Ben's Allergy & Restaurant Reviews

I Ate Gorilla Taco while I was on my family vacation in the Smokies. My family absolutely loved this place and said they want to come here again. Now let’s get into my review of Gorilla Taco.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved the Mexican Rice!! It stole the show. The rice was fluffy and soft. In other words the rice tasted like it should taste. I liked my carne asada tacos with corn salsa in them. I enjoyed my chips & salsa here too! The beans had a little kick to them, but I enjoyed the flavor of the beans. Overall, I thought the food was full of flavor and really good!!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I didn’t have any allergic reactions and the waitress was really attentive and made sure my food was safe for me to eat.

I Tried Coco Cuisine in Columbus, Ohio. I want to share my honest review with you!!!

Rationale: I loved my Sweet and Sour Shrimp. It was hot and fresh!!! I liked my white rice and my frog legs. The frog legs were like frog nuggets with bones in them. I will say that the frog net was tender and delicious. Even though they didn’t look like frog legs they were still delicious!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: My Gyro was amazing!!! I got Gyro Meat, lettuce, & a pita. The Gyro meat was amazing!!! Hot, fresh, & amazing. The fries were really good too. They had a Greek seasoning on them and they were delicious!!!

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have a vegan options listed on their menu. This is a big deal for me since I’m allergic to dairy. Vegans don’t consume dairy and that makes me feel much better about not having an allergic reaction. I didn’t have an allergic reaction & I can’t complain at all.

I reviewed Gelatolicious in Polaris (Columbus, Ohio). I came here after I ate at Panda House of Polaris for dinner. I wanted to grab some dessert.

Food Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I got Strawberry Sorbet. It had an interesting taste at first, but the more I ate it the more I liked it.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The lady working the counter was amazing!! She used separate utensils and containers to grab my strawberry sorbet. That was the highlight of this trip.

The only thing I would suggest is to add a Vegan, Dairy-Free, & Nut-Free Gelato. I want to come back and try this again & maybe I might try more flavors.

I went to Ponderosa Steakhouse in Columbus, Ohio.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The Rotisserie Chicken stole the show!!! The chicken was hot, juicy, & fresh. I also had salad that was fine.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They did have a food allergy song saying they have items containing the Top 9 Allergens. Unfortunately I couldn’t find an allergen menu or any allergen information on the buffet. Buffets and food allergies are complicated and I felt the safest when I got the chicken & salad.

If you have food allergies how do you navigate buffets? I’m super curious as I’m learning to try to navigate buffets. I don’t go to buffets very often.

For everyone, have you had Ponderosa Steakhouse?
