**Full Disclosure: I received a Red Robin gift card in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.
I don’t have many allergies but Colin has a two-page list of them. Of his allergies, the things we most have to watch for are soy and sesame. Can I tell you how hard it is to keep soy out of your diet?!
We are lucky in that Colin’s only reaction is that his eczema flares. But with Red Robin’s new customized allergen menu, we can order things that he can eat without worry.
The allergy menu is completely interactive and easy to use – let me show you!
Go to http://www.redrobin.com/customizer_hub and you’ll see this screen:
The customized allergen menu is on the far left – click that button to launch the menu. (When you are done looking at that menu, check out the ‘Customize Your Nutrition’ link, because it’s neat, too!)
Then select your allergens:
You’ll have to accept the terms of use to go any farther.
After you accept the terms of use, you’ll see ‘Your Options by Category.*’ As you can see below, I selected the Crispy Chicken Tender Salad.
Because the allergen I selected was soy, it tells me I should not have the breaded chicken tenders or the garlic bread. The menu offered alternatives, but the screen was blank. It could mean that there are no alternatives for the breaded chicken but I can’t know for certain.
Because the salad was for me (not Colin), I went ahead and ordered. It was as delicious as it usually is!
Which allergens do you watch for?

NONE, but I LOVEEEEEE Red Robin.
I love the Red Robin anyways, but this make me like them even more. Actually, my best friend’s son has a tree nut allergy and this is one of the few restaurants she really trusts with his food!
This is so awesome! I don’t have full on allergies but some food mess with my stomach. I love the idea of knowing exactly what it in what I’m ordering!
Thankfully we don’t have to watch for food allergies.
We don’t have any food allergies, but I love that they have this option! What a great thing for Mamas of allergic kids!
We love Red Robin, yum!! Great idea with their new menu. I entered your giveaway too.
My daughter is lactose intolerant.
When out we avoid ALL dairy.
She gets SEVERE stomach pain and will vomit,often times repeatedly! =(
We don’t have food allergies. I love the Royal Red Robin Burger!
With one of my kiddos I have to watch for milk products because she is slightly lactose intolerant and it really sucks that most places you have to jump through hoops to find out whats in their food!
We don’t have any food allergies, but my sister does so this will be nice to go to eat there with her.
I love Red Robin burgers and their endless fries! We do not have any allergies to watch out for!
I don’t watch for any allergens.

This is so great! We just did a whole week of food allergy awareness on my blog and it’s so nice to hear that more and more places are catering to this need!
Woohoo! What a neat idea and totally invaluable! I got so tired of constantly asking waiters which foods were safe for someone with a gluten intolerance and finding out how restricted my options were that I cut way back on eating out… T
Luckily I have no food allergies.
My mom is lactose intolerant, so we have to watch out for use of dairy at restaurants.
I was having to stop eating eggs and foods with eggs in them but now I can eat some a little bit at a time!
My family doesn’t have food allergies, but it’s good to know which restaurants are able to prepare meals for those that do. I need to head over to Red Robin soon!
We don’t really look for anything specific. However, great to know they have an allergen menu for those who do!
We don’t have any allergies, but we love Red Robin burgers

My sons have Autism and we have been gluten and dairy free. It has been tough and it is great when restaurants make it a little easier. Thanks Red Robin!
Happily nobody in the family has any food allergies, but a good friend is allergic to fish and fish oils.
I am allergic to raspberries, so most red dessert sauces are out of bounds for me!
Our kiddo’s have quite a few allergies from dairy to gluten. It’s difficult to eat out and we rarely do, so it would be great to not have to worry at Red Robin & one just opened up by us!
We have to look for gluten free foods when we eat out!
Gluten and wheat! I love Red Robin!
