The quality is always top-notch, the staff is friendly, and the prices are super reasonable for what you get. It’s my favorite spot when I’m craving a great burger without the gluten. Highly recommend!
My wife has celiac, so when we moved to Corpus and saw that Padre Island Burger Co. had gluten free buns, it was a no brainer to try. Good thing we did, because the food is amazing! No issues with GF and tons of burger options! Friendly staff and nice outdoor seating makes for a great casual dinner after a long day of work or a day at the beach!
Pros:
Service was excellent. Our server was kind and responsive. The views really are gorgeous and it’s a great time of year to be outside. The GF options are clearly defined.
Food:
I got the grilled fish tacos. This is NOT a place I would go with celiac. Although our sever was truly amazing and willing to figure out anything, there was no mention that the fries had gluten.
The food was a solid three stars for me. The ingredients are fresh and the fish and burger were cooked well. But everything was a bit lacking. The green beans tasted frozen to me. They very well just could have been steamed, but they tasted bland to me. (And I really like green beans.) I wished the corn tortillas were heated. They were straight out of the bag, and the fish was cold. That being said, I took my extra one home because the Tuna was super solid and well seasoned.
The ceviche was Tex-mex? I’m not sure what was going on. It was more of a saucy salsa style rather than a cut up, pico type, of salsa. Again, the fish was fresh. I loved the shrimp in it but overall me and my husband were disappointed with it.
For highly sensitive people, it’s very loud. But it’s a very popular local spot on the beach so that is to be expected. I was glad I brought my sunglasses as it’s open to the outside.
If you’re looking for great views, solid food, and a casual eat out, this is a decent option. I don’t know what else Corpus has to offer but people seem to love it. Our Airbnb even recommended it.
I would wager a bet that their fried fish options are super solid. I just couldn’t partake with my gluten allergy. But given how well my fish was cooked, and the other reviews, I’d go for those meals.
Chops & Eggs has quickly become our go to spot, we eat here weekly and every single meal is consistently perfect. Pictured are two of our dinner favorites: Tender lamb tips with mushrooms, rich brown gravy over creamy mashed potatoes and the 16oz prime New York strip, cooked to absolute perfection and served with mash and fresh asparagus. Both dishes are not only beautifully presented but bursting with flavor.
As someone with a gluten allergy, I’m always impressed by how many safe and delicious options are available. The care they put into accommodating dietary needs is rare and so appreciated.
Chef Jordan is truly exceptional his love and passion for food shines through in every bite. The prices are reasonable, the staff is always friendly, and the welcoming atmosphere makes us feel like family.
We always leave full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!
This was our first time dining at BKK Thai and we had an incredible experience. The food were delicious and fresh. There were plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The service was excellent from the beginning till the end. Christina, the restaurant manager, was super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We feel very lucky to stumble on such a wonderful restaurant. ☺️
Our server took the time to ask the chef if different food items were gluten-free. I ate the salmon roll and Mango tuna yuze poke small plate. The Yuze poke was delicious. I especially loved the crunch of the shrimp chips which is a real treat as gluten-free. I can't wait for our next conference trip to eat here again!
Look, I read the reviews; I always read the reviews and especially the negative ones. I imagine this place can get quite busy during the beach season AND everything is made to order. If you want fast, go to Mcdonalds or Starbucks. In the end it wasn't like it was that slow but not everything in life THIS GOOD should be fast. I had a creative bun-less burger called the Sgt Dan. It was delicious - 5 star for sure. I'll be back. Enough variety in the menu to keep it interesting and a gluten free option or two. Also, with it being close to the beach I can eat, maybe have a glass of vino, and then take a walk on the beach.. which we did. Good times.
I loved my pizza! It's difficult to find a tasty gluten free crust that tastes good, but they've done it. I also appreciated that they offer different sauce options for those us us that can't eat tomatoes. I don't get to eat pizza very often because of my dietary restrictions, so I'm grateful to be able to find a place that can cater to them. Thank you!
Best place in Corpus. Classy, well -sourced & seasoned deliciousness (oysters, fish, key lime pie). They also have a GLUTEN-FREE Menu. Whole team was fantastic. Shout out Miranda. A+
A real jewel in the area! The service is excellent, the food and drinks are great too. They don’t have many gluten-free options but plenty vegan dishes. The desserts looked AMAZING and my niece verified 10/10 delicious. Only advice to the owners would be to continue working on the restroom and gluten free options and y’all would truly pop. 🩵
Great food and service! They were so awesome to trade out the hamburger bun for a Gluten-free English Muffin. You gotta try it! Amazing for gluten-free hamburgers!
Tom and I just ate beyond burger free today with drink purchase. Mine was without the bun(avoiding gluten). It was very good and our waitress Theresa V. was very sweet, service was fast and excellent.
Food wasn't bad, but the customer service was perfect. I ordered about 15 pizzas and tried their family meal deal, and everyone loved it. They also have a gluten free pizza you can get in any size.
Nana was our waitress, twice now, and that lovely NEEDS A RAISE!! She knew what we needed and wanted and my MIL has to have gluten free..Nana didn't miss a beat she says "I GOT YOU"
Food was DELICIOUS!! MIL and I was "mmm here and mmm there" I am very picky with burgers and Neko's Burger hit my fancy that when we went back...I GOT IT AGAIN! I really need to try something else from there as I know it will be on point!
Atmosphere..
Beautiful place and very clean. Happy and chatty customers throughout but not obnoxiously loud 😁
Celiac friendly
