I have ordered from here twice and both times my food came out with bread after assuring me it wouldn’t.

Terrible. I told the waitress/clerk that I needed to have it gluten free with no bread. She was rude and said “this doesn’t include bread”. Once my food comes out a giant piece of bread is sitting right on top. Then acted annoyed when I sent it back and said I wanted a new one.

Not a ton of gluten free options but they do have an allergen menu that states what contains gluten. Our 18 year old celiac loves the smoked wings & rib basket. Service is always speedy.

They have a separate allergy menu! Everything item is listed. The person taking our order was very helpful and made a special note about the allergy. Didn’t get sick!

Menu right at the counter that tells you which items have no gluten. I am celiac but not super sensitive to cross-contamination. If you can’t handle cross-contamination then probably not the best place for you, but it was great for me. Food was good and the staff were helpful. I ate the rib & wing platter with homemade potato chips. Tasty!

Very good experience here. Read other reviews on this app before going, and made sure to ask for the allergen chart. They were very helpful and explained that the fryer is shared, which is not a huge issue for me since I do not have celiac. Would go again since the chart was very helpful and there was a decent amount of choices for gf. Although, if you are also sensitive to soy and dairy, many of the gf options also have those ingredients

They have a allergen list that indicates which foods contain which allergens. I ordered the nachos and confirmed that they can take special precautions to prep. She offered to make an extra note in the computer but that’s all she could do. Then she mentioned that the chips are fried in the same fryer as everything else. I opted not to get them. All meats and sauces are GF and a couple sides, but that’s about it. I opted to order soup and they brought it out with a side of oyster crackers. I wouldn’t eat here again because of the lack of awareness.

They have a fantastic chart of multiple allergens that makes it very easy to see which dishes are ok

All meats and BBQ sauces are GF other items available as well

Food is served on paper in baskets. Food quality is excellent, always delicious.

While I never saw a menu, I was happy to see multiple allergen posters. I quickly could find something I wanted to eat. Food has always come out fast here. I didn't have a reaction from the bbq nacho-like meal I ate. It was very tasty.

The staff was very helpful. They have a full gluten free menu. I just asked the first person on staff for one, and it was quickly brought out to me. Orders are placed at the counter, so be sure to tell the cashier your order needs to be gluten free, and they will flag the order in the computer, so the kitchen well handle your food safely. My order was even brought out to me on a separate tray from the rest of the table! Food was great and reasonably priced, lots of choices, good service, clean, family friendly atmosphere.
