Babe's Chicken Dinner House

I always get the fried fish with sides and never have any issues. It’s a go to for me when down south.

They provided us with the allergen menu which stated that the smoked chicken and fried fish are gluten free. We have a gluten sensor and tested the food before my husband ate it and the smoked chicken was positive for gluten. I am not sure if it was the seasoning or cross contamination but my husband could not eat it.

For GF you can have Roasted Chicken or Fried Catfish, mashed potatoes, green beans and creamed corn. For GF/DF you can have roasted chicken and green beans.

We had roast chicken with green beans, it was really good and neither one of us got sick. It was nice to be able to eat somewhere everyone else in our family wanted to go to.

I eat there often but I don't usually eat the corn. I ate the corn recently and had an attack. I called to inquire if the corn was gluten free and they said yes. Searching the internet it says their grandma's corn has flour. I usually eat catfish, green beans, mash potatoes and salad. Be careful and do your research.

Can have everything but the gravy and biscuits. Roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, and green beans are all excellent. I’ve never had a reaction here, even with the salad. I know some reviews say their salad has gluten but I’ve had a few times now with no issues.

They have a menu which shows what does and doesn’t have gluten and flour. The waitress also gave me separate food since this is more of a family style place where everyone digs in at the table. Two choices of meat and most of the sides, aside from the biscuits, are gluten free. Best BBQ place I’ve been to since I was dx’d with Celiac 8 yrs ago.

The catfish, baked chicken, green beans, and corn are still GF. However, we went today and they said the mashed potatoes are not. The salad dressing and tarter sauce are also not GF, and the “salad” they brought us was literally only lettuce in a bowl. We were disappointed to pay $20 a plate for just 3 pieces of fish, green beans that were burnt, and corn.

This location offers 2 entrees that are GF: hickory smoked chicken and fried catfish. Green beans, corn and mashed potatoes are safe. Salad is fine if no dressing (salad is just lettuce but they said the vinegar used in the salad dressing contains a problem ingredient). Don’t eat the gravy or biscuits. They made a note on our called in order and carefully packed the biscuits separately. So happy my hubby could enjoy Babe’s for Father’s Day and there was something I could eat, too!
