We know GF because we are GF!
On safety—100% scratch kitchen menu, no flour is used in any recipe as an ingredient. GF noodle options for all pasta dishes, and GF buns available for dawgs and burgers. All breading is gluten free and uses no flour. 3 out of the 4 fryers are dedicated gluten free, one fryer sees gluten when pasta noodles are fried (Mac and cheese bites for example).

One of our owners is diagnosed with celiac and has lived the GF life. If you or a loved one has celiac or other food based disease or illness, you know dining out with friends and families or trying to catch the big game quickly becomes more challenging than inspiring. We opened First Round in 2023 with the mission to deliver exceptional food in a fun, relaxed atmosphere, where every sports fan can enjoy full access to a diverse, scratch kitchen GF menu! In addition to the GF menu, First Round offers vegan and vegetarian items as well as a house made non-dairy cheese for customers looking for for lactose free foods! From the quinoa power bowls to our house made cashew cheese, no other sports bar focuses on healthy food options like First Round! Come see for yourself!

Staff were very knowledgeable and asked the chefs if they were unsure. I had the GF fried mushrooms and GF wings with lemon pepper seasoning. All food was delicious! When we dined there it looked like they were serving a limited menu thus nothing was marked GF but our server reassured us anything on the menu could be made GF. Never got sick!

The wings and Mac bites were delicious. The fries were a bit spicy but so yummy. I appreciated having a safe place to get fried wings for the first time in years.

Review
They were very celiac friendly as practically the entire menu was gluten free. I ordered the chili cheese dog and the chili was cold and flavorless and the hot dog was burnt; the fries were good. Good environment and nice atmosphere but at least on my visit the food was not up to par for the $15 price tag on a hot dog.

Review
They told me they are a flourless restraunt which made me so excited! My favorite was the Mac and cheese bites and can't wait for more. They did say they occasionally get glutinous buns and fry some items in their only fryer that they use for gluten items. I can't confidently say that it's a dedicated gluten free facility.

Review
One of the best gluten free meals I’ve ever had! We got the Mac and cheese bites, chicken parm sandwich and chicken tenders. I would order the Mac and cheese bites and chicken tenders again for sure! It seems like almost everything in the menu can be made gluten free. We tried to order an apple pie turnover and our server told us that they are still working on getting turnovers made gluten free.
Our server was awesome and the food was so so good!

When I asked the waiter what I could eat as a celiac, he said “everything”. I was so excited, there were so many options! The fried Mac and cheese bites and chicken tenders were so good. And the uncrustables were gluten free too!! 100% recommend this.

Delicious!! And I could have almost everything on the menu! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The chicken strips are HUGE and very yummy! The 4 of us got the 12 piece to share and had leftovers to bring home. We will definitely be coming here again on our next trip to Omaha!

Excellent gluten free options. Fried chicken sandwich with gluten free bun, excellent. Egg rolls, chicken wings, and more. There is no white flour in the kitchen. All gluten buns are not made in house.
