The safest meat to order is shrimp because it isn’t cooked on the grill. All other meats are cooked on the grill and the bread touches the same area (they grill the meat and bread right beside each other).

All salads come with an orange roll. You must ask to have it removed!! If you tell them you have an allergy / celiac, it won’t be removed or put on the side unless you ask them to remove it.

They DEFINITELY will change gloves for you and will tell the cooks you have an allergy.

These are the things you shouldn’t order if you have an allergy or celiac

- don’t order rice pilaf (chicken base isn’t GF) - no hot cheddar pasta (Mac n cheese) - steak, grilled chicken, grilled turkey, ham (all except for shrimp) are cooked on shared grill with breads used for sandwiches. - all their soups have flour - bacon is also cooked on stove

Shrimp is cooked on its own in a big green egg

The chicken salad, pimento cheese, are fine and are yummy

If you order the chicken salad and fruit plate, that comes with an orange roll so you have to ask them to remove it.

If you want dessert, their milkshakes are the best I’ve ever had and you can probably ask for just a scoop of ice cream if you want.

Meals I’ve ordered and liked that are definitely FOR SURE safe for someone with celiac (ask to change gloves)

* Pepper patch salad + shrimp (no roll)

* Berry Good salad + chicken salad / pimento (no roll)

*local mix salad (removed bacon) + shrimp

All salad dressings and sauces are 100% GF as well.

Usually if you call with questions, they’re more than happy to give you the info they need!
