I was extremely disappointed with the experience here. Which is unfortunate because my first visit a few months ago was extremely positive. From the extreme unprofessionalism of the servers, to the uneducated staff in the kitchen. I was served a gluten filled meal, even though I specifically requested a lettuce wrap and a gluten allergy.. when the food was put in front of me, I told the server it was not correct, and he said “you need to take that to the manager to fix it” instead of offering to take care of it. Overall extremely disappointed and will not be coming back.

Always love Rodeo Goat, and love them even more now that I can't have gluten (their GF buns are great and mean I don't have to miss hamburgers anymore!) Ever since Bernie's Burger Bus closed in the pandemic I thought I'd never have another burger that could compare, but RG is just... flawless. Awesome service every time, delicious food without fail, always on top of any order alterations requested, and SUPER fast without compromising at all on quality. They're always my first recommendation for anyone who wants a burger in Houston. 🍔🐐🔥✨

Soft, crumbly biscuits (per husband). Can make gluten free adjustments, brisket hash is a savory delight with the perfectly paired green crema. Highly recommend their oat milk cortado — perfectly smooth with a rounded nutty flavor. Hidden gem.

Staff was so nice. Gluten free crust tasted amazing but based on the after effects, would not recommend for anyone who is celiac.

When you want finish a 30 Day Detox Challenge and the only thing that gets you thru the last week is dreaming of pizza. Not that crusty, greazy, cardboard peperoni generic delivery but the kind that speaks to you. I had heard tales of Distrcit 7's new pizza spot but yet to make the adventure. And after the diet, the bar may have been set too high but they delivered. And yes, I went by myself to eat an entire pie. I took half home to share with the bf. And then ate it before he got home from work -- Sorry, I'm not Sorry. IT WAS 30 DAYS OF NO DAIRY, GLUTEN OR SUGAR ... I give myself credit for not rolling around on the pizza (yes, it did smell that good). The store front is bland but works. Parking was easy. The guys taking the order were more than nice and accomodating and funny. And have a genuine love of pizza. And food. And beer. I had the bison buffalo pie and it was everything that a dreamy pizza should be. This isn't your "girl next door" pizza - this is the Lexus of pizzas. I mean, I'm sure their pepperoni or cheese pizza are divine but I come here for things like aioli and blue cheese. Veal is next on my hit list. This pizza geek is sold. Maybe even a little starry-eyed. I rate this over Pink's and Star's. But I think both are overrated. I know, I know ... shoot me and take away my Houston Inner-Looper card. (I will say, it is just as over-priced as District 7 Grill though. And also you probably shouldnt plan on eating an entire pie - unless, it is day 31 of a 30 day cleanse.)

Looooove this place! Everything about it. Just wanted to recommend that the owners add plant based, Gluten and Dairy free options to the menu.
