After eating half of my meal I noticed there was macaroni noodles in my beans. I had specified to the waitress multiple times that I was highly allergic. She then proceeded to tell me that I would be fine because I didn’t eat the noodle. Terrible service.

Has a GF menu at this writing expecting new version. Menu list variety of GF ribs... warning: BBQ sauces contain modified food starch! Akin to gluten and may cause symptomatic reaction(s).

Menu labeled gf however they share a fryer. Their spices do not say gf on the bottle but that’s what they use. Baked beans are from Bush’s can and green beans are from a can too (per waitress). Talked with the manager and he was clueless. Very disappointed, but thankful I didn’t get sick.

Awesome BBQ. The smoked pulled chicken was amazing. Every sauce I checked was marked as GF, so lots of choices.

Note - I was told that the gluten free menu has changed a little from the printed copy, but lots of choices still. They may not have the gf buns, the host told me they didn't have them anymore. But don't let that deter you, you can find something else great to eat on the menu.

Enjoyed having A chicken and rib combo with coleslaw and beans and a choice of GF sauces. Was offered a GF bottle of beer which made a change too. Meat fell clean off the rib bone. Was not glutened👍🏼 standard warning at Top of menu re cross contamination see photo.

We ordered off the GF menu and the manager told us they had a new cook and the dedicated fryer was possibly contaminated. Better options in charleston for GF bbq.

Ate there twice on our 3 day stay in Charleston. Had the wings, ribs, smoked chicken and brisket. All sauces are gluten free. Cole slaw and beans are gluten free. So many options on their gluten free menu. Great staff that were so helpful and knowledgeable each time we were there. I’m extremely sensitive and ate there with complete confidence.

Separate gluten free menu. Awesome wings! All of their sauces were gluten free. Went with my husband on our honeymoon— I’m gluten free but he isn’t, and we both loved it!

We went here many times during our stay in Charleston and I did not get sick one time! The servers were not surprised about celiac disease like they had never heard of it before, they did offer up different options and were helpful! I felt safe eating here and I could relax. I asked the kitchen staff to change gloves but they already knew about cross contamination! Awesome! The food is excellent!

They had a separate gf menu and happily gave me a substitute for the sides. The pulled pork was much better than the ribs as I felt they were burnt. Casual dining establishment so a worthy effort.

Large GF menu, but beware…I ordered the baked beans because they were “safe”. After eating about 1/4 of them, I found a random macaroni noodle in it.

My husband and I split the Rib Sampler for Two. The waitress wasn't sure if the dry rub was gluten free but all of the sauces were safe to eat. We had the collards, beans, and potato salad for our sides. Great food, great service, and I didn't get sick!
