The Smokin Caboose Barbeque - St Thomas

Found this restaurant on this app while traveling through Ontario. When we pulled up I was surprised it’s attached to a motel and honestly didn’t look like much a restaurant. If I wasn’t starving and the kids screaming to stretch their legs I probably would have driven right by. I’m so glad I didn’t!!!! It was absolutely the most delicious bbq I’ve ever had! We ordered pulled pork on gluten free buns with French fries (they have a dedicated fryer! . The staff were so friendly and helpful. Honestly I can’t say enough good things!!

The pulled pork was to die for!!! As others have said, the meat selections are gluten free. We got 1 lb of the pork and 1 lb of the chicken. I didn’t ask about ribs because I wasn’t planning on getting them. Fries are safe. Poutine was marked gluten free on the menu. But honestly… the pulled pork is where it’s at. Absolutely delish!

I noticed that both poutines and my sandwich were placed in the same bag. My sandwich had a "gf" label on it, and the small poutine was clearly marked as "poutine," but my large poutine didn’t have any label. I’m unsure if there was a mix-up, but I ended up feeling very ill about an hour or two after enjoying my large poutine. I really wanted to have a positive experience, but since I'm extremely sensitive to gluten, this was disappointing.

Terrific food, owner assured us that everything but the ribs was gluten free, and the gf buns were great!

The food was incredible, and the staff was highly skilled. We enjoyed gluten-free poutine (prepared in a dedicated fryer) and gluten-free brisket served on gluten-free bread.
