Wildwood Barbeque

Celiac-safe gluten free fare, but that’s burying the lede. Some of the best food I’ve had in this Valley.

I've been going to Wildwood since I moved here 6 years ago, but I feel it's gone downhill. My husband and I went a few weeks ago and there were too many things amiss. First, we placed our order and went to sit down in the area away from the register (where the fireplace is located). And it was dirty everywhere. The floor had a large patch that looked like someone had ground peanut shells or sand into it. The floor in general needed a thorough scrubbing. Many of the tables were dirty, so we had to wipe off where we sat. We got silverware and napkins. The silverware was slimy. They said there is heavy lime in the water, but the silverware didn't used to be so dirty. Like spotted is one thing, but spotted with a residue you can feel does not encourage me to eat with it. I had ordered wine and the glass was equally streaked with a gross residue on it. When I went to drink from it, there were also noticeable chunks of food or something also stuck on the glass. I took it back to the counter and told the girl my glass was dirty and she immediately snapped at me that "there are heavy lime deposits in the water. It's not dirty!" And when I pointed out that there were in fact chunky things on my glass she sighed heavily and agreed to pour me another glass. So it seems a lot of people must complain about the streaks and gross residue on everything, since the girl snapped at me so quickly. But honestly I'm not sure if the dishwasher is working correctly. Or if it is, you might need to have someone polish the residue off everything. It makes my dinner unappealing. Final thing is that I have celiac disease and I always order my food using the special diet menu, I specify it's an "allergy" and I ask for a gluten free roll instead of cornbread. But my meal came out with cornbread. So I had to take that back too. Details matter and Wildwood isn't paying attention to details anymore.
