A long-time favourite establishment of mine, and one of the only places I enjoyed burgers from, even before my diagnosis.

While staying at the Hyatt, I found this place online for a friend with gluten allergies. There were many doubts and some in our group wanted to turn back as we walked there. Man were we happy we didn't listen to the naysayers! This place was awesome! The outside doesn't look great but the inside is very quaint. The staff were very nice and the food was simply amazing. Most of the group went back the following day.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant. I was in town for a wedding and googled. Having celiac and egg allergy it not always easy to find a good place with good options, but I was amazed by the food here. I went back a couple time's before leaving. This is going to be my to go spot always when in SA. Staff were great, atmosphere is very cute and friendly and did I mention the food ....it was AMAZING, so delicious, great variety , it made me like a normal person enjoying food actual regular food and not having to worry about getting sick!!! A definite win!!!

We came here to celebrate our son's 23rd birthday as well as his upcoming graduation from The Culinary Institute of America, and it was well worth every cent! We did the tasting menu and shared everything family style. The food is dairy and gluten free as well as plant-forward. That said, the braised shirt ribs did not disappoint. We left full and happy. If you're dining with someone who doesn't like vegetables, bring them here to change their mind.

What a treat to have vegetarian and gluten free! The food was delicious! And the agua fresca was sweet and refreshing. There were so many yummy sounding choices it was hard to pick, I’ll have to come back.

Rose Punzel

The food was delicious, I was able to have chicken fried steak and gravy gluten free! The waiter was very knowledgeable about their gluten free options as well as gluten allergy/ Celiac. There is not a separate gluten free menu however almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free and they have a separate prep area/ fryer. My only issue was it was kinda expensive, very yummy though!

Yummy Gluten Free cake ordered for My mom's birthday. It was rich and delicious. Great ordering experience and service. Very friendly and convenient. My mom now wants to use Akki's for her own orders!

Dawn Revell

We absolutely love this restaurant and eat there at least once a month. One of the big draws from me ore. Originally, choosing this restaurant was the delicious gluten-free menu. Any authentic food.

Emily Colgan

In town for a conference and needed a place with gluten free options. Sherry, or server, right away asked if we had any allergies she needed to be aware of. I told her I had celiacs. She informed the kitchen and Orlando can it and discussed with me while the have gluten free dough and will do their absolute best not to cross contaminate he could not 100% guarantee it. I very much appreciated his honestly and told him I would give it a shot. I preferred the Vera Margerita pizza. It was the absolute BEST pizza I have had in a really long time. I am full, happy and had no reaction. My husband had the duck pappradell pasta and loved it. Thank you guys for a wonderful tasty evening and the thunderstorm did make for a great show!

Server Mary was exceptional! Very kind and informative regarding menu items. One of the individual’s in our party had a gluten allergy. Food was great and atmosphere was good. Was hoping to sit outside but wasn’t able during this experience, but Mary made up for it!!!!

Alma Silva

Service is always top notch! The food was excellent, the creme brulee and drinks were awesome! I love the fact that they have so many gluten free options. Definitely will be back!

Good for people with celiac disease, awesome beef fajitas and dessert, never have got sick

Long time customer and almost everything is amazing. Worth the trip.

Keith Williams

I was very impressed by this pizza spot. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. Had the loaded queso dip, taco nirvana chicken pizza, and the mighty meaty pizza. All had fantastic taste. They even had delicious gluten-free options available for one of my neices. 😋 Can't wait to visit again.

Kole Lutz

We waited 45min for party of 4 to actually be sat inside for walk-in even though requested outside seating. Had to ask for server to order food cause we may have been forgotten. Food was good although gluten tortillas debatable. Recommend if you can sit outside

Cecilia McFeters

Jonathan was amazing, so hospitable and knowledgeable! Gluten free options and omg was it amazing. To get a Primavera, grilled chicken, GF and to be so flavorful! The entire experience was 5 stars!

Danielle Johnson

This is one of my favorite restaurants because of the gluten-free options. My order was slightly made wrong so I went back to get it corrected. Not only did they redo my burger they let me keep the other one and gave us free drinks! Julie was the shift-manager, thank you Julie!

Elizabeth Hampton

I was so excited to enjoy delicious, flavorful, AND gluten free chicken tenders and yummy donuts! Rotisserie chicken was also really good. The service was excellent and we will be back!

My fiancé and I were visiting San Antonio in April for the eclipse and had dinner at Fogo de Chao for the first time. Staff were wonderful and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The servers treated all of the tables as their own. A special thank you to the manager who was kind enough to bring me the allergen list and go through item by item with me as I have celiac disease. Avoiding gluten while eating out can be daunting but she made me feel confident and safe. The food was delicious, the salad bar had multiple options and there was never a shortage of meat coming to the table. We felt very special at the end when we were surprised with a crème brûlée. We would 10/10 recommend and hope to go back someday.

Jesse Wall

Nicolas M was absolutely amazing! He recommended the octopus, bistro steak and more. He made sure that all our questions were answered. If we had any questions at anytime just to flag him down. He never left our table without us being confident in what we were asking/ordering. I am gluten free so finding a place that accommodates and understands can be difficult at times but this place understands. They are also veteran owned! He even brought my leftovers out after being left behind! He went above and beyond! You definitely won’t be disappointed coming here!

We went to BellaGreen today for my birthday and really enjoyed everything. Don’t let the buildings facelift deter you, parking in the garage is validated as well. They also cater, including gluten free options. We had: the OG pizza, a huge salad honey fried goat cheese and arugula, honey garlic cauliflower wings Gluten free, and kids pasta with Alfredo. For dessert the gluten free carrot cake and the apple crumble. Impressed with the gluten free options, overall restaurant cleanliness and great service. we will definitely be back.

Hannah Schoeninger

Their gluten free pizza is a thick crust! Wild since we always get stuck with cauliflower crust. Really awesome spot for celiac out of towners.

Firstly, you can go anywhere and eat great food. It’s not the food that makes the restaurant, it’s the employees and service. What Shane and Alex are to that restaurant can’t be bought. We were a little skeptical and tipped average because you pay before you get your food. That’s on us for thinking we’d have the same experience as elsewhere. But I tell you what, that didn’t stop them from being above and beyond excellent—just wonderful people. The food was amazing and I loved the gluten-free bun, one of the best I’ve had. They were very accommodating! Just treat Shane and Alex well, they are so incredibly awesome 😎 we all know how hard it is to find great customer service these days!

Chris Child

All of our food was amazing and there was a gluten free option for our GF friend

Jillian

The food was amazing!! We got the chicken and waffles, the Crunchwrap, and the Ghost Love combo. Y’all, we were crying it’s that good (if you’re gluten free/vegan). My partner is newly gluten free and normally eats meat and said the chicken and waffles tasted like the real thing! Shout out to Michael who chatted with us and helped with recommendations. If we lived closer, we’d be back often!!

timothy cleary

Great food, they have a gluten free menu

C

First time customer and was super impressed!! The food was absolutely delicious! Such a treat for people who are vegan and gluten free, I'm sure non vegans would love it too. Service was great as well. Can't wait to return soon.

They have a gluten free menu you just have to ask! Most sides can be gluten free, just make sure to specify an allergy—ask for corn tortillas and no chips(shared fryer). I am extremely symptomatic and have had no issues here. Brushfire is my fave with poblano ranch!

Bobby Jo Hernandez

I trust the Hopdoddy meat choices (grassfed beef) and love their bowls! This is one of the very few places I will eat out at. They have soy free and gluten-free options and don't use seed oils! Good vibes and fun atmosphere.

A K

Love that they have food allergens listed on each flavor, eliminates a lot of stress, annoying questions and makes ordering (gluten free) a breeze! So far the Goat Cheese & the Roasted Beet flavors are my go to! Although VERY sweet😳 the flavor is rich and unique!

Charles Elerick

This was our first time here and we were very impressed with the flavors and atmosphere. There are many gluten free options and everything tastes terrific. We can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

Tyson Weight

I waited in line for just under 2 hours ... And I would have happily waited much longer. The atmosphere while waiting was very fun with music playing, the smell of barbeque, and families playing in the park. I have celiac disease and did not get sick eating here. They said their meats are all gluten free and their sides are as well, with the exception of the bread and Mac n cheese. I got the pork ribs, brisket, coleslaw, and jalepeño cheese rice. I've eaten a lot of BBQ but none like this. The meat was so tender you could easily cut it with a plastic fork. I live in Utah and honestly I would come to San Antonio again just for this BBQ.

Samantha

First time going there, was a surprise from my hubby. I also have a food allergy, and our waiter was very informative about that I could eat. I have celiac disease, and I actually could eat a lot! Felt like I didn't have to worry about getting contaminated, it was so nice! And the food is amazing! Would highly recommend!

M J Lucas

Delicious food and excellent service. It’s pretty loud inside, but the patio is very peaceful. All waitstaff is ‘your’ waitstaff, so you never have to wait until you see (or remember) who your waitstaff was to get something else. Every one is very friendly and helpful. I love that they have gluten free bread (that is very good). The Bruschetta platter is amazing and enjoyed the Nut Bar for dessert.
