Review of Pappas Delta Blues Smokehouse

Delta Blues is wonderful! While there is no formal gluten-free menu, the options are varied and delicious! You will not be able to order fried items if you have celiac, as they do not have a dedicated fryer.

After ordering, the manager will come speak to you and explain what precautions are being taken (example: he follows the order in the kitchen, ensures cook space is cleaned and gloves changed, etc.). You can also ask to speak to the manager prior. These precautions are in place at all Pappa’s owned restaurants, including Pappa’s Burgers in the Houston Hobby airport.

Their steaks are probably my favorite in the Clear Lake area, and their moist brisket is in my top 2 (Kat’s in Santa Fe is first place, but has fewer precautions they can take due to smaller kitchen size).

The only downside is that you may have to wait a while at night. Check in online to reduce your wait times.

(Please note: I give 4 stars safety to any restaurant that has amazing precautions but is not an entirely gluten free restaurant.)
