Panda Express

My Rating:★★★☆☆
I was a bit cautious about panda express because it seems that teryaki does not sit well with me if it has Carmel coloring in it. There was no allergy menu at the store that anyone knew of....Well, I was able to talk to the chef and they do not use butter to make there fried rice so that was good to hear. Also they said they make all the sauces there and mostly its a large amount of salt type of sauces. I was able to eat the mandarin chicken, fried rice, and chicken and mushrooms with no problems. I believe that the breaded items have milk in them, so if your allergic to milk I would stay away from those items like orange chicken and egg rolls. If you are highly allergic to milk I would try to find a menu before going into there, but it seems they use all fresh ingredients and make there sauces there. Over all I really enjoyed it and glad I found another place I could enjoy without having problems! They were all so friendly and nice to me about having an allergy!

City BBQ

My Rating:★★★★☆
     What a quaint little restaurant! This restaurant is more of a 'counter' service type of restaurant. It is a mix between fast food and a sit down restaurant. I went in and asked the lady if they had a allergy menu or a menu with ingredients. She went into the back and was able to find a menu with the common allergies and all the menu items with and without different allergies.
      There were quite a few different choices for dairy free dining! I ended up splitting a half chicken with my sister and went with the fresh fruit. The chicken was really good! I did not use any of the sauces available because I was a bit afraid of using any because of cross contamination, but I probably would have been fine but I did not want to take the chance.Also, I did not eat the bread that was given I do not believe it was dairy free. There were other items, like beans, (I believe) that were OK to eat, cucumber and onions would have been diary free as well. I will be visiting this place again due to the menu with allergies listed and the food was really delicious.
