I don’t normally eat at chain restaurants, would prefer to give my money to small business people - and the food tends to be better! However, was famished and couldn’t find a better option when passing through Southington. Mission BBQ was awesome! Ate there twice and besides the GF menu, staff seemed familiar with GF, calling out to the line and prep cooks that the orders were GF. Food was delicious and the only sauce that wasn’t GF was the Texas Twang (on account of having Worcestershire sauce). Will seek out their other locations when I travelling.

"REPEAT AFTER ME GLUTEN FREE" thats whats yelled throughout the completely visible kitchen when preparing my gluten free food. That fills me with confidence. Now I will say generally bbq is gluten free, so when can normally eat it. All of the meats at mission bbq are gluten free, and the only thing they fry is fries which are also gluten free. The person who is in charge on corn bread and Mac n cheese came nowhere near my meal. I will also say mission bbq has both a gluten free menu and and allgerin chart. Just something extra they do to fill you with confidence. I would say a 90% of they menu is gluten free (no not the corn bread or mac n cheese). I love there jalapeño cheddar sausage and fries, my go to meal when I eat out. Taste great and have never been glutened.

Gluten free French fries and coleslaw and meat sampler (2 piece with chicken and brisket). Some of the best meat and southern style sides I’ve ever had!

Amazing gluten free fries and meat. All of the meats are gluten free and amazingly moist. The coleslaw is great as well. One of my favorite road trip stops now going back and forth from Boston to New York City!

For a fast food BBQ restaurant the food was very good. They have a decent size gluten free menu. I had the 1/2 of chicken with 2 sides, coleslaw and baked beans. Their sauces were very good as well. I will definitely be going back.

Upon ordering I informed the employee of my allergy. He stated I can have the meal without the sandwich bun. I also ordered fries as my side that was gluten free. When we received our food they had put cornbread on the side of my fries. The employees did not change their gloves or take any precautions to prevent contamination.

Overall it’s a good choice and safe for GF DF allergies. You must let the cashier know when you’re placing your order or it will be contaminated. They have a gluten free fryer as well. Most of the Meats are Gluten free and dairy free. But I always ask they do have an allergy guide at the register if you have questions. I’ve ate here many times and have not gut sick.
