Great way to see a movie. Favorites are BBQ Chicken Pizza with side salad and real buttered popcorn. Servers are always so friendly. Wonderful experience.

I've gotten served wheat THREE times. It's a great atmosphere, and love the concept, but serving supposed "gluten-free" food, in the dark, is a bad idea in general. The last go round, my hatch chili fries had a few chicken nuggets at the bottom of the pan! Not lying. The managers have always been very nice when the episodes have happened in past, but the truth is my life (I'm Epipen allergic to wheat) depends on their adherence to strict standards in their kitchen to keep their customers safe. Thus far, even after alerting the manager to my cross-contamination on other visits, I repeatedly have been exposed. So, again, great movies- life-threatening, (in my case) lax attention, to serving gluten-free!

I love the Drafthouse! The pizzas are outstanding, and they have gluten free buns for burgers/sandwiches. The staff is friendly and helpful, and are willing to sub. A GF bun in place of gluten items for many gluten menu items. As a bonus, there are plenty of naturally GF foods on the menu, like their loaded French fries and their chips and queso. The food is delicious and I love the array of options!

Here are the "bonus" nuggets at the bottom of my "gluten free" fries. Scary!
Beware- Chicken Nuggets in my Fries- Hard to See in the Dark!

I love this place! The gluten free pizza crust is very good and their pizzas are so unique. My server was knowledgable about which beers are gluten free. I would definitely recommend this!

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.
