Review of Cowboy's Smokehouse Cafe

We went here because it was the only GF place in town, but we lucked out, big time! We had initial concerns, as the person who answered the phone did not seem to understand Celiac or GF, but when we arrived at the restaurant, the owner greeted us and he really "got it!" He went through everything that was GF (fryer is not, all of the BBQ is) and was lovely and gracious. He made sure even foods that could be fried were handled differently for us to ensure no cross-contamination. We had the ribs, a combo BBQ platter with turkey, chicken and pulled pork, a pulled pork salad with their homemade blue cheese dressing, and the stuffed potato skins (they microwaved them to avoid the fryer.) Sides were baked beans (awesome!!!), Cole slaw, grilled zucchini and cheesy mashed potatoes (gravy is not GF.) We ordered for 4 so we would have leftovers but we ate so much because it was so good that we may need to return tomorrow for more!! Highly recommend this place, even if you have to drive a bit to get here!! BTW, cash preferred over credit.
