QS shared fryers and allergies

[Rach3975]

This will be our first trip since my son was diagnosed with a shellfish allergy. To be on the safe side, we don't let him eat anything cooked in a shared fryer. I know there are allergy menus at QS restaurants, but most of them seem not to be posted online.

For QS restaurants that serve a lot of fried foods, like chicken nuggets and fries, does there tend to be an allergy-friendly version? Will the shellfish allergy menu just not have any fried foods on it because the only fryer is shared? Does it vary by location? I'll definitely confirm when we get there, but without advanced access to the allergy friendly menus it's hard to pick restaurants that might work for both DS's shellfish allergy and the other dietary needs in our group. I have visions of me wasting hours a day going from QS to QS checking allergy menus, LOL!

My son has a severe shellfish allergy. He’s never had a problem at any QS.

Touring Plans have a lot of the allergy menus and seem to be pretty up to date so they should give you a good idea of what's available for your group!

Thanks--I didn't think to look there! I just checked. Only a handful of restaurants have their allergy-friendly menus posted, but some of the ones that do show french fries and chicken tenders as acceptable.

I can’t speak on Disney for certain, but at every restaurant I’ve ever worked at we were required to have a dedicated fryer for fish because of allergies. I would assume that this is a pretty standard practice.

If you google gluten free dairy free you can find most of the allergy menus including seafood I believe

Disneyworld.com has recently added the allergy menus to a lot of the CS menus, in particular the ones that have online ordering. When you open the menu, scroll all the way to the bottom, past the allergy disclaimer.

I wish that were true! We live in a suburb of Washington, D.C., and most of the restaurants we've asked at here don't have a dedicated fryer. Maybe nicer restaurants do, but most of the restaurants we've eaten at since his diagnosis don't.

Perfect, I'll check there. Thanks!

I’m not even sure there’s much shellfish on menus at Disney, let alone fried shellfish.

There are several places that have versions of fried shrimp
