Billy Sims in Arkansas City is very knowledgeable with Gluten free! They also are wonderful with my red meat allergy!

It's true! They brought out a fresh cutting board and knife and when one guy was about to pull out some bread, the more knowledgeable man asked him to change his gloves. I bought a bottle of Bold and Smoky sauce bc it is gluten free.

I had a great experience at the location in Ark City. They changed their gloves when I asked and even brought out a clean cutting board and knife. They also made sure not to touch toast while they prepared my order. According to their online allergen guide, most of their items are gluten free. I had the pulled pork, sliced brisket, baked potato salad, and baked beans, which I would order before my celiac diagnoses so I was excited I could still have it. Definitely recommend.

They have delicious ribs and pulled pork. Their brisket is also really good, and they have chicken and turkey. My family has gone there a couple times now and I have had no issues with my stomach after. I get the corn as a side and last time it was good, but this time it tasted like frozen corn which is not my favorite.

As a Celiac, I miss eating meat-heavy meals at restaurants, due to the fact so many restaurants put gluten-containing marinades, seasonings and sauces on their foods.

This past weekend, I was in Oklahoma and stopped by Billy Sims BBQ with my family. This is an order-at-the-counter place with self-serve drinks. I told the guy who took my order that I am celiac and he instinctively grabbed a piece of bread to put in the toaster, caught himself and asked me if I wanted him to change gloves. He and the manager told me that their potato salad, their meats and their sauces are gluten-free!

Aside from their $5.99 sandwich and drink deal which is an amazing value but not gluten-free (my husband ordered it for himself) we got a few items to share with family.

For $21.99 we got a 3 meat plate which came with 2 sides, pickles, peppers, onions and a slice of bread (obviously I didn't get bread.) I chose the polish sausage, sliced brisket and pulled pork along with double potato salad.

My other family members ordered the $12.99 smothered baked potato (jacket potato) that comes with butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, meat, sauce. They wanted to split it so the potato pictured is only half of the potato! It's huge!

This is a casual restaurant chain owned by a former local footballer, and there are locations in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan in the USA.

While the brisket was a tad dry for my tastes, I enjoyed all the sauces, the other meats and sides. The service was great and the price was a fantastic value.
