Been eating here and at this chain for years. Never miss calling back that I am a gluten free order, they always show me the order at pickup, and always point out which sauces I can have. And the BBQ is good, especially the turkey.

So far I have had the wings, coleslaw and Portuguese rice. The staff is very friendly. I have eaten there twice so far. They have an allergy listing at the cashier for you to check which items are safe for your allergy. There isn't much variety but the food is good. The rice is excellent. The wings are okay

Very tasty pulled chicken. A dedicated gluten free menu and decent price. All in all glad I stopped in!

Tasty chicken and celiac friendly!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I eat here a lot when I travel. Each person I encounter is knowledgeable about Celiac, and never made me feel like a burden! The French fries are in a dedicated fryer, and the turkey is delicious! The Texas BBQ sauce is the only of the 6 that contains gluten. The food is delicious and the customer service is exceptional!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got my "sandwich" on top of my fries obviously without the bun and it was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I met the founders at their first location in Glen Burnie. At that time all the sauces had gluten - even the cole slaw had gluten! Since then, they have revised the recipes and now nearly everything is gluten-free. They do have some desserts and specials with gluten and the Texas Twang sauce is still made with flour. However, gluten is now the exception not the rule, and they are careful to avoid cc.

This is now one of my go-to places. Ownership and staff listen to customer feedback and they go out of their way to cater to regulars. They also surprise random people with free meals. The food is of high quality and everything is smoked at the store. Best smoked turkey I've ever had.

They seem to be very aware if GF and cross contamination. all of their BBQ sauces are GF but one. they are always very friendly

you do have to watch them and follow the making of your food. twice I had to send my order back bcz the gave me cornbread. they changed their gloves and made my order again. I spoke to the manager about having a meeting about the importance of gluten free. he said they have training, he apologized for the error...then one of his employees put a brownie in my bag. he looked at him and said, she can't eat that. I think it's time for another gluten free training meeting

I have been to this location as well as the one in Columbia, Md and they take Gluten Free VERY seriously(!) 😊 this is one place where saying you need GF doesn't make you feel like an "inconvenience" and you don't sacrifice menu selection or the deliciousness of their food just because it's GF! Their food is excellent and there service is as well!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Been there twice since they opened. Did a knock out job the first time including requesting kitchen staff clean their areas and change gloves. Second visit, communication break down must have occurred and when called up to get my order there was cornbread on my plate. They quickly addressed the problem and made me a clean order. food is really tasty and glad to have another GF option near work.

They offer pulled, pork, brisket, sausage, turkey, chicken, and ribs. Go to the checkout counter and there is a gf menu there. There are now 5 different sauces that are gf. KC is my favorite. They do not offer gf buns, but their salad greens are of good quality. The salad can be topped with meat and then BBQ sauce can be your dressing. Delish!

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.
