Soy & Sesame Allergies: A Note of Caution

For guests with Soy and Sesame allergies, options can be a bit more limited or require extra scrutiny. Based on our information, the only dish explicitly listed as both Soy-Free and Sesame-Free is the Dessert – Plant-based Sorbet. For all other dishes, it is absolutely critical to have a detailed discussion with the chef. Soy and sesame can often hide in sauces, oils, or processed ingredients. The chef will be able to guide you on which main courses or sides can be prepared safely for these specific allergies. Don’t assume; always ask!

Tealmouse’s Top Allergy-Friendly Picks!

After a fantastic meal, here are our top recommendations for an allergy-friendly feast:

• Smoked Brisket, Pork Ribs, or Grilled Chicken: These protein powerhouses are the heart of any good BBQ, and thankfully, they can almost always be safely prepared for most common allergies. The chefs are adept at providing them plain or with dedicated allergy-friendly sauces, ensuring you get to enjoy the core flavors of Roundup Rodeo BBQ without worry.
• Allergy-Friendly Mac & Cheese: Oh, the comfort! For anyone who misses the classic creamy side, Disney’s dedicated allergy versions – whether gluten-free, dairy-free, or both – are often incredibly well-made. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy a similar comforting side dish experience right alongside the rest of your party.
• Plant-based Sorbet: When it comes to dessert, this is a consistently safe and delightfully refreshing option. Typically free from most common allergens including gluten, dairy, egg, nuts, soy, and sesame, it offers a reliable and delicious sweet finish to your meal.

Safety First: Precautions in Andy’s Kitchen

Disney’s commitment to allergy safety is truly commendable. At Roundup Rodeo BBQ, this commitment shines through, even with its family-style dining. For guests with allergies, individually prepared, allergy-friendly portions of specified dishes are always brought separately to your table. This critical step significantly minimizes the risk of cross-contamination that could occur with communal serving. While it is a shared kitchen facility, Disney adheres to rigorous allergy protocols, often using separate ingredients, dedicated utensils, and preparation areas when necessary. As always, our golden rule is to communicate all your allergies clearly and repeatedly with your server and the chef. They are your best allies in ensuring a safe and magical dining experience!
