Review of Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse & Tavern

Quick review:👉 good food, good drinks, good service, knowledgeable staff, celiac safe.

More detail: 👇 We tried this place despite the mixed reviews on being celiac-safe. When we approached the hostess counter, we asked about gluten-free options immediately and explained that we have a child with celiac. They informed us that their current menu does not note specific gluten-free items (our server explained that this is a new, pandemic-related limited menu). They offered to let us take an older menu that does mark the gf items that we could use for comparison. Our server was knowledgeable & helpful with explaining which sauces, etc were gluten free and kitchen procedures. 🥩Nearly everything we ordered was gluten free, except a plate of corn bread, which was brought out last and placed on the opposite end of the table from the celiac diner. We ordered chicken wings (normally fried, but they offered to bake them, and they came out wonderful), southern green beans, baked beans, creamed corn, pulled pork, andouille sausage, ribs, and brisket (all gf). Husband & I ordered cocktails which were also very good. 🧑‍🍳All of the service was great- quick, pleasant, and knowledgeable. Food tasted great. Because it’s not just about “safe” food, but enjoyable food too.

🥃If you’re over 21, make sure to check out the back bar and get a craft cocktail in their quiet, dim, cozy atmospheure.
