Local Table

Vegetarian items are marked with a 'veg' label throughout all menus (dine-in, brunch, kids, plant-based). The plant-based section and many other veg options are available. The venue is designed for vegetarians with clear markings, and HappyCow lists it as 'veg-options' with lacto-ovo friendly. Shared kitchen with meat, but the menu coverage is strong.

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Pescatarian

confidence 70% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Pescatarian options are abundant: multiple fish (salmon, shrimp, ceviche, crab cakes), vegetarian and vegan bowls, salads, and plant-based mains. The menu is clearly marked with 'veg' tags. Shared kitchen with meat, but plenty of clearly identifiable fish and plant-based choices.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 60% ·

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

The brunch menu marks many items 'gf' (gluten-friendly), and a separate plant-based menu exists. However, the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing ingredients and the venue explicitly states it cannot guarantee any item is completely free of allergens. FindMeGlutenFree reviews at the Katy location report inconsistent staff knowledge and cross-contamination incidents (croutons on a 'gf' salad, falafel that was not GF despite being described as such). The Garden Oaks location has a few positive reports from coeliac diners noting knowledgeable staff and flagged food, but also mentions the Brussels sprouts are not GF. Without a dedicated kitchen or fryer and with mixed reports, this is a best-effort venue for coeliac: staff will try to accommodate on request, but reliability varies.

Vegan

confidence 70% ·

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

Local Table has a dedicated 'Plant-Based' section on the menu with items like vegan bowls, spicy seitan tacos, seitan steak plate, falafel wrap, and a veggie burger. HappyCow reviewers consistently report good vegan options and the menu marks vegetarian/vegan items. However, the kitchen is shared and the venue warns about all major allergens including egg, dairy, and fish being on premises. Vegan items are clearly marked and the chain has a consistent vegan offering, but cross-contamination risk exists in a shared kitchen.

Nut-free

confidence 45% ·

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.

Multiple menu items explicitly state 'Contains Nuts/Seeds' (Homemade Hummus, Cast-Iron Baked Goat Cheese, Honey Ginger-Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad, several plant-based bowls). The allergen disclaimer confirms peanuts and tree nuts are used. No nut-free marked items or dedicated preparation area. Staff will accommodate on a best-effort basis.

Dairy-free

confidence 50% ·

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.

The menu does not mark dairy-free items. The allergen disclaimer states milk is used throughout the kitchen. Some menu items may be naturally dairy-free (e.g. some plant-based bowls, sorbet if available), but there is no dedicated dairy-free menu or systematic marking. Staff will try to accommodate if asked, but no structural procedures are documented.

Egg-free

confidence 50% ·

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.

Eggs are heavily featured (omelets, eggs Benedict, fried eggs on multiple dishes). The brunch menu offers egg-white swaps for an upcharge. The allergen disclaimer lists eggs as a primary allergen used. No egg-free marking on the menu, but some plant-based items likely contain no egg. Staff can accommodate on request in a shared kitchen.

Shellfish-free

confidence 50% ·

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.

Low-FODMAP

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.

Soy-free

confidence 60% ·

Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.

The allergen disclaimer lists soy as one of the primary allergens used throughout the restaurants. One FindMeGlutenFree review at the Katy location explicitly states the Brussels sprouts had soy in the dressing and staff were unaware. With soy in multiple dressings, marinades, and likely cooking oil, and no dedicated soy-free protocol, this venue is not recommended for soy allergy.

Honest caveat: Documented incident: soy-containing Brussels sprouts dressing served when diner asked for gluten-free item.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
