My Favorite. Fantastic spot, fun bar, awesome BBQ, price performer, fast service and just down the street. There is an ample selection of Gluten Free offerings here. Also, Elsmere offers take out off the menu, or order any of their meats by the half pound and sides by the pint for larger parties. Call 20-30 minutes ahead.
