Rene At Tlaquepaque

Location: Sedona, Arizona

“This French restaurant was phenomenal with the allergy! We notified them when making the reservation and reminded them when confirming the reservation and they had it in their notes. Fairly limited nuts on the menu – only macadamia on one item, almonds on a couple and hazelnuts on a couple. My daughter isn’t allergic to those nuts, but we were dining with my nephew who is anaphylactic to all nuts, so a nut allergy was placed on our whole table. The waiter checked the bread and reiterated their safety. Truly excellent!”

Someburros

Location: Phoenix, Arizona

“ALL Someburros locations are safe for nut allergies. No nuts on the menus, but I emailed their Director of Catering who responded lightning fast saying they don’t use any nuts or nut byproducts. So no cross-contamination either! Responsive and responsible! Win, win! Plus, yummy Mexican food!”

We did take out from this location, which I rarely do but had a fantastic experience here. There was a place to disclose allergen instructions online, and when we picked it up, the waiter confirmed that the “gluten free nut allergy meal” was prepared safely!”

They advertise as being a “100% peanut free restaurant” and haven’t changed anything on the menu despite Covid-19! They use a mix of coconut and hoisin to recreate the traditional “peanut” dipping sauce. Such an amazing place with delicious food and friendly staff!”

Puesto La Jolla

Location: San Diego, California

“This restaurant is so tasty and they were fantastic with our little girl’s multiple allergies. The manager came to speak to us after our waiter confirmed everything, then the chef came to speak to us as well. They got a clean, separate skillet and cooked her meal separately in the back. So impressed with their attentiveness and follow through. For just one single taco! She said it was ‘the best chicken ever.’”

Saint & Second

Location: Long Beach, California

“This was such a great restaurant experience, and we dined here safely outdoors during the pandemic. I went because of previous reviews on Spokin and was so impressed! Our waiter came over to our table immediately to ask if we had any questions about the menu, and I mentioned my food allergies. The only nuts in the kitchen are almonds and hazelnuts which were in a decent number of things on the menu, but he said they can remove anything from the dishes to fit my allergies and have a dedicated prep area to prevent cross contact!”

italian+homemade+co.png

The Italian Homemade Company

Location: San Francisco, California

“I let the staff know about my allergy while ordering & they let me know that the only nuts they have in the whole restaurant are pine nuts and that my order was nut-free. Their online menu is extremely clear (and shows the pine nuts in the pesto). I loved the food & it’s been so long since I’ve safely ordered a salad without having to be really vigilant (none of the salads have nuts). Had Italian Homemade with no problems on a takeout order during the pandemic!”

@scristol who manages peanut, tree nut, shellfish, and pea allergies

The Kebab Shop

Location: Pleasanton, California

“Ordered takeout from here during quarantine and was totally safe! I was a little nervous having no verbal contact with the chef/staff but wrote down “severe nut allergies – please prevent cross contact” on my to go order form online as a precaution. Food was safe and delicious! The allergy menu online is so thorough too! This is a chain Mediterranean casual restaurant that has locations through out the Bay Area, Irvine, and San Diego. They have a thorough allergen menu online that I checked before going.”

@emilyamcelroy who manages peanut, tree nut, and Celiac-gluten allergies

spaghetti+factory (1).png

The Old Spaghetti Factory

Location: San Marcos, California

“The staff is always willing to check ingredients and let us talk with the chef. They have a gluten-free menu and cook the gluten-free pasta separate from the other pasta, so no cross contamination for us regarding egg. However, I don’t believe they have a dedicated gluten-free area for those that are Celiac.”

Carver Brewing Company

Location: Durango, Colorado

“Fantastic brewery in historic Durango! Took the allergy very seriously. The manager came out and spoke with us. They have pecans on one salad and almonds on another, otherwise no other nuts on the menu. They also use canola oil in the fryer. Great food, service and allergy awareness!”

@lbedwell who manages peanut and tree nut allergies

sushiii.jpeg

East By Southwest

Location: Durango, Colorado

“Absolutely delicious sushi restaurant with a clear allergy protocol. We alerted them to the allergy when making reservations, but there’s also a clear key on the front of the menu identifying items in the menu with symbols containing nuts, gluten, eggs or seafood. There are only two items containing nuts: a Pad Thai that has a peanut sauce and peanuts and a sushi roll that has macadamia nuts. The waiter placed the nut allergy on our entire order to be super safe. Excellent and no issues!”

@lbedwell who manages peanut and tree nut allergies

James Ranch Grill

Location: Durango, Colorado

“This is such a fun dining experience eating outside overlooking the picturesque James Cattle Ranch…while eating your burger. Delicious food, nut-free and they checked the buns to make sure they were safe as well. Most things are made in-site, the amazing cheese, the ketchup, etc. Truly high-quality ingredients and you can pop into the market next door and go shopping too! So fun and delicious!”

@lbedwell who manages peanut and tree nut allergies

“Very few nuts on the menu – I only saw peanuts (a peanut butter dip on the kids’ menu and a peanut sauce on one entree). The waitress said the allergy was no issue to accommodate and was certain to note it. No issues! Side note: great fish tacos!”

FLORIDA

Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q

Location: Jacksonville, Florida

“I love Bono’s and have been eating here my entire life! No nuts that I can see on the menu and no shellfish. We ordered from them and got take-out (per pandemic). Regardless of the safe menu, we told them about my allergy and they were receptive and understanding, and my meal was safe for me! I love their brisket and Turkey and Mac n Cheese! Also, the to-go bbq sauces are packaged with full ingredients, and so I confirmed they were free of shellfish/fish/nuts!”

Café Tu Tu Tango

Chicken Guy!

Location: Lake Buena Vista, Florida

“I stop here every time I go to Disney Springs. As the name suggests, the only meat served is chicken (and bacon as a topping on the loaded Mac). You can never go wrong with getting chicken tenders and fries but the 22 sauces are what puts this place on the map. My top three favorites are the signature Donkey Sauce, Garlic Parmesan, and the Chipotle Ranch. For their COVID safety measures instead of filling your own drinks at the soda machine, a server is doing it for you. They have you throw away lids after every refill. Tables are also socially distanced and wiped down immediately after use.”

@alyssaarria14 who manages peanut, tree nut, fish, and shellfish allergies

Colt’s Pig Stand

Location: Ormond Beach, Florida

“I’ve been coming here for years!! LOVE the chicken, brisket, smoked turkey, sausage, garlic toast, Mac n cheese…. it’s all good! I’ve been eating here for years. We did pickup today (because of COVID) and they had an awesome pickup window outside of the restaurant. When we told them about my allergies while ordering on the phone, the only food they said wasn’t safe for me was the onion rings because of same-oil usage. I had the Turkey, beef brisket, sweet & mustard bbq sauces, macaroni and cheese, and Texas toast with no problem! Love the Pig Stand!”

Skx31Aik08.png

Hog Snappers

Location: Tequesta, Florida

“My family and I went here for dinner and the staff was very helpful. Everything on the sushi menu along with food that is not fried is safe for people with peanut allergies. However, it is highly suggested to not have anything fried like tostones and fries due to the cross contamination of the fryer. There are main dishes with peanuts but they ensure that they use different utensils and prep area.”

@amandapayo1219 who manages peanut and tree nut allergies

juicebox.png

Juicebox

Location: Jacksonville, Florida

“Always was weary about trying açaí bowls because they mostly contain nuts. The staff was able to accommodate my allergies and the owner’s niece even mentioned how her friend has nut allergies too! She gave me a few suggestions for what she does for her friend. After giving me my bowl, she told me that she made sure to rinse and clean out the blender really well that’s why it took a little longer to bring out (which I didn’t notice or mind.) The smoothie bowl itself was amazing and it’s one of my new favorite spots!”

Mia’s Italian Kitchen

Location: Orlando, Florida

“They were able to ensure that my food was not near any peanut products and took every precaution necessary. The food is absolutely delicious, I recommend the Cacio de Pepe for an entree, zucchini fries for an appetizer, and tiramisu for dessert. The red sangria is one of the best!”

@amandapayo1219 who manages peanut and tree nut allergies

Mister O1

Location: Miami, Florida

“Thin crust pizza that is absolutely amazing!! We had the Margherita and Luca Star pizzas with no issues (the waitress said they were safe)! They do make dessert pizza with Nutella. Ordered pickup during the pandemic. Their online ordering system is great and easy to use, and it’s super easy to add comments listing your allergies as part of every item you select. They still have no nuts other than the dessert pizza, and I felt safe enough after previously eating here.”

@scristol who manages peanut, tree nut, shellfish, and pea allergies

Ole Red

Location: Orlando, Florida

“I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of caution and care they are towards allergies, especially my peanut allergy. I was able to go through the menu with the waiter and chef ahead of time on the phone before I called as well as when I got there in person. The food was SO yummy, I got the Nashville hot chicken biscuit with their homemade tater tots, which are out of this world!”

PDQ

Location: Orlando, Florida

“The chicken tenders, sandwiches and bowls are delicious. But what I was most impressed with was the dedicated and separate area for the shakes involved with peanuts. Most fast food restaurants I go too I cannot have the ice creams because of the cross contamination but this was a pleasant surprise. They reassured and showed me that they keep the equipment separate so that they can guarantee no cross contamination.”

Versailles Restaurant

Location: Miami, Florida

“So so good! Had the Cuban sandwich. Only saw pecans on a salad and didn’t see any other nuts on the menu, and shellfish was present but only in a few dishes. Tried to call and explain my allergy when placing the online order for pickup (per COVID) but we didn’t speak enough Spanish to clearly communicate it. Took the chance anyway & was fine and the food was incredible!”

@scristol who manages peanut, tree nut, shellfish, and pea allergies

VIVO Italian Kitchen

Location: Orlando, Florida

“I have ate there multiple times with my boyfriend, and I absolutely love it! Each time I told my waiter I had a peanut allergy, they would bring the chef and manager out to walk me through the menu. They said that their menu is peanut free, and send out the manager to bring out your dish separately. Great place and great food!”

Himalayan Kitchen

Location: Smyrna, Georgia

“Great experience here! List of allergens used posted at the register. No nuts in the restaurant at all. The owner told us that she originally had a peanut sauce when she opened many years ago, but she found out many of her customers’ children had nut allergies that she cut nuts out of her menu completely. Easy call ahead ordering for takeout! Employees wore masks when picking up food.”

@natalie who manages peanut and tree nut allergies

Ina Mae Tavern & Packaged Goods

Medici on 57th

Location: Chicago, Illinois

“I love Medici! Such a wonderful environment with great food and people. There are a few items in the bakery that have nuts, and they always give me a warning of possible cross-contact, but I’ve never had an issue and they’re normally clean and thoughtful about my allergy. During COVID, I ordered online for delivery from Medici and it was fantastic. No problems at all!”

When we ordered on the phone, they even remembered us and said to us no nuts!”

“This pizza is INCREDIBLE! And the staff was so helpful. We ordered through Tock and received and email from the restaurant asking about dietary restrictions. Then when it arrived, there was a topping that looked like pesto. I texted the restaurant and within 3 min had a detailed response and confirmation that it was pistou (nut-free pesto). It was so delicious and so nice not to worry!”

I asked the man behind the food counter if there were and peanuts or tree nuts in anything, and even though he had to ask his coworker, his coworker knew immediately and said there were no nuts in anything. Everyone was wearing masks. While the employees/chefs were serving certain foods behind a counter, there was a salad bar. (No one at the moment was using it, but it was there.)”

The Warehouse Bar & Pizzeria

Location: Chicago, Illinois

“I really enjoy Warehouse’s gluten free pizza. The crust is really tasty! There is gluten in the facility, so I don’t think this would be safe for folks with Celiac. I’ve been ordering from Warehouse during the pandemic, and they’re always fast at delivering. If you have friends without dietary restrictions or different dietary restrictions they would enjoy the variety of appetizers. My family enjoys the max n cheese egg rolls and chorizo poutine!”

Limited nuts on the menu. Will definitely return! Their takeout has been amazing. Always gloved and masked up with option to prepay. Everything has been safe and clearly flagged allergens.”

“They have great COVID protocols: masks, gloves, even a clean pen and dirty pen cup. I’ve seen them actively sanitizing whenever we pick up here. On the takeout menu it mentions if you have food allergies to let them know so they can accommodate you. This is literally the first time we’ve ever eaten out at an Asian restaurant with our daughter where she could eat more than rice. Usually we can’t because wheat is in so many Asian sauces, but the owner has Celiac and she gets it. There’s a gluten friendly section on there which my daughter could safely eat from.”

“Literally the only place we order delivery pizza from. They’re a local chain here and we’ve felt comfortable getting pizza delivered from them during COVID. You can even leave instructions to just have them drop it off at your door. They were amazing. We told them our allergies and they double checked the labels on everything to make sure it was safe. The gluten free pizzas even come with their own completely sealed pizza cutter to ensure there’s no cross contamination.”

Love supporting a local place too. They have excellent protocol for the pandemic. The workers are always masked and gloved up. You can pre pay over the phone.

“This restaurant is offering curbside family meals at a great value during COVID. I called ahead and was put on hold for the chef. I felt good about the education and awareness and ordered online noting there that we have a peanut/tree nut allergy and asked they avoid cross contamination. The employee explained their cooking protocol (glove use, single use) and dedicated prep areas for dessert, dressing and salad in detail. They were very educated and went well beyond what we are accustomed to.”

Successfully had a delicious cucumber avocado and avocado mango roll for lunch and was able to eat with my coworkers. Would definitely order again.”

“I love Indian food and feel safe eating here! The owner is often on the floor and when you tell them you have an allergy he is usually the one to take the order! Because there is a vegan section on the menu I tend to order off of that because it doesn’t have dairy normally and they don’t have to make changes to the traditional dish! Food takes a while but it’s because they make the dishes fresh and allergy safe for me! Favorite dishes include masala dosa and chana masala! Did outdoor dining here during the pandemic.”

Their allergen statement on their website is also so clear! ‘All of our products are 100% nut-free and gluten-free (except for the beer!). We use no products in our kitchen that contain these ingredients, thus there is no risk of cross-contamination.’ Also because they are completely vegetarian, there is no fish or shellfish in the kitchen!”

We haven’t been out in forever so we almost ordered half the menu! The salad had pecans but they easily make it without. They seemed very well versed and accommodating and the view of the golf course and water is beautiful! We ate at the casual pub located upstairs above the finer dining restaurant. Great pub food i.e. burgers, fish and chips, etc. No peanut oil in the fryer and they were incredibly patient and made everything very easy.”
