The best gluten free bbq around!! So impressed with their knowledge and variety of items. I was told that the owners wife has celiac disease, hence why they know what they’re doing. So so pleased with our meal. We will be back!

They specifically have a section about celiac disease, and note that you can have almost everything on the menu. One of the most "regular" dining experiences I've had since my diagnosis.

Dedicated fryer so the fries were fantastic (as well as everything else), and I had zero worry about cross contamination.

Great place for celiac dining. They are know how to prep to prevent CC. They have GF buns for their burgers. They don’t fry any gluten products in their fryer so the fries are safe.

We ate the chef's tasting platter which included pork back ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, house-made bacon, wings, sweet potato fries, regular fries, coleslaw, and BBQ beans.Everything was amazing. Staff was knowledgeable. And the one item I couldn't have (gravy) was pointed out and separated.

We ordered the takeout BBQ with fries - all gluten free. I am a coeliac and extremely sensitive to gluten. All amazing. Service was incredible.

The review above states he was offered malt vinegar. Malt vinegar is considered to be gf as it is distilled and results in less than 20 ppm. I’ve never had any issues eating here.

Lots of GF options. Fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer, all sauces are Gf, menu is marked with GF options. Server was knowledgeable and informed the kitchen, but did offer me malt vinegar for the fries so slight room for improvement. Quality of food is amazing and the portions are a good size. Will be back here for sure.
