Ohio State University
“Overall, Ohio State provides various places and dining halls to eat on campus. You can order through Grubhub or in person to make an allergy note. All menus in person show the main allergens that each food contains. In addition, you can go on their website OSU Dining to look further into the ingredients and nutrition at each dining location. Two of the dining halls include a gluten-free station, and one being tree-nut free. Only the desserts are made in separate facilities that may contain nuts, but the dining halls do not have nuts with the exception of occasional coconut. If you notified the staff of your allergy or make a note on Grubhub, the staff has to follow an allergy-safe protocol and prepares your food in a separate location to prevent cross-contamination. The Ohio State University provides many safe alternatives for students with food allergies and has many different available options of dining and food.”
Adriatico’s New York Style Pizza
“Classic pizza and bar style food options. Can also use BuckID to pay (Ohio State dining dollars). Staff made an allergy note when ordering. Lots of options and the servers typically know what to do when it comes to allergies. Ordered a pizza and it came out warm and delicious.”
Forno Kitchen + Bar
“Ordered a pizza and informed the staff I had a tree nut allergy. They told me they would make an allergy note and take necessary precautions to make sure my food was safe. Great menu and food. In addition, happy hour is half-off almost everything.”
Lindey’s
“Beautiful, upscale restaurant in German Village with a classic yet warm ambiance. Lindey’s is perfect for special occasions where you will love the atmosphere and service, from the lovely patio to the stylish interior.
Great for diners with tree nut allergies! When you let staff know, the team is accommodating and willing to work with allergy needs to help keep your meal safe.
The Lindey’s Burger is a favorite go-to order that is flavorful and satisfying in an otherwise rich menu that includes seafood, salads, and more.
Overall: beautiful setting, reliably good food, and a generally safe choice for those with tree nut allergy concerns when communicated clearly to staff.”
