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.

The cupcakes are pretty good, rarely they can be a little dense/dry but they are almost always great! I reccomend the red velvet, lemon, and soft pink extra! The quiche and almond cake are outstanding. For a bakery they have lots of gluten free options. Not just some cupackes, but brownies, monster cookies and almond cake? Wow! It is pricey but I'd say it is worth it. Make sure to call ahead to see what gluten free is available if you want gluten free.

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!

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!

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!

Iva

Gluten-free options! The one with yogurt for me was delicious (not too sweet). The mimosa was a little strong in order to feel the lavender flavor, but it was still good. The place is so beautiful and they have a very friendly staff.

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.

Just a great place off the Riverwalk. Food is wonderful, and they don't play around when you order, fast service and hot. They do have vegetarian and gluten free.

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.

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!

Vivienne Grey

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!!

This Shake Shack location was phenomenal! I went in to grab a quick snack, since they have gluten-free buns on their menu and I have celiacs. I had brought cash, and someone was ordering on the one register that had a cash drawer. Not to worry though, because an employee asked me for my order so that they could get it started while I waited to pay. I let them know my order, a Shack burger with a gluten-free bun. The employee asked if it was a preference or an allergy, and I specified allergy. Since I was by the registers, I got to see them clean the grill where they were toasting my bun and hear them say “it’s an allergy” multiple times, ensuring my burger was treated with care. By the time I paid, my burger had just come to the window prepared! I sat in their immaculate dining area and ate the burger, which was just top-notch, especially the gluten-free bun. All in all, I was just so impressed! If you are looking for a delicious burger and some good options, this is the spot. Please come here if you can!

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.

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.

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.

Not only do they offer gluten-free cookies, they are also super careful to separate them from the 'normal' cookies! Speaking of the gluten-free cookies... They taste fantastic and have an awesome texture!
