. :)
My son is thirteen and recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease. It's been a difficult adjustment. He loves bandanas. He orders off the gluten free menu as we are still learning. Our family has eaten here a few times and my son hasn't gotten sick and loves the food.

Wicked yummy! Highly recommend! I had savory turkey, the best bbq baked beans I’ve ever tried, green beans that I loved and I typically don’t get at a restaurant and delicious homemade apple sauce! I have many food allergies and sensitivities, and Nate made me feel incredibly safe. He went above and beyond to make sure I did not get sick. Thank you, Nate! We will be back! 😋♥
Great celiac friendly place. I'm celiac and I ordered the pork plate with green beans and potato salad. Tried all the gluten free sauces and it was all very good.
Love Bandanas. Always friendly and careful with my food. Basically as long as you avoid the bread you are good to go!
Very gluten free friendly. They gave an extra side dish instead of bread. We have eaten here several times with all good experience. 3 celiac, 2 bread eaters.
Good, safe meal. No problems. First waitress was new and went to get another waitress. Offered me a GF list of foods which is so helpful. Checked on us many times.
Lots of meat choices, all the Bar-B-Q sauces were gf and most sides are too! The also give an extra side instead of the bread option

Our server was very helpful, asking to be sure about GF bbq sauce. The menu is marked with "GF". The foods were basic, tasty and safe.
Food was excellent, service was great! Unfortunately, I did get sick. Not a horrible reaction, clearly just a little cross-contamination.
My hope is they may be able to make some small changes and avoid this. It’s really as simple as moving the bread out of the kitchen. It’s too easy for bread to be added to the wrong plate, and then removed immediately without realizing the ramifications.
The other problem is using the same gloves, at most BBQ places I have to request that they change their gloves, to prevent handling bread and then meat. Simply moving the bread out to be added by waitstaff eliminates this and lessens the chances of a mistake being made.
I know it seem like a lot of effort to cater to a few people, but the reality is that once you get on our radar as a safe place to eat, you’ll see a lot more of us!
Terrific BBQ here, and all of their meats and sauces are gluten free. Some of the sides are GF too. Our server seemed fairly knowledgeable about GF issues, and seemed genuinely concerned about keeping me safe.
Best bbq I have had in a long time. Would definitely go back.
I am celiac and eat here every time I am at the lake. I have never had a problem. They are conscientious about cross contamination and really accommodating. They have a gluten free menu and you can order online.
