Ben's Allergy & Restaurant Reviews

I went to Blue Ginger Asian Bistro in Dublin, Ohio for dinner!!
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed the Sweet and Sour Chicken and the White Rice.
Allergy Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They labeled items that had peanuts on their menu. I’m allergic to peanuts, dairy, & tree nuts and it was great to see a restaurant label items that have peanuts in them.

Revelry Tavern is right next to the AMC Movie Theater in Dublin, Ohio. I have been to the AMC Movie Theater a couple of times and I always wanted to try this restaurant. Today was my chance and it didn’t disappoint!
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: my burger on sourdough bread was amazing. The fries stole the show!!! Their fries are so good and it is easily one of the best fries I have ever had.
Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: My waitress was really nice. She made sure my food was safe. Their burgers normally come on brioche buns and they had dairy in them so I asked if they could do it on sourdough bread and they were more than accommodating towards making an alternative meal for me.
They do label for gluten on their menu unfortunately they don’t do it for dairy. I like their idea of labeling for gluten and I’m happy they do that. It would be nice to have an allergen menu on their website or in their restaurant.
This would help the waitress/waiters out because they won’t have to go back into the kitchen to search for ingredients. If it’s on their website restaurant’s website this will save time and stress for your employees and give customers with food allergies more reassurance their food is safe.
I can even write an allergen menu for any restaurant that wants it. Please email ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com and I would love to talk with you!
Overall, I thought Revelry Tavern is a great place to get a bite to eat and I highly recommend it.

Taco Villa’s Is A Mexican Drive Thru Restaurant in Bellefontaine, Ohio. I ordered online and ate it in my car. There was no indoor seating and it was raining.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed my fish tacos and Mexican Rice. The fish had a crunch to it. It was pretty good. The Mexican Rice was fluffy and delicious.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really want to say they have a great online ordering system. They have a section where you can type your allergies in. It’s the Special Instructions tab. That’s an automatic 5 out of 5 Stars
Have you been to Taco Villa’s before?

I have heard great things about the Flying Pepper Cantina from my friends and family. They were right. This place delivers in food and service. They are great people who make great food.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The Shrimp Tacos and refried beans are really good. I have no complaints about the taste or quality of the food.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: my waitress was amazing and even the manager came out to talk to me. That’s an incredible gesture for someone with a dairy allergy. I felt safe eating here. I had no allergic reactions and I think they do such an amazing job with food allergies.

I tried Taco Pros in Marysville, Ohio. The new restaurant just opened up last week and it was the first time I ever had it.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed their steak protein bowl. The meat was nice and tender. I really enjoyed their steak protein tortilla strips and everything I had in my bowl. I can’t complain about it at all.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I saw the menu being labeled for gluten free. If you’re gluten free items pretty easy to identify what you can’t and can eat. Unfortunately they don’t have it labeled for dairy free options.
I am willing to write an allergen menu for any restaurant owner that wants to label for top 9 allergens in their restaurants please email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com and I would love to talk to you about getting an allergen menu for your restaurant.

Los Cabos Mexican Restaurant was the restaurant I tried tonight. I have seen a billboard of the restaurant as I was driving into Bellefontaine. It was a festive environment as there was karaoke playing as I was waiting to get my order to go.
It was near closing time and I didn’t want to eat past their closing time so I went to McDonald’s and ate in their parking lot after I went in and got a bottle of water to eat my dinner.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: My Tacos and Mexicans Rice were really good and I highly recommend you try their food.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I had no allergic reactions and I was happy to find dairy-free food. They have a website but they don’t have an allergen menu.

P.S. If you’re a restaurant owner and are wondering what an allergen menu is and why it is important to have in your restaurant please email me at ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com

I tried Ron’s Pizza tonight and had a very nice waitress. She answered every one of my food allergy questions. Plus they have plenty of food options for you to choose from.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars:
The pizza toppings reminded me of my Mom’s pizza. I showed my Mom and she even agrees! The only difference is she uses Rhodes Rolls to make pizza or she gets a loaf of bread from Walmart and we put sauce and toppings on our pizza.
It was a nice surprise to know that Ron’s Pizza has pizza toppings like my Mom would make them.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They do use their Facebook Page as their website. But their waitress did a great job. She had someone check the ingredients on the pizza crust and it was fine. I had no allergic reactions. I heard the kitchen say dairy allergy and that was nice to hear. They have great communication and felt like they took food allergies seriously.

Hot Head Burritos was my next stop to try! I have heard of this place before. I saw billboards of Hot Head Burritos trying to get a new location in Marysville, Ohio. We still don’t have a Hot Heads in Marysville yet. I do think it would be a great addition to my hometown.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I got steak tacos with corn, bacon, lettuce, and no cheese. I have never been to a Mexican Place where they offered bacon on their tacos so I took advantage of it. I highly recommend you put bacon on your tacos! It’s that good!

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have an easy to read allergen menu. I also didn’t have an allergic reaction. Hot Head Burritos reminds me of Chipotle a lot. They have plenty of dairy-free options that I can enjoy!

I highly recommend you try Hot Head Burritos.

I tried Hardee’s for the first time ever. It was combined with a Love’s and I have seen it driving through Bellefontaine, Ohio before and I wanted to try Hardee’s tonight.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really did enjoy their burger and fries. I got the burger with bacon & lettuce only, no cheese. I honestly have no complaints about the food whatsoever.
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: Hardee’s has an allergen menu that’s easy to read. It was so easy for me to identify what was safe and what wasn’t. I also had no allergic reactions and that’s a great thing!
I will make a quick disclaimer to you to always check your food to see if they made your order right. The first burger they made had cheese on it so I went up to the counter and asked them to make another one. After I did that and communicated what I wanted they did get it right the second time.
Things happen and miscommunications happen all the time and that’s why being so alert and on-guard can save you from having an allergic reaction. I had the same thing happen to me at Wendy’s and Burger King before and that shouldn’t be a reason to not eat at Hardee’s.
I think Harden’s has great food and has a great allergen menu. I highly recommend you try Hardee’s.
Have you eaten at Hardee’s before?

I tried Stoner’s Ice Cream Parlor and I was hoping to find dairy-free ice cream and let me share my experience with you.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: Even though I didn’t find dairy-free & tree nut free ice cream I still found Oreos and I love Oreos.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: the people behind the counter were really nice. I asked if they had dairy-free ice cream and they said they did, but it had almond milk in it. I’m allergic to tree nuts so that wasn’t an option for me. I wish they had an oat milk ice cream to eat, because I was hoping to find ice cream, but I did at least get something to eat.
