Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q

Allergen menu was available- but didn't contain what was safe, just those items containing the allergen.... So though a process of elimination, I finally figured out what would be safe to eat... However I still got gluten. It wasn't that busy, and service was poor. I usually get the salad bar, but it didn't look that fresh. Other issues: Bathrooms needed attention. Bottom-line, we enjoyed the meal, but I wouldn't eat there again.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great food never had any reactions.

Sonny’s is a great BBQ place. They have a separate GF menu. Most all the meat is GF. I usually get sliced pork, BBQ/Baked Beans and corn or baked potato. They have great chick and ribs, too.

Warning the allergen menu says the sauces are GF. However, when I called was told all Sauces had Gluten. We got all meats with no sauce and the only sides gluten free were corn, broccoli, and coleslaw. That said the meat was very Smokey and flavorful without the sauce and the corn was really great.

The waitress was aware of being gluten free. She advised to stay away from dishes with bread or fried. My husband and I had a good meal and I did not have any reactions.

They have a menu that specifies the items that have gluten in them. I spoke with the waitress and she helped me find some delicious options. There are tons of items to get here that don't contain gluten. Meats/entrees, sides, big dinner salads, etc. Also, she marked it on the ticket that I was GF without me even asking and she even mentioned that she would have staff change gloves and she would personally check on my food to make sure it was safe. I was very impressed with her level of concern even though I didn't make a big deal of it at the table.

Note: double check the gluten items, because even their green beans say they contain gluten. I wouldn't have thought that, so I was glad I checked. I ordered pulled pork bbq, baked sweet potato, broccoli, and coleslaw. Also, ask for Grace. She's is the most amazing waitress and you won't regret sitting in her section!
