Well the baked beans were supposed to be gluten free but I found multiple macaroni noodles in mine.

Allergen menu but essentially everything has gluten or is prepared with items that have gluten including their dry rubs. Ordered salad at their suggestion but covered in croutons. Not knowledgeable. Not safe if celiac.

Virtually no options for celiac. Family enjoyed (but not celiac).

Allergen menu listing what has gluten in it. Staff indicated they did have a dedicated fryer despite previous reviews, but I didn’t order anything from it. Excellent, melt-in-your-mouth brisket. Pinto beans had good flavor. Broccoli salad was a little dry but wasn’t bad. Loved that they have lots of sauce options. Most everything had a little spice to it, but none of it tasted bad. Cashier put “CHANGE GLOVES” on ticket without me having to ask. I’m a first-time visitor and definitely plan to come back!

Has allergen menu with gf listed. Dedicated fryer...except tonite - someone put hush puppies in by mistake- at least they told me! Will update after we eat with how it was. Adding - 4 months later - we’re back and fryer is NOT dedicated gf.

I ate the brisket, ribs, and baked beans. The meat was a bit dry but the flavor was good. Beans were really tasty. They had a great variety of GF items and were knowledgeable when I asked. The had a separate menu that showed all the GF and dairy free options. I had no reaction.

There is no gf menu but all the meat is gf. The manager, Troy, was a god send. He also has celiac and helped my daughter and I know what was safe and what wasn’t. It was such a great experience and the food was amazing. I had the pulled pork tray with baked potato and green beans and my daughter had the smoked turkey and baked potato and green beans. It’s so wonderful when you find somewhere to eat and feel safe enjoying so much. Troy was so helpful it made our day.
