Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

77%
Good

DOC's Commerce Smokehouse stands out for celiac diners thanks to its clearly labeled gluten-free menu and—what feels like a rare gem—a dedicated fryer just for fries, tots, and wings. Staff are consistently described as knowledgeable and proactive, with managers often stepping in to answer questions and even deliver allergy-safe meals themselves. While the kitchen isn’t 100% gluten-free, their transparency about ingredients (smoke, spice, and time) and willingness to walk guests through safe choices make it a spot where you can finally exhale and focus on the smoky brisket instead of your anxiety. That said, there’s still a shared kitchen, so folks who are extremely sensitive should have a frank chat with staff—because you know, sometimes you just need that extra peace of mind.
