Don't do it.. it's basically a wheat-a-palooza. Nothing on their menu is truly GF as there is basically a guarantee of cross contamination. Also, the staff have no idea what being celiacs means. Left right away.

We should have left when we sat down to the table and it was full of crumbs and had to ask them to clean it off. Then I thought I would be safe with the sassy salad. Which was brought out with the cornbread muffin and corn chips on top. Basically bagged lettuce,cabbage,carrots with some brisket on top. No dressing! Won't be coming back!

it's a joke, hand you a huge binder showing ingredients of each menu item... even the items listed as wheat free are sure to be cooked on the same surfaces

My daughter had a cheeseburger without the bun and raw carrots and celery. I thought that would be safe but she's sick today..

Manager was very nice.. Told me nothing is safe on the menu for celiacs. Only option is to get chicken and peel the skin off which is obviously not safe either.

Not GF!!! They only have a wheat free menu and a lot of their sauces contain barley malt flour!

Dismal GF menu--in fact, what they refer to as a GF menu is only a wheat-free menu. And wheat is in just about everything there. The fact that they don't know the difference between wheat & gluten is sort of terrifying, and renders it not an option for celiacs at all.

Chicken and baby back ribs are the ONLY options. Not happy about the fact they put gluten in their sauces.

I ordered the beef brisket and it came smothered in barbecue sauce even though it didn’t have barbecue sauce on the menu and also came on a piece of toast which wasn’t the menu. The sweet corn was cattle feed. Brisket was chewy

Nope. Enjoyed eating here before I knew I had celiac. When we inquired about GF options here by phone the person actually told us there were not any available and that we should eat somewhere else. Go to Mission BBQ instead!

Really nice service and no gluten free options on the menu but they did provide me an allergen menu. It turned that so was unable to find anything I like that is without gluten and they don’t really understand celiac so no separate prep. I cannot recommend it for gluten free.
