Endless food and bottomless mimosas/bloody marys/mixed drinks is a hell of a way to start a weekend. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food is delicious and there were plenty of options for gluten free eaters.

Had the BEST experience here. Trying to find a restaurant that offers a gluten free menu as well as regular with no discernible differences in taste is 1 in a million and buzzard Billy’s is exactly that. Any time we ever come back it will be good at BB. Kristen, Kela and shiree are the best servers EVER!

Shrimp and grits, collard greens with bacon...I felt like I was back home. The gluten free options are limited, but they are done well!

Went in on a quiet Thursday afternoon and the service and food were top shelf. Ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. Brussels were excellent and the cornbread is actually GLUTEN FREE! Start with the deviled eggs or the street corn dip!

Delicious food options. Had the gluten free steak and mushroom flatbread. It was hold-your-breath-and-close-your-eyes delicious. Brussel sprouts were on point. Deconstructed nachos were amazing. And service was excellent, especially given the unexpected rush at the end of the night.

My daughter and I got some to go dessert and margaritas! The dessert was so fresh and tasty! We are both gluten-free and wanted to try some of their gluten-free dessert! So delicious! We also had a drink while we waited for our food! The mule was absolutely delicious! I believe it was strawberry. Just perfect! I can't wait to go back and have an entree!

I arrived for my second visit on Sept 6 2023, and ordered 3 dishes. One was with truffles. Gluten-free and vegetarian. However, after finishing the truffle with Leeks, I realized I was not feeling good. The rest of the night proceeded with full body hives, swollen lips, severe cold, diareah, vomit, and all extremities itching, and a plethora of experiences. I am not allergic to anything, so I suspect mold in the truffles and histamine response. Or a poisonous mushroom.
