Reata Restaurant

Reata Restaurant stands out in Fort Worth with its robust gluten-free menu and a kitchen that takes dietary needs seriously—think melt-in-your-mouth tenderloin tamales, jalapeño cheddar grits, and those legendary bacon-wrapped crab-stuffed jalapeños. The separate gluten-free menu, coupled with knowledgeable servers and the option for gluten-free bread, makes you feel genuinely seen (and safe) as a celiac diner. However, the absence of a dedicated fryer and some mixed experiences around server consistency mean you’ll want to communicate your needs clearly—don’t be shy about reminding staff you’re celiac. For the most part, though, Reata offers a rare Texas dining experience where you can actually relax, savor bold flavors, and not just make do with a salad.
