EXCELLENT food and very confident in their ability to serve according to celiac needs. Owner is very knowledgeable and was incredibly personable to ensure that I had a good experience. You can tell they have high quality meats, much better than most fast food BBQ. I highly recommend.

I have eaten here many times and have not had an issue. The owner is awesome and totally understands Celiac. He goes out of his way to make it a good experience.

I was very impressed, the owner was knowledgeable about Celiac disease. The only gluten there is the bun and beer. Amazing food, I will definitely be back!

Owner came to take our order and was very knowledgeable about Celiac. All meats, sauces, sides, and fries are gluten free. The coleslaw has some kind of distilled vinegar though. They cleaned the grill and utensils after the last food was cooked. Definitely the best BBQ I have had in Minnesota. The meat was smoky and flavorful. I liked the food with just a little sauce as the meat was fantastic on its own. Great food and great service. We will be back often!

Had the brisket and pulled pork with fries and coleslaw. Owner informed me that it had vinegar in it. He is very very knowledgeable when it comes to gluten with 2 people on his wife's side that have it. They are in the process of getting all separate and new utensils. He is getting tongs with purple handles since purple represents allergies. He even told me to be safe and use a napkin to push down on the sauce pumps. I went right at 11 and as soon as I sat down it got busy. He should definitely open a second place south of the cities and have a food truck downtown Minneapolis. Now as far as the food goes... it looks really good and man the taste is just great!

Food very one dimensional. Relies heavily on dry rub. Barbecue sauces were watery with a strong vinegar taste. Fries are gluten free. Food is gluten free, but I prefer more flavor in my food. Order at counter food delivered to table. You will leave smelling like you've been at a smokehouse.

Phenomenal smoked food. The owner has a celiac family member so he knows 1st hand what's gf, and about cross contaminant ion. Food was simply- outstanding! I'd highly recommend to anyone. I had the ribs & pulled pork, they were both fabulous.

Amazing. Before I ordered I told him I have Celiac. His wife has 2 people with celiac in the family. The only thing in the menu that I couldn't have was a bun. Didn't need one. The food is amazing, big portions, fantastic REAL BBQ! Worth the drive! Will be back, with friends in tow!

This is a great place! I'm very selective about where I eat due to my gluten issues. Met the owner, Zach on my first visit. He is very celiac conscious and makes you feel right at home. I can eat almost everything on the menu except for the buns. But at this place, you sure don't need a bun. Delicious!!

Great Q, nice variety of sauces and very concerned with Celiac health. they asked for the gluten free members of our party to order first so they could clean all equipment and surfaces for us.

I am torn. This restaurant is very gluten free friendly, but the food was atrocious! We went on a Saturday night with our children, when we pulled up we were shocked to see that it wasn't busy, we had been worried, considering the timing. I know understand why. It was not edible. The meat was disgusting in both taste and texture, the fry seasoning was overpowering and off putting. I was so excited to try this place, but alas I am disappointed. Skip this place.

Great food. French fries are fantastic. They are the classic Texas BBQ joint; pick your meat, pick your sides. Nothing fancy, just delicious finger licking smoky bbq. And no worries about gluten contamination.

Outstanding food! I've been to a lot of BBQ restaurants and ZZQ ranks right up there with the best. Only the bun has gluten. Every side and sauce is GF. Very friendly. Go to this place!

Fellow at the restaurant is very knowledgeable and friendly. Best of all, everything except the bread is gluten free. The food is excellent! My favorites were the ribs, pulled pork and brisket. The menu is simple but that is OK! Try the spicy, sweet & smokey sauces together. YUM.

Excellent food! Manager is extremely knowledgeable of gluten free needs and other food allergies/sensitivities. Had the 3 meat plate with some extremely tender and delicious ribs. Highly recommend!

Passing through town and this place came up on my GF App. I am so glad we stopped. This BBQ and smokehouse has an authentic taste and it really hit the spot for hungry travelers. Simple: 4 Meat options (chicken, brisket, pork and ribs) and 4 sides (fries, beans, coleslaw and potato salad). It's worth the trip. Food is outstanding. Place is clean, staff smiles, Zach the owner will make sure your GF needs are met. Dedicated frier, utensils cleaned, and all the sauces are gluten free. We are up visiting from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and will definitely stop by again. Hungry? Check back Sunday - Zach has a "burnt ends" brisket special. I can't wait!

A must for meat lovers with celiacs or a sensitivity. Owner Zach takes every precaution with cross contamination including dedicated friers. Let them know you're gluten free and they will wash everything. Only thing you cannot have is the bun. I'll be back!
