I got Domino’s pizza and took it home! I will say that I really enjoyed the meal! Find out why on the video below:

I took a trip to Asian Cafe, in Marysville, Ohio. I normally get two plates and I normally eat the same thing and I’m a creature of habit. Watch the video below:

I had the Yummy Brand Dino Chicken Nuggets. This was my first attempt at trying dino chicken nuggets. It was really good and it doesn’t matter whether it is circle shaped or dino shaped, chicken nuggets can still be good. In my video below I try these for the first time and give my full review on them.

I never had these Made Good Oat Bites until I found them at Walmart. I thought to myself that this would make a really good allergy analysis. It is vegan and is made with lots of vegetables. The video below details my first time ever trying them and how I felt when I ate them!

Eat N Park Allergen Information: http://blog.eatnpark.com/2009/10/smiley-cookie-ingredients-and-allergens.html?m=0

Eat N Park is a place that is found in eastern Ohio, West Virginia, & Pennsylvania. My Mom’s side of the family is from Pennsylvania and I see this restaurant on the way to PA. I want to go there because there are so few of them that I would like to eat their food. 

Food Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I enjoy their food, not to the degree of other restaurants but I have thought of their food to be enjoyable to eat and I would definitely eat there again. I have had grilled chicken and toast on one occasion and the other I had breakfast foods like sausage and hashbrowns. I haven’t had it in a while so I might not have the best memory of what the food is today. 

Allergy Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

Rationale: They seem to want to hide their ingredients and not post an allergen menu. There is an email in the link above (or in the description wherever you’re finding this Allergy & Restaurant review) their customers have been asking about their smiley faced cookies. They have an email where you can find the answers to your allergen questions. You can call them or go in the restaurant and ask them yourself. I haven’t had any allergic reactions so that is good. I wish that they would have an allergen menu revealing the allergens, not the ingredients. I would be more than willing to write Eat N Park an allergen menu with the allergen and not the ingredients. If you are apart of Eat N Park in some way or matter email me at benallergyandrestaurantreviews@gmail.com or DM me on my socials (links will be in the description or on my website bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com on the socials tab) I want to do my part to help restaurants take care of customers with allergies easier. That will save the email team from having to answer those questions. Plus having an allergen menu gives people with food allergies like me the confidence to eat there. If there was an allergen menu I would give this place more stars. Overall I would still recommend eating here because it doesn’t give you any allergic reactions and the food is good.

Swenson’s Drive-In Allergen Menu: https://swensonsdriveins.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/swenson-menu-alergen-20230216.pdf

I remember eating Swenson’s in College! I went to Mount Vernon Nazarene University and graduated there in May 2023 and I remember this food truck being packed! I found an allergen menu on their website and it was extremely helpful! I was thankful to find an allergen menu and eat their because while I was waiting in line our president gave us vouchers to eat at Swenson’s I wasn’t going to go but one of the professors said that he would save my spot and I got the free voucher, so I got free food and I was pretty happy. 

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I was happy to not eat the same thing over and over again at the college cafeteria. It gets old after eating it for a while, it just naturally happens! So I was excited that this food truck came and I got to eat chicken nuggets and fries, since the burgers and hot dogs had dairy in it. I enjoyed my food!

Allergy Rating of Restaurant: 2 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I do appreciate them labeling stuff on their website and separating out on ingredients, but the hamburgers, hot dogs having dairy in it with or without the buns. The sloppy joe even had dairy in it, which I never even knew a sloppy joe could contain dairy (the bun might) . There is a possibility of a bunless sloppy joe having dairy in it, very surprising. Be careful of what you eat here, but I feel like it is safe to eat here and I never had an allergic reaction to eating my food. I would recommend eating here if you can find an option that is free of your allergen!

Raising Cane’s Allergen Menu: https://www.raisingcanes.com/allergens/

Rationale about Raising Cane’s: 0 out of 5 stars

This restaurant has nothing for me to eat. The only thing I might be able to eat is coleslaw but that has egg in it. I am somewhat allergic to eggs where I can only eat eggs if they are baked into something like a cake. Scrambled eggs can give me an allergic reaction if I eat too much of it, so I try to avoid it! The Chicken tenders and fries have dairy in it. Literally the only thing I can get is a drink or a pack of Cane’s sauce! That is it! If I can’t eat your food I can’t give you a star, because it wouldn’t make much sense, but I do respect that Raising Cane’s did put an allergen menu, that is the only thing I will say good about Raising Cane’s. I wish they would have something more like grilled chicken that is dairy-free because I have heard that this place is really good but my family normally avoids it because they know I can’t eat there. This is not a place I would recommend if you have food allergies. Find different places they’re out there.

City BBQ Allergen Menu:https://www.citybbq.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/Allergen%20Sheet%206.2.23.pdf

I have eaten at City BBQ since I was a kid, and have always enjoyed eating there. There is one 15 minutes away and my Dad or Mom gets it and brings it to the house when they’re in the area because they love it too! I love BBQ and I really enjoy eating BBQ and this is my first allergy & restaurant review of a BBQ place and I’m excited to review City BBQ!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I love eating their ribs, brisket, pulled pork, fries, and I’ll eat their green beans as well. The fries have to be the highlight. The fries might be at the top of the list. Get that with ribs, brisket or pulled pork, you have a really good meal coming your way! I would highly recommend it if you like BBQ!

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I have never had an allergic reaction, plus they have an allergen menu. BBQ tends to be very friendly for people like me who are allergic to dairy because meat doesn’t have dairy. Plenty of choices for me to eat. Don’t eat the pulled chicken or the smoked sausage that has dairy in it. Minus those two the menu is pretty wide open, fries and green beans for sides give you two options every time you eat at City BBQ. I would highly recommend eating at City BBQ for anyone who has food allergies and looking for good food. City BBQ is your answer!

Rooster’s Allergen Menu: https://d651b0bc45559e9eaafa-f4d239947d449bf5c8da6abd73db9e1f.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/Menu-Allergens-June-2023.pdf

Rooster’s is a restaurant chain that is popular in the Central Ohio area. There are lots of Rooster’s locations and there is a Rooster’s in my hometown of Marysville, Ohio that I enjoy a lot and eat at often. 

Grilled Chicken Tenders

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I enjoyed this for a while as that was the only entree that I knew to be dairy-free. It was fresh and juicy and I really enjoyed eating it!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Rationale: Vegans and vegetarians wouldn’t want to eat this! The grilled fingers do have corn as an allergy but the cajun fingers don’t. If you have a corn allergy order the cajun fingers.

Big Bob’s Burgers

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I get these burgers everytime and every time I enjoy these delicious delicacies!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Rationale: If you are allergic to gluten, order it without the bun and ask to see because the website has the burgers without the bun and I’m sure they have added toppings that might have gluten in it. The Big Bob’s Burger without the bun contains wheat, but I would ask, I couldn’t even imagine a piece of meat having gluten, but there are things that I wouldn’t think have gluten in it but do. Like People think of dairy. I have to explain to people that this food actually does or doesn’t have dairy and people are shocked when they hear the truth. 

Curly Fries/Tater Tots

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I normally get the Tater Tots and I enjoy eating them! I have had the curly fries and also enjoyed them as well! Can’t go wrong with either of these side dishes.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Rationale: Tater Tots contain soy, while the curly fries contain Wheat (Gluten) and Soy. Vegans and Vegetarians should have no problem eating these delicious delicacies.

Traditional Wings

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: The traditional bone-in wings are really good. They are hot and fresh and I really enjoyed them. I also had leftovers because the wings are huge. I ordered 10 thinking they were small but I only ate 5 and saved the leftovers and had cold chicken. I’m a fan of cold chicken by the way, and I really enjoyed it both times I had it.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 stars: It contains Wheat (Gluten) and soy. Vegans and Vegetarians probably wouldn’t want to eat the wings!

Allergy Rating of Restaurant: 4 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I remember when they didn’t have an allergen menu and we were dependent on the waiters/waitresses to make sure my food didn’t have dairy in it. I used to be able to eat the fried mushrooms but they put dairy in the fried mushrooms so that is not an option for me anymore. I’m glad they have an allergy menu for people like me. I have eaten here for years and haven’t had an allergic reaction. I’ve communicated with the waiters/waitresses and it has made the difference for me not to have an allergic reaction. I would highly recommend eating at this establishment because they take food allergies very seriously, plus they have really good food.

*Read the Ingredients of the item. It is like a grocery store! No Allergen Menu!

I went to Buc-ee’s on my way down and back from a trip to Atlanta, Georgia with my college. I did buy a Buc-ee’s shirt. Buc-ee’s are common in the South like Texas, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, & Tennessee. It is so crowded there it is crazy! I stopped at a Buc-ee’s two hours away from Atlanta and it was pretty cool to see the store and how nice it is kept clean (seriously the bathrooms were really clean). It is a great place to get gas and stretch after sitting on a bus for hours on end. 

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I love the Buc-ee’s Beaver Chips. They were like a fried potato chip. I thought they were amazing and I really enjoyed the fact they had them at the location. Those were the closest things to Buffalo Wild Wings Buffalo Chips that they used to sell. If you view or listen to my Buffalo Wild Wings Allergy & Restaurant Review I talk about how much I miss the Buffalo Chips. Unfortunately there isn’t a Buc-ee’s close to me at all. I have heard rumors that a Buc-ee’s is opening in Huber Heights, Ohio which is an hour or two away from my hometown of Marysville, Ohio. Overall, I would eat the Beaver Chips again. The food is not like gas station food that is stereotyped for being bad. 

Article for Buc-ee’s moving to Ohio: https://www.wlwt.com/article/buc-ee-s-ohio-huber-heights-opening-plans/45121085#

Allergy Rating of Restaurant: 2 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I was trying to order BBQ (Brisket or pork), but it had dairy in it, which I’m sitting here like I’ve never seen dairy in Pulled Pork or Brisket and I’m allergic to dairy so that doesn’t work at all. Luckily they do have things labeled and really that is the allergen menu. It is exactly like looking at labels at a grocery store like Walmart or Kroger. It is pretty good at labeling and as much as the hot food doesn’t have very many options for me I was glad that Buc-ee’s didn’t hide anything for me, plus it is like a grocery store and you can find items because that store is huge! Overall I would recommend going to Buc-ee’s but it is extremely busy, but it is worth the wait because it is a clean establishment.
