Came for dinner and got steak with fries and broccoli. Dedicated GF fryer! Overall, not many options and a bit pricey. Waitress was knowledgeable though, and if you’ve got a hankering for fries then this is the place to be.

Overall I did not get sick, but food was average, service was ok, but the restaurant itself needed a little better upkeep. I got a burger (no bun) and fries and a margarita. We also ordered chips and salsa. I would not go back bc of the poor service and overall look of the restaurant( dirty bathrooms, no A/C, etc)

If you have a soy allergy as well as gluten avoid. They do not understand. We discussed extensively and they still covered my hamburger plate with fries that had been cooked in soy. I drank my tea while my husband are his meal. Disappointing.

I love Margaritaville. The food is excellent, and they even have a dedicated GF fryer, so I am able to eat fries!! Lots of good GF choices. The waitstaff is very considerate. They aren't allowed to bring GF food out on the same tray as the regular food. It is always kept separate. There aren't a lot of safe GF places to eat in the Riverwalk, so I actually ate here twice. Plus, the music is good too!!

They no longer have a dedicated fryer, so stay away from fries, chips etc. Had southwest salad with grilled chicken along with a few margaritas. Nima tested negative and did not get sick.

The waitress knew what celiac disease was and she assured me the fries are cooked in a separate fryer. The buns tasted like Udi’s but I didn’t confirm. Meal was good. Menu is clearly labeled.

Ate there twice while in San Antonio. This is one the Rive Walk. I was leery since one had reviewed it, but with a dedicated fryer, it was worth a shot. Spoke to the cook, both times, and was assured my food would be gf. They even brought my food out separately! I have the ‘Cheeseburger in Paradise’ without the bun, but it was still delicious. They do have a dedicated fryer, & the fries were yummy! Just be sure to speak with the cook, and note the wheat symbol on the menu for the gf options. ❤

I asked if they have dedicated fryer, chef came out and said he did for fries, and made sweet potato waffle fries for me in that fryer. They made sure we were taken care of!

We got there about 3pm, but still waited for a table for 8 people. Our server was nice. Gluten free items were marked on the menu, but there weren't many choices besides salad and burgers. I got the volcano nachos and a side of fries because they had a separate fryer. I asked if the chili on the nachos was gluten free, and the server said it was. The nachos were tasty, but huge, and the fries were perfect. Nothing was marked from the kitchen, so I had to confirm with the food runner that my fries were gluten free. Made me nervous, but I didn't have any reactions.

Very fun environment at Pigeon Forge location. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten and we felt very comfortable. Gluten free items marked on menu. Fair variety but seemed like more burgers, fries, salads type place. We usually avoid appetizers because not many options at places, but they had huge table size GF nacho appetizer. My GF daughter loved it! We couldn’t even finish them all! Separate fryer and really liked the fries. Would go back if had the option.

Good food. Items are marked. Waitress was not knowledgeable on procedures for preparing food and food was not marked coming out. It makes me nervous as a celiac patient but we were on vacation and this a good stop.

Had a bunless burger (they do have GF buns but I just prefer it without) Waitress informed me the fries were gluten free and have a dedicated fryer. I did have a reaction to something. The fries did have seasoning on them. All plates came out the same and at the same time making me nervous from the start.

We ate here during our day exploring Key West. My daughter with Celiac’s disease got the kids cheeseburger in paradise with fries. The server was very knowledgeable about food allergies. When our meal was brought out there was a ticket with my daughter’s meal to show that they had prepared the meal gluten free. This was a first for us and we appreciate the attention to detail. She enjoyed her meal and did not get sick.
