This is a go to when wanting fried food for us. Ask for fryer #7. You can eat the hush puppies and dipping sauces here. Fried catfish and they will do popcorn shrimp in corn meal for you. Due to covid the salads no longer have risk of CC from salad bar lol. Fries are not gluten free. Most sides are- beans, corn, cole sla, vegggies.

They have a gluten-free menu and a dedicated fryer for gluten-free foods. The fried catfish was delicious as we're the sides of beans and coleslaw. The fries have flour so they were a no-go, but you won't even care because the hush puppies are GF and amazing. They sell GF key lime pie (from Mike's Pies). I can't remember the last time I was able to order a fried item and dessert from a restaurant. I mean, I need a nap now, but it was great to have so many yummy options.

They have a designated gluten-free fryer!! I’ve missed fried food of any kind so it’s so exciting. Their huspuppies are delicious and if you ask for them in the gluten-free fryer absolutely safe!! Hallelujah!

Server was knowledgeable about what was gluten free. I asked for a gf menu but they just said to talk to the server. Ordered fried catfish with a side salad and mashed potatoes (no gravy). Food was fresh and delicious. And hush puppies are sooooo good! Dedicated fryer!

I'm dairy-free as well and they were very accommodating for both GF & DF. The GF hush puppies were delicious, they also had oil & vinegar available for dressing at the salad bar. The regular catfish and the oysters we're able to be fried GF, but the shrimp they simply grilled for me. All very delicious!

By the way as others have stated they do have a dedicated GF fryer for those with celiac.

My fiancé and I eat here ALMOST once a week. We absolutely LOVE IT. This is the ONLY PLACE I can confidently eat fried food in the area; I thought I had died and gone to heaven the first time we found out they have dedicated GF fryers (it had been years...). I have Celiac's so safe spots are VERY few and far between. Not only is the fish insanely delicious (always super moist and crisp, never greasy), the hush puppies (yes!! GF hush puppies!!!!) and coleslaw are epic too. The service is always friendly and fabulous too- ask for Shelly, Kat, or Trish, they’re amazing. UPDATE as of 7/27/18: They have GLUTEN FREE KEY LIME PIE THAT IS TO DIE FOR!!! I went earlier this week and both the server and manager (they both know me and my family well) informed me they are really working to expand their options even MORE for those with celiac/intolerance. I’ve been coming here for YEARS and have never once gotten sick. This place is awesome.

This place is awesome. I recently asked them about GF fried chicken tenders and they were willing to try with the cornmeal they use for the fried catfish. Make sure to specify you want veggies or rice and no fries because the fries are definitely not gf.

Very knowledgable staff and safe place to eat. Avoid the fries (which the staff will tell you) and get rice or steamed veggies instead of fries.

They have a separate fryer to make gluten free items. My family and I have been eating at catfish parlor for 30 years. last year we went gluten free. finding catfish has been hard. I was and still am thrilled to find out that they make accommodations for those of us who don't eat gluten. i am not celiac however my mother is very sensitive. gets very sick even with cross contamination. she eats here and is fine. :)

They were great during dinner, but don’t come in for the buffet as they cannot ensure the fryers remain dedicated during the rush.

Our waitress also ate gluten free so she was familiar with what I can and cannot eat. Their menu said the gf fried fish was fried in a separate fryer. Hush puppies were also gluten free, just don’t eat the fries. Also had a great gluten free key lime pie.

Ask for catfish fried in cornmeal only. The hush puppies are gf but the French fries snd corn nuggets are not.

It is so much fun to get to eat fried catfish and hush puppies! This place is definitely a treat for me and a nice treat for supportive non-GF family and friends too :) No issues here, and the staff are more than willing to help out with questions.
