Summary of Gluten Free Menu Options at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
Pro tips and a quick summary of everything gluten free at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.
- When you order at the restaurant or online/in the app for delivery/pickup, tell them you have an allergy or Celiac Disease so they take precautions with your food.
- Dinosaur Bar-B-Que has quite a few gluten free options, many that I would consider safe to enjoy, even for people with Celiac Disease. First and foremost, all of the bbq sauces are gluten free! Just avoid the queso and any gravies, as these are NOT gluten free.
- Dinosaur Bar-B-Que has a few different pages on Find Me Gluten Free for their different locations, and all of them have pretty positive ratings. People describe the gluten free menu and staff being attentive. However; be warned that a few people complained about getting cornbread on their plate, so always repeat to the staff that you have an allergy or Celiac Disease.
- Personal experiences here are great. We just recently went in October 2024 while visiting Brooklyn and it was delicious. We just stopped in for drinks and got the chicken wings, and they were very wet and tasty! The sauces were so flavorful. We got the honey bbq, and the wango habanero. Check out the video below to see what it looked like. I want to try more of their gluten free options so I can add more info to this article! Updates to come. 😀
