The food was absolutely delicious and they had a really good separate allergy menu that laid out what was or was not gluten free and what could be made gluten free as well. When I asked about gluten free options they were happy to help me out. It said they have a dedicated gluten free fryer and I had no issues when I ordered, the waitress seemed knowledgeable. Everything was really good! I had ribs, coleslaw and the most amazing crinkle cut fries! I haven’t had crinkle cut fries deep fried in years and they didn’t disappoint! Made my day lol

Excellent food with a separate fryer for gluten free choices. The wings and fries are outstanding and there are plenty of gluten free items to choose from. They do have gluten free beer but limited to Glutenberg, at least that was the case during my visits over the past year. Staff is friendly and the service has been consistently good, especially at the bar seats. Highly recommend.

Almost everything on the menu is GF (aside from the mac and cheese). They even have a separate fryer so fries are safe

Our waiter has a nut allergy and talked to the kitchen about our multiple food allergies, including wheat. Very kid friendly to boot!

The Smoke Shop BBQ in Kendall is unbelievable. The food was excellent, and I was assured that all meat, rubs, sauces were GF. No fried chicken obviously, no Mac and cheese. I had the Burnt Ends, Brisket, and Ribs, with Asparagus and Bacon Collard. I would love to see the menu denote the GF items as it makes people more aware and helps the staff understand. Overall, great place where I felt fine after. Some of the best BBQ I have ever had.
