This restaurant is wonderful! I really enjoyed the barbecue and the number of sides that we were able to have. It was a great experience. Two celiacs ate here and did not get sick.

I had the brisket and potato salad. Food was delicious. Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. They even changed gloves and utensils. Definitely recommend!

Very helpful and nice, I ordered the brisket and had the homemade potato salad, seemed like it had some bbq seasonings in it which made a great flavor. It is also dairy free. I liked the bbq sauces they make, fun to try all three. No problems. Modest portions, but super delicious and filling.

The staff here was very kind and knowledgeable about my gluten allergy. The sauce was gluten free and the brisket was very good! (the sweet and savory is the way to) I would definitely recommend it to other celiac folk looking for a tasty meal👍🏻

My husband and I came in yesterday with a friend from out of town and we had one of the best experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. We ordered the Tour of Reo Town and everything was great. They were out of beef ribs but made up for it with extra brisket and ribs. I have celiac disease so the staff went ahead and made my own meat tray that didn't have cornbread on it so I didn't have to worry. We also got sides of collard greens and potato mash which were gluten free and they made sure to let me know the oil had been freshly changed so I could enjoy the crispy potato pieces on top but also brought out my own side dish of mash while they were checking. They were extremely accommodating and well-versed in how to handle gluten allergies and it was truly one of the best experiences I've ever had dining out. It was so nice to not have to worry about getting sick not to mention the food was absolutely incredible. I recommend the brisket or pork ribs!
