Ben's Allergy & Restaurant Reviews

I sometimes get my haircut at the Sports Clips (next to the restaurant) and I have always been wondering if Rusty Bucket Restaurant & Tavern would be dairy-free. Turns out it was and it was a great experience!
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: Wow! That burger on a whole wheat bun with just the beef patty and the bacon was amazing. That burger was juicy and delicious. One of the best burgers I have ever had. Their fries were really good as well. They have amazing food here!
Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I was amazed by the receipt saying dairy allergy. I have seen several restaurants do this for me and it makes me feel safe when they do so. The people over there were very nice.
The only thing missing is an online allergen menu.
P.S. if you’re a restaurant owner and are interested in having an allergen menu for your website, please email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com & I can write an allergen menu for you!

The Wild Ginger Asian Fusion was a restaurant that always intrigued me. I’m so glad I came because it was really good!
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: My Beef Fried Rice was amazing! I outgrew my egg allergy and I’m so happy I can enjoy the fried rice with the egg in it. The rice was soft and fluffy and the beef was very tender. It was so good!
Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The Person on the phone was really nice and even called me when my order was ready! They don’t have an allergen menu on their website. That’s the only downer to this restaurant.
P.S. if you are a restaurant owner and are looking to add an allergen menu please email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com
I would’ve more than happy to write an allergen menu for you!
Have you been to the Wild Ginger Asian Fusion Restaurant before?

I tried a Pizza Restaurant that was recommended by a friend of mine. It’s called Jan & Tony’s out of Plain City, Ohio
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed my all meats pizza. It has sausage, ground beef, ham, & pepperoni. It was really good and my friend was right. Jan & Tony’s has really good pizza!
Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The lady taking my order did a great job of telling kitchen I had a dairy allergy. She told me they used separate utensils to cook my pizza. That’s awesome. The only thing that would make this better is if they had an allergen menu on their website.
P.S. If you’re a restaurant owner and want to have an allergen menu please email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com and I can help you write an allergen menu for your restaurant.

Dave & Buster’s Allergen Menu:

Dave & Buster’s really surprised me in so many ways. I’m not joking it’s really shocking!
Food Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: Very Limited Menu! There weren’t a lot of Dairy-Free Options. I had the black bean burger with no cheese on a gluten-free bun. If you don’t get the Eat & Play Combo you can order the Kickin’ Chicken Potstickers that are Dairy-Free.
All the sides have dairy or peanuts (unless you live in Puerto Rico or Hawaii). You can get Red Beans in Puerto Rico & White Rice in Hawaii.
The Blistered Chili Green Beans are dairy-free but have Peanuts in it. I’m also allergic to peanuts. I’m shocked by that! I never even thought someone would put peanuts in green beans.
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I will say they partnered with FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) to create the allergen menu! I have never seen someone include FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) on their allergen menu. That was awesome to see. They’re very honest about what you can and can’t eat. Though I’m sure a lot of you thought I would have given Dave & Buster’s a lower allergy rating. I gave them a 5 out of 5 Stars because of Dave & Buster’s having a great allergen menu and a great process.
Have you been to Dave & Buster’s?

I was running errands with my brother and we were deciding on where to go and we wanted to try Firehouse Subs.
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed my steak sandwich. I felt like it was the perfect sized sandwich. I also really enjoyed eating Fritos.
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They use the Nutrition Nix Food Allergy Wizard. You put in your allergens and it tells you what you can eat. It’s so easy and there are many chain restaurants who use this platform and it’s awesome!
Have you tried Firehouse Subs before?

I have heard my Mom & my Sister say great things about this restaurant, as well as my young adult group leader at my local church. I have never eaten Greek food before so I decided to try something new this spring.
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I love their fries 🍟 but that Gyro was just as good as my fries. I have never tried lamb before in my entire life. I actually enjoyed the taste of lamb & would eat it again.
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have an allergen menu & they changed their gloves. Agape reminds me of a Greek/Mediterranean Chipotle. Plus, you get to see them make your order just like at Chipotle.
I highly recommend trying Agape and I was really impressed with my food.
Have you had Agape before?

Herencia Jalisco Mexican Restaurant is on Hayden Run Road in Hilliard, Ohio. Hilliard’s a suburb of Columbus, Ohio.
I did a Flyer’s Pizza Allergy & Restaurant Review last Saturday and I saw this restaurant & I thought to myself I want to try this one too.
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The Steak Nachos were really good! I ordered my food for carryout and put some dairy-free sour cream and dairy-free cheese when I got home. I really enjoyed my food and I have no complaints about the food at all!
Allergy Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I have no idea if they’re a new restaurant in the area but they have no website (though they have a menu through Google) that means no allergen menu. I didn’t get an allergic reaction and I’m very happy about that.
P.S. if you’re a restaurant owner and want to have an allergen menu in your restaurant or on your website please email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com and I would love to have a conversation with you about having an allergen menu in your restaurant or restaurant’s website or even both if you would like. I’ll also even write an allergen menu for you!
Have you tried Herencia Jalisco before?

Flyers Pizza has many locations in the Central Ohio area. Today was the day I decided to give Flyers Pizza a try!
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed my pizza! I ordered it with green peppers and pepperoni. I went and put some Aldi Dairy-Free Cheese when I got home. I can’t complain about the pizza at all!
Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I had no allergic reactions. I called Flyers to order my pizza. They were so nice and checked to make sure the pizza crust didn’t have dairy in it. They don’t have an allergen menu on their website. That’s the only downside I see.
P.S. if you’re a restaurant owner and are looking to add an allergen menu to your restaurant. I can write one for you! Just email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com
So I can help your restaurant be more accommodating towards people with food allergies 😀
Have you tried Flyers Pizza before?

AMC Movie Theaters surprised me with lots of dairy-free options. It’s so awesome that a popular movie theater like AMC handles food allergies so well.
Heck, you probably recognized many options you eat as well! When you’re going to watch a movie the last thing you should worry about is an allergic reaction.
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: My Chicken Tenders were really good! My Popcorn was amazing as well! I was thinking about how amazing my food was last night!
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have an allergen menu for a movie theater. I was a little nervous about the popcorn because it looked like it had butter in it. The Allergen Menu says that the Popcorn is dairy-free (hints why I chose to order it). It is dairy-free, because I had no allergic reactions to the Popcorn or the Chicken Tenders.
What’s your favorite Movie Theater Snack?

Buckeye Family Pizzeria is one of my family’s favorite pizza places. I never tried it till tonight, but I’m so happy I did. Lots of people said this place is really good and it delivered on the hype!
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The wings were so juicy and so delicious. These were some of the best chicken wings I have ver had in my life. The food here delivers on the hype.
Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The people on the phone were really nice and they answered every question I had, plus no allergic reactions. The customer service and professionalism here is pretty incredible! They don’t have an allergen menu on their website like Pizza Hut or some other huge pizza chain. If that was added that would make this place even better.
P.S. if you’re a restaurant owner and you want to have an allergen menu on your website, so you can attract more customers with food allergies I want to help you create an allergen menu. Email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com or DM me and I would love to have a conversation with you! My goal is to help restaurants and help people with food allergies!
