Outback steakhouse


I haven't been to outback since finding my allergy. We had good service and the food is really good. They have a new option of getting steaks cooking over a open flame. The food was great, service was good, and I felt safe eating there

O'Charley's

I have not eaten at this establishment since becoming aware of my allergy. I was very hungry today when we went in, well overly hungry and that makes me very nervous. If I'm not overly starving I can always pick up subway on the way home from a restaurant if they do not have a allergy menu.  O'Charley's actually has a allergy menu. They had one printed off at the restaurant like this one at my location.
You can also view there allergy menu online at O'Charley's Allergy Menu.
I had a hard time deciding what to eat because the dairy allergy menu items were few and far between, and I did not want a salad. I also did not want to pay 20$ for a steak not knowing the quality of it and maybe waisting my money.

I ended up with a burger and the chips, there really wasn't many other choices.
The waitress was very kind to me and I explained to her that no butter, margarine, sauces, or sprays could be used when cooking the hamburger and she made sure they didn't. The burger looked and tasted great. I felt like they knew what they were doing, but there just was not very many choices for a allergy.

Longhorn Steakhouse


I have been here I believe 2 other times since I have found out about my allergy. The last time I went to this location the manager told me that the butter they use on the grill is soy based, I have not taken my chances but its good to know. I also was given some margarine that they have that does not have milk products in it. The waitress was very attentive to my needs and did not give me a hassle or attitude. The steak was delicious and she found the dairy free margarine they had at the restaurant. Overall a great experience again!

Epcots American turkey legs

I was totally starving and needed something to eat and really didn't want another burger. I ended up getting a turkey leg. They showed me the ingredients and explained how they prepare it. This is big enough to share and so good. I was totally shocked I could actually have one of these! I am so getting one next time I go!!!

Epcot's Italian tutti Italiano


Epcot has many 'countries' set up. We chose to eat at the Italian restaurant, because it's a favorite. I am a bit weary of eating at an Italian restaurant because all of the cheese. The bread and pasta don't have dairy in them. The bread was delicious and they offer oil with the bread. I ended up with the pene and red sauce. I really didn't like the red sauce, just a preference thing so I did not get much to eat. They offered me a few desserts, I ended up with Lucy brand sugar cookies, which I haven't tried yet, doesn't sound great but it was part of the plan.

Hollywood studios 50&'s prime time cafe

If you go here you are in an awesome experience. The chef came out right away and was so kind and awesome! The restaurant is set up like a house type setting. I ended up with fried chicken, veggies and fries. All was so delicious! All there fried chicken is dairy free, they can make a gluten free type I believe. For dessert I got a brownie and rice dream. The brownie was so good. Im not really a fan of the rice dream, but if you are this is a great alternative! The waitress was amazing so was the chef! What an awesome experience.

Disney's beach club beaches and cream

We ended up going here because the horrible experience at the other restaurant. I ended up with another burger, but I did wake up this morning sick but I am not sure if it was from the food or not, there is really no way to tell. The restaurant is a ice cream shop so I'm not so sure if there was cross contamination because it could have easily happened.
