Built by Wildcats, for Wildcats — because everyone deserves a safe bite.
Your guide to allergy-friendly dining on campus and around Lexington.
Before You Dine 🐾
This guide is a resource built by students — not a guarantee of safety.
Always use your own judgment and take every precaution before dining out.
Every allergy experience is unique, and what’s safe for one person may not be for another.
The Allergy Cats Safe Eats Checklist
- Call ahead — staff, menus, cooking oils and ingredients can change daily.
- Use your own judgment — trust your instincts if something doesn’t feel right.
- Carry your EpiPen (or Epinepherine) everywhere, even if a place seems safe.
- Ask about cross-contact — shared fryers, grills, and utensils can matter more than ingredients.
- When in doubt, skip it. It’s always better to miss a meal than risk a reaction.
- Add your notes — your feedback helps other Wildcats make informed choices.
