Are you often on the road and wondering about potential eating options, or wondering what the policies of a chain restaurant in your city are? Here's an (ever-growing) compilation of allergy policies from national chain restaurants.
Do be aware that a chain's stated allergy policy may not accurately reflect the situation at your local restaurant. Some locations are unusually allergy-aware and will make many items to order, while some locations of otherwise allergy-friendly chains are less safe than others in terms of cross-contamination and other allergy issues. See Before You Eat at a Chain Restaurant for allergy concerns that are specific to restaurants with many locations.
