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!!!!

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.
Worth the wait!
I did the “build your own pasta” with the gluten free pasta & parmesan cheese sauce, which was delicious - being able to mix & match their pasta options to all be GF was great. Husband got the chicken parm & absolutely loved it too. Portion sizes were very generous!
We chose 4/5 as for an Italian restaurant, we were hoping for a bread appetizer that most restaurants offer, but we didn’t have that. And we do agree with the other reviewers that it is a little slow, but it’s absolutely worth the wait. Staff were all very kind & personable!
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!

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.
Felt confident with my gluten free request! The photographer was 10/10, so patient with our big group and created a great memory for us to look back on!
We ate at the bar as we found a place at the last minute, but our bartender welcomed us perfectly. I wanted the meat to be very well cooked, so it was slightly burnt. Our chef prepared a special gluten-free sauce for me. I expected a little more truffle flavor in the truffle fries. But overall I liked it very much. Thanks
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!
This meal was incredible, as was the service. The food was delicious and the staff were so kind and thoughtful- attending to our every need. Fazia was amazing and they had a ton of gluten free options too!
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
I had the best lamb here! It was juicy and had a great taste. I also got the grits with jalapeño cheese and that was sooo good. They have good gluten free options for my partner who has celiacs. They had really great drinks too! I love the environment here. The chef was also walking around talking to people which was really nice. Overall an amazing experience.
What a nice hidden gem. Tucked away behind the art museum overlooking the river this little Italian restaurant will delight. The dishes were flavorful and unique. It is clear this food was created by a true chef and not just a cook. The pasta is all hand made on site and they offer gluten free. If weather is nice I highly recommend sitting outside for a river view.
Love this place! I have celiac disease and it was hard to find a good place on the river walk with gluten free options, lone star had a gluten free bun so i got a delicious cheeseburger, staff were very well informed about allergies. Penny was a great waitress :-)
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.
We enjoyed dinner … they even offered a delicious gluten free bun with my burger …. so grateful for a gluten-free bun with my burger I did not have any reactions so this was a plus everything was served hot and fresh

Anthony was my waiter. He is friendly and personable. He made me feel welcome. He is attentive and knowledgeable to the needs of the client. When I stated I was gluten free he went to get the gluten free menu.I enjoyed eating the Blackened Snapper . My shareable was quite tasty . The restaurant wasn’t crowded and was seated quickly.
Superb! The service team is super friendly and kind. Kat (the service team member who helped us) helped us find what to order. She was familiar with the menu items and helped me identify whether there were any foods I’m allergic to in what I wanted to order. And she told us there is gluten free bread!! It was super delicious!! Also, their homemade rootbeer is incredible. ☺️
The food was okay and I am super grateful for vegan and gluten free places because I can’t eat out without them. I however think they charged way too much for what we got and it should have had more veggies on the tacos at least cilantro tomato spinach. There was none on mine. I was not highly impressed especially for what I paid for 2 people spent $80 with tip! I didn’t take pictures but I should have
My husband and I ate here for our 15 yr anniversary. We both had steak. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Juicy and delicious. We both had the red potatoes and veggies. Everything was great. My husband had the ice cream dessert and I had the key lime. Both were mouth watering. I have a gluten sensitivity and the waitress was very helpful with those modifications. I drank a prickly pear margarita and it was delicious. 100% recommend!
A quick stop for quality, traditional Mexican food. The flavors and service are always solid. Gluten Free options, but if you have Celiac cross-contact concerns, take all usual care & precautions. I've not had a reaction.
Superior customer service. Bobby and Brandon went above and beyond to take care of our large group. I have celiac and need strictly gluten free and they took it very seriously, verified my order with the chef to ensure safety and I didn't get sick at all. I ordered the paella. Great atmosphere too.
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.
Was such a delicious option for lunch. I had gluten free gumbo with fish and my daughter had cheesy noodles with chicken. It tasted amazing and the wonderful ladies who helped us, Drea and Zion, were so fun and hospitable! Highly recommend.
Had bunch today at the Sugar factory. They have a great range of food and drink, and a gorgeous view over the riverwalk.
Was delighted that they have gluten free options too.
Ashley the manager and Tanya her amazing waitress were both so lovely.
I’d highly recommend checking it out.
My sister and brother-in-law were visiting from Melbourne Australia, and this seemed like the perfect place to take them for the real San Antonio tourist experience. Stop by after the Riverwalk no wait and sat right on the river. They were incredibly impressed with the food as were my two daughters and I the gluten-free menu is pretty small but very very specific. I truly enjoyed the meal that I had the pricing for Casa Rio is absolutely phenomenal especially for the location would love to dine here on an evening, but no, I would need to make a reservation.
The only reason Casa Rios doesn’t get a full five stars was because a few of the items we ordered we were charged for, but never received gave them a call provided them the information they needed and they refunded without any hassle.
INCREDIBLE experience!!! From when I called to see the wait time, to when we were leaving. Just in awe! When we called the hostess she was very warm and friendly and accommodated us. We sat right in front of the chefs making the nigiri and it was so fun. Drew was our waiter and he made our experience awesome. He was very knowledgeable and gave his recommendations and they were 100! The sushi is the most fresh and best tasting sushi we have ever had. The atmosphere is chill and calm. Very clean. Modern and sophisticated. My husband is gluten free and Drew went out of his way to accommodate and present options that were safe for him. Hands down recommend 1000%! We will definitely be back! I’m sorry my photos aren’t the best. We were so anxious to eat.
Came with a large party and Samit & Yadira were fabulous! My daughter and I also have celiac, and I was so impressed with so many people in our party still paying good attention to make sure we were taken care of.
Celiac friendly
