Order pulled chicken 1/4 pound it was amazing. Best chicken and absolutely no reaction. You can do 1/4, 1/2 and 1 pound of most of there meats. 2nd time chicken was so dry couldn’t eat it. It’s hit or miss. I won’t take a chance on any sides I just stay with the meat.

Online allergy menu features many items made without wheat gluten. More than likely a lot of cross contamination because I definitely had a reaction later that day.

Enjoyed my sliced pork, cole slaw, baked beans & fries. All were GF/Celiac friendly. The fries are cooked in their own fryer. When I advised that I have celiac disease, the waitress assured me that the kitchen would change gloves to prepare my to-go order. Also assured me that serving clean utensils would be used to slice pork, spoon beans, etc….

Yummy, safe BBQ- yay!!

Sonny’s has GF meat, sauce and sides. They have a separate GF menu that list foods that have gluten in them.

I usually get sliced pork, chicken or ribs for my meat. Sides: baked beans, corn on cob or baked potato (if available).

Tell the waitress that is a gluten allergy, place your order and request No Bread and if the cooks would change thegloves you would appreciate that. Sonny’s has great BBQ.

Sonny’s has very good food. I have been at several different Sonny’s and have never had an issue. They do have a very old allergy menu that you can get an idea of what they offer. Basically, you can have meat, all sauces, baked beans, corn and backed potato(if offered). There may be a few more sides. I usually ask for sliced pork and double backed beans. Tell waitress/waiter about “gluten allergy” and say that you don’t want any bread and please change gloves.

The waitress brought me an alergen menu that listed all of the menu items and what was gluten free friendly. She informed the kitchen that I was Celiac. It was easy to order, I had the sampler platter, and it was delicious! I chose a salad without croutons as one of my sides and it was the nicest dinner salad I've had in ages. I did not have any symptoms from eating there and I will definately go back any time I am in the area. Friendly and cheerful staff that went above and beyond.

Chain BBQ restaurant. Has a menu that breaks down allergens. Mom had brisket and a baked potato, I had loaded tots with pork bbq without the fried onion straws. The items on the allergen menu help distinguish what is safe to eat. My mom reacts to gluten & I don’t, but she has eaten here multiple times with no reaction.

Our waiter was amazing, food came out quick and delicious. He said all the bbq sauces are GF. The menu was easy enough, just pick something and see if it's on the "contains gluten" list. I had the bbq salad with pulled pork requested no fried onion topping. Food was good. I feel it safe to eat here.

Tasty food, good portions. The bbq sauce is gluten free. The waitstaff was knowledgeable about GF options. The hostess was gluten sensitive, and told me she wouldn’t trust the kitchen on super busy days if cross contamination bothers me without triple checking they are following the right procedure. Both she and my waitress told the kitchen I was super sensitive and to change their gloves and clean off the kitchen space. When the food came out a man from the kitchen came with it to assure me they had taken precautions to avoid cross contamination. I have eaten here twice and have not gotten sick.

Warning the allergen menu says the sauces are GF. However, when I called was told all Sauces had Gluten. We got all meats with no sauce and the only sides gluten free were corn, broccoli, and coleslaw. That said the meat was very Smokey and flavorful without the sauce and the corn was really great.

They have a menu that specifies the items that have gluten in them. I spoke with the waitress and she helped me find some delicious options. There are tons of items to get here that don't contain gluten. Meats/entrees, sides, big dinner salads, etc. Also, she marked it on the ticket that I was GF without me even asking and she even mentioned that she would have staff change gloves and she would personally check on my food to make sure it was safe. I was very impressed with her level of concern even though I didn't make a big deal of it at the table.

Note: double check the gluten items, because even their green beans say they contain gluten. I wouldn't have thought that, so I was glad I checked. I ordered pulled pork bbq, baked sweet potato, broccoli, and coleslaw. Also, ask for Grace. She's is the most amazing waitress and you won't regret sitting in her section!

Manager made sure to take my order personally. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. I don’t need gloves changed or anything so I don’t know that process but it sounded like he would have required it if I had asked.Gf menu is part of the allergy menu that lists what you can’t have. Only issue I saw with the menu was that french fries weren’t listed but are cooked in a shared fryer. Everyone was really nice and understanding. Love the remodel too :p

I eat here often and most of the time without issues. They love to put bread on you plate though. Instead of ordering the meals I choose to order meat by the 1/2 pound and gluten free sides by their self. It seems to help.

Many of my family members are gluten intolerant and my sister in law has celiacs and this is their go to every time they come into town so there is things that can be eaten and is celiac friendly! Oh and Navy Blvd is our preferred restaurant as well!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very friendly. Waitress double checked a few thing for to make sure it was safe French Fries are cooked in with other stuff so not a safe option. They have a allergies list to cross check the menu to. Will be back in the. Future

Server (April) was very aware of gluten and made sure I was taken care of. Had the baby back ribs- without sauce- excellent. Will be returning

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Several GF options, sides and sauces.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

No dedicated GF menu and said everything has the potential to have gluten in it. Not sure how this made the list...

Celiac friendly?

No

allergen menu available online of what items on the menu are NOT gluten free. I had baby back ribs with BBQ beans on the side and informed my server that I was GF and emphasized to not put any type of bread on my plate (meals come with choice of cornbread or garlic bread). She was understanding and offered to have the staff change their gloves to plate my food. good experience, good BBQ that I felt safe eating
