For my experience, the service was not good. Had the cheeseburger in paradise on a gluten free bun with a side salad. Bad reaction! I would not recommend for celiacs.
Margaritaville decor and on the River Walk right across from our Marriott. I had the steak salad, no problems. Tried some of the chicken on my husband’s meal and it was good, too. Pricy but it was steak.
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.

Very nice Knowledgeable staff, made my wife very comfortable
Very knowledgeable waitress. Had Nachos and Cheeseburger in paradise. Dedicated fryer for fries. GF bun. No reaction!
I went when the day was slow and our sever was very helpful when I asked questions, they had gf buns.I ordered a chicken sandwich which was so good !
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.
Dedicated fryer. Wait staff did great. Would recommend for all celiacs.
Glad there is a place in the river walk we are absolutely sure about.
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.
Gf hamburger and fries. Gf chips and salsa. Waitress was knowledgeable. Food is just meh.
Good food. Dedicated fryer and informed waiter. Had the grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, Top Shelf margarita and gf brownie sundae. Pricey, but was good and no reaction.
A lot of GF options. Burgers served with GF bred and they have dedicated space to prepare the gf food. It was delicious.
Delicious food. Celiac friendly. I had the bison burger with a gluten free bun and fries. They have a separate fryer for gf. My waitress was knowledgeable. I didn't get sick after eating here.
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.
Being able to have gluten free nachos is amazing!!! Wish I was hungry enough for a burger on gf roll!
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!

Items marked what can be made GF. I ordered nachos and the chips are in a bag, so they’re safe. Server was helpful and consulted with kitchen staff. The fries are made in a dedicated fryer!
I have always wanted to try Margaritaville, mostly for the experience. The experience of the restaurant it’s self is about all that I can really compliment.
The host that sat us was sort of rude (we made reservations and were maybe 5 minutes late due to traffic and us obviously being tourists not knowing the area). Our server definitely either lacked people skills or was just over his job.
There isn’t a whole lot on the menu that’s gluten free. You can either choose a burger or a salad. The food took at least 45 minutes to come out from the time we ordered. My burger was mediocre, with your typical dry and crumbly bun. I had French fries and had no reaction. For the amount of our bill, it definitely wasn’t worth the price food wise.
At least I can say that I had a margarita at Margaritaville 😂 (they’re very skimpy on the alcohol also)
Had the cheeseburger with gluten free bun. Fries are in dedicated frier. Waitress seemed knowledgeable and I did not get sick.
We are here this evening and were very pleased with the dining experience. They have gluten free hamburger buns, dedicated fryers for French fries and some salads marked on the menu that can be made gluten free. We manage multiple food allergies and the manager was very accommodating and took pictures of some food labels so we could read them.
asked the restaurant for a gluten-free burger because I am celiac, and they confirmed it was fine. My family ordered other fried items. When the plates arrived, the chef personally brought mine and assured me it was gluten-free.
About 15 minutes after finishing my meal and leaving the restaurant, I started having severe intestinal pain. I spent the entire following night curled up in agony.
Was it the fries?! Whatever the cause, I won’t be going back.
