The 5 cleanest things to order at Dave & Buster's
Learn this once: a salad with grilled protein and the dressing left off is nearly always the lowest seed oil order anywhere. So the list below sticks to real meals, salads included, never just a water.
| Tuscan Chicken Alfredo | 3.0g PUFA |
| The Ultimate Mac & Cheese | 5.0g PUFA |
| Fire-Grilled Steak Salad | 7.0g PUFA |
| Crispy Tempura-Battered Shrimp (3 pc) | 7.0g PUFA |
| Boneless Wings (10 pc) | 9.0g PUFA |
Lower PUFA is cleaner. These are estimates from published nutrition data and disclosed oils; preparation varies by location.
Why the frying oil matters
Most fast-food chains fry in seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, or a blend of them, which are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). A handful still use beef tallow or other stable fats, which are far lower in PUFA. The oil a kitchen fries in is the single biggest driver of how much seed oil ends up on your plate. See the full breakdown on the Dave & Buster's report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index.
