Review of Berndt Ends BBQ

Took a chance on this place for lunch. There is no training among the cook staff for gluten/allergens, however the girl at the register was somewhat knowledgeable and mostly knew what items had gluten.

She didn’t know what celiacs was, so I just asked that they change gloves and be careful about shared utensils. Ordered brisket, Cole slaw and collards. Happy to report that they took it seriously and I had a fabulous meal that did not make me sick at all - and I’m a highly sensitive celiac.

Overall, I give this place 4* out of 5*. Very good barbecue, but some allergen training is needed. Wouldn’t be my first choice as a celiac, but would do just fine for somebody with a gluten intolerance.
