Review of Stanley’s Famous Pit Bar-B-Q

First of all — get the ribs. Stanley’s is one of four local places I can eat with absolute confidence. Tell the cashier you have a gluten allergy, and that gets immediately verbally passed to the kitchen to avoid cross contamination. So cool! When I was first diagnosed Celiac, I mentioned it while ordering, and not only did they assure me that 95% of the menu is gluten free (everything but actual bread products), but one of the chefs who has family members with Celiac disease found me on the patio and gave me tips about other restaurants and how and where it is safe for me to eat. Every time I place my special order, I’m met with above and beyond kindness, and have I mentioned the ribs?
