Ben's Allergy & Restaurant Reviews

I had a very up & down experience here! Let me explain some more!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved my Sweet and Sour Pork & Fortune Cookie. The Sweet and Sour Pork was the best thing of the restaurant. Hot, fresh, & tender pork. I liked the rice, but they forgot one key thing.

Allergy Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I didn’t have an allergic reaction at least, but they didn’t give me a fork/chopsticks with my meal. I was pretty disappointed in that. Plus they have no allergen menu on their website.

I might’ve gone on a bad day who knows, but even on their bad day they have amazing Sweet and Sour Pork.

Have you ever tried Jade Dragon before?

I went to the Heart Lounge at the Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook, Illinois. I was there attending the FAACT Digital Influencer Summit. I sat in two hours of Chicago traffic and I was happy to be at the hotel and relaxed at the Hearth Lounge.

Food Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I enjoyed the fries. I liked the burger meat and the lettuce. I wished they had a dairy-free bun. That’s the only thing missing from a 5 out of 5 Stars.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I couldn’t find an allergen statement or any info of the hearth lounge on Hyatt’s website, but my waitress was fantastic and was transparent about everything! Plus I had no allergic reactions, so it’s hard to complain about anything.
Have you been to the Hearth Lounge?

I went to B-Town Pizza in Bellefontaine, Ohio!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved the wings!!! Those stole the show. I liked my pizza too!!! I got Pepperoni, Sausage, & Green Peppers on a Thin-Crust Pizza!!!

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I liked the guy taking my order. He made sure my food was dairy-free and checked the ingredients for me, & I didn’t have an allergic reaction. That’s always a win for me. There isn’t an allergen menu unfortunately! That’s the only thing missing here.
P.S. if you’re a restaurant owner and want to know more about how I can write an allergen menu for you please email me ben@bensallergyandrestaurantreviews.com

I tried Golden China in Powell, Ohio!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: My Sweet and Sour Combination was incredible😀 I also enjoyed my white rice & fortune cookie. My food was hot and fresh!!!

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I was able to order online and let them know about my food allergies plus the person at the cash register reassured me my food was dairy-free.

Have you been to Golden China?

I ate at China Bell on Stringtown Road in Grove City, Ohio!!!

Food Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I liked my food but wished the sweet and sour sauce came on the side. I normally get my Sweet and Sour Pork without the sauce. I can tolerate the sauce but I would prefer it not having the sauce. I know weird taste buds.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They do have a website but I couldn’t find an allergen menu.

Fazoli’s is a fast food Italian Restaurant and I came here after work!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The Garlic Breadsticks were amazing. I could taste the garlic in addition to hot and fresh breadsticks.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed they took lots of precautions when it comes to food allergies. The only thing is that I wished I could view the ingredients of each dish. I wanted to know what ingredients had dairy in them. It’s better than no allergen menu and I give Fazoli’s credit for having an allergen menu.

I went to Fat Boy’s Pizza & Ice Cream in Bellefontaine, Ohio!!!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: My Pizza was amazing! The best pizza in Bellefontaine, Ohio. I got a deep dish pizza with pepperoni, green peppers, & sausage. The pizza was hot & fresh!!!

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: the guy who prepared my pizza was so great with my food allergies. I could tell he genuinely cared about my allergies. For that this place deserves a 5 Star Rating.

I was in Pittsburgh last weekend and I tried Millie’s Ice Cream and it was a 5-10 minute walk from my Air B&B in Downtown Pittsburgh.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved their dairy-free Brownie Batter Ice Cream. I have no complaints at all.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have their dairy-free options labeled on their menu. It was so refreshing to see an ice cream place offer so many dairy-free options.

I’m going to make sure I stop at Millie’s everytime I visit Pittsburgh. I highly recommend you try Millie’s Ice Cream.

Have you had Millie’s Ice Cream before?

When I think of Pittsburgh restaurants I think of Primanti Bros they’re known for their French fry sandwiches. But I went ahead and got Chicken Tenders and fries since those were free of my allergens.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I loved their 🍟 and they’re worth every penny I spent. I also liked their chicken tenders as well. I really enjoyed the meal here.

Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I had no allergic reactions and they have their allergens labeled on their website. What’s not to like about their allergen processes?

Have you been to the world famous Primanti Bros before?

Chinatown Inn was about a 5-10 minute walk from my Air B&B in Pittsburgh. I ordered it to go and brought my food back to the Air B&B.

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: The Sweet and Sour Pork was amazing. The pieces were huge. The pork was tender and incredibly good. That was the best Sweet and Sour Pork I have ever had in my entire life. I also liked the white rice and fortune cookies as well.

Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: They have a website but no allergen menu. I didn’t have any allergic reactions and when I called in and I told them about my allergy and everything was fine.
Overall I loved this restaurant. If you’re near Pittsburgh or visiting Pittsburgh this is a great place to get Chinese food.
