I would not recommend this place if you’re gluten sensitive or celiac.

I was very hopeful when I went in, they have an allergen menu and seemed like they were accommodating after I told them I am a diagnosed celiac.

First issue is that you will have to make some assumptions between the allergen menu and main menu and there are not a lot of options for you to eat.

I made my order with no problem, I got a salad and it came out with no croutons. I thought this is a good sign. However, when I got my meal, there was a piece of bread nestled between my proteins. I told the server that I needed to have it remade. Here is where the trouble starts. The server was annoyed and said she can just take the bread off. I insisted that it was remade and she walked off angrily.

When she brought my food again it looked like it was just thrown on my plate but no bread. I accepted it and did not think about it until a few hours later when I was in the restroom suffering from being glutened.

Thinking back to what the plate looked like, it looks like she just removed the bread and some of the meat that may have been touching the bread.

This place is not safe!

We asked for a GF menu and our waitress said they discontinued it because they sometimes have to make substitutions and cannot guarantee GF. Sigh. We've eaten here once before so we decided to make our safest choices, take the risk and eat. We ate ribs, pulled pork and brisket with the mild BBQ sauce, corn and coleslaw.

The food was good and after a few hours neither my son nor I have had any symptoms of contamination. We probably won't return though. Sad to see so few safe GF options between between Dallas and OKC.

I have tried rib crib a couple times after calling and being told their gluten free options. Sadly I always get sick after. I wouldn’t chance it.

They have a gluten free menu and are very accommodating. Nima tests came back GF on their recommendations. Be sure to ask for the individually packaged version of their mild BBQ sauce, instead of shared bottle.

We called for gluten order of pulled pork and polish sausage, there was toast in same container not separated so they clearly don’t understand cross contamination and i got sick. The potatoes tasted off too. Have to tell them specifically don’t let bread be in same container etc if want to try to eat here and majority of their staff have no idea what gluten is.

Only pulled pork or polish sausage available for meats and then veggies or mashed potatoes without gravy. Not many options

Don’t understand what gluten is so have to be specific to ask for bread to be in separate container and sauce etc.

The staff was very knowledgeable about their gluten free offerings. They had a gluten free menu. The chef was very careful and prepared the sides separately for me. They also gave me individually sealed BBQ sauce to prevent cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Limited choices but staff was able to provide a list of gluten free meats and sides. Staff was attentive to questions and even checked with the kitchen staff when needed.

Food is ok. Service was a nightmareand it wasn't busy for a father's day/Sunday. No pulled pork on a known eating out holiday. After ordering we waited about 45 minutes for the order. Then, I ordered gluten free due to celiac and my plate has bread laying on the food. 15 minutes later I get my new plate with one third of the food missing (three meat plate). No manager visit, no discount. We had to wait another 15 minutes for the bill. I could give some slack if the place was slammed but it was far from that. And yes I worked in restuarant so I do understand how things can get.

Despite a “gluten free” menu, giving serious instructions, I was very ill within minutes of leaving the restaurant. Will not be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Whole menu contains gluten in it

Celiac friendly?

No

They say on website that they have glutten free but our great waitress went and double checked all the ingredients. All the meat is seasoned with rub which contains wheat. So unless you just want salad don't plan on eating meat.

Celiac friendly?

No

Stay away...got sick and it's dirty. Opens at 11:00 got there at 11:10 and bathroom was trashed.

Celiac friendly?

No

This place was delicious! We ordered to - go, and even though I forgot to say no bread (on the 2 meat plate), they were nice enough to make us a brand new order. I really appreciate the care they took in remaking my plate!

We ate here in April 2014, I was NOT impressed which is strange considering I've had a MUCH better experience @ the locations in Springfield, MO! They were "out" of any meat I could have minus the Sausage for starters. Then, my salad came & it had croutons. I had ordered my boys the fries which were technically safe. Also, most of my husband's meal was safe for me & I have Celiac! I called a Spfld location to verify what I could & couldn't have...same suppliers & exact same menu. I was lied to about what was an available option. I felt like they just wanted us to leave so they tried to make it as difficult as possible on me.

Food was very good. Loved the loaded baked potato. They give you a very well done allergy list. The kitchen tries to be very careful for a gluten free person.

Celiac friendly?

No

Allergen menu available online only, not in store. Gluten free options available but staff was not knowledgeable, and put bread on my plate after requesting no bread. Corrective action was simply removing the bread, not building a new plate. Service was poor and bills had mistakes as well. Only beer available, no ciders.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff knows is aware of gluten free. Food is always great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their seasoning contains gluten and menu has contradictory menu items.

Waitress couldn't tell me what was gluten free, brought me a 12 page document that broke out allergens. Still couldn't answer if entrees were considered containing wheat because bread came with meal. She asked the cooks, they didn't know. I settled for a hamburger, minus bun. Terrible.....meat was tough, gristly and dry. I don't recommend this restaurant , period

Celiac friendly?

No

We had a very disappointing experience there. The workers seemed to know nothing about eating gluten free and while they do have an "allergen list", when we asked questions about it we were told "your best bet is the list." Really??? We never got an answer about whether "wheat" on their list encompasses the whole gluten family or just wheat. The ribs and brisket were listed as Y for wheat so were not considered safe for our son with Celiac to eat so we felt the actual gluten free selections were very limited. We are from out of town and are use to pretty much everything on the menu at our local bbq place being gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

There are only three things available.

Celiac friendly?

No

Only have hamburger, baked potato and broccoli. No gluten free ribs or fries.

Very easy to eat GF, website explains choices with an allergen list. Love smoked chicken!

I checked their web-site and they said to order something smoked and not the ranch beans. I ordered baby back ribs and baked beans. Be sure to tell them not to put the bread on your plate and only use the mild sauce. It was an excellent meal and never a symptom.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
