I Went to Stop and Search in Bellefontaine, Ohio. It’s right next to the KFC in Bellefontaine.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved my food! I think Stop and Search has the best burger in Bellefontaine. My waitress asked how my food was and I told her their burger was the best in Bellefontaine. I also really loved the fries.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved the food allergy sign. I felt safe eating here immediately!!!

Have you tried Stop and Sea before?

I have eaten at Penn Station East Coast Subs before. I have never had an allergic reaction eating here & I’m glad that I was able to enjoy my meal today without any allergic reactions.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed their fries. Those fries were the best part of the experience. Their fries do have peanut oil in it. Just want to make a quick disclaimer on that. I have consulted with my allergist and we decided that eating items fried in peanut oil were fine. I have had no problems to it even though I’m allergic to peanuts. Please consult with your allergist/doctor before consuming these fries.
I loved the white bread. The steak was fine, & I really enjoyed the pizza sauce on the sub. That was a nice touch to the sub.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: There is some stuff on Google but it wasn’t as detailed as it could be. They do have allergen statements on their website stating the bread is dairy-free. I will give Penn Station credit and they have some semblance of an allergen menu. It’s better than no allergen menu. What’s missing? I was able to see three sub types having allergen information on Google. Why isn’t there more on the other sub types?

I still think Penn Station East Coast Subs is a great place to go. Be aware of cross contamination. I thought Penn Station was good about Cross Contamination from tonight’s experience.

I went to Family Garden Chinese Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. It’s right next to the Columbus Square Bowling Palace.

Food Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: My Sweet and Sour Delight was burn a little bit. When it wasn’t burnt it was good. I want to come here again because I may have come on a bad day. I have been to Chinese places that had burnt Sweet and Sour Chicken. I went back and it wasn’t burnt the second time I had it. That’s why I say that. The White Rice Was Good. I had no complaints about the rice.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved their ordering system. I could tell them I had a dairy allergy. Plus I had no allergic reactions.

Have you had Family Garden before?

Stadz Pizzeria is located inside of The Pub in Gahanna, Ohio.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The Wings stole the show. They were really juicy and really good. I thought the tots were fine as well.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I had no allergic reactions and the person making my food was very helpful to make sure my food didn’t have dairy in it. There is no allergen menu unfortunately.
P.S. if you’re a restaurant owner and are wondering what an allergen menu is and how it can help your restaurant please email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com

The Peach Cobbler Factory has no dairy-free options except tea & water!

Food Rating: 0 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The answer is pretty obvious here. If you did a gluten-free, dairy-free, & vegan Cinnamon Roll or Peach Cobble more customers might just come in the door.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: At least they were transparent about it. Having an allergen menu is pretty good. Peach Cobbler Factory can run their business however they want. I’m trying to give them suggestions on how to include people with food allergies.

I ate Dairy Queen with a dairy allergy and I’ll be honest I was very impressed with what I got.
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I have gotten the non-dairy dilly bars before and they’re amazing. I also thought the chicken strips and fries were good and didn’t give me an allergic reaction!!!
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have an allergen menu on their website. Plus they have lots of dairy-free options at Dairy Queen. I know it sounds pretty ironic, but it’s true!
Have you had Dairy Queen before?

I tried Don’s Downtown Diner in Bellefontaine, Ohio for the first time and I’ll tell you about my experience!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really loved their fries. I did like the burger, but I wish they didn’t put dairy (butter) on their buns.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have a Facebook website and a Tik Tok Account as their only online presence. That means no allergen menu. Allergen menus help people with food allergies like myself identify what is safe and what isn’t.
Plus if you’re a restaurant owner you wouldn’t have to worry about ingredient checking the customer could read the allergen menu on your website/social media profile before they come into your restaurant.
If this sounds interesting to you please email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com and I would love to write an allergen menu for your restaurant 😀

I went to Lee’s Famous Chicken in Bellefontaine, Ohio and I’m going to give you my honest review of the place!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The Apple Turnover stole the show. It looks more like an Apple Pie, but on the menu it said Apple Turnover. Having a dairy allergy means that finding a dairy-free dessert is challenging when eating at a restaurant. Most restaurants don’t offer any dairy-free desserts, but Lee’s did and I’m very happy about that!
I also thought the green beans, potato wedges, & the oven roast chicken strips were all pretty good too. I have no complaints about the food at all.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: they have an allergen menu on their website. It’s pretty great to see that. I also had no allergic reactions. I have zero complaints about how they handle food allergies.
Overall, I think Lee’s famous chicken is a safe place for anyone with food allergies. I highly recommend you try Lee’s Famous Chicken.

I went to Chefhouse in Bellefontaine, Ohio and grabbed a burger and fries 🍟
I was really impressed with their food!!
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: their burger was juicy and the bun tasted really good as well. The bacon & the lettuce made this burger better too. You can taste the potato in their fries. They definitely remind me of potato wedges for sure!
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really liked that they labeled for vegan options on their menu. Their parking lot is small and I went through their drive thru. They labeled vegan items on the drive thru menu. It’s rare to see that from a restaurant. Vegan means no animal products and makes it easy to identify what’s is dairy-free and what isn’t. I also had no allergic reactions making this a great experience for me!

Luna Pizza Kitchen is a great place to get pizza in Dublin, Ohio!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really loved their pizza. It was a thin crust pizza and I enjoyed every second of it. I definitely recommend you grabbing a pizza from Luna Pizza Kitchen

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The person who took my order on the phone was very knowledgeable about their ingredients. I had no allergic reactions and I’m very thankful for that. There is no allergen menu to where you can look identify what allergens are present in their food.
P.S. if you’re a restaurant owner and want to know more about allergen menus and how I can help you please email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com and I would be happy to chat with you!!
