Weber Grill

We went to the restaurant on a Friday night and I was a bit nervous because generally during busy times they mess up with allergy things, and its not top priority, but at Weber grill I felt like I was there top priority. I researched Weber grill before hand and only could find a gluten free menu, which is not what I really anything pertaining to me. I asked the hostess if they had a allergy menu, and she explained to me that the waiter would be able to talk to the chef's. We sat down and I explained to him that I was allergic to milk and dairy products. I also explained carmel coloring gets me sick as well. He then went to the back for 5 minutes and found out that I could have any of the BBQ sauces.

The manager and chef brought my food out to me separate and made sure that I was the one with the allergy and told me there was no dairy. That was over and beyond my expectations of this restaurant. My friend and I split the pick 3 meal. We got 2 chicken and BBQ ribs. It was nice being able to eat BBQ! They actually brought all the food split up for us so that was really nice!
The food was a bit too smokey for me but most people enjoy smoked flavor. We also ordered a kabob which was really good, and had a variety of different veggies. Overall the restaurant was really good, a bit overpriced but overall good and really great service. The waiter was not able to answer me if I could eat the rolls or not so I am not sure if they are dairy free. I was able to find a gluten free menu but not a allergy menu online.

Chili's

I did not have a great experience this time. My waiter was ok but overall he seemed to be so busy to even keep our drinks filled. I asked for an allergy menu and they brought me out some paper that it was not valid after 8/31/11. I got a mango tea, which turned out to be nasty, had some type of funny taste to it. I made a decision to just go with a steak because it was probably the safest, and a salad and fruit for sides. The salad tasted really gross. I am not sure what was wrong but it tasted like something had gone bad. I had barely taken a bite and my waiter had not even noticed that I did not touch my salad till the very end of the night. I then got my steak and realized I was not asked how I wanted my steak to be prepared. It was ok but I am just thankful it was not overcooked. I asked him to see what the ingredients of the tortilla chips were and he could not tell me, came and told me because it was not on the allergy approved list it was not ok. I am fairly certain that there is no milk ingredients in tortilla chips but I was not about to try. Overall I was not pleased with the service and the amount of choices that I had available to me. I was overly hungry and I did not feel like I got full at all from chili's. The service was ok he just seemed to be totally busy with something else even though the restaurant was not busy.  Here is a link to there allergy menu, it seems like it changes on a regular basis so check it before you go!

Colton's Steak House & Grill

My Rating:★★★★☆

We knew we wanted something sit down and local for dinner on our vacation. Because I am the one with the food issues we go to steak places because I can generally get steak or chicken with no problems. Let me tell you this is one of THE best food experiences I have had since finding out I have a milk allergy. They do not have an actual allergy menu. I ordered a ribeye and a sweet potato. My dad and brother ordered a onion blossom for an appetizer. I eventually asked what was in it and they told me the egg wash had milk. Our waitress then goes into the back and they made me a small onion blossom fried with no milk! They did not have to do this at all for me and they did! I was so excited because I love onions. My steak was the best steak I have had in years! I ordered veggies with it but it just did not sound good so I did not eat them. I am not 100% sure they did not have butter on them and I was not going to take my chances. The service was amazing and the food was sooo good!!!

Cattleman's Roadhouse

My Rating:★★★★☆

I always fret over going on vacations even if its a small road trip because of my dairy allergy. I cant eat at most fast food places and we are generally on the road so late at night not much is open. We finally came up on a roadhouse a little after 10 at night. They closed soon after so we made it in the nick of time. Our waitress was amazing! I explained to her that I was allergic to all milk products and those type of things. They did not have an actual allergy menu though. I ended up ordering a small filet and it was soooo good! I also got a sweet potato without anything. They cooked there food amazing and they were so kind to me. Sorry about the picture, was so hungry I forgot to take one till I had eaten some! This place is a bit expensive so if your looking for a nice place to eat this is the place to go!

Olive Garden

My Rating:★★★☆☆

Olive garden seems to have some inexpensive deals so mom and I decided to try there for lunch. I asked our waitress if there was a allergy menu and she gave me an attitude. I was a bit frustrated at that point and not going to eat. A few minutes later she came back out with a menu said they had just put it out a few days before and gave me the print off of allergies. The waitress brought out the salad and told us that the salad dressing has cheese in it. I would have had no idea that there dressing had milk products. The allergy menu said that I could have the bread sticks. I asked her about the ingredients and they put a butterish type thing on them. She was able to make some bread sticks without anything on them at all. I was also able to order the all you can eat pasta with meat sauce. I got the healthier of the pastas with whole grain pasta. Over all the food was delish! The waitress was good after giving attitude at the beginning and it was nice of her to make me bread sticks without anything on them!

Max & Erma's

My Rating:★★★☆☆
This is a restaurant we do not frequent. I have been there one time before in my adult life other than this last visit. I asked our waiter for an allergy menu and I believe a manager type of person came over to talk to me. She was so very kind to me. She explained to me there was no allergy menu but I could choose a few things off the menu and she would check the ingredients. I explained to her that casienate and carmel coloring are also milk products and they bother me as well so to please look for those in the ingredients. I ended up ordering a burger which they make fresh I believe there they did not seem to be frozen. I got it without a bun because I did not want to take my chances! They cooked the burger on a whole different thing than on the flat top so I did not get butter into my burger. I got the mushroom swiss burger without the swiss. They cooked the mushrooms for me without any butter or sauces just grilled them which was nice. The burger was good so were the mushrooms. For a side I got fruit salad which they get fruit and cut it up! The portion size was pretty small on the fruit salad it was gone before I remembered to take a picture, in just a few bites! It was small portions but they were kind to me. I was too afraid to try anything else though.

Buca Di Beppo

My Rating:★★★☆☆

I have not been here since I have found out that I was allergic to dairy, and I would always get Alfredo so was a bit hesitant to go. I first went in and asked if there was a allergy menu to our waitress. She came back in a few minutes later said they had nothing like that but I could ask for certain things and she could check. The manager came out and kept telling me that things had egg in it. I kept explaining to him that I was ok with egg, just not milk or anything with milk in it like butter or cheese. He brought up egg again when explaining the noodles. He did not seem to be too sure on things. I found out they put Parmesan cheese in the meat balls, so could not get that. They make the meat sauce a bit different and without milk products of what they told me. If someone is highly allergic to the point of having anaphylactic shock  to something I would be afraid to go there. The manager mentioned a gluten free menu. He also tried to get me to buy the chicken. I ended up going with spaghetti with meat sauce. I brought my own earth balance butter and was able to have bread so I was happy about that. Overall I would give them 3 stars because the food was good, they were kind to me, but overall they had no idea about dairy allergies and did not have any type of list for allergens. The portions are huge and they have a 10$ off 2 meals or 20$ coupon so it is an inexpensive place to eat!
Edit: I got sick after eating this that evening and for lunch the next day either the meat was bad or there was milk in the food I can not be sure of which so I would be careful if going to buca
