Sooeys BBQ & Rib Shack

The staff is very knowledgeable about gluten-free foods they offer. I had the BBQ chicken with cole slaw and baked beans. It was delicious! All of their barbecued meats and BBQ sauces are gluten free. Just ask about what sides are okay:)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

If you're looking for authentic North Carolina Barbecue joint, Sooeys is the place to go. Even though they don't have a gluten free menu, the wait staff is very knowledgeable and let you know what options are available. There was plenty of gluten free options to choose from and the food was out of this world.

Has a gluten-free menu, but definitely not celiac safe. Lots of oils and far too many chances for cross contamination.

Although I did not eat, I snapped the GF menu for anyone that would need it on here.

They were so kind and accommodating! I was introduced to the chef and was give specifics of what I could have, along with a menu on the wall of their GF items. I have a dairy allergy too, and they were great and knowledgeable about that!

The waitress was knowledgeable and when she wasn’t sure about some DF stuff, she checked with the kitchen. Menu was not marked. The bbq chicken itself was tender, but the bbq taste was not my favorite. Very good potato salad. The portions were a good size, enough for lunch and dinner. I did not get sick - nor did my DF/GF husband or NF daughter. Our younger daughter loved that she could keep the frisbee that her kid’s meal came on.
