A Guest Guide to Dietary Notes + Considerations
Looking to include your guests’ dietary notes in your Party Order plan?
We’ve put together helpful notes and allergen information to assist you in planning a menu that’s easier to navigate for guests with different dietary considerations.
Helping You Pile Up a Plate They’ll Love…
Planning a meal for a variety of eaters can sometimes feel overwhelming — but a little help goes a long way.
If a guest at your party has dietary notes, please check out our helpful guide below to inform your choices and choose a crowd-pleasing barbecue buffet.
Pro Tip: You may want to share a link to this page with your guests with dietary notes — it’s a simple way to help them be part of the menu planning and feel excited to dig in when the party starts.
A Quick Bite of Info…
🎉 Nut-Free Zone: We’re a nut-free facility, no nuts are used or stored in our kitchen.
🎣 No Fish, No Shellfish, No Problem: We don’t serve or prepare any fish or shellfish items — just plenty of barbecue favorites.

🥕 Vegetarian Sides for the Win: All of our Party Order side choices are vegetarian — easy to mix, match, and make everyone happy.
Let’s Plan a Crowd-Pleasing Spread!
Below you’ll find our guide to common dietary notes and allergens across our Party Order menu — a helpful way to assist you in choosing a crowd-pleasing spread!
Before we jump into the delicious details, just a quick note on our approach to allergens at Bluebird:
- We do our best to accommodate dietary needs whenever possible!
- Because our Party Orders are crafted for gatherings, we aren’t always able to modify individual dishes for dietary needs.
- Ingredient and allergen overviews are available upon request to help guide your selections. (see below)
- Please note that while we take great care, we cannot guarantee the complete absence of allergens in our kitchen, menu items, or the facilities of our vendors. If you or your guests have dietary restrictions, we encourage you to review menu details carefully and use your discretion when managing dietary needs.
How This Guide Works:
Each Party Order menu item is listed with notes on common dietary considerations — like gluten, dairy, and whether a dish is vegetarian. Use this guide to quickly spot dishes that fit your guests’ needs. Please keep in mind that depending on your guests’ dietary needs, you may not be able to cover every preference — but offering a good variety often makes it easy for everyone to find something they’ll love. For example, a gluten-free guest might skip the mac + cheese but enjoy the pit beans!
Pro Tip: For the best view of the table (and the tastiest planning experience), we recommend using a computer or larger screen!
We tried to make it mobile-friendly, but there’s just too much good info packed in!
Hosting a Guest with Unique Dietary Needs?
When a guest has more complicated or specific dietary needs that aren’t a match for your Bluebird Barbecue Party Order menu, it may be best to book your order for the group and then craft a separate plan for that guest.
What’s most important is that everyone at your gathering feels included and excited to dig in with confidence and enthusiasm! Some guests may prefer to bring their own party supplies, or may have helpful recommendations to make planning easier. A quick check-in ahead of time can help you find simple solutions and make sure everyone feels welcomed.
