Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar brings a touch of Southern comfort to the gluten-free crowd, with hearty options like shrimp and grits or sandwiches on gluten-free bread—yes, even the grilled chicken BLT has its fans. But here’s the thing: this isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, and there’s a lot of uncertainty around cross-contact, especially with no dedicated fryer and inconsistent staff training. Some diners have found knowledgeable servers and separate toasters for gluten-free bread, while others have encountered confusion and mixed messaging about what’s truly safe. Honestly, if you’re strictly celiac or highly sensitive, you might want to tread carefully—there are some bright spots, but the risks can’t be ignored.
