Skyline Chili Allergen Menu: https://www.skylinechili.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/21062-SLC-Allergen-Info-2019.pdf

I have always eaten at Skyline Chili since I was a kid. I have always enjoyed Skyline Chili because they have extremely quick service and really good food.  It is based out of Cincinnati, Ohio and we have lots of restaurants in Central Ohio. I have also eaten their Skyline Chili spaghetti frozen meals at my local Walmart. It is really good! 

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: From the hot dogs, chili, fries, spaghetti, and the oyster crackers everything from Skyline is really good. It helps that they give you skyline oysters as a free appetizer. I normally get hot dogs, chili in a bowl (because I have been told that the buns contain dairy). 

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I feel like the allergen menu has a great idea. I like that they tell you what you can eat. I did have an allergic reaction to their oyster crackers. I know, right? They used to put dairy in their crackers. Luckily that is taken care of. So I’m giving this restaurant a good review and I highly recommend eating at Skyline Chili.

I haven’t had Benny’s Pizza in years. I just recently went with my friends from Church and I was generally impressed. The last time I had it, I had an allergic reaction to ribs and fries. I know, right! Ribs and Fries? This happened when I was a kid and don’t necessarily remember all the details.

Food Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

Rationale: The wings were excellent. I got the bone in wings and the boneless wings. Both were really good and I genuinely enjoyed eating both of them.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Rationale: If it were last week I would’ve not given this restaurant high remarks, but things have luckily changed for me. Everyone was so friendly and answered all my questions. I called ahead and confirmed with my waiter to make sure everything was dairy-free. The only thing I would change is getting an allergy menu on their website. If your associated with Benny’s let me know and I can write one for you. DM me on Instagram or email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com or comment down below on YouTube or wherever Podcast app you are listening to. I would love to help you improve even more. 

Overall, I recommend eating here. Make sure you communicate with your waiter/waitress and tell them about your allergy.

LaRosa’s Allergen Menu: https://www.larosas.com/pdf/IngredientListing.pdf?v=2023.07.20

I’ll be honest, I had no idea on what to expect from LaRosa’s. It has been in the Dublin, Ohio area for years. I have wanted to go for years and it is 15 minutes away from my house, and I was in the area getting a haircut/beard trim, so I decided to go and try it.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I got myself a pan pepperoni pizza. Guess, what there was Vegan (Dairy-free) Cheese as well. As a person with a dairy allergy this is awesome news. The smell of the food was so good and it tasted good as well. This is one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. It felt like I actually ate pizza like a person who wasn’t allergic to dairy, which is why this meal was special.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: The guy taking my order was super cautious of my allergy. He knew what cross-contimation was. He made sure the utensils didn’t touch dairy. I’m 100 percent sure this restaurant would do the same for you. This Restaurant had Vegan Cheese. I legitimately felt like I was eating pizza at pizza place. It was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. 

Overall, this is a must try pizza restaurant if you have this in your area. There are plenty of options for people with allergies. If you don’t have allergies this is still a must-try pizza place. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth. 

What makes Uncle Beth’s such a Hidden Gem? It is because they have wonderful service and they have really good food. It’s always homemade and you certainly won’t be disappointed eating here. It is open Thursday-Saturday from 11:30AM -7:30PM (you need to plan accordingly). It is always packed and everyone there seems happy to eat there. The place is in North Lewisburg, Ohio (a very small town) and it is a 15-25 minute drive from my house to the BBQ Joint. 

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: Brisket, BBQ Pork, Pork Potato, Nachos, spiced apples, & green beans are very good. If I’m lucky I ask the owner if the cakes are dairy-free and if it is dairy-free I get a slice of cake. I have never eaten a bad meal here. 

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Rationale: They don’t have an allergen menu, but I would be more than happy to write one for this place. You can ask the owner and she is very knowledgable about all the dishes she makes. The menu with the cakes changes, plus they’re always adding to their menu so asking her and the staff would be very important. 

Overall, I believe this is a wonderful place to eat and if you’re ever in this area this has to be your first stop. When my family is around there it definitely is for them. 

I came to Six Hundred Downtown Pizza for the first time with my Church group after we went tubing at Mad River Mountain. Six Hundred Downtown Pizza is a pizza place in Bellefontaine, Ohio. It doesn’t have an allergen menu but you can call the restaurant and ask the waiter/waitress & they’ll help you out.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I got the Italian crust with sausage, chicken, bacon, mushrooms & green peppers. The pizza was hot & fresh & it is one of the best Pizzas I’ve ever eaten.

Allergy Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Rationale: They were very helpful & didn’t have an allergic reaction. The menu was confusing as well. I called them the night before I came and ate here and said the Italian crust is dairy-free, but the menu said it was made out of mozzarella. I was extremely confused & clarified my confusion to them & they did an excellent job of understanding my question.

I definitely would eat here again & if you have food allergies I would recommend you going to Six Hundred Downtown Pizza in Bellefontaine, Ohio.

I went to the Pizza Factory in Dayton, Ohio. I was celebrating my friend’s birthday and I went to the Air Force Museum that is in Dayton. He wanted to go to the Pizza Factory in downtown Dayton. 

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Rationale: This was fresh fresh pizza. I got the all meats pizza. It had pepperoni, ham, ground beef, sausage, and bacon. The crust was incredible. It made my day. This is one of the best pizza I’ve ever had. I ate the whole thing. All my friends loved it too, so it was really good and I highly recommend it if you want a good pizza place.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Rationale: I went and ordered it and the guy put my dairy allergy in the computer and let the kitchen staff know. The only thing I would say is that they don’t allergen menu. I help small businesses write allergen menus. If you own Pizza Factory you can email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com. You can also DM me on Instagram as well. Just search Ben’s Allergy and Restaurant Reviews. My IG handle is bensallergyrestaurantreviews. I do like your restaurant and has really good pizza. It’s easy to communicate your allergies to them and I called ahead to make sure I can eat here with my allergies. I highly recommend you try Pizza Factory in Downtown Dayton.

February 2024

Welcome to Ben Alexander’s Eats of the Month. I’m going to share my favorite dishes I ate this month! I will explain why I chose them and how they can be allergy-friendly for you!

Food #1: Der Dutchman Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Rationale: These cookies are so good. I would say this has to be a top-10 cookie of all time. Der Dutchman is an Amish Kitchen in Ohio and has a location in Florida as well. I have one close to Marysville, Ohio located in nearby Plain City, Ohio. If you have a chance to eat at this restaurant I would definitely give this restaurant a chance. 

Food #2: Farm Rich Mozzerella Sticks

Rationale: Farm Rich Plant-Based Mozzerella Sticks are really good. I found these at my local Walmart. I have never had a mozzarella stick in my life until I filmed it for you. You can find the video on my YouTube Channel on my Shorts page, Instagram, & Tik Tok. I’ll tell you what I loved it and I ate the whole box. 

Food #3: Bowlero Bowling Alley Food

Rationale: I had these on the same day as my Mozzerella sticks. The hummus, salsa, pita bread, and chips were good. I had no meat that day, & I don’t remember the last time I didn’t have meat to eat. It did make me appreciate the fact meat is so important to me, and sometimes you need to take a break to realize how awesome meat is. 

Food #4: Skyline Chili: Chili Dogs, Fries, & Crackers

Rationale: I have always had Skyline Chili since I was a kid. I really enjoy the food. Skyline did change their cracker recipe to have dairy in it before & I would always check on their website or read the skyline crackers ingredients on the packages before you eat them. This goes with any of the food, but I’ll put a link in the description so you can read find out whether it is safe for you. If you’re not sure ask the cooks or servers before you order. 

Food #5: Dominos Wings

Rationale: I love Dominos and their wings are really good. The Bone-in wings are always juicy and fresh. I don’t order any sauce & the Boneless wings are really good too without sauce. Both the Boneless & Bone-in are dairy-free. According to Domino’s Allergen Menu their Boneless Wings have Wheat in them and their bone-in wings have no allergens listed. Always check and make sure they don’t have your allergens. Go and Google search Domino’s allergen menu & go to the one on their official website. I will also put the link in the description for Domino’s allergen menu as well. Also, if you’re not sure go ahead and ask the cooks or cashiers to make sure your food is allergy-friendly.

Lunch: Farm Rich Mozzarella Sticks

Sunday 3/3:

Breakfast: Cinnamon Rolls

Rationale: My Parents made Cinnamon Rolls & I split the pan with my brother. Even though I could’ve ate the whole thing, but it was probably for the best I didn’t because I had more room for lunch.

Rationale: I’m glad I had this meal. It is my go-to every time because I can special order my burger to be dairy-free.

Lunch: Leftover Bdubs & Der Dutchmen Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Dinner: Skyline Chili: Chili Hot Dogs, Fries, Oreos and Crackers 

Rationale: My brother had tickets to watch a Columbus Blue Jackets Hockey game & it was a good time. The food was awesome as well. I haven’t been to a Skyline Chili in a long time & I think Skyline is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. They’re quick & their food is really good, & they do have an allergen menu on their website so I can easily see what I can or can’t eat. You can do the same with your allergies as well. My Dad went to the concessions at the hockey game and bought me Oreos so I really can’t complain about that.

Rationale: I enjoy eating the Tai Pei meals & Crispy Crowns Potatoes by Ore-Ida. I haven’t had Peeps in a while & they are really good. I love Peeps because they’re dairy-free minus the ones that have milk chocolate covering them. There might be more that have dairy in them, but those are the only ones I know to have dairy in them. 

Snack: Rotisserie Chicken

Rationale: My parents bought rotisserie chicken for them to eat while I was at work & gave some for me. It wasn’t that much chicken so I just ate the chicken for a late-night snack. 

Sunday 2/25:

Rationale: China Wok is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants of all time & I have had it since I was a child. My Grandam made a Red Velvet Cake w/ Strawberry Icing for Valentine’s Day. My Grandma freezed it so I could have some later. I just put the thing in the microwave for a while & I can’t complain about Red Velvet cake. I would definitely eat it again, thanks Grandma!

Dinner: Jet’s Pizza: Deep Dish Pizza w/ Hamburger, Italian Sausage, & Green Peppers Plus some Haribo Gummy Bears

Rationale: Jet’s Pizza is a new pizza place in Marysville, Ohio. I’ll have to do an allergy & restaurant review about this restaurant someday. I really do love this pizza & I have had it before because there are lots of Jet’s Pizza locations in the Central Ohio Area, and now they have one less than 5 minutes away from my house, so I can’t complain at all. Topping that off with Haribo Gummy Bears & I can’t complain.

Monday 2/5:

Lunch: Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread w/ Honey

Rationale: Since I was sick I thought Honey was a nice idea to add to my Grandma’s amazing pumpkin bread

Dinner: Burnt Ends

Rationale: I was sick and I thought it was good. It was the first time I had burnt ends. I wasn’t very impressed, I prefer regular brisket instead of the burnt ends. I’m just not a fine of burnt ends! That’s all!

That is why I would suggest you following me on all my platforms so you don’t miss anything that I come out with.

Do a Google search or visit David’s website to see where you can find these delicious delicacies in your area.

Friday 2/9:

Lunch: Texas Roadhouse: Ribs, Fried Catfish, Steak Fries, & Green Beans

Rationale: My parents had a Texas Roadhouse gift card & decided to use it for a family meal with my Grandma. I haven’t had Texas Roadhouse in a while & it was really good. This was the first time trying their ribs & I thought their ribs were good. I highly recommend Texas Roadhouse as a good place to eat that hasn’t given me an allergic reaction.

Dinner: Super Bowl Food: Pigs in a Blanket, Lunch Meat Crescent Rolls, Celery, & JJ Bakery’s Chocolate Pie

Rationale: I really enjoyed that my Mom picked up a chocolate pie from the store to surprise me for the Super Bowl. I love watching football & having some good food to enjoy the biggest sporting event of the year is a wonderful way to enjoy the event when you got great food to eat.
