Ben's Allergy & Restaurant Reviews

I Ate At Dollywood With Multiple Food Allergies (Dairy, Peanuts, & Tree nuts). I want to share what I ate with you!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The Cinnamon Bread was the best thing I got. The bread, icing, & sugar were amazing. I also enjoyed the churro fries, Foot Long Hot Dog, Curly Fries, Fried Potatoes, & Big Bear Sandwich (Pork & Beef).

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I didn’t have any allergic reactions and they have an allergen menu to where you can see the ingredients they use to make their food. They also use clear allergen labels. I couldn’t believe their Cinnamon Bread didn’t use any dairy ingredients. I even had my brother check for me and he said everything is good. Dollywood sets a great example on how restaurants should treat their guests with food allergies. It was nice to enjoy the day riding rollercoasters and playing arcade games and it’s also nice to not be in a hospital due to an allergic reaction.

I Went to Log Cabin Pancake House in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It’s a 3-5 minute walk from my resort. I was here on a family vacation. I want to share my experience with you!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed my food. I loved the flavor from the Sausage, Hashbrowns, & Bacon. It was really good food!!!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I wish they had a dairy-free pancake. It was unfortunate that I didn’t have the option to order pancakes that were allergy-friendly for me. Everyone in my family except for me ordered pancakes. It’s hard to find restaurants that serve dairy-free pancakes. The good news is that I didn’t have any allergic reactions at all. At the end of the day that’s what matters the most.

I Went to Cinnaholic in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I’m allergic to dairy, peanuts, & tree nuts. This place is perfect for me because they serve dairy-free & nut-free Cinnamon Rolls. I’m so happy that I found this while I was on a family vacation. Cinnaholic’s a great place to eat in the Smoky Mountains.

I Went to Hatfield & McCoy’s Dinner Feud in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee while I was on my family vacation in the Smoky Mountains. My Mom bought tickets to this dinner show for all of us! Thanks Mom!! I wasn’t allowed to film videos when the show was going on, but I will say that the show was very entertaining and a great addition to your dinner. Now let’s review the food 😀
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed my food here. With my food allergies I got a different meal than everyone else. I got fruit as a replacement for dessert & I got different bread that was dairy-free. I also got rotisserie chicken, potatoes, & corn on the cob. My food was amazing!! The quality of the food was amazing and full of flavor. The food was also very fresh!!!
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have a great process here. My Mom also is allergic to tree nuts so she called in ahead for the both of us to make sure we had food to eat. They were so accommodating and we got a special meal ticket when we got to the building. This helped me feel safe when we were planning our vacation. I’m happy to say that I didn’t have an allergic reaction & my Mom didn’t have an allergic reaction. Thanks Hatfield and McCoy’s!!

I Ate Gorilla Taco while I was on my family vacation in the Smokies. My family absolutely loved this place and said they want to come here again. Now let’s get into my review of Gorilla Taco.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved the Mexican Rice!! It stole the show. The rice was fluffy and soft. In other words the rice tasted like it should taste. I liked my carne asada tacos with corn salsa in them. I enjoyed my chips & salsa here too! The beans had a little kick to them, but I enjoyed the flavor of the beans. Overall, I thought the food was full of flavor and really good!!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I didn’t have any allergic reactions and the waitress was really attentive and made sure my food was safe for me to eat.

I Had Cook Out for the First Time in my life while I was on a vacation in the Smoky Mountains. My sister loves Cookout and said this is a great restaurant to review and she’s right I was happy with my food.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed the fries!! They stole the show here!!! Hot and fresh fries are the words I would describe these fries as. I liked my burger, it was fine!!! I got bacon and lettuce on my burger. It wasn’t the best burger I have ever had but not the worst.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have an allergen menu here!! I really appreciate that because it made it easy for me to know what I can and can’t eat. I also didn’t have an allergic reaction!!!

I Tried Coco Cuisine in Columbus, Ohio. I want to share my honest review with you!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved my Sweet and Sour Shrimp. It was hot and fresh!!! I liked my white rice and my frog legs. The frog legs were like frog nuggets with bones in them. I will say that the frog net was tender and delicious. Even though they didn’t look like frog legs they were still delicious!!!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I didn’t have an allergic reaction. The restaurant was clean and well run!!

I Went to Pita International Mediterranean Restaurant in Dublin, Ohio and I wanted to share my experience with you.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: My Gyro was amazing!!! I got Gyro Meat, lettuce, & a pita. The Gyro meat was amazing!!! Hot, fresh, & amazing. The fries were really good too. They had a Greek seasoning on them and they were delicious!!!

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have a vegan options listed on their menu. This is a big deal for me since I’m allergic to dairy. Vegans don’t consume dairy and that makes me feel much better about not having an allergic reaction. I didn’t have an allergic reaction & I can’t complain at all.

I reviewed Gelatolicious in Polaris (Columbus, Ohio). I came here after I ate at Panda House of Polaris for dinner. I wanted to grab some dessert.

Food Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I got Strawberry Sorbet. It had an interesting taste at first, but the more I ate it the more I liked it.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The lady working the counter was amazing!! She used separate utensils and containers to grab my strawberry sorbet. That was the highlight of this trip.

The only thing I would suggest is to add a Vegan, Dairy-Free, & Nut-Free Gelato. I want to come back and try this again & maybe I might try more flavors.
