Ordered BBQ from Smokey Bear's last night on Door Dash ( Wasn't able to get to town for dinner). The food was prepared quickly and arrived quickly. We got the Outlaw Burger, Prison Yard Salad and Pig Taters. The salad was surprisingly huge, full of fresh ingredients including bacon, shredded cheese, ham, pepperoncinis, hard-boiled egg, etc. Lettuce mix was also very fresh. The fries arrived hot, crispy topped with pulled pork,bacon, melted cheese , BBQ sauce, jalapenos & spices - absolutely delicious 😋 I couldn't eat the burger ( Because of the bun - I'm allergic to wheat and I have Celiac Disease ( can't digest gluten)), but it smelled divine 🤤 & my s.o. LOVED IT. Only have a bit of salad left now,lol. We're discussing stopping by the restaurant for dinner. If you can get there - DEFINITELY do so. I HIGHLY suggest ordering from Smokey Bear's on Door Dash when you can't get to town & SERIOUSLY consider going to the restaurant. Overall the food was absolutely delicious & I can't wait to eat Smokey Bear's Barbecue again 😁

Server was absolutely the sweetest person I've ever had to serve me. They also truly care about their customers who have celiac use a separate fryer and have gluten free buns! Absolutely recommend coming here especially if you are gluten free.

Due to Celiac, I’m always picky about where I can eat. Red Robin is always a good choice. I always rely on their website to navigate their menu. While sad to learn today that their bacon is not gluten free, not are their delicious fries, our server Mallory certainly made our visit amazing. She was very friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate us having a sleepy toddler and dietary restrictions. If I were local, she’d be my regular server.

Solid appreciation to a theme. Lots of drink choices. The specialty drinks for the season were phenomenal. A few gluten-free options, but had to ask the waitress as the menu isn't marked. They had GF buns for their burgers and sandwiches.

Service was okay, the girl that brought the food out never cracked a smile. It's disappointing that they NEVER give the condement you ask for when you order a gluten free burger. Hamburg in Lexington is definitely better!

Friday night dinner. Really good gluten free dishes and an outstanding whisky sour. Quiet enough to hear yourself speak too. Great staff and will be back next time I am in Cincinnati. There is a parking garage (paid) next door and the Main Street of Covington it is on, is charming. Thank you.

We needed a quick good lunch so we decided to go to Culver's in Somerset KY. The employees there are wonderful so helpful and patient with our order. My sister needed gluten free and my mom and I just wanted a cheese burger meal. We all got what we wanted. Exactly what we needed and it was really good. I definitely give this Culver a 5 star.
