Lone Star Cafe

Based in other reviews my hubby and I went here for lunch. (No allergies for him) I asked our waiter if the fried catfish was gluten free and he looked at me like I was speaking another language 🤣…my husband then asked him to check with the chef if it was made using corn meal or wheat flour, thankfully cornmeal (shared fryer though so not safe for celiac). It was very tasty!

I’m giving 4 stars based on our particular server and found it a bit overpriced for the portion sizes. We spent $50 for 2 meals/2 sodas. If you are ok with cross contamination this has tasty options.

This was the best burger with bun I’ve had since getting to San Antonio. There was not a gluten free menu but the waitress was very knowledgeable about what’s they had to accommodate. Great option on Riverwalk!

The staff was helpful in selecting gf items. Did not get sick!

Service was amazing! Server checked twice on foods to see if they were GF. Lots of items to chose from. I just didn’t care for the flavor of the food. That’s the only reason for the 3 star rating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waiter was very knowledgeable! Assured us that no gluten ever touched the grill. He went through the menu to offer suggestions. He even told my husband to not kiss my daughter after he served him his chicken fried steak. Too funny! My daughter loved the ribs! - ask for Christian as your waiter

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Beautiful fluffy gluten free buns and BBQ sauce to have with brisket sandwich. Staff were great and at finding out for me from kitchen what was safe for me to eat. Were happy to swap out fires for potato salad due to cross contamination with fryer.

Gf buns and chef was helpful with the decisions.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chicken wings were good, so was the steak. No gf menu. Server was nice but unsure of how safe. Gf bun available.

Although they do not have a gf menu, the kitchen manager. Charlie came out and spoke with me and helped me figure out what I could eat!! He even ran downstairs and got me some corn chips that were safe.
