Celiac safety assessment and key features
Brother John's Beer Bourbon & BBQ really gets what it means to look after gluten-free guests—right down to those little details that make us breathe easier. The menu features a broad spread of clearly labeled gluten-free meats and sides, and staff are genuinely tuned in; they'll even change gloves on request and know their way around celiac concerns. While the kitchen isn’t dedicated gluten-free and there’s no separate fryer (so fries are off the table), the team is transparent, responsive, and quick to fix any missteps—like swapping out brisket served on bread with no fuss. If you’re craving smoky, tender brisket or pulled pork in Tucson and want to feel truly heard about your needs, this spot offers both flavor and peace of mind, though those with the highest sensitivity should still use their best judgment.
