Whether you have celiac disease, food allergies, intolerances, or dietary preferences, True Plate helps you make more informed dining decisions by showing what real people actually experienced.

### 5/5 — Great idea!

*2026-08-26*

I’m allergic to shellfish and it’s hard sometimes to eat out with all the cross contamination with restaurant fryers and whatnot, it’s nice to have the ability to be able to see other people’s experiences with a restaurant. I have a couple in mind that are good and bad. Hopefully this takes off and many people use it, the more people, the more beneficial for everyone.
