We explicitly told the server of my celiac gluten allergy and he assured me that all the sauces and marinades were gluten free. He then brought soup and salad to the table, which I proceeded to eat, and thought to double check. The manger came over and said that the soup, salad and rice dish I ordered were not gluten free! Apparently we had a “newer” server. Ask for the manager next time you go there to make sure! Other than that, the gluten free food was tasty but unfortunately I got sick.

Love this place. So glad it’s a chain. I did not have to worry about cooking meat with gluten containing items. My party ordered all gf meats (so no chicken teriyaki) and the sauces on the table were all gf.

Almost all of the bbq menu is gluten free including the sauces. Anything fried is not gf and they do not have a dedicated fryer. But the bbq is really what you come for anyway. The server was knowledgeable and answered all questions and even went to double check with the chef on their statements. Was a great meal and felt completely safe. My son who is celiac had no reaction and loved his garlic fried rice.

Probably one of the best places I've been to in the past 2 years. They go out of the way to prepare as much as possible gluten free, clearly marked and delicious. Would go back every time I come to HI

The menu clearly marks GF items. They also said all marinades and table sauces are GF. They were also good at being able to do plain veggies without butter for our dairy allergy. Our server wasn’t knowledgeable unfortunately but did go check in the kitchen with our questions. The food was delicious. TBD if it’s celiac friendly and if I get sick from any kind of cross contamination.

Absolutely love this place! So many things that you typically couldn’t have that are gluten free! Things like the sauces and certain dishes. Everything is clearly marked. Celiac and I’ve never gotten sick.
