Celiac husband called and got a positive response to his questions. They were very kind and helpful. Took the time to make sure the gluten free food was packaged separately. No gluten free fryer, but had the Cole slaw as a safe side.
GF menu is super clear and has plenty of options. Two celiacs in the family and no one got ill. Staff was super accommodating and very friendly. Just told them over the phone I had celiac and they were up front about their safety measures which at other places can be a chore asking about.
Heads up fryer is a no go so no fries but just scoop another helping of their pulled pork and your gtg.
Oh my gosh it was one of the best dinners I have had in a long time! I had the pulled pork platter with the coleslaw and the sauce salad. 10/10 would go again!

Based on the reviews, we were looking forward to eating at this restaurant. Sadly, it was a disappointment. After some back and forth, a staff member stepped in that understood what was GF. The brisket really lacked flavor and only 2 sauces are safe (and aren’t great unfortunately).
This place was recommended to me by someone with celiac disease who had eaten there. They had a gf menu and food was AMAZING! Highly recommend!
Extensive GF menu that clearly notes what precautions they take for those who experience celiac (ie. shared fryer, so it is not safe to order fried items). They also have their “sticky patches” bbq sauce labeled as made with beer. Only issue I had was I had too many choices! :)
Ribs and pulled pork and chicken are GF. 2 vinegar sauces are GF but not the Sticky Patches.
I’ve eaten here multiple times over the last year and never have had any problems. As long as you tell the staff you need to have it GF, they’re very careful. I’ve had one of the owners come out to talk to me and he conveyed a serious approach. The “Sticky Patches” sauce is not GF but the other two sauces are fine. A few ciders are also available.
Avoid the sticky patches sauce and you’re good. They completely understand cc and CD safe. GF menu is extensive!! Needs a bit of tweaking for CD but on the right path! Delicious!!
