Dickey's Barbecue Pit

Like other locations, this place is not very aware of what gluten is. My understanding from reading a blog and asking the employees was that the meats and some of the sides were gluten free, but I wasn't reassured by the employees. I also can't really judge from my reactions if it was gluten free or not, but I can say that the ribs and sauce taste great.

Celiac friendly?

No

Knowing that most barbeque places are gluten-free as far as meats and most sauces go, tried this location equipped with overall Dickeys allergen list from website. Counter order server knew of gluten allergy and changed gloves without being asked to. Also, waffle fries are all that was fried so these potatoes did not have gluten contamination. Maybe 1 or 2 meats have gluten from flavoribg-Ask! And no bun of course!

Staff immediately changed cutting boards and gloves. Nothing is marked on the menu but staff is knowledgeable about what is and is not gluten free. I am pretty sensitive to cross contamination and didn’t feel sick at all!

Staff aware of GF options and changed gloves, delicious food. No issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good BBQ food. If you use common sense, you can eat GF here pretty easily. There’s no dedicated GF menu. Avoid getting the bread/ dinner roll and pickles. All meats and sides have never contaminated me. Obviously, all sandwiches are forbidden. Great food at a great price.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was knowledgeable about gluten free and made sure to not touch items with the same gloves. The online menu provides you with a list of allergens.

While the chain does have an allergen listing of it’s menu, that does not matter in the assembly line meal prep at this location. Asking for them to put on clean gloves doesn’t either because for previous customers, they did not, and they have the same gloves on to slice the meat as they do dishing up side dishes and grabbing dinner rolls. I started our 2 week vacation gluten contaminated and sick as heck.

Celiac friendly?

No

When I told the staff I had celiacs they changed their gloves, knives, cutting boards, and wiped everything down. The food was good, and so were the prices. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Some gluten free options available. Kind of a fast food establishment. It was fast and I didn’t get sick but it wasn’t the greatest food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When you state Celiac they will use new gloves, new clean cutting board, clean paper on the scale and are certain not to touch bread or croutons! Be sure you let them know Celiac bc most things there are gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

If you like Barbecue, this is a great place! Great quality meat. I always get the pulled pork and green beans. They give a roll but you can ask for it to be on a separate plate or just say “no thanks.” The fries are fried with the rest so those are not safe. But there are also chips. And free ice cream after your meal (which I was just informed a few weeks ago is dairy-free). I get the ice cream in a cup. And kids eat free on Sundays! Our normal Sunday afternoon lunch spot! 😉

The service was excellent. Staff and manager were very accommodating and generous when we asked for celiac friendly options. Food was carefully prepared fresh and away from the other food to avoid cross contamination, and a list of ingredients was provided so we could select GF options for side dishes. Great tasting barbecue. Outstanding experience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

First, this place is always great for the whole family. Great food. But they always have GF meat, and the baked potato casserole is also GF. Finish it off with free ice cream in your cup, and then pour some root beer over it. We do this place a lot!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place to get authentic Texas BBQ!! I had a free sandwich for my Birthday so I ordered the meat separated from the bun. I told the man cutting the meat I had an allergy. He then proceeded to clean the cutting space, changed his gloves after he touched my bun, and again washed the cutting board!! Amazing!! I have been here at least 4 times and never got sick from the meat. They also have frozen ice milk for dessert that is gf. I will come again and again!

Staff was very knowledgeable about what I can eat with Celiacs Disease. They immediately changed gloves and brought out a new cutting board and knife to prepare my food. They also knew which sides I could eat. Highly recommend!

On vacation and my daughter ate so much here! Allergies: dairy, wheat, treenut, peanut, fish and shellfish. She ate the ribs, brisket and turkey. If you go to their website there is an allergen information list where you can see what items are safe. Just speak to the staff to inquire prior to ordering ... we will definitely be back!!!!

Thank you Dickey’s for a wonderful and safe meal !!!!

This place is CLOSED!!!!! Take it off the list!!!!

All the meats and about half of the sides are gluten free.

Nima tested chicken pork and beef and all were safe. I have to ask them not to pack the bread with the meat. The sides have tested positive at times for gluten. Huge risk for cross contamination here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Have eaten at a different Dickeys location and was fine. This location was empty and not clean and the employee didn't understand gluten free. She got someone else and when asked if the pulled pork was gluten free she said it should be it ain't got nothing in it. Not risking that.

****UPDATE: I believe this location is now closed.****

ORIGINAL: They do not have a separate gluten-free menu, but on their website you can find nutritional information containing allergens as well. Staff was friendly, and advised me on what to eat to be safe. They cleaned and sanitized the cooking area, even though cross-contamination isn't a problem for me. Great food, decent prices. Will definitely be going back.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

As soon as I mentioned I couldn't have gluten, the staff immediately changed gloves, cutting board, and changed out utensils. They knew exactly what I could and couldn't have. I felt very comfortable eating here and did not get sick.

Staff was great about knowing which sides were gf! Meat was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The manager was helpful, and immediately brought out their ingredients binder. Only the buns, mac and cheese and possibly another side contained gluten, so I wasn’t limited in picking my meat, sides, and sauce. The food was very good! I would return.

April 30, 2019. Great GF place to eat. Big selection.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Workers were very knowledgeable about gluten free options, immediately grabbed a new cutting board and knife. Manager was friendly and makes sure employees understand how to serve gluten free. Great experience!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff checked labels and changed gloves. A good GF option when traveling on I-95.

This place is wonderful. We originally checked their Allergen chart and found items that didn't contain gluten so, we took the chance. When arrived and told them that the husband has celiac disease they, knew to change gloves and shut the line line down to clean everything and then his items were pulled from the cooler and other areas. We were told that they had some oj ne who had sensitivities so, they understood the importance. Will definitely be going back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledge able staff. Changed gloves, boards ect.. I had the daily special .

Fast, friendly service. The smoked meats are gluten free and the baked potato is enormous! I am celiac and the staff was very accommodating. They were more than happy to modify my meal to keep it safe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Once I told them gluten free they changed gloves and brought out a new cutting board. The manager has celiac and told me which sides were safe - mac and cheese and fries were only two I couldn’t have (although he said he has fries and doesn’t get sick even though they’re cooked in a shared fryer with gluten). I’ll definitely be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a very good protocol for cross contamination. I have eaten here many times and never had an issue.

Dickey’s Manager, Jeremy, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of all food allergies. He gave us an allergen menu which included gluten free options. All meats and some sides are gluten free. Explained that they thoroughly clean a dedicated area of the kitchen to prepare the gluten free items offered. Great food also!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ate here tonight with my family. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to eat anything. As soon as I mentioned Celiac the employee immediately removed gloves, washed hands, put on new gloves, got a clean knife and cutting board. They made sure to keep the meats totally separate from the gluten containing sides.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The owner’s wife has an extreme gluten sensitivity/disorder so they understand the importance of no cross contamination. Everything except for the Mac and cheese, bread, and spinach is gluten free. The owner is exceptional and the staff always changes gloves for gluten issues. My mom and I both have Celiac and have yet to have a problem here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

staff immediately changed gloves, covered their board grabbed a fresh knife and meat. :)

All the meats and sauces are gluten free! Including many of their sides. The staff here was very nice and helpful! One of the workers Mom has Celiac so he was very knowledgeable about it and helped us out, even by checking labels and ingredients.

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. As other reviews noted, the manager explained he has celiac disease and took the time to walk me through all of the celiac friendly options they could offer. He changed his gloves, grabbed a clean board and prepared my meal himself while offering suggestions. I highly recommend this location.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent BBQ! Meat chopped fresh in front of you. Staff had a gluten free menu behind the counter and was knowledgeable about changing gloves. He did forget and almost put bread on the meat tray, so watch carefully.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've had no issues and my super sensitive to cc. I just let them know I have celiacs and I'm gluten free. They change cutting boards and gloves.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was great. Changed gloves and used new stuff so no cross contamination. Food was wonderful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu, gluten free BBQ sauce. Staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. Great place for GF BBQ!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I go there often and tell them I am gf. They change their gloves and know exactly what is gf.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had no idea what we were talking about. They also kept messing up and when asked multiple times for no bread, they put bread on my tray. Their remedy was to just take it off.

Celiac friendly?

No

I went into Dickies tonight and they now carry deep fried onion rings so the fries are no longer gluten free😢

Celiac friendly?

No

The counter person told me that she was not allowed to tell me what was gluten free and directed me to a catering book in the front of the store. Made a sandwich for another person but would not change gloves when getting my sides afterwards. Not worth the risk of cross contamination to eat here.

Celiac friendly?

No

GFree BBQ and multiple GF sides. Multiple meat selections. Sauces are listed as GF. Chain restaurant. No alcohol. Good comfort food with allergen list on their website.

Very knowledgeable staff. Lots of gluten free choices. Change gloves 🧤

Have been here a few times. All of which they were great at helping me!
