Has anyone eaten here with PA/TNA? Their menu seems safe so wanting to see how it went.

We have, several times, because my DH really likes it.  Me, not so much.  But it's okay.

They have an allergy book.  But you really need to watch.   We order pulled pork and it seems like every time they bring it out with a big slab of texas toast on top, which we cannot have.  We send it back and get a new one.  Happens even when we tell them we don't want the toast.  There seems to be a huge disconnect between the serve staff and the kitchen staff.  But that's at our local restaurant.  May be different somewhere else.

DS eats there more than I'd like to admit.  It's a favorite go-to location for him and his friends.  He is allergic to PN, TN, Sesame, Chick Peas and certain forms of Soy.

Going Nuts what does your son order there? We go there but I always bring his food. My son is allergic to peanuts, treenuts and sesame. He would love to order from there.

He generally gets ribs.  Off the top of my head the sides he likes are mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and potato salad.  All very heart healthy, as you can tell.  ~)

I love their 600 calorie menu.  And the grilled pineapple for dessert is da bomb!

We used to eat there ALL the time.  I believe it was just the corn muffin that was a "may contain" for PN (we are PN only).  I haven't been for a few months though.  They were always very accomodating in giving us the "book" with their items and ingredients.

I've noticed the ones near us have pecan pie and so we've never tried it.  Did you notice at other locations what they had on the dessert menu?

We never order dessert, so unless it's something prepared on shared equipment I never pay attention!
