Unfortunately I definitely had some stomach pain that corresponds to what I feel when I’m glutened. But they were fairly careful! If you’re sensitive I’d be wary here but they’re certainly aware of gluten allergies and did their best.

Gluten free items noted on the menu. When I asked about GF, they confirmed I was celiac. I had the brisket sandwich on a GF bun and the waffle fries. They have a dedicated fryer, which took a couple extra minutes. But it was worth it. Food was excellent.

I got a burger with gluten free bun. It was pretty good! One of the bun halves seemed over microwaved but I was happy I could find something. I got a side salad because I didn’t want to be worried about contamination for fries. They also had some other labeled gluten free options.

Had a nice early dinner with family. Server asked up front of there were any allergies or dietary needs for the table. There is not a separate gf menu, but our server immediately pointed out items on the menu that were gf as is, and also a couple items that could be modified. She also offered unprompted that they have a dedicated fryer, and she pointed out the hard cider on the drinks menu. my food was brought out separately from the rest of my table (gluten eaters) and my server checked in with me to see if I had any concerns or questions about what I was served.

I ordered the nachos topped with their brisket chili, and it was delicious. I would recommend this place to any person with celiac looking for a delicious and casual option.

Went for lunch with coworkers, I had the pulled pork on a gluten free bun and gluten free waffle fries. They were very cautious even with the delivery of the food to the table. I would definitely go back - all of the Lettuce Entertain You restaurants are great for gluten free in my experience.

I ordered the brisket and told them I was gluten and dairy free. Brisket was the best I have had. BBQ sauce was tangy and complimented the brisket well. The pickles and coleslaw were also good. We were visiting, but I would definitely go back.

Best to-go packaging I have ever seen too.

The wait staff knew about Celiac's and gluten allergies and there's a separate GF menu. Beware the double star caution message on the bottom because those items are not truly GF for Celiac's. Knocked off a star from my rating because the food was not good. Dry brisket and burger, boooo.

5/5 for the Celiac friendly 2/5 for the food

Very good. Ordered a chopped beef and pulled pork sandwich. The buns were delicious. They fried French fries and Tator tots in GF oil so we could enjoy them as sides!

Amazing! They now have a gluten free fryer which is great. Homemade BBQ sauces and delicious homemade ranch! Everything is smoked in house. Our waitress asked if it was an allergy and let the kitchen know immediately. She also requested my husband's tots be gf without me asking so I could eat them. I'm from Texas and bub city made me feel like I was home.

Separate GF menu, and our waitress was helpful. I had the burnt ends and brisket-baked beans with no issues. They say all of their sauces are GF.

A+ for effort. They have dedicated GF menus, and the manager came to my table to answer my specific questions. The food was AMAZING! I knocked off a star because my GF dish was served with a huge piece of toast on the plate. OOPS!

I was impressed when I first saw the menu online, how they noted that their fried foods are gluten free by ingredients, but share oil with gluten items. That is one of the biggest things these days. The food -- amazing! Can't say enough good things about this place! Though you should make a reservation on the weekends -- it gets busy!

Delicious! The server tried very hard to accommodate for GF but had to try twice for it to come out of the kitchen GF because someone placed toast on the plate the first time. Overall it was ok and I didn't get sick at all from the dining experience.
