Pringles Chips
According to people in the know, the BBQ and Original Pringles chips are milk-free. But remember, once you pop, you can't stop.
Taco Bell
Taco Bell has a super easy to read nutrition menu, which will come in handy after a night of drinking. Because, who doesn't want to run for the border for milk-free tacos, right?
Anyway, while most items at Taco Bell come standard with cheese and/or sour cream a little substitution can go a long way.
According to the Taco Bell allergen page:
"When ordered Fresco Style (cheese and sauces are substituted for Fiesta Salsa) most items can fit into a dairy-free diet."
So, as long as you say, "No Cheese", the tacos and burritos are safe.
For dessert, the Cinnamon Twists are dairy-free.

Burger King
Burger King has a great allergen menu. According to the menu, Burger King's buns and hamburgers are dairy free. Their french fries are dairy free, but the onion rings are cooked with other stuff that may have dairy. So, Whoppers are fine as long as you skip the cheese. The Spicy Chicken Crisp sandwich and TenderGrill chicken sandwich are also dairy free.
The Dutch Apple Pie for dessert is also safe.
Breakfast is a bit tricky, but the French Toast Sticks and Hashbrowns are generally safe, except they are cooked next to other foods that contain dairy.

Pizza Luce
If you are looking for lactose-free pizza, the best spot in the Twin Cities is probably Pizza Luce.
They have four Twin Cities locations (Seward, Dowtown Minneapolis, Uptown and St. Paul on Selby) and one location in Duluth.
There are a ton of vegan options on their menu (pizzas, sandwiches, desserts). My wife's favorite is the Pizza Athena which is a Greek pizza with soy cheese. The nice thing about Pizza Luce is the small pizza is perfect for one person, so those who are not lactose intolerant have plenty of dairy-filled options.
If you go, don't forget dessert. Pizza Luce offers a vegan peanut butter Rice Crispy bar with chocolate on top that everyone will like.
The St. Paul location also has glueten-free menu items on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Don Pablo's
We had dinner at Don Pablo's in Roseville this evening. The staff was very accomodating to our requests. As for publishing allergen information on their website, Don Pablo's leaves something to be desired.
Their website has this disclaimer:
Don Pablo's recently had a number of product changes and can not provide allergen-free listings at this time. We are currently working with our manufacturers to obtain and develop allergen-free listings. Unfortunately, this is a lengthy process and we do not anticipate availability of this information in the near future.
We asked our server about milk products and he was extremely helpful. After checking with the manager and kitchen staff, he told us that the tortillas are safe, as are the refried beans. You have to ask for the beef and chicken to be grilled without seasoning, as their seasoning contains whey. The margarine that the vegetables are sauteed in is questionable, but you can ask for steamed vegetables.
Hopefully, Don Pablo's will get allergen information available on their website soon.

Wendy's
Wendy's hamburgers and buns are lactose-free, as long as you order without cheese. Wendy's french fries are OK. Some fast-food restaurants use whey as a filler in their fries, which contains milk in it.
Wendy's has a good list of allergen information on their website. Click on the nutrition guide and a PDF will pop-up with the list.
The Ultimate Grill Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Homestyle Chicken Filet Sandwich are all dairy-free, too.
The Crispy Chicken Sandwich is cooked in the fryer with other items that contain milk, but the sandwich itself is dairy-free. The chili has no milk products in it, either.
