My dad and I had a great meal here and there were tons of gluten free options. Gluten free cornbread is made in house and delicious. Gluten free wings were so exciting and pretty good. Rib sampler platter was great, the beef ribs and st. louis were really good. The barbecue sauce, sides, etc. were good. I wasn’t thrilled by the quality or flavor of them but the meal was solid overall, barbecue was good, and gf options were awesome.

Meals were on the pricey side, but the portions were HUGE so definitely some good bang for your buck.

Based on other reviews we decided to give it a try. Definitely worth it!. Our waitress informed us the owners wife is celiac so they take it seriously especially when you tell them you have celiac. More than 1/2 the menu is gf or can be modified. I had the sampler (I couldn't decide) beef ribs, baby back & st Louis style 10 ribs total with mashed sweet potatoes and roasted vegetables, my wife got the 1/2 rack same sides, oh and the cornbread was very good we split a chocolate lava cake for dessert. No reaction whatsoever we would definitely return when in town again. Oh if you want Buffalo wings they will use a separate fryer to accommodate gf. Gf buns for burgers and sandwiches.

Always feel amazing after eating here! Servers are very knowledgeable & always reassure when needed. Even bring separate butters out with the GF cornbread. 11/10 will come back 👏🏻

We’ve eaten here multiple times and almost everything is gluten free. They even have gluten free cornbread but you have to wait a bit longer. Not only that but they have the best tasting ribs around. I can’t speak about the safety for a celiac but for a gluten intolerant person such as myself they are perfect.

Great gluten-free cornbread, delicious ribs. Food came out separately and it seemed like the employees all knew it was for an allergy.

We tested the chicken nuggets and they have gluten. I’m not sure about the fries (we tested them while they were in the same box as the chicken) and other meal options, but the chicken is not safe.

So glad they offer gluten free options, even safe fries but their safe driers were down when I visited. Definitely call ahead.

Great cornbread and seems very safe, but the barbeque here to me is just okay. The brisket feels like it sits in a stew of sauce all day or something and isnt very good, ive tried it twice and it was room temp both times. Beef ribs and hot sausage is good, pork ribs are okay. Need to try the chicken still. I am thankful for this place and that it can satisfy my craving.

The staff is very knowledgeable and the menu has what’s gluten free labeled on it. They have a dedicated fryer and gf cornbread. I’ve eaten at this place in another location as well and didn’t get sick there either! Would definitely recommend!

Almost everything on the menu is available as gluten free and the BBQ sauce is also gluten free! The gluten free cornbread was absolutely delicious and our waiter brought it out on a separate plate with new butter so it wouldn’t be cross contaminated. They were also very good about making sure what my gluten issues were so that my food was just right. They also have a separate fryer for the gluten free food. 100% recommend this restaurant!

Great gluten-free choices! Had a separate fryer for french fries, etc. I usually can't have corn bread unless I make it at home. They even had gluten-free vegan butter! The staff was wonderful and neither my husband nor I could finish our meals.

I don't know if they use a lot of soy (I can't tolerate soy or gluten), but every time I have eaten here, my stomach has a very hard time digesting it and I live on the bathroom. :(

vacationing nearby and I was very impressed with the whole experience. they have the menu well marked GF and even Caesin Free too. so, I was happy to feel so comfortable ordering BBQ ribs and not worrying about x-contamination. I didn't know they would bring out GF cornbread too! They have a dedicated fryer for french fries (yay!). was happy that I could eat at ease. lots of options for a safe GF meal.

Very safe place to eat. No worries about being glutened here — they get it. The only drawback is that you pretty much have to be into eating a lot of meat if you go here. Not many lighter food options. Or vegetables. The chicken sandwich is good though, if you're not looking to gorge yourself on ribs.

Love this place very knowledgable about GF, and the food is amazing

Staff very knowledgeable, almost all sauces are gf. The menu states what is ok and not for you to eat as well. Everything I got was amazing, their ribs are so good. My only disappointment was that my gf cornbread was a bit dry/crispy but I plan to go back and try it again to see if it was just a fluke! Highly recommend!

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Hands down awesome restaurant and extremely gluten-free friendly. Found it on the app! The ribs and steaks are top-quality and the service is great. If you haven't tried it yet, stop reading this and go now. It's that good.

Best overall GF restaurant within a 20 mile radius! They have soo much to choose from. I love the GF cornbread and brisket sandwich on a kin-nick GF bun.

Staff is very well educated. This was a great experience to eat here. I could order like a normal person and just tell them that I'm very allergic to gluten without having to explain everything to them. Love that they have GF cornbread.

I ate at this restaurant last fall (I am from Seattle and visit CA a couple of times a year to see family). What a wonderfully extensive gf menu--and the food was great-tasting, too! The server was very helpful, well-informed and patient, not only with us but with the family at the next table. They had 3 small children with dairy and gluten sensitivities and the waiter helped them choose food that made everyone happy. I would love to go back the next time I am in the area.
