No paywall on how you eat · Free for every tier
The rankings should know how you eat.
Every list filters by what you can actually eat — before the rankings load, not after. Gluten-free, celiac, nut-free, dairy-free, Halal, Kosher, vegan. Stack them. Save them. Carry them. They’re free for everyone, on every plan, every trip, every day. Because access matters more than revenue.
Cost to use
Free. Always. Every tier.
How it’s built
Checked against each kitchen’s own words, source and date kept
Stackable
Layer multiple needs — Celiac + Dairy-free, etc.
Tap a filter. See the logic, live.
Every filter is free for every reader. Toggle any combination below and watch the sample list re-sort — matching dishes stay, the rest drop away. It’s the same AND-logic the app runs before the rankings ever load.

No sample dish clears every filter you’ve stacked — try removing one.
Stack filters like Gluten-free + Halal or Vegan + Dairy-Free — a dish has to clear every filter you tap, not just one. That’s the exact logic the app runs before a single dish ever loads.
Demo with sample data — for illustration only, not live rankings or verified dietary guidance. How our tags work →
What’s in the dish, not medical advice.
Our dietary and health tags are checked against each kitchen’s own published words, made to help you find food fast. They are a starting point for a conversation with the restaurant, not a guarantee.
-
01
We read the menu, not a lab
Allergen and religious tags quote the venue’s own dated words; health lenses are read from each dish’s listed ingredients by published rules. We don’t run chemical or allergen tests.
-
02
We tag conservatively
When a dish is borderline, we leave the tag off rather than risk a wrong one. For allergens especially, we’d rather under-tag than over-promise.
-
03
Labels describe the food
A chip names the ingredient, nutrient, or eating pattern. It never claims a health outcome — the meaning lives here, so the chips can stay short.
-
04
Always confirm at the restaurant
Recipes, suppliers, and cross-contact change without notice. Tell your server about your diet and confirm before you order.
The same four rules ship inside the app, on the Rankings board. The longer version — what the four kinds of tag mean, and what a tag is not — is on how our tags work.
Because access isn’t a premium feature.
Most food apps lock dietary filters behind their paid tier and pretend it’s a "Pro feature." Eating with Celiac isn’t a Pro feature. A nut allergy doesn’t take a day off because you didn’t upgrade. We made a decision: the filters that keep people fed and observant are free for every tier, forever. The premium features are elsewhere.
Built for the way you actually eat.
Medical, dietary, religious. Stack as many as you need. Every tag is checked against what the kitchen itself publishes — and where the kitchen doesn’t say, the tag stays amber.
Celiac Friendly
Strictly gluten-free. We look for a dedicated gluten-free facility or a published cross-contact protocol — a naturally gluten-free ingredient list, on its own, isn’t enough to earn the tag. See what actually matters when eating out with celiac.
The dedicated GF kitchens →Lower-acid, lower-fat leaning
Lower-acid, lower-fat, gently spiced picks — a leaning, read from the listed ingredients and preparation. Triggers are personal, so the chip stays honest: a leaning, never a promise.
How we verify →GLP-1-conscious
Worth asking, not confirmed: a leaning read from the plate — portion, protein, pacing — for a smaller appetite, always with the question to ask the kitchen.
GLP-1: what’s worth asking →Lower-glycemic-leaning
Worth asking, not confirmed: a leaning read from what the dish lists. Carb counts come from the menu, so confirm them at the table.
Lower-glycemic: what’s worth asking →Low-FODMAP-leaning
Worth asking, not confirmed: a simple plate with no high-FODMAP staple named — garlic, onion, wheat, legumes, cream, honey — read from what the dish lists. Serving size matters, so it leans; it never promises.
How we verify →Nut Free
A dish earns the tag only once a kitchen has put a nut claim in writing — not an assumption from the ingredient list. Shared-fryer and cross-contact carve-outs quoted separately.
The nut-free kitchens →Halal
A named certifier, or the venue’s own published halal statement — never a community vote. Greater Washington’s Halal scene runs deep — surfaced fully, on every tier.
DC’s Halal picks →Kosher
Kosher-certified, with a named hechsher or supervising authority. The Pikesville, Silver Spring, and Northwest DC kosher scenes get full editorial treatment.
The certified kosher list →Dairy Free
Lactose-intolerant or full-on dairy-allergic. Built without dairy as listed — which is not the same as a kitchen that keeps it off your plate. Ask before you order.
How we verify →Plant-based · Vegan
No meat, fish, dairy, eggs or honey, as the venue lists the dish. Restaurants that take the cuisine seriously, not as an afterthought.

A note from theTEAM
We will never paywall a filter that protects your health.
Religious observance. Celiac protocol. Allergen avoidance. Lower-glycemic leanings. These aren’t features we charge for. They’re table stakes — for a food app to deserve the trust of a person whose body has rules. Free for every tier. Free forever. Free even if Lifetime is closed and you’re on the trial.
We charge for the discovery layer, the Hunt modes, the curation, the gold ring. We don’t charge for the right to filter out what you can’t eat.
