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.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant. I was in town for a wedding and googled. Having celiac and egg allergy it not always easy to find a good place with good options, but I was amazed by the food here. I went back a couple time's before leaving. This is going to be my to go spot always when in SA. Staff were great, atmosphere is very cute and friendly and did I mention the food ....it was AMAZING, so delicious, great variety , it made me like a normal person enjoying food actual regular food and not having to worry about getting sick!!! A definite win!!!

We have recently started frequenting In N Out, and have enjoyed them a lot! They don't have a lot of menu options, but they excel at the items they offer. Pricing is affordable in today's age. They offer bunless burgers, which is amazing for people with gluten intolerance, or those looking to reduce carb intake.

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.

Rose Punzel

The food was delicious, I was able to have chicken fried steak and gravy gluten free! The waiter was very knowledgeable about their gluten free options as well as gluten allergy/ Celiac. There is not a separate gluten free menu however almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free and they have a separate prep area/ fryer. My only issue was it was kinda expensive, very yummy though!

Dawn Revell

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.

Emily Colgan

In town for a conference and needed a place with gluten free options. Sherry, or server, right away asked if we had any allergies she needed to be aware of. I told her I had celiacs. She informed the kitchen and Orlando can it and discussed with me while the have gluten free dough and will do their absolute best not to cross contaminate he could not 100% guarantee it. I very much appreciated his honestly and told him I would give it a shot. I preferred the Vera Margerita pizza. It was the absolute BEST pizza I have had in a really long time. I am full, happy and had no reaction. My husband had the duck pappradell pasta and loved it. Thank you guys for a wonderful tasty evening and the thunderstorm did make for a great show!

Stephanie Garza

Hadn't been here in years but it was just as delicious as ever! Brought my 17yo son for the first time but it won't be his last I'm sure. He loved it! Also great gluten-free pizza and wings! I have a gluten intolerance and I had no issues here. I definitely recommend 👌

Jerome James

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!!!!

So there I was, minding my own business, headed toward a totally different restaurant when—bam!—Miss Chickpeas Cafetel on Callaghan Road in San Antonio popped up like a delightful little plot twist in my lunch plans. The name alone caught my eye, and I figured, hey, why not shake things up? The moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, which already made this detour feel like a good decision. The vibe? Super cute, cozy, and definitely a place with regulars (always a good sign). And while I’ll be honest—I was a little skeptical about vegan food (I mean, can it really compete with the meaty classics?)—that hesitation melted the second I laid eyes on their baked goods case. Vegan and gluten-friendly treats that looked like they just stepped off a dessert runway? Yes, please. Before I even touched a menu, I was already halfway sold. I chatted with the friendly staff, and one of them enthusiastically recommended the Breakfast Sammy. Throwing caution—and my meat-loving instincts—to the wind, I ordered it along with a German chocolate cupcake that was practically whispering sweet nothings from the dessert case. When the food came out, it looked great. The vegan bacon threw me for a second—it definitely looked different—but once I took a bite, I was pleasantly surprised. Not your traditional bacon texture, but flavorful and satisfying in its own right. The ciabatta roll was soft with just the right amount of chew, and the whole sandwich worked really well together. What made the experience even better? The staff came to check on me, genuinely interested in how I was enjoying my first dive into their menu. We chatted a bit, and they let me know their baked goods come from their local bakery right here in San Antonio. Major bonus points for supporting local. All in all, Miss Chickpeas Cafetel was a refreshing, feel-good surprise. It’s a great lighter option when you want something satisfying but not heavy. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their breakfast offerings—and probably sneak in another cupcake (or two). If you’ve ever been curious about vegan food but hesitant to try, let Miss Chickpeas be your gateway. It was mine—and I'm glad I took the chance.

Great burger place, many options. Onion rings quite popular, also pretzel bites. All you can eat sides. Our server offered us fries up front- instead of appetizer. Burgers are customizable and all ingredients delish. Their campfire sauce is amazing! Competent friendly staff check on you without hovering. Kid friendly and I understand quite gluten friendly as well. Full bar. Loyalty program. Military discount.

Jr Padilla

Good for people with celiac disease, awesome beef fajitas and dessert, never have got sick

Michelle Wendt

Loved the gluten-free chicken.

Janet T.I.

Very pleasant experience. The waitress told me “we take allergies very seriously here. We don’t have a seperate GF menu because the majority can be made GF”.

Keith Williams

I was very impressed by this pizza spot. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. Had the loaded queso dip, taco nirvana chicken pizza, and the mighty meaty pizza. All had fantastic taste. They even had delicious gluten-free options available for one of my neices. 😋 Can't wait to visit again.

Maryam A

They have gluten free pizza and it actually tastes good! It’s a bit expensive though. I haven’t been inside because my husband usually picks it up but we really enjoy it.

Kole Lutz

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

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!

Danielle Johnson

This is one of my favorite restaurants because of the gluten-free options. My order was slightly made wrong so I went back to get it corrected. Not only did they redo my burger they let me keep the other one and gave us free drinks! Julie was the shift-manager, thank you Julie!

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.

Eric Gillis

Outstanding gluten-free options!

Jesse Wall

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.

Hannah Schoeninger

Their gluten free pizza is a thick crust! Wild since we always get stuck with cauliflower crust. Really awesome spot for celiac out of towners.

Luis Gonzalez

Outstanding food as always. Drinks are priced well. Gluten free options are available. Always a perfect vibe for lunch or dinner. Be back soon!

Kendra Harris

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!

Nasha Nash

Firstly, you can go anywhere and eat great food. It’s not the food that makes the restaurant, it’s the employees and service. What Shane and Alex are to that restaurant can’t be bought. We were a little skeptical and tipped average because you pay before you get your food. That’s on us for thinking we’d have the same experience as elsewhere. But I tell you what, that didn’t stop them from being above and beyond excellent—just wonderful people. The food was amazing and I loved the gluten-free bun, one of the best I’ve had. They were very accommodating! Just treat Shane and Alex well, they are so incredibly awesome 😎 we all know how hard it is to find great customer service these days!

Dlolovesherboys

Good food. Very accommodating to gluten and dairy allergies! Really fun time!

Becky Magnusson

Cafe de ollo was delicious! Great spot for brunch. Very attentive staff. Seating indoor and outdoor available. Paid parking was available in the lot next door for $10. Was able to handle dietary restrictions like vegetarian, vegan and gluten free.

Cynthia Lubenow

My daughter has Celiac, which is a gluten allergy. Elaine was so helpful with making sure she was safe to eat here. She was very pleasant.

Jayme Cox

Gluten free / dairy free is legit!!! Haven’t been contaminated once.

Jillian

The food was amazing!! We got the chicken and waffles, the Crunchwrap, and the Ghost Love combo. Y’all, we were crying it’s that good (if you’re gluten free/vegan). My partner is newly gluten free and normally eats meat and said the chicken and waffles tasted like the real thing! Shout out to Michael who chatted with us and helped with recommendations. If we lived closer, we’d be back often!!

Delma Gonzalez

Absolutely love the their gluten free pizza! Fantastic!! Pepperoni, jalapeños and onions!! Bartenders Jasmine and Marie can pour you an exceptional drink with a top off if you like, and yes, I do! Manager Julio and kitchen manager Adrian fantastic and salt of the earth! Highly Recommend Parry’s South Rim, San Antonio. It does not disappoint!!

timothy cleary

Great food, they have a gluten free menu

Me Time

So tasty and fresh! Got a gluten-free smoked salmon crepe. I’m so happy to have found a gluten-free brunch spot!

Lideiva Delgadillo

My 1st time @MOD pizza & I enjoyed what I had. They have gluten free choices. You choose everything you want on your pizza. The service was pretty quick considering it was busy. The atmosphere was ok, taking into consideration there were nats flying around. Overall, I would recommend this place.

Kristina

Tried this for the first time. My partner has a gluten allergy and we heard good things about their pizza. The pizza was really good, but very pricey. They charge $4.50 extra for any gluten free items. We sat at the bar and got drinks, the drinks were not good. If you go here I would recommend sticking to the pizza.

Nicole P.R.

We had a great experience here. Our waitress Shay was attentive and thoughtful. I appreciate the gluten free selection. We will definitely be back.

Crystal Berry

Absolutely wonderful service! Pizza is fantastic, the Gluten-free is so good you can even have it cold for breakfast the next day. (If your GF, you know how incredible that is!) I love cold pizza and missed it so much!

Lindsey Butler

I've been coming here since they opened, I've also been ordering the same pizza for about a year. Tonight i ordered the gluten free pizza with bacon, same as usual. Ordered online, picked it up. Got in the car and had a bad feeling so i checked my order. Took one bite out of a silce of pizza and it was disgusting!!!! Went back inside to let them know this was not gluten free and it was also super doughy. The nice young guy behind the counter said "im so sorry let me make another" looked for the dough and looked back at me and said "oh you know what we haven't had gluten free all day" i said no problem i would like a refund. The women ringing the couple up looked over and said "no this is gluten free i make the dough, i can not refund you" I asked the young man for my pizza back and left. The older women was very rude and as long as she is working I will not be coming back!! I got home and put my pizza in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. It was not burnt or anything. It was no longer doughy either. Maybe if the women had listened when I was it needed to go back in the oven longer, this wouldn't have been a issue. My main concern is was there gluten free dough today or not?? Were just not wanting to give me my money back?? Either way I will be taking my business else where.

Paul Hostetler

This is an excellent restaurant. My wife cannot have gluten, and they serve great gluten-free options. My favorite is the chicken quesadilla with corn tortillas or the 1lb grilled chicken platter for 2. Delicious, and I am looking forward to going again.

Brad Wilde

Best pizzas we’ve had in years. Most importantly gluten free! I can see why this place was on the Texas Bucket List!

Dawn Poulton

One of the best gluten-free pizzas I've ever had

Colleen Pence

Had a great lunch at Shake Shack! Super impressed by the attentive, friendly service from Alejandro and Gio! The food was awesome. Love that they have a gluten free bun.

Brooke Hunger

Ordered a gluten-friendly pizza and was given a regular pizza. I ate a piece and a half before I realized. I don't expect gluten-friendly places to be perfect for people with Celiac, but at least give people the right pizza.

Jean Soto

Ordered delivery I got the gluten free pizza Hawaiian it was amazing so was the Secilian pizza .boneless Wings were on point

Melanie Audet

Bunztastic! Really good service, very open space good for a large party to spread out if not busy. Food was very tasty: juicy burgers, well made original fries. They have a gluten free bun that was impressive and a vegan option.

Tashima Jordan

I’m from Houston, where there are restaurants with vegan options or gluten free options, but rarely is there a time when I can find someplace that accommodates all of my dietary restrictions. Until I took a trip to San Antonio! I was overjoyed to find a fast food vegan restaurant that also has gluten free, flavorful buns. I got a classic burger combo, which did not disappoint! My husband (who isn’t vegan/no dietary restrictions) got the earth crunch wrap and the classic jr. Let me tell you, he did not miss the meat AT ALL. We were in San Antonio for 3 days, and I ate here 2 out of 3 of them. Can’t wait to return again soon!
