This place is a gluten-free haven.

Love it every time. Good atmosphere and I'm pretty find if the gluten sensitive choices. Well worth it.

Cortez Jones

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!

Jennifer Bartlett

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!

Brian Moe

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.

Katelin Tiernan

Super gluten free conscientious on top of DELICIOUS FOOD. I will be back over and over and can't recommend enough.

Dawn Collins

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!

We visited Iowa from Missouri. After looking for a restaurant that offers gluten free options, we decided to dine here. We were blown away with the excellence of hospitality and food. Have you ever met someone that makes you feel like they are genuinely friendly and easy to talk to? The owner is that person and the amazing food was the icing on the cake. The owner even took some time to recommend places we should visit. Only thing missing is a Simon's in Missouri.

Not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen but the server made sure my breakfast had no toast with my gluten-free omelet. Tasty.

Good GOLLY. I love this place. We went to celebrate getting through wedding planning and to celebrate a new job. Everyone was SO NICE. I mean 10/10 customer service. I have a severe gluten allergy and they were ON IT. Went so far above and beyond. The chef at the time (who was leaving) amazing and funny. The (what I can assume) Manager he was awesome too. Checking in making sure everything was perfect. And honestly this place is a 2.5 $ not 3. For what we got it was perfectly priced. We will be back!!!

Alicia Andrews

Always willing to listen for special orders, i.e. gluten free. Just need ask. Bartender is great and good conversation!-if you want to chat. Food hot and delicious. Combos husband and I can share with G.F restrictions.

Pat Spain

This restaurant has been a long time favorite for our family and friends. Nice variety of dishes, wonderful Mexican chocolate cake, flan for the gluten-free diets and decent prices. Depending on the night and seating, you may be waited on and served by the owners, who take time to interact and care about their customers.

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.
