Does anyone else feel like restaurant allergy information is still way harder than it should be?

Even when restaurants have allergen menus, I still find myself trying to figure out:
- whether staff actually understand cross-contact
- if procedures vary by location
- whether the information is updated
- if other allergy diners have had good or bad experiences there

Some chains make me feel very confident, while others technically provide allergen info but still feel risky.

Curious what other people rely on most before deciding where to eat:
- official allergen menu?
- calling ahead?
- reviews?
- trial and error?
- certain “trusted” chains only?

What actually makes you trust a restaurant with allergies?
