ALABAMA
The Current at Cahaba
Location: Birmingham, Alabama
“Food truck outside the brewery, with a limited menu. Staff knew all the ingredients to everything, helping me navigate the menu. No nuts in the kitchen as of 12/2024. I was able to have the chicken tenders and fries. I did not ask about the bread used for the buns or melt, but breading for tenders was house made and did not contain sesame!”

Arizona
Intentional Foods
Location: Mesa, Arizona
“My son had the chicken strips and fries here. We visited in August 2024 and drove all the way from Phoenix while visiting my aunt, so a little while ago and I don’t remember what I had, but my son very much enjoyed being able to pick from almost everything on the menu. He’s very predictable and only 5 at the time so he picked chicken and fries. Afterward he was able to eat a donut, something he’s never been able to eat before. The staff were lovely and patient with all my questions and we had a fantastic meal. Will definitely be visiting again in the future!

Goofy’s Kitchen
Location: Anaheim, California
“The chef walks the buffet with us to identify safe foods. Our daughter was able to eat the pizza, chicken strips, fries, fruit, and more. She also ate the soft serve in a cup (I do not remember if the cones were safe). They offered to bring items from the back to avoid the possibility of contamination. We eat here each trip without issues!”

COLORADO
Apres Burger Bistro
Location: Steamboat Springs, Colorado
“We traveled to Steamboat Springs, Colorado for the long weekend. While the majority of our meals were cooked at the house we stayed at, there were a few local spots that we tried. On the first night, we got takeout from Apres Burger Bistro. I confirmed that they had a dedicated gluten-free fryer for the fries and that they could make a burger for me with a gluten-free bun on a clean surface and with clean tools. I had the All-American burger with chicken (preference). My kiddo with nut and sesame allergies was able to enjoy their chicken tenders with fries.”

MAINE
Three Dollar Deweys
Location: Portland, Maine
“My toddler enjoyed the chicken tenders and sweet potato tots. My husband emailed the restaurant before we dined and the general manager emailed back in the same day after talking to the chef. When we ordered, the chef came out to confirm his allergens and the meal. I eat dairy-free, and appreciated the menu also had a whole vegan selection. Outdoor dining space, high chairs, and lidded cups made it extra kid friendly!”

MASSACHUSETTS
Tresca
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
“My daughter has visited Tresca four times in the last year. The food is spectacular—she loves that she can have chicken fingers and fries (the best fries ever)… and I can have a delicious Italian meal. We’ve met the chef/owner, Rich, and he’s amazing and well versed in allergies. This is the only place we have found on the North End that accommodates us.”

Cheers
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
“During our trip to Boston, we were excited to visit the original Cheers Bar. They had a full menu of various foods, including a lot of comfort/bar food. I was happy to see very few nuts on the menu (only 2 dishes with pesto). The waitress told us that it’s a peanut-free kitchen. If it’s peanut-free, meaning no peanuts present… or peanut free meaning no ingredients are made in a facility with peanuts, I don’t know, as we don’t have a peanut allergy and I didn’t want to add chaos to our multiple allergy order. My one daughter got grilled cheese and fries and spinach artichoke dip. The other had wings and chicken fingers. They also let us know that the chips were not made in house so they couldn’t guarantee the ingredients. I appreciated that, because the waitress told us proactively, before I asked.”

MISSOURI
Q39 – Midtown
Location: Kansas City, Missouri
“We’ve visited Q39 twice now on trips to Kansas City. Both experiences were great. The food is great and the waitstaff were knowledgeable and accommodating. They answered questions about the menu and entered allergy orders separately and had them marked as ‘allergy orders’ for the kitchen when preparing the food. The restaurant has a helpful allergen guide on its website. Our allergy kids had the chicken tenders and fries and cheeseburger and fries and gave it ’12 stars.'”

“The restaurant was nice and the food was very good. The waitstaff and management were accommodating and knowledgeable about food ingredients. They verified menu items that didn’t contain our allergens and advised us to avoid dessert items that may contain our allergens. Our kids enjoyed chicken tenders and fries and the cheeseburger and fries. A great place that our family would visit again when in Kansas City!”

Go Play With Your Food
Location: Glens Falls, New York
“Such a cool place! They have over 700 games that you can play while you eat! I told them about my allergies and they had the chef show me all of the ingredients. I couldn’t have the flatbread pizzas as the dough said ‘may contain sesame’, but the chicken tenders and fries were safe. Also almost nut-free, only nuts on their menu were peanuts as a side (and they sell candy so peanut butter cups, etc.). Felt very safe here and had a great time!”

American Girl Cafe
Location: New York, New York
“I had the best experience with American Girl! They asked if anyone had allergies before even seating us, and the waitress was very knowledgeable about everything I was able to have. She told me that everything was nut-free (although she said they couldn’t guarantee cross-contamination from outside vendors) and that the only thing with sesame was the pretzel bun on the burger, but that they could substitute with a gluten free bun that was sesame free. I was able to have every course: the cinnamon buns, appetizers, and even the dessert! I got chicken tenders for my meal and they were amazing. I felt so safe with this experience and would definitely go back!! 11/10!!!”

“Picnik has an entirely gluten-free kitchen with limited nuts and soy! there is a very detailed allergen list online and the staff is very educated and helpful when it comes to food allergies! We started with the chicken tenders as an appetizer and I had the picnik melt for my entree. It was all so good and hard to believe that the entire place is gluten-free!”

Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers
Location: Houston, Texas
“My son is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, and seeds. We LOVE Raising Cane’s because their menu is so limited there is not as much to fear in terms of a kitchen mixup! Their toast does have sesame seeds but we don’t order it and have never had a problem. The chicken is actually really good so the whole family is happy and the staff is so sweet and friendly. Allergy information is clear and available without digging on their website. So glad to have this place nearby!”

“The Four station at Redstone Dining Hall is so helpful! I ate here almost every night sophomore year. They are dedicated peanut, tree nut, gluten, and shellfish free, and I rarely ever see any sesame there. You can also order additional hot meals from a separate allergen menu, and their chicken tenders were always my favorite. Definitely an amazing hidden gem at UVM!”
