The fried chicken and pickle chips, both GF, will make you cry they are so good! The fryer is dedicated GF! All of the BBQ sauces are gluten free as well. I believe the only things on the menu that aren't GF are the buns and Mac and cheese. They are knowledgeable about gluten free and have protocols to help keep cross contamination at a minimum.
Talked extensively with manager and chef. There are many GF items BUT they mislabel the meatloaf. They make it with Kellogg rice crispies. When I explained there are generic versions that would be gluten-free but the Kellogg’s version is not, they got very defensive and said they have people eat gluten-free and never have a problem with it. When I questioned about the barbecue sauce, he said he was pretty sure the Worcestershire used was gluten free but said there were so many ingredients he doesn’t really know. I really wanted to make this place work but I’m just not sure how much I trust the ingredients they are using.
Food was not good. We got the brisket and the chicken. Unflavorful and cold. Do not recommend
Server was helpful + knowledgeable and made note that I was celiac and not just GF. I had the pulled pork (without BBQ sauce*) + the garlic mashed potatoes (without the gravy*) and they were very good. I am a sensitive celiac and did not get sick. I would recommend.
*both were marked GF but I’m just not a sauce person
I've been here many times and I have never had an issue. Some gluten free favs are fried pickles, fried green tomatoes, and their meatloaf is also tasty. This place usually has a good music selection. I also enjoy their daily happy hour.
Gluten free fried chicken! Oh my stars! It’s heaven sent. The fried chicken is delicious and so worth it. I also ordered the fried green tomatoes (also gf) and I was literally filled with joy! I love fried green tomatoes and I haven’t had them in soooo long! The complimentary cornbread is NOT gluten free FYI.
We went to Starlite BBQ because we saw they have a lot of gluten free options. Wow!! We had the gluten free fried chicken and the brisket. You would never know the chicken was gluten free and the brisket was so tender you could cut it with a fork. Seriously heavenly food! Highly recommend!
Delicious selection of GF comfort food items like fried chicken, meatloaf, shrimp n’ grits, and pickled fried green tomatoes.
