Been here twice, they have a GF menu if you ask for it. The person taking my order really knew his stuff, young kid but knew that they used the same bowl for the Mac that they do for the potato salad and knew what had potential for cross contact and what didn’t. Dedicated fryer. All meats GF. Had brisket with baked beans and fries. Happy tummy

Had a pork sandwich without the bun and Cole slaw. Portion size was good. Food was put in the system as an allergy. When we picked it up the server confirmed the food was gf and made sure we knew where l which sauces were safe.

Legit and tasty Texas-style BBQ, which uses dry rubs and then you can add the sauce of your choice, if you like. Have enjoyed the ribs, brisket, pulled pork…. But I really love the “yard bird” smoked chicken. The sauces are great. One of them has gluten in it, so just check that when you’re there. And make sure they don’t add corn bread to your plate. Otherwise, I’ve never had an issue here. Yummy.

Staff was very helpful and kind about walking me through what was safe on the menu (pretty much all of it). They even handed me a laminated copy of it I could take away from the counter so I could compare it with the sauces on the table. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.

I got sick here once- my server neglected to warm me that the Texas BBQ sauce I ordered was NOT gf.

Apart from that one incident, I'm actually happy with the gf protocols and and menu here. Dedicated fryer, glove change is standard, solid GF menu.

Good comfort food, and cool decor.

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.
