Ben's Allergy & Restaurant Reviews

I Stayed at the Homewood Suites in Downtown Pittsburgh!!! They have a free breakfast for all their guest and I’m going to review the breakfast for you!!!

Food Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I got chicken sausage patties & Raisin Bran. The Raisin Bran is a good healthy cereal. The Chicken Sausage patties have good flavor but they were left out too long. I could tell they weren’t hot. Other than that I thought it was good food for a free breakfast.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

I Went to Sesame Garden in Pittsburgh or Should I Say Mount Washington, PA. I had to ride the Duquesne Incline and walk 17 minutes to get here. Pittsburgh is so amazing from the top of Mount Washington.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I enjoyed my food here. I normally don’t like sauce on my Sweet and Sour Shrimp, but this was the exception. They normally put the sauce on the side and they put the sauce on the food and not on the side hints why I ate the food with the sauce on it. I really enjoyed the Sweet and Sour Shrimp and I also liked the white rice!!!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

I Went to Coaches Burger Bar in St. Clairsville, Ohio while I was on my way to enjoy my weekend trip in Pittsburgh!!! Coaches Burger Bar is inside of the Ohio Valley Mall!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved the fries here!! The reminded me of fair fries, & I love fair fries!!! I enjoyed my burger here too!!! I got a double patty with bacon & lettuce on a gluten-free bun. The regular bun had dairy in it so I got the gluten-free bun instead and honestly it was pretty good I couldn’t taste a difference between this bun and a normal bun. Overall, Great food here at Coaches Burger Bar!!

Does Anakeesta do well with food allergies? I will say yes, I had no allergic reactions eating their food. Everyone’s experience is different. Please let me know what your experience is like at Anakeesta in the comments section if you have any experiences.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed the Duck Carnitas Potato. That was the best food I ate at the Smokies. The Duck was so tender, juicy, & good. This was my first time ever trying duck and I was really happy that with my food. Add the duck to the potato and you have yourself a great snack.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really liked they had an allergen menu for their two restaurants. I will say that I asked the people at the Idaho Potato Stand to see if they could make my food safely. If your not 100% certain please ask them because they are very knowledgeable about what’s in their food.

What’s your experience like at Anakeesta?

I Went to Andy’s Frozen Custard in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. My brother wanted ice cream and my family loved this place. They want to come back here again. Now I’m going to give my take on Andy’s.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I enjoyed my strawberry Italian Ice. They did get the Italian Ice from Zarlengo’s but it was one of the best Italian Ices I have ever had.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I do appreciate Andy’s for their transparency of their menu. That’s something I can compliment Andy’s for. I think adding a vegan, dairy-free, & nut-free vanilla custard made with Oat Milk would be great for Andy’s. People with dairy allergies & lactose intolerant people can eat Ice Cream/Custard at Andy’s.

I Tried Iron Forge Brewing Company tha was right next to Covenant Health Ballpark in Knoxville, Tennessee. I want to share my experience with you!!

I Went to North China Restaurant in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I will add that getting this food to go is the way to go. I waited for the staff to take me to my table for a couple of minutes more than I expected, but my food came out at a reasonable pace. But don’t let that ruin the food, because the food was actually really good.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed their fried rice. It reminded me of the fried rice I would get at home. It was fantastic!!! I also enjoyed my Sweet and Sour Pork. I enjoyed my meal!!!
