Server was very knowledgeable about what products were gluten free and what products had cross contamination risks! Awesome food, service, and experience.

They have a Gluten friendly menu, I’m celiac, I ordered brisket (great flavor) and bacon wrapped jalapeños for my side with a cider beer. BBQ sauces are listed on the GF menu, I ate the darkest colored one, no issues.

Excellent food, great service at the Central Av location. Server helped me choose my food selections. I'm both gluten-free and dairy-free. The brisket was among the best I've had anywhere! Few sides from which to choose, steamed cauliflower and broccoli were great. Delicious!!

This restaurant pops up on my list of gluten free places, but it is not celiac friendly. Most things are made with Worcestershire sauce or mustard based. Our server could not tell me if those ingredients were gluten free.

I LOVED my experience at this restaurant! My waitress was SO kind and took my celiac very seriously. I got the ribs with a side chopped salad and she brought me out all of the sauces to try. (She made sure that all of them were gluten free.) Needless to say, it was ALL delicious!

Wow. The server really took care of me. My food came out with hush puppies with it after I explained that I was Celiac. Before I even said anything, the server apologized, grabbed the food and went to the kitchen to have it remade. It took a little while for the new food to come out, and the manager came to check on me. I didn't expect it, but they comp'ed my food. It was an honest mistake, but they treated it seriously and I'm so grateful. Highly recommend.

All of their meats are safe to eat. Other than that, not a huge GF menu and items to pick from. I usually stick with their Midwood Chopped salad and have had zero issues.

Really good!! I got the sausage, smoked veggies and bacon wrapped jalapeños. Didn’t get sick. It’s annoying that their coleslaw and baked beans are not gluten free though, like really guys...? You almost have to go out of your way to make those things NOT gluten free.

Most of the meats are safe, several sides and the bacon wrapped jalapeños are delicious! Just make sure to get the fat free ranch - the regular ranch is not GF

All their proteins are gluten free with a choice of 3 or 4 gluten free sides. Delicious Carolina shredded pork! Will definitely be back next time I’m in town.

Ordered carry out from here. I called with questions ahead of time and they were knowledgeable and helpful. They told us all the meats and sauces are gluten-free, and most of the sides that don’t have obvious gluten. As is usually the case, the fries don’t use any gluten ingredients but are made in a shared fryer. We ordered brisket, pulled chicken, cole slaw, and baked beans. Delicious! The quantity of food for the 4-6 person meal pack was a little small and the extra sides are individual size, so doesn’t hurt to order a little extra if you’re ordering for a group.
