Newly diagnosed celiac here. Came for the "Real Cheeseburger" on a gluten free bun and it it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Will definitely return. The staff were knowledgeable and assured me my food would be celiac safe. When it arrived to the table, we were asked first where the gluten free burger went. The sodas were good and fries very delicious!

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.

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.

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.

Bird Bakery did an incredible job with a smash cake for my daughter’s first birthday. The whole process was great- from choosing the size, flavors, and decorations. Laura helped capture my vision and made the whole process feel so special. The cake turned out so so beautiful- better than I could have imagined AND it tasted so delicious. Their cupcakes are also amazing. We got a dozen for her party and they were a hit. Lots of flavors to choose from and they even have gluten free options. Lastly, the staff is always kind and inviting! Shout out to Eileen who did a fabulous job decorating 💗🪲

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!

Vicky Kelso

This was in fact the best keto and gluten free cake I have ever had! Perfect texture/perfect amount of sweetness. Clean ingredients that even my non keto and non celiac friends loved it! Excellent communication throughout the whole ordering process.

I came in from out of town on a business trip and naturally, had to check out riverwalk & grab a bite to eat on the water ! Here's the catch- I have severeeeeee celiac disease. Like, cross contamination sensitive. It makes finding safe eateries while traveling a...challenge to say the least. That being said, I found Paesano's via a Google search and saw immediately they had a huge gluten free menu...I called and spoke to the staff before I decided to catch an Uber there..and they made me feel so safe. Understood the allergen protocol. I get to the restaurant and I'm seated immediately- during peak dinner hours. I get a cozy little spot right on the riverwalk, perfect for people watching as I dine solo. My server, Rudy** was such a pleasure - kind , attentive and understood the assignment right away when i explained my allergen needs. He assured me multiple times before food was dropped that he spoke to Chef Raul** and told me their cross contamination precautions. Wow did I feel safe. It means so much to us allergy folks when places just GET IT. And they GET IT . Lovely vibes, personable and friendly service even during peak dinner ! For a solo dining guest ! I am happy to report I have a safe spot to visit next time I'm here in SAT.

Amazing food! They have gluten free and vegan options

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.

Had a great lunch at Shake Shack! Super impressed by the attentive, friendly service from Alejandro and Gio! The food was awesome. Love that they have a gluten free bun.

Harold D

Food was better than average, not great. Plenty of Gluten-free options. So loud I could barely hear the waitress (large open space). If like trendy and drink, then this is a good place.

Update 1/10/25 Daniel was our server tonight and he was excellent in word and action. He was exceptionally polite and inviting. The food was great! Peyton was the best waiter! He was attentive to several tables and kept everyone happy. He was personable and friendly. We enjoyed our evening celebrating our son's birthday. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Peyton paid attention to details and kept the drinks (root beer) flowing, and the table cleared of empty plates and glasses. We were pleased with the service. The manager even offered to bring out samples of prime rib for my husband to choose which one he preferred. It was cooked to perfection and had great flavor. My gluten free burger and salad were delicious. The gluten free pazookie and ice cream were also yummy.

Jennifer King

Food was good and hot. Had the gluten free bun on a burger and it was excellent. Top.shelf margarita was okay but deemed to lack alcohol. They have a dedicated fryer for gluten free fries. Sweet potato fries were good.

Wendy B. Greaux Digital

Loved the experience. The cheese course was my favorite. Tried the artichoke spinach and it was exceptional. They have a full gluten free menu that includes breads, desserts, etc. The meats were high quality. It was a lot for my husband and I when we order 2. I recommend only sharing 1 unless you are starving and want to skip dessert. Dessert, yum! We did the bananas foster and it was sooooo good. Light caramel flavor.

Lupita Aguilar

It was fine. Gluten free cheesecake was actually very good.

I thoroughly enjoy going here! Their ice cream is fantastic and never fails to amaze me. They have a seasonal flavor section that gives you something extra to look forward to when going there. Not that you even need an extra push, I mean, it's ice cream! But I appreciate getting to try new flavors every season. They also now have a doggy cup, so your dog can have a little something too! The place itself is small. Very little chairs to fit in it. So go there with temperature in mind, as you may be walking or sitting outside while having your ice cream. If the place seems too packed inside for you, they have almost a "drive-thru" window on the side that you can order at. Since it's at the Pearl, you can't actually drive up to it, more like a... walk-thru? Either way, it's a nice addition to makeup for lack of space! I highly recommend going there. It's delicious, and you can even ask for samples before committing to your order. There's gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options as well! Inside doesn't seem wheelchair friendly however, but the walk-thru definitely is. I aim to go there anytime I go to the Pearl because it's such a mistake to miss it!

Freshest macaroons and they’re gluten free! These macaroons were absolutely delicious and the bakery is extremely clean and the staff is very friendly and polite, they were able to recommend some great flavours!!

Juan Hernandez

Ian hooked it up today with great recommendations for lunch. Everything was delicious and there was no judgement when I ordered a gluten free bun, and then beer 🙂

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!

Caleigh Piper

We really enjoy the food and the Gluten free buns are great. We always have quick service here.

Kelly Perryman

Started of pretty quiet during our reservation, then progressively loud as more people came in. Anthony our server was great. Food was great and I was very happy with the gluten free menu.

I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, he is so friendly and welcoming! He explained the different cookies to me since it was my first time, I purchased the sugar cookie, brookie, gluten free chocolate chip & peanut butter jealous!! Peanut butter jealous is my absolute favorite, so scrumptious! Crumbl has nothing on Dirty Dough, y’all need to visit this location. They also have drinks incase you get parched, y’all will not be disappointed :)

Nicole Green

It has been several yrs since I last visited here. We went to celebrate a birthday. Our server was excellent. Gluten free dishes were so easy to recognize. Great dinner!

Clarissa Santos

Chocolate chip cookies were my favorite! We got half a dozen in variety and they were all delicious and not too sweet unlike the other famous cookies. They also offer gluten free chocolate chip cookies. Well worth the price. Delicious cookies! Will be back and recommend to friends and family.

Lauren Wicker

Wonderful dinner at Ostra on the Riverwalk. Great location with wonderful and attentive staff, Jorge was a great server- 5 stars from me! I had the mahi mahi, delish! Gluten free options suited my needs as well as other good vegetarian/DF/GF options.

It's absolutely adorable. A wall there would make a good background for your Instagram account if you are into that thing. They have a standard and rotating menu. With gluten free cookie options. They do cater. My cookie was oatmeal rasin gluten free.

Billie Jo Belmares

The food is good and the employees are nice. They have gluten free bread, you just have to ask for it.
