I explained that my daughter is celiac, and the guy behind the counter did not know what it was, but the guy next to him did, and explained that he just uses a different cutting board, a fresh knife, and fresh gloves, which he was willing to do. We ordered the jalapeno sausage, ribs, and a baked potato. Sausage was the tastiest. Seems safe. We looked at their allergen info online and chose our foods that way.
Great food. I got the brisket plate with two sides, green beans and potato casserole. The potato casserole is mashed potatoes with all the fixings of a loaded baked potato, so seemed gluten free. I also ate the original bbq sauce and had no problems, but then again I'm only gluten intolerant.
Service was great, very friendly staff. Would eat there again.

We did well here and did not get sick. You just have to make sure they dont put the bun on your tray. I used their online allergen information menu. Unlike every other place in Fort Stockton most of their main options are not automatically covered in gluten.
If you're in Fort Stockton and you're hungry, this place will do you right. Their spice rub and sauces are wheat free. Ask them to skip the roll and change their gloves, and most things on the menu should be okay. While not first class TX BBQ, the food is fine, fast and filling and the restaurant and bathrooms are clean.
There is no specific GF menu, but they can find out ingredients for their foods and you can look at the allergen list online. For gluten free, I highly suggest green beans, pork, and chicken breast. This is a great, FAST service, delicious and friendly location. Unfortunately for those of us who need GF, this location doesn't have baked potatoes or salads. Boo (that's why I removed an extra star)! But it is so hard to find anywhere safe to eat out in Fort Stockton for celiacs, I wanted to throw this one out because I ate there and lived while traveling through.

This place does not understand cross contamination. I would not eat here if you are a celiac.
I can’t recommend Dickey’s BBQ Pit enough! From the moment I asked about gluten-free options, the staff went above and beyond to ensure I felt safe and accommodated. They explained all the gluten-free options thoroughly and even offered to change gloves and use a fresh cut of meat to prevent cross-contamination.
All the meats and sauces are gluten-free, and many of the sides are as well, except for toast, mac & cheese, and fried items. I ordered the brisket plate with potato salad and baked potato casserole, and everything was absolutely fresh, flavorful, and most importantly, I didn’t get sick!
The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the whole experience even better. It’s so rare to find a place that truly understands gluten-free needs, and Dickey’s BBQ Pit has definitely earned a spot as one of my “safe” go-to places. I’ll definitely be returning!
All meats and many sides are gluten-free. I ordered the three meat plate with brisket and ribs with a side of baked beans. When I said I had a "gluten allergy" the man immediately changed his gloves without my asking. I felt extremely comfortable enjoying my dinner.
Meats are gf, so are the bbq sauces. Some have soy but not gluten. Several sides are gf.
Simple find for GF BBQ and brisket chili. Not a dedicated facility. Staff was very accommodating .
