Such delicious food and knowledgeable staff! I ordered online and added that I was gf in the comments, and they ended up calling me to ask if I wanted a third side for free since I wasn’t getting the bread. Always appreciate that!!

We were in town for a college visit. Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination. No one had any reactions. We felt so comfortable we ate there twice!

They know how to handle food for is Celiacs, and take it seriously. One of the girls who works there also has Celiac and went out of her way to make sure I was taken care of. Good food, great care, and I feel safe ordering here.

Separate gluten free menu for items that are gluten free. Was able to substitute out the toast that came with my meal for another side without an extra charge. The food was great.

Tried this restaurant based on reviews. Stopped in for take out and I told them several times gf. When I got our food I checked to make sure gf. One meal had bread sitting on food. They apologized and gave me all new food. Made us nervous. In the end food was good and no issues after getting new food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We love the food (especially the turkey) and can get dairy free as well as gluten free. I wish we could order more plant-based foods there. We'd go more if it wasn't such a risk compromising my health.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have been to the Bandana in Cape Girardeau MO twice and the one in Arnold once.. Both locations were great. They took the "Allergy" seriously. We had great experiences all times. The most recent time we were there they caught an accidental slip. The staff in back accidentally put the bread on the plate. The waitress asked us to make sure it was an allergy as I had just said we are all gluten free. My fault on that it won't happen again. But when said yes a young man came to the table and said I am very sorry but we need to remake all your meals as bread touched them. I was impressed I know some places that would just take the bread off and not say a word. They remade our meals and all was well. The manager and waitress both apologized. several times. We explained that we understood but we were happy they had fixed the problem. We did not get sick. Life is good.. The food was excellent and there are many gf options. We love Bandana.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food. Accommodating. Good BBQ.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic option. Almost everything on the menu is gluten free (ALL of those sauces, meats, and most of their sides). Every time we tell them no garlic bread because of my husband's gluten issues, they not only offer him an additional side, but the manager has frequently come out to discuss the options if he has a concern. No separate GF menu, but no need since most items are safe and staff/mgmt are very knowledgable.

Super delicious bbq and pretty safe. They have a GF menu and allergens list. All the sauces and meats are GF! I’ve eaten here a couple of times and have never had a problem.

Slow service, ordered no garlic bread baked beans instead - received garlic bread and no beans. They did manage to keep the cheese off my salad and potato. Took way too long for what I got. Do not recommend.

Very good establishment. Nice people and good food. Between the two we both ordered off the separate GF menu. We ordered chicken, burnt ends and loaded baked potatoes. Wonderful. If anything I wish they had a bar but that's just personal preference.

Waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. I had ribs, apple sauce, green beans, and potato salad. Offered me an extra side since I couldn’t have garlic bread. Fantastic meal in a very nice environment. No issues at all. Highly recommend.
