Grilled items are the lighter path. Grilled fish (4 oz.) is listed at 124 calories and grilled chicken breast (5 oz.) at 173 calories, both without breading. Most steaks list soy as the only major allergen, since the seasoning contains soy. Fried foods, gravy, and buns add milk, egg, and wheat. The salad bar and plain baked potato are simple sides, but cross-contact can happen at a shared food bar, so ask staff if you need to avoid an allergen.

A Short History of Western Sizzlin
Western Sizzlin started in 1962 in Augusta, Georgia. Founder Nick Pascarella built it around a two-sided grilling method and a house seasoning called Gold Dust, which created the FlameKist steak. The chain grew into a popular Friday-night spot through the 1970s and 1980s. Source: Western Sizzlin (Wikipedia).
After Pascarella died in 1988, the company hit hard times and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1992. It later merged with Austins Steaks & Saloon, became Western Sizzlin Corporation, and is now owned by Biglari Holdings. The brand is much smaller today, with sister concepts Wood Grill Buffet and Great American Buffet. Source: TastingTable.
