Server was informative and checked with the kitchen to verify. I had the Carolina BBQ Sandwich minus the sauce. The gluten free bun was actually soft and tasted very good. I had no issues. Great food!!

Menu is not clearly marked with GF items but staff was super knowledgeable and accommodating. All their BBQ meats are gf without the sauces. I ended up getting a pulled pork sandwich with GF bun, side of potato salad and it was really good. I sat at the bar and the bartender went back to inform the kitchen and the manger of celiac severity. 10/10 service and cautious of cross contact. I did not get sick and finally ate something other than a Kind Bar on my work trip! :)

Went here because of the menu. When I arrived both items that were GF were no longer GF as they changed the sauce but I was offered a salad without croutons.

Many menu items marked as GF. Most of the BBQ meats are GF if ordered without the corn bread. Quality BBQ, super friendly staff. Manager came out to discuss gluten free order.

Use caution. Came one night and had the “Trash Ribs” which are labeled GF and the server said they were fine. Came back two days later and ordered the same thing and a different server told me that if I have Celiac I can’t have the Trash Ribs because the BBQ sauce has gluten in it. I appreciated her telling me. By the way, I did not have a reaction from the first night so I’m grateful for that. But I skipped the ribs the second time just to be safe. My advice is to eat at your own risk here even if things are labeled gluten free.

WOW!!!!!!

Disclaimer; I am not diagnosed Celiac, I refuse to eat gluten to get tested, I went gf on my own 3 years ago and I am very strict with cross contamination. I am Canadian

First of all, our waitress was Bri, her mother if GF and so is she so I was super comfortable with her knowledge about gf. There were A LOT of options for burgers, sandwiches, smoked meats, bbq sauce! Their jalapeño/ mango isn’t gf but the 2 others are! On the menu, some things are marked gf, she said any of their smoked meat sandwiches can be put on the gf bun, I had the smoked Turkey club with potato salad and coleslaw…SOOOOO TASTY! And the bun didn’t crumble in my hands. I had absolutely zero reaction! Very impressed!!!! Good job! lol

Awful experience. We weren't asked about allergies. The server asked the manager for help, two people who looked like managers came to our table to check in and we still found out they gave my husband garlic which he also can't have after he'd eaten half his plate. In 2 years no other place has made this mistake.

Do not go here, they were condescending about having given him the wrong thing as well.

Food was great! Atmosphere was loud but fun. Server said they are required to ask about allergies. She did tell me all the sauces were gluten free but found out later the Jalapeño & Mango is not. Bun fell apart a little but had great flavor.

Phenomal. I was so relieved that right when I sat down we were asked if there were any allergies at the table. The staff were very knowledgeable about gluten in sauces as well as cross contact on the fryers. I got a burger with GF bun and it was so crispy and did not fall apart!

The pulled pork sandwich with a gluten free bun is delicious! Our server Tanya was knowledgeable about gluten free options. Avoid the jalapeño mango sauce as that does have gluten. Highly recommend!

Server was knowledgeable about guten free. We had the bbq pulled chicken with carolina pulled pork sandwich with a gluten free bun. The BBQ sauce was gluten free. It tasted great. Would recommend. Don't get the fries, no dedicated frier.

The server informed me that they now have gluten free barbecue sauce, having waited the amount time for contamination to clear. So I ate it with confidence and had no reaction. I ordered their ribs with potato salad and coleslaw which are two of their three gf sides offered. My husband ordered the collard greens, their third gf side, and it was good with bits of bacon in it. I said no cornbread but it came on my plate anyway. So, cross contamination is still likely even with the sauce fixed. Also my ribs were pretty dry. The prices were pretty decent for Vegas on the strip standards, my rib plate was $30.

This place was rough. Was hoping for BBQ but found out (very rudly) that the sauce was not gluten free. When asking questions about the sauce on the wings to be sure it was gluten free, service was less than polite. Burgers were all labeled gluten free if on a gluten free bun and the same server said they were all gluten free, but upon asking more questions, was told the Chipotle aoli was not gluten free (a sauce on the gluten free burger) and noticed that one of the gluten free burgers had onion rings on it. Server wasn't sure if the guacamole had gluten which seemed unlikely but showed the lack of knowledge of celiac disease. I ended up leaving and going elsewhere.

Great experience. We sat at the bar and even the bartender was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free. He was very understanding and patient. Unfortunately their bbq sauce is not gluten free however.

we went for breakfast. I got the country breakfast which I would Rate 5 stars, my dad got the chef’s fave burrito (not Gf) which he would rate 3stars. The sausage and potatoes were delicious as well as the egg that was cooked perfectly!

Gf marked on the menu- there were only two options for breakfast. The server didn’t seem extremely knowledgeable about Gf but she put it on the order to let the chef know and I felt fine all day after!

Beware - not all items are gluten free, they have the option for a gluten free rolls, however the meats are not gluten free. Ask your server to confirm it is gluten free, or ask the manager - not good for celiac individuals

I ended up with a tasty, yet small, thin slices ribeye stake and a side salad salad for $30. I am leaving hungry. I could have had the potato salad and coleslaw, but I'm not a huge fan. They do have gluten free buns for their hamburgers, but their fries are not gluten free. The only side options are potato salad and coleslaw, or you can chose one side salad.

The ribs were awesome. All their bbq sauce is GF and made In house. The staff was super helpful in making sure what I ordered was gluten free. Even the manager came over to check in. Not a ton of gluten free side options, but the ribs made up for that.

The menu was clearly marked with GF after many options. Although they didn’t have a dedicated fryer, they had several side options. I had a sandwich with a delicious gluten free bun.
