initially very hopeful then very disappointed. gluten free markings on the menu and the server made a note to the kitchen. still had unsafe bread on my order.
ribs 6/10 - fine, nothing special
brisket 4/10 - underseasoned and chewy
Pretty good food, great buns, great sauce. I was personally limited on the side options because i don’t eat red meat and all their sides except salad and coleslaw have meat in them. However! the food was still really good, the service was amazing, she triple checked everything i ordered and came out was cooked separately. I would absolutely go back! Also ask for Molly if she’s there, her sister has celiac so she was insanely nicer than anyone i’ve ever met. I’m very symptomatic celiac and i didn’t get sick after.
SOOOOOO good and they know what to do to keep me/us safe! The menu is VERY clearly marked. The staff are educated and happy to help navigate. It's always nice to actually be able to relax when dining out with celiac disease. I did exactly that while here.

I loved my food at their sister location a few years back. They told me they were opening a new location in Norfolk so I was so excited to try! We have been here twice since they opened and it is really delicious BBQ. I get the smoked beef brisket platter with a side Caesar salad (minus the croutons). It’s always juicy and tender. The fries unfortunately are not fried in a decorated fryer, but I don’t mind because the Caesar salad is refreshing. A huge portion of their menu is labeled gluten free (including the sides). They even note on the menu that their spicy Texas sauce isn’t GF, which I appreciate not having to ask about the sauces. My waiter wasn’t the most knowledgeable, but didn’t mind asking the kitchen any questions I had. Excellent food and service and the atmosphere is awesome! Also the prices are extremely reasonable compared to Mission BBQ.
My server was great (had a nut allergy so knew to be careful) and answered all my questions (checking with the kitchen for answers). They had GF buns but was told they warm them on the griddle, so I skipped the bun. I got brisket, and one or two of the BBQ sauces we're GF.
