Chicago is documented restaurant by restaurant on ConfidentDiner: 27 listings, each built from the restaurant's own published allergen material. 24 of the 27 publish an allergen menu (22 of them item-by-item), 5 document a dedicated facility, and 21 of the 27 are independently owned — the chains are documented separately, at chain level. The cuisines with real depth here are American (12), Bakery (5), Brunch (4).
Filter this page by your allergen, the protocol items that matter to you, cuisine, price and neighbourhood — every count is computed from these 27 listings. Where a restaurant has not documented something, its page says so plainly and gives you the exact question to ask instead. Nothing here is a safety guarantee: protocols are what restaurants publish, dated, and kitchens change.
Hub content last reviewed 2026-10-28.
Chain restaurants publish their allergen protocol at head-office level — an allergen matrix, a cross-contact statement, sometimes a documented procedure. We record exactly what each chain publishes, allergen by allergen, and say plainly what it does not publish. A chain profile is a ceiling for its locations, never a grade for the branch you are visiting.

24 of the 27 Chicago listings publish an allergen menu in their own material, and 22 of those mark dishes item by item. The rest are listed for the protocol facts they do document — each listing's table shows allergen by allergen what is and is not published.
5 listings document a dedicated facility and 7 document at least one of a dedicated facility, dedicated prep area or dedicated fryer. The most documented include True Food Kitchen (River North), Maggiano's Little Italy (River North) and P.F. Chang's (River North). "Dedicated" is always the restaurant's own published wording, quoted with its source — never our inference.
21 of the 27 (78%) are independently owned, including small local groups. National chains are not mixed into these listings: their protocols live in the chain section (30 profiles), because a head-office document is a ceiling for a location, not a grade for it.
Every listing here was checked against its restaurant's own published material on 2026-10-28, and each page names its source and check date. Menus and kitchen practice change without notice — confirm current practice with the restaurant before ordering, every time.
How a restaurant gets on this page: its own allergen menu or protocol statement was found and dated, or it answered our protocol questionnaire. Listings with no documented protocol are labelled "Listed" and show the questions to ask instead of a claim.
