Review of Hard Eight BBQ

This place can be good if you’re careful.

The Pork is not gluten free. In the meat cutting area with pork there is a huge amount of cross contamination. But you can get a ribeye which is made in a separate area without gluten

You may be able to ask a manager to get meat from a clean area, but I’m not sure

They have ~5 sides that are gluten free. I had several of them (potato salad, beans, fruit) and did not get sick . I’m celiac and sensitive

The regular bbq sauce is supposedly GF. The spicy is not. They are next to each other. They’re probably okay. I just skipped sauce

Overall, I’d say you can eat here but it is more risky if you choose some items vs others. You’re probably safer earlier in the night and or on a less-busy night. It is good food. I would come back.
