Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Two menu items (Fried Catfish and Hot Fish Sandwich) are explicitly described as fried in 100% peanut oil, and the Catfish & Grits breakfast item is also 'fried in 100% peanut oil'. This signals peanut oil is a deliberate choice, which may be safe for most people with peanut allergy depending on the level of refinement. However the menu does not state whether the oil is dedicated (no shared fryer for other items dusted with wheat flour). No mention of tree nut handling. Diners with peanut allergy should confirm fryer dedication with staff.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

A gluten-free option is available — the Oven Fried Chicken is dusted with rice flour and cooked in the oven. The menu also lists a 'Gluten Free Half' and 'Quarter Oven Fried Chicken' on Uber Eats. However the kitchen is shared (common kitchen, risk of cross-contact stated by the chain's allergen page) and no dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. One community review notes the chef spoke directly to the diner, but the FindMeGlutenFree listing explicitly warns it is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility. Best suited for gluten-sensitive diners willing to discuss needs with staff; coeliac diners should call ahead.

Honest caveat: The chain's allergen page states gluten-free crusts are prepared in a common kitchen and the establishment does NOT recommend them for coeliac disease.

The menu includes a 'Vegan Soulful Bowl' on both the venue's own menu and the Uber Eats listing, and a customer review mentions 'no pork' in the greens/cabbage. No dedicated kitchen or fryer is mentioned; the vegan item is prepared in a shared kitchen with cross-contact risk. Diners should confirm with staff whether the bowl is fully vegan (the ingredient list includes flour, soy sauce, and coconut milk, which are compatible with vegan but cross-contact is unaddressed).
