Very knowledgeable of what does and doesn't have gluten. Lots of gluten free options. French fries are cooked in exclusive frier :) Only one out of six BBQ sauces has gluten and it's properly labeled so no risk of contamination.

The staff is very knowledgeable on how to handle gf, they verbally tell the kitchen that your order is gluten free, and the kitchen employees change gloves. Most meats are gluten free, the fries are gluten free, most of the bbq sauces and some of the sides are gluten free as well. The KC classic bbq sauce tastes exactly like gates bbq in Kansas City, which is my favorite bbq place.

Great Gluten Free menu and the staff was well trained to handle my celiac son. Person at the register yelled out that a GF order was coming and the cook in back immediately changed gloves. Fries are the only thing put in deep fryer so those are good. There were 6 different bbq sauces when we went - five of them gluten free. Great option.

This place is great!!! Most of the meats are GF and they even have GF fries!!! I have visited Mission BBQ many times and never had reactions!!! they also are great about changing gloves and you don't even have to ask, but let's be real we all ask anyways! ;)

I also live their business model with supporting our military and first responders!!!

We have been here several times. My son has Celiac and we test with the Nima sensor. Each time it has come back safe. They have a very good protocol to avoid cross contamination. When a GF order comes through everyone on the line changes gloves and utensils and the work surfaces are cleaned. Now, I do watch them carefully. I have seen mistakes made. However, they have fantastic customer service and will always make it right. They even come to the table to make sure everything is to your liking. For a fast casual restaurant, I have never experienced better service.

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.
