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!

I love their gluten free pizza! And they have awesome toppings. Pizza night is one of those simple pleasures of life. And when you have food allergies it feels even more special. It’s exhausting to say over and over “Sorry, I can’t eat there”. But when it comes to Sam and Louie’s I get to say “oh yeah I can eat there! And it’s good!”

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.

Finally had Zambra Fusion Cafe for lunch! This is a vegan meal but they have a bunch of vegetarian, gluten free, non gmo, and organic options! And yes they serve meat too if you’re not into the healthy stuff! 10/10 recommend!

These dishes are POPPIN with FLAVOR. 🤯 Very tasty, flavorful, and well presented. I love that their menu is very inclusive of food allergies/preferences like vegetarian and gluten free 🙌🏼 We had the Panang Curry with shrimp, and the Tom Kha Gai, with Thai Tea. The Thai tea was a little too sweet for my personal preference but balanced out with a glass of water pretty nicely. Everything was ❤️‍🔥packed with flavor❤️‍🔥 and at a perfect temperature. Great customer service too!

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!

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. ☺️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Delicious and Gluten-Free Thai Experience! I can't say enough good things about this place! Every dish we tried was absolutely bursting with flavor and the best part? Everything was completely gluten-free, which is such a rare and wonderful find for Thai cuisine. The Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, and Panang Curry were all superb! Rich, fragrant, and perfectly balanced. And the Thai iced tea transported me right back to the first time I ever had one, sweet, creamy, and full of nostalgia. What impressed me most was how accommodating they were with my daughter's very restricted diet. They prepared her a simple but flavorful plate of grilled chicken, steamed vegetables, and brown rice, and she loved it! It's not easy to find places that take dietary needs seriously without sacrificing taste, but they nailed it. The only downside is that the cottage can be a bit noisy indoors, but I highly recommend grabbing a seat on the porch—it's much quieter and adds to the charm of the whole experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic, gluten-free Thai food with fantastic service!

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.

Definitely the best pizza oven in town. My wife has to eat gluten-free and they do offer a gluten-free option which is quite good (you can’t even tell it’s gluten-free). Pizza size is more than adequate and the choiofor ingredients plentiful. Their Caesar salad is excellent. We often order online for pickup, but also dine in.

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. 🩵

Friendly staff. They were closing in 20 min. They did not rush us or appear impatient that we were there so close to closing. My son is gluten intolerant, the young man changed gloves and took precautions not to cross contaminate him. It would have been a miserable trip home if he had not.
