Good selection of GF options. My family had brisket, baby back ribs, chopped pork, half chicken, fries, beans and greens. 5 of the 6 sauces are gluten free. Staff does a good job, friendly and knowledgeable! We always stop at Mission BBQ if there is one in the area since you can count on getting quality food. We are from Memphis, the BBQ Capital and love Mission BBQ!

I order the brisket and fries. I just tell them that I’m gluten free (have celiacs) and they are good with it. Never had an issue!

Ordered off of the gluten free menu. Cashier was aware I was gluten free. I ordered the salmon and baked beans with brisket (I'll write another review if I get sick) The meal came out with CORNBREAD on the plate. I don't understand how a place can have a gluten free menu and let cornbread appear on the plate.

Excellent experience, it's a great spot for a quick bite and everything is delicious. All their meats are naturally gluten free and most of the side dishes & sauces!

This is a great chain for Celiacs - they train their employees on gluten free AND celiac, they vocalize GF orders to the kitchen and they change their gloves, cutting boards, etc. All the sauces are reportedly GF but I’ve heard it’s best to be careful with the sauces that contain Worcestershire sauce bc they may swap out brands that aren’t GF.

Other allergies can be found if you Google search their allergen menu!

What a find! Mission BBQ has incredibly delicious food and really understands gf safety! It is counter service, and the server came around the counter to explain that their frier is gf so the French fries are safe, all the meats too. Of the sides only the cornbread, pasta and potato salad contain gluten. There were ample other side choices available. She called back to the prep area that there was a gf order also. I had brisket and fries. The brisket was some of the best I ever had, and the hand cut fries were amazing. All their BBQ sauces are gf too! The restaurant was very clean, and they are dedicated to veterans and active duty military so the decor was centered around that. Definitely somewhere i will retun to when i am in the area.

My husband and I ordered food here. I ordered letting them know I had an allergy and when he yelled back to let them know, the girl said “which one is has the gluten allergy? The sandwich?” I thought that was an odd question considering the sandwich is made on bread and bread contains gluten. That comment made me a little uneasy seeing maybe not everyone back there understand what a gluten allergy is. Food was good though and I didn’t feel sick after.

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.
