Have taken our Celiac daughter here many times. She likes the gluten free cheese pizza, no reactions. Also you know it’s a gluten free pizza by the shape of the pan—GF crust is always on a square plate, whereas the regular pizzas come on a round plate.

We also like bottomless popcorn with butter (real clarified butter). Always a win.

For anyone who’s had trouble with Alamo before—I recommend getting there at least 20 min before showtime so you have a chance to talk to your waiter.

Whomp whomp. Asked the waiter if he gets people with GF allergies often and he confidently said ‘yes’! I asked if the popcorn was GF and he said he didn’t know but he probably should. Made no effort past that. Strike 1. Then I asked if the fryer was dedicated and if there was any reason to be concerned that the fryer was used for anything else. He said no and he would make sure to add lots of exclamation marks to the note for the kitchen. Then he asked how to spell gluten. Strike 2. Meal came out and my fries were on the same plate as the gluten bread burger that my boyfriend ordered. We had ordered separately. Strike 3. Did not eat and I fully have no confidence they know what is safe. Lucky for me, I know the red flags and simply enjoyed the movie.

If you have celuac disease, the safe food options are popcorn, and candy. They operate an open air kitchen and hand toss their pizza, which means all plates, bowls and silverwarebare contaminated, regardless of what you order.

I believe Alamo has come a long way with their GF menu and prep. I have gotten sick here before, but that was a mistake on my part. I have never been sick from their gluten- free pizza. I get the brussel sprout pizza often, it’s delicious! Try to get there early to discuss your options with the wait staff.

Didn't try much (ate earlier) but pleasantly surprised to see as many GF & Vegetarian options on the menu (pizza/buns). Would suggest getting there with time to spare before the movie to ask staff any questions. That being said I didn't eat much, so can't say it's great and I highly doubt it's a safe kitchen option for celiacs. (Lakeline theater)

love alamo, but not great GF options. Cheese fries are fried in same oil as everything else and often effect me. Ace pair cider is great though

They do not know how to cook the GF pizza. I have given it many tries as I'm a movie freak , but it's always not crisp,, soggy and disappointing. I've started eating before I go now.

Gluten free is NOT at Alamo. They have an open air kitchen and toss their own pizza dough. I got sick off of the Cobb Salad. I gave them 3 tries and got sick each time. This is specific to the one at Lake Creek in Austin. Maybe the difference is having Celiac disease versus choosing to be gluten free - as someone with Celiac, I definitely can't eat here. The chef and manager have confirmed they are not safe for those with Celiac.

who doesn't enjoy Alamo draught house? and its even better when enjoying some delicious pizza on a gluten free crust! At one time they even had some really delicious gf beer on the menu. Green's endeavour I believe it was. of course they don't have a gf kitchen so there is risk, but personally I've had no trouble. I've always had a good experience here, so enjoy!

I really wouldn't trust eating here, especially with Celiac. I love Alamo, but the three times I've ordered here, there was some mistake pertaining to my intolerance. The last mistake they gave me vegan instead of gluten-free, which hasn't happened to me... ever... I asked all the right questions and even clarified when they brought it to me, but it just seems like allergies aren't taken too seriously here. They comped my meal, but I will definitely not be ordering food here until they get stricter about food allergies.

I want to give this place 4 stars (vs. 3) but the reality is that I didn't feel great after eating here. I can't guarantee it was my meal? But it most likely was, so -- approach with care and caution, I guess.

I let the server (who was lovely) know I was celiac. He seemed knowledgeable and focused, and said he was flagging my order. I had the BLT club on a GF bun and fries (which he said were in a dedicated fryer). They also offer GF pizza crust.
