A few GF options marked on the menu, but nothing impressive. Brunswick stew was not good, shrimp & grits tastes like they use swiss. They did make gf fries for me which were pretty good. Service not very good either.

Delicious food! Like... when do you get to have an amazing burger AND fries (that have a separate fried)??!! Server very knowledgeable which made me feel safe too! Tennessee brisket and fries, so good! Tito's vodka option was nice but I had the Mockingbird.

They have a dedicated fryer and are good With allergens. The servers are a little o. The slow side, but we have ourselves plenty of time to eat! They do take reservations which I would recommend, but they were not busy when we were there on a Saturday before the Grand Ole Opry show. The burgers are GF the bun is good. Servers were attentive to the allergies in our party. Fun atmosphere and really nice people working!

Server and Chef were very knowledgeable about the foods that were safe as well as handling and cooking procedures to ensure for no cross contamination. I enjoyed a burger on a GF bun and my daughter had. BLT on GF bun. We opted to not have fries though. Although they empty the fryer and put new oil in, that wont work for me as a Celiac. Overall great experience and great food.

The BEST ribs ever! The server was very knowledgeable. Had a separate menu and dedicated drier...yay fries! I also asked for broccoli...on the gf menu it said steamed broccoli on the reg menu it said broccoli and cheese. I received broccoli and cheese. Too much food anyway so I did not eat it. Trying to figure out a way to get back there fir more ribs!

So nice to have a full gluten free menu to order from. I was delivered my soup with bread on top so I asked if it was gluten free and they said oops no, I will go get you a fresh one. Other than that slip up they were very attentive. We had brisket, pulled pork sandwiches, broccoli and sweet potato. Good portions, decent food. Kids were thrilled to have brownie sundae for dessert!

Yes a dedicated gluten free menu but was still served a gluten filled bun. Not busy at all, maybe 4 or 5 other tables full so they can’t use the “we were busy” excuse. Horrible gluten exposure symptoms after eating here. Do not recommend.

Separate menu complete with dessert. The only hiccup was when I ordered the chicken sandwich from the menu the waitress asked me if I wanted fried or grilled chicken even though the gluten free menu specifics it is grilled. Separate fryer for fries.

Went here for lunch after reading all of the great reviews and the celiac friendly rating. The waitress didn't really seem to be knowledgeable about anything gluten free. While the food tasted good, and my fiancé enjoy his meal (he's not GF), I ended up getting pretty sick, which completely ruined the plans we had for the rest of the day. Beware of cross contamination here, and if you're not confident while ordering with your server, make sure to ask for someone who knows GF. I will not be coming back.

We ate here twice while in town. They have great pulled pork. First time I had the sandwich with fries and the second time I had the meat dinner. We asked and made sure the fries were in a separate fryer and they confirmed. On our second visit we even ordered the gluten free brownie it was delicious!!!

Lovely GF menu. It's an actual menu and not a stained piece of paper. Delicious pork shoulder with Memphis Sweet sauce. Had a baked sweet potato with butter on the side. Suspicious flecks in the butter so I stayed away from that. Warm GF brownie is yummy. BTW at 6 pm the singing bartender comes out. Pleasant voice and easy listening.

We ate here today for a late lunch. I had the pulled pork sandwich on a great GF bun and sweet potato fries because they have a dedicated french frier! Honestly, the pork was a little dry and needed more sauce which I could have asked for but didn't. I still am giving them 5 because of the sweet potato fries from a dedicated frier. Also, it is just a cute place with singing waiters that take the stage. Fun times and good GF choices from a pretty extensive ( in the GF world) menu!

Just happened to run across the reviews of this place and am so glad I tried it! After alerting the server I had celiac, the chef came out to talk to us about their procedures to prevent cross-contamination. Had a pulled pork sandwich on a gluten free bun - it was huge! The fries were fresh and flavorful. It was so much food I was too full to get the brownie for dessert. I will definitely be back and next time I'll try the wings. Great little hidden gem.

I loved this place! It was a cute little family-friendly restaurant with great food and great music! I tried the pulled pork sandwich with a gluten-free bun and a side of cole slaw and it was awesome! So good and so much food! I especially liked that they had a separate gluten-free menu with a lot to choose from.
