Only fresh spring rolls aka summer rolls are safe for those who can't handle fat.
When I eat out I still have to take peppermint capsules first and ask for food to be made with less oil/grease. Sometimes (especially if they don't speak good English) they don't satisfy my request. Noodles and Co always makes it how I like -with less oil- and a lot of their foods are safe. I love Indian food but everything has dairy in it. We ate there Saturday and I did fine with my tandoori fish, rice and spinach but DH got D!
The worst places for eating out IMO are pizza places, greasy sandwich places (like Potbelly), some Americana chains (Applebees is good but Champps is bad  ), and Chinese buffet always makes me sick, even if I try to avoid the bad stuff. Thai and other Asian restaurants are good if you avoid coconut curries or deep fried stuff. Seafood places work very well. Broiled fish or cedar planked or fire roasted are your friends. Woodfire restaurants tend to work well. Big Bowl restaurant also has some great no grease meals. I find Asian is good because you never have to worry about dairy at all- except of course Indian food like I mentioned. Mexican is really hard, but I don't have much experience with it. Chicken or shrimp fajitas with no cheese and sour cream are safe. In general IBS has taken the fun out of eating out and I only do it when I have to. I prefer to cook a nice safe meal- nothing is really off limits when you can make it yourself and substitute as desired.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
