Been here twice, they have a GF menu if you ask for it. The person taking my order really knew his stuff, young kid but knew that they used the same bowl for the Mac that they do for the potato salad and knew what had potential for cross contact and what didn’t. Dedicated fryer. All meats GF. Had brisket with baked beans and fries. Happy tummy

Had a pork sandwich without the bun and Cole slaw. Portion size was good. Food was put in the system as an allergy. When we picked it up the server confirmed the food was gf and made sure we knew where l which sauces were safe.

Legit and tasty Texas-style BBQ, which uses dry rubs and then you can add the sauce of your choice, if you like. Have enjoyed the ribs, brisket, pulled pork…. But I really love the “yard bird” smoked chicken. The sauces are great. One of them has gluten in it, so just check that when you’re there. And make sure they don’t add corn bread to your plate. Otherwise, I’ve never had an issue here. Yummy.

Staff was very helpful and kind about walking me through what was safe on the menu (pretty much all of it). They even handed me a laminated copy of it I could take away from the counter so I could compare it with the sauces on the table. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.

I got sick here once- my server neglected to warm me that the Texas BBQ sauce I ordered was NOT gf.

Apart from that one incident, I'm actually happy with the gf protocols and and menu here. Dedicated fryer, glove change is standard, solid GF menu.

Good comfort food, and cool decor.

Awesome experience here. The staff is clearly knowledgeable! Did a pickup order and the girl behind the counter saw the celiac note I added, immediately changed gloves, and then opened each container to show what was inside. My husband’s cornbread was wrapped and kept separate, and she also knew what sauces were GF (all but one of the tangy ones). Oh and the food was delicious, too! Haha

Love their food. When you order and let them know your order is gluten free they will be very careful with your order. I’ve found the team there to be very knowledgeable and if they are not sure they will take the time to double check. It is a great option and I really enjoy their food. My favorite is the shrimp (it is a seasonal item) and pulled chicken with Memphis belle and coleslaw.

Great experience here when we needed a safe fast meal after a long travel day. As soon as I said we had celiac the server rattled off all their procedures. Fries, BBQ and ribs were great. All meats and sauces are GF. Dedicated fryer available. We’ll definitely try mission bbq again.
