McDonald's is actually quite good about peanut allergies. We just don't order things like the McFlurry. Mini-unblock has a severe peanut allergy but we've never had a problem other than the first day we found out.

They have a pretty regimented process for preparing food and the unsafe allergens aren't generally in the fryer or on the grill, so we're good. Of course, we always take epipens and Benadryl with us just in case.

Actually, it's the proper restaurants that are more of a concern. We have to interrogate the manager to know if it's safe, we have to inspect the entire menu to know what questions to ask (I see you have a pecan-crusted fried snapper here, does that go in the same fryer as the one you use for French fries? E.g.)


Now, I certainly would never order something that normally comes with peanut butter and just say "no peanut butter please", certainly not without stressing the importance of getting this particular order correct....
