Miss Lillian’s BBQ Corner

This meal was excellent! The BBQ, sauce, slaw, pickles and relish were GF. The Chef walked up as I was looking at the allergen guide and said every restaurant has a QR code to scan to obtain allergen info on the sign. We have been here 5 days and this is the first person to tell us this. My husband had the BBQ loaded spud.

When we ordered, my husband chose the gluten free option of hickory-smoked half chicken. However, for the two of us (we got the same thing), it was $54. The problem is the gf chicken comes with cornbread, chow-chow, bread and butter pickles (made with malt vinegar) and baked beans. Out of this, the only thing gluten free was the chicken and baked beans. My husband asked to substitute all of those sides for the gluten free option of the pulled pork loaded spud for an up-charge. The cashier (Kayden) told him that wasn’t possible. He would pay full price for the chicken and an entire price of $18.99 for the potato. So my husband said never mind to that and asked that the food with gluten not be put on the tray. Kayden explained that it was fine because they would be in separate containers, even though we couldn’t eat it? So we get our food, and the cornbread is lying on the tray touching the chicken. We explained to the server, Keri, that we couldn’t eat the chicken because of the gluten cross-contamination. She told the cook, Angela, the problem. Angel came and showed us the ingredients in the chicken to make sure it was ok, gave us the baked beans and and extra side of pulled pork. She remade the food for us and brought it to Keri personally. Thank you, to Keri and Angela for being so understanding. I hope they explain to Kayden why it’s important to people with allergies to not allow the food to touch on request.
