There are so many amazing GF dishes/options!! I’m so happy Bellagreen came to San Antonio, as I visited them in Houston and the food was incredible.
Their breakfast on the weekends was delicious and I got the GF LEMON POPPYSEED pancakes! My boyfriend has been ordering pancakes from every breakfast place since he was a child and he said these are by far his favorite pancakes yet.
The atmosphere is modern and stunning. Such a clean and contemporary establishment. The staff was so friendly and helpful. It’s a must try!
This is an amazing place. They have a dedicated fryer, amazing desserts and the service was great. The hostess was Zillah and she was so welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. We had spicy shrimp pasta, the fish tacos, cauliflower wings and pumpkin pie cheesecake. Everything was delicious.
Love this fresh, new bistro! Most of the menu is GF or can be made GF. The fryer is not cross-contaminated, so anything fried is truly GF. Of course I had to take advantage of the opportunity and get some sweet potato fries! Even GF pumpkin cheesecake with a coconut crust that was delicious. Everyone there was so friendly and incredibly helpful and considerate. Definitely go check this place out!
We had such a great experience here. I ordered the fried fish tacos and the cauliflower wings. We had a hilarious experience when I sent my husband to the counter to ask if they had tartar sauce for the tacos (the sauce that came with them was good but I’m from Seattle and pregnant so the craving for fish with tartar sauce was strong š) and the girl working the counter didn’t know what tartar was š¤Ŗ she asked the chef who again questioned “tar-tar?!” lol it gave us a good laugh. Anyway, the cauliflower wings were saucy and delicious and paired so well with the mango ranch. And the tacos had lots of flavor and satisfied my craving. They had really yummy house made sodas too, which have been an infrequent treat during my pregnancy. Overall it was so nice to feel safe eating everything we ordered! I wish we had one in Washington, it would be a huge hit here.
New spotin San Antonio, although well established in Houston. Great gluten free options. Staff very educated and eager to help.
Bella Green is hands down the best gf restaurant for celiacs in terms of variety and safety of their food! I go at least twice a month and have been to many of their locations. 100% recommend this place for celiacs and anyone on a gluten free diet. Please just be aware that NOT ALL of their menu items are gluten free but it’s easy to distinguish and feel comfortable with what you’re eating.
Bella Green definitely is a hit or miss kind of restaurant. They have so much potential but they really don’t understand cross contamination tactics. I’ve watched the staff not change gloves and handle pizza and then handle GF desserts. So disappointing. My friend went to the same location the same day I did and we both got contaminated. Not worth it!
I was happy to see many gf choices. The seasonal board included a delicious salmon, pineapple bowl with Hawaiian bbq sauce. We also enjoyed the lime cheesecake (avocado and coconut). The crust was crunchy and filling had great flavor. My plate had a gluten free card that was reassuring. Two friends who don’t need gf also enjoyed their meals.
I've eaten a lot from Bellagreen over the years and had flawless celiac success even with delivery orders. Until, I recently got cross-contact gluten: it was a busy lunch time, I ordered and informed the clerk of my allergen. She verified the GF marked seasonal item contained GF ingredients by looking at a reference form. She did NOT type my allergen information in as they typically do at this restaurant. My food was brought out with my friend's pizza, I noticed the waitress set down the pizza plate, then moved that same bare hand to set down my plate. I assumed this was the only contact and later was careful not to use that portion of the plate. In hindsight, I should have stopped it all here.
Something else abnormal was the lack of little allergen flags on the plate which this restaurant uses to communicate & also no mention of the allergen as the food was placed.
I went and asked to speak to a manager — turns out it was the same person who took my order. I explained all the discrepancies I noticed vs my usual experience here as a celiac. She said she did not type my allergen in because she verbally told the kitchen staff. She said they are out of the little flags but assured me my meal was safe because it comes out of a box, I'm not sure what that means besides now realizing it signaled her lack of awareness of contamination potentials after something is plated. She was good at reassuring me I was safe & I chose to trust her.
Afterwards, I had cross-contamination symptoms and no other risky meals. I still get plenty sick from this and I will no longer eat at this location & going forward I'll refuse to eat when a place like this has someone not performing the typical steps.
This is my go to when I’m being lazy and need a safe place to order Door Dash from. It’s a great place to go to as well. I feel really safe eating from them. There are so many options. It’s a pleaser for my whole family. I’m the only one with celiac. Their burgers use high quality 44 Farms beef. Everything fried is safe. They have nice healthy options too.
A favorite go-to place of ours. Great value and delicious gluten free options. Inexpensive for tasty filling food. All pastas are gluten free. Burger buns can be swapped in for gf, and they give a little slip marking it gluten free which is extra reassuring.
Used to LOVE eating here but ordered tonight and was given a gluten full bun on my burger. I called to make sure it was gluten free, person on the phone said it was. I called back, the manager remade it and it was a completely different bun. Be careful, don’t trust it if it doesn’t look gluten free!
Great food, lots of options.
I love hay their online menu has a filter option for GF items. That made it very easy to browse the menu and find what I could have, without having to look at all that I couldn’t have.
I offered the French fries and fish tacos. Both were so good. They do the fries right, not everyone does. And the fish tacos were stuffed full had this spicy sauce that I really enjoyed.
They also have outdoor seating available, which we also enjoyed.
I would definitely return.
My family loves Bella! From the lemon poppyseed pancakes, to some of the best burgers in North Texas, to the chicken salad sandwich (don't sleep on this one - it's very flavorful), the cooks don't miss. Every item we've tried has been flavorful and cooked well. Peter runs this location like a well oiled machine. The workers are friendly, and it's clean. I redeem rewards through the app often, and we've never been sick. I will say that the only item I've not cared for is the GF pizza. It lacked depth of flavor, and the sauce/cheese didn't hit for me. Everything else has been a win!
We stopped by at Bellagreen on our way to Houston and were simply amazed at how knowledgeable the staff is on food allergies. My celiac kiddo enjoyed Pulled Chicken Tacos, spicy shrimp pasta and the delicious carrot cake . Food is awesome and so is the ambience. No reaction afterwards and we even stopped by to eat here on our way back from Houston.
I love this place so much they catered my god-d*** wedding. Pizzas are good, pastas are amazing, I would try anything they made honestly. Also it’s a lovely place to sit, my husband and I came here early in our relationship and come every time we are in Dallas we just adore it. ššš

You cannot say enough about Bellagreen. Every time we come to Houston, which is about every 8 to 12 weeks we go here sometimes w 3 visits.. The location on Alabama near upper Kirby is outstanding. Outdoor seating, a happy hour to die for half off. Wines and other selections half
off appetizer is just great. The hempannadas are delicious and well worth going back for. Their salads are great and good size. Their entries are well prepared with good selections. . As far as gluten free dairy free, Whatever you need, you, tell them they will work with you on it
and get it done. The staff here at this location is outstanding and always at work with us. Don't miss out on this all the other raving you see are true. We've had to be gluten free for over twelve years and to find a location like this or any options that we wish it was close to our home.
