This restaurant doesn’t have gf menu, but they have some knowledge of gf/df and asked the manager to make sure. Ask them to change gloves, but they have meats, sides and all bbq sauce is gf.

Be sure to have them change gloves, knives, and CUTTING BOARD. My not gf hubs ordered a sandwich before I ordered and we ended up having to get a double order of my turkey because, while the meats (except burnt ends because of shared okra fryer) are gf, they put bread all over the boards when making sandwiches. The server started cutting my order before I even finished my sentence about gf but he was nice about it, all things considered. Really good food and GREAT bbq sauce.

All of the meats, baked potato, sweet potato, and baked beans are gluten free! The staff are very new but the owner is knowledgeable. You do have to ask for no toast but other than that it’s great!

Fantastic BBQ. Most food is gf. Fries are not gf as they are prepared in a shared fryer with breaded okra. Had brisket and pulled pork, beans (amazing) and coleslaw.
