We have eaten here several times! Gluten free options, aware of cross contamination. My husband has a celiac diet and has never had adverse reactions from eating here.

Staff is very careful with gluten free orders and reviews everything with you during ordering and when you get your food. Most sauces are GF as well as the meats. Fries are in a dedicated fryer

06-07-2023. My last review for this location was almost five years ago, so I'm feeling that I must update this review. There is still an extensive GF menu, delicious food, and GF french fries! As we approached the counter, we mentioned GF and the manager heard. He made everyone on the line wash their hands, put on fresh gloves, and get new utensils. Pretty amazing. They take GF seriously. I highly recommend this location.

10-15-2018. Extensive GF menu. Delicious food. They have GF french fries!

Very good for a quick meal! Be sure to tell them about your allergy and ask for it without the cornbread to be safe as it comes with every meal. I have never had a reaction!

Food and service was awesome!! As soon as I came in, who I assume to be the manager came up to me and my family and explained the menu and their allergen protocols unprompted. Told him I was gluten free, he got me a gluten free menu and the entire staff checked on me multiple times while eating to make sure everything was going well. And the food was awesome! Will definitely be eating here a lot from now on.

OMG! This is the best BBQ I have had. I have eaten at many of BBQ joints in TX and this is miles ahead. Staff were not only friendly and accommodating but also 100% knowledgeable. Food was on a whole other level. Fries are GF, all the sauces but 1 are GF, the vinegar at the table is GF (apple cider vinegar based), and their sausage can be made GF as well. They have a GF menu too!

They are always very good with my order! Fries are GF as well...fried in a separate fryer. Love the pulled pork, smoked turkey, brisket, and green beans. I eat here a couple times a month and have never had issues.

They always communicate that the order is important to remain gluten-free (as an "allergy") and have always had the best experience.

When you get to the counter you can ask for a gluten free menu or you can check it out on their website. A lot of the menu can be prepared gf and all the sauces, but the Texas Twang, are gluten free. Great food and very friendly workers who take cross contamination seriously. I feel safe eating here at a person with Celiac Disease. Highly recommend to anyone needing to avoid gluten.

I love this place. Virtually everything is naturally GF and they do a good job of making sure their bread doesn't accidently contaminate anything else. The only thing they fry are the hand cut french fries.

Great service, safe food. True American BBQ restaurant. They let the Kitchen know by mouth that it has to be Glutenfree. Even when the food is allready Glutenfree. To take care of safely preparing the food. Feels very good.

Staff had no problems assisting me navigating their menu as I also have a dairy allergy. They have a dedicated fryer for French fries. They were very helpful. They also assisted my spouse who only has a tomato allergy. All meat is dry rubbed with no tomato products.

I have ordered here almost weekly as it is close to my office. Always communicate your allergy when ordering and you will be given a gf menu and they will keep your order safe. The fryer is a dedicated gf fryer which is excellent!
