Gluten-Free at Dickey's Barbecue Pit
Barbecue Restaurant
The baked potato with pulled pork is delicious.
Most items on the menu are gf but you have to ask to see the items that are marked. I had brisket topped with cheddar and onions on a baked potato. All meat and sauces are gf. Caesar salad has gluten so beware but other salads are fine. Sides are all gf also. The baked potatoes are HUGE!. Definitely a place to come back to for bbq
Dickey’s had several protein items that are gluten free and several other “free” items as well. They have a robust nutritional guide online.
Everyone wanted BBQ, had baked potatoes on menu. Went to order after others in group had ordered and of course no potatoes. Very disappointing. Ended up with a side of plain meat. This location at least is not recommended.
They have definitely improved their gluten free policies.
They had what was gluten free and not gluten free listed on paper taped to the counter. When I mentioned I was gluten free they immediately got a new cutting board and opened new meat.
I can’t say enough about how wonderful this restaurant is.
When I asked about gluten free , James explained all of my options and was extremely helpful.
Aaron and Twanna were incredibly friendly.
I had the green beans which were so good that I devoured them.
The brisket was both tender and well seasoned. The mashed potato casserole was also great.
I was informed that they offer ice cream for dessert at no charge. The ice cream is both gluten free and dairy free minus the cone.
Unfortunately, I was too full and declined.
The restaurant is very clean and has outdoor seating. I mention the cleanliness because, as you know, the slightest amount of gluten can cause us to be sick for days.
That being said, please keep this restaurant in mind when craving barbecue. As I said , James , Twanna and Aaron are extremely pleasant , helpful and go out of their way to make sure that you have a great experience.
Saw workers grabbing buns with their hands and then putting their hands in the baskets of meat, contaminating everything. Couldnt trust any meat after that
I enjoyed the GIANT loaded baked potato (bbq brisket atop a potato) and it was good. The service is wonderful, warm, and careful. They confirmed the meat is GF.
Wonderful experience! The owner was very knowledgeable and truly cared about making sure the order was safe including changing gloves and reminding others working as well.
We’ve gotten to go food here for family dinners a few times while visiting in-laws. The meats are all GF and most of the sides as well. My celiac daughter ate the chicken and brisket with beans and coleslaw without any issues.
Love this place. Great staff with allergen list.
This location is closed "due to economic reasons"
Was told the meats were gluten free but were cross contaminated. I looked at the prep area and it was a mess. Person behind the counter recommended I not eat there as it was not safe.
Most meats are GF, some of the sides as well. When I mentioned that I am gluten sensitive, she changed gloves and utensils. BBQ sauces are GF as well. Appreciate the attention to detail.
Good food but cross contamination was bad. Last few times got sick
Ok, if you look on the paper allergen menu off to the side taped to the wall. They do have everything with wheat listed, but without a big GF next to menu items, it takes a while to read. Teenage girl at checkout did no not to offer me bread. It's ok, but you have to be careful. Not ideal for celiacs.
Bad - cannot read directions to simply omit bread.
Although they do have some gluten free options i’m very disappointed to see people saying they have a lot of gluten free options. The only gluten free side they have is fries and those are fried in the same place as gluten items….. Not even all of their meat is gluten free. If you come here please talk to the employees beforehand because they seriously hardly had options for me. This place really shouldn’t be as highly rated as it is. **UPDATE** shortly after consuming my food i had a terrible stomach ache and was in the bathroom all night. If you’re highly sensitive to gluten do not come here, barely any options and the ones they do have will probably make you sick anyways đą
Great BBQ a place. It’s a walk up to the counter and order. Most of the meats are GF. Green beans, Cole slaw and potato salad are GF. The fryer is shared, so that is not GF. Let them know it is a cross contamination issue. They will change gloves.
The staff was SO kind.
They answered my questions about ingredients and changed surfaces, knives and gloves đ©·
I had brisket
BBQ sauce and potato salad with no issues.
Definitely recommend!!!
We’ve had all the GF BBQ meats in this place. BBQ sauce is gf.
Meats are pretty good
This BBQ restaurant in Terminal C at the DFW airport offers meat platters or a baked potato with smoked meat. Order extra BBQ sauce!
At least they knowledgeable about the meats bring GF with eggs it provides a hearty, but not particularly great, breakfast option.
Stopped here for breakfast. Terminal C. Hidden gem. All meat is GF and they had eggs and bacon. Nicest service. Delicious. Reasonable price. I'm happy!
The owner personally went through all ingredients and prep methods of menu items to ensure my safety. Most items on menu were gluten free. Fries and wings are NOT gluten free.
Came here after my daughter’s soccer game across the street. I am gluten sensitive but not celiac so I do not need to be careful about cross contamination. I have always found BBQ to be a good bet. Their meats are not presauced so you can chose whether you want sauce at all. They have a giant loaded potato option where you can add a smoked meat. It was very clean and the people were very friendly.
I saw a gluten-free list of foods from Dickey's online so I figured I would try it out. I got to the store and told the person working I had celiac disease. They didn't know what celiac was, so I reworded it as "gluten allergy" (I know, I know) and asked if they knew which menu items were gluten free. They still had no idea what I was even talking about and looked at me like a deer in headlights. Oh well, this is common, but regardless, a lack of knowledge = a lack of safety in most cases. I stupidly ended up just going off of what the online list said was safe (pulled pork, baked beans, baked potato casserole). I'm incredibly sick today. I knew better but still just wanted to share my experience. Do not recommend if you have celiac disease. The meat was also cold, and it just didn't taste good anyway.
No longer in business in Hanover.
I walked into the dickies on 122nd and center and asked them if they knew anything about gluten free. The cook pointed at the manager and the manager instructed the cook to change his gloves knife and plate. The manager told me all the meat bbq sauce and a couple sides including baked beans were gluten free. I ate my meal and didn’t get sick.
Great food. I got the brisket plate with two sides, green beans and potato casserole. The potato casserole is mashed potatoes with all the fixings of a loaded baked potato, so seemed gluten free. I also ate the original bbq sauce and had no problems, but then again I'm only gluten intolerant.
Service was great, very friendly staff. Would eat there again.
Ordered food here with explicit instructions I had Celiac disease and not to include any bread with my order. Bread was sitting right on top of the food I ordered…
They were careful and looked out for me. Great staff.
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT!!!!
The new owners are very knowledgeable about GF and have a TON of GF choices!! Not a dedicated fryer, but the BBQ is free and most or all of the sauces. Just tell them no rolls! :-)
I’m newly diagnosed as Celiac and eating out is still an Awkward and sometimes painful experience but NOT HERE. We arrived an hour before closing and the staff was still super friendly and accommodating. Both ladies were knowledgeable and knew exactly what was and wasn’t safe. Took all the steps to avoid any chance of cross contamination. They even gave me a list of all the safe things on their menu to take home with me! The food is delicious too. I can’t brag enough on this place. Total win for Celiac and gluten intolerance!!
Went into store and said nothing is gluten free! DONT got there at all!!
Staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. Once they heard gluten free, everyone handling food changed gloves. Most of the items on the menu are gluten free. The pig out platter was awesome. We will return for more.
Food is good! Lots of gluten free options on their allergen menu. I’ve had the jalapeño cheddar sausage, pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. Spicy bbq sauce and regular bbq sauce are good, and so are the pickles.
The manager was very nice and his wife is gluten free. All meats and most vegetables are gluten free.
Staff had no idea but I found online in FAQ some info
They forgot to change gloves, clean things, and they appeared to be high. Would not recommend
There is no gluten free specific menu, but when you ask, they do have a food allergen chart.
My boyfriend who is celiac ordered the pulled pork, slaw and potato salad. They knew what celiac was and put new gloves on and got a new cutting board out. He did not get sick. Side note, this place is kind of loud.
Dickey's I'd a great place that I go to regularly. They have great potatoes, and you can order a sandwich with no bun or bring your own bun if you want. They have great sides, and great service. If you ask for them to change their gloves, they will. They have an ice cream machine, but it is currently out of order and it doesn't seem like they will fix it anytime soon.
I asked for the gluten free menu and they gave me a sheet of paper that listed the Barbecue Meats that were safe - Texas style beef brisket, sliced beef brisket, honey barbecue ham, tender turkey breast, old recipe sausage, and Spivey cheddar sausage. I don’t eat red meat so that left only turkey. Then it listed the safe Sides - coleslaw, potato salad, green beans with bacon, Caesar salad, chips, and waffle iron fires. The chips were a bag of Lay’s that said gluten free although not certified and they said this location didn’t have the fries.
My server did wash his hands, use a separate tray for my order (separate from my husband’s that contained gluten), and put gloves on. It was presumably safe although also disappointing to have three slabs of pressed turkey and soggy green beans with bacon I tried to avoid.
Note: I have celiac but no immediate reactions so I can’t be sure when I get exposed.
They have BBQ, sauces and rubs that are all GF. When I told them I had allergies they wiped down the entire line, changed gloves and used new utensils to avoid cross contamination.
Got the Chicken, BBQ beans, and Green beans with normal BBQ sauce (no roll). Overall it was good. Chicken didn’t have much flavor though… BBQ beans were delicious and the green beans were good.
Tried it was not very good as cooked ahead and in a warmer. The ribs were dried out so was the brisket. Did not taste like it was made the same day.
I’ve eaten at Dickey’s in other locations and saw this one while traveling. I asked for brisket and they asked how I wanted it sliced. I said not at all because of gluten. They then told they don’t have any thing that’s gluten free. I don’t particularly think the employees understood what I was asking but did not risk eating here.
Excellent service. Fantastic food.lots of GF options.There is a separate cutting board area and knives where gf food is prepared for customers. They do ask and offer if change of gloves are needed. No reactions in my son with celiac. I highly recommend and would go again.
