Fish City Grill

This place has a great GF and GFO menu, but staff don’t know to serve CD guests. I asked for the GF menu, and my waiter brought me the same menu. I looked it up on their website and it was significantly different. That was concerning. I ordered for a gluten allergy and the waiter didn’t write down orders, for a party of six, which was concerning. A different waiter brought me my plate and it had hush puppies on it. I told him that wasn’t my order because I have a gluten allergy and he told me to just pick them off. I sent it back fearful that would happen in the kitchen. I eventually did get the correct order short a side, which I ate and didn’t feel immediately sick. So I think I might have gotten lucky, except I’m bloated and can’t sleep now.

They have a gf menu that has a variety of options on it. The staff seemed very knowledgeable on dealing with food allergies. I am also dairy free, so they were still able to were still willing to work with me. I ordered the grilled salmon with capers, steamed broccolini and balsamic green beans. The food was delicious. The manager came by confirmed the allergies and had the cook use a clean pan. I will definitely visit when we are back in town.

The peel-and-eat shrimp were fresh and tasted excellent. I also had a Cobb salad with grilled chicken breast. The salad was just ok, and the grilled chicken was too salty and I didn’t like the seasoning. I did not have a gluten reaction

This is one my favorite fish restaurants, blackened fish rocks. It is a lively place although you won’t get faster service/food anywhere. The are turning tables quick, which I like, in/out less than 30 minutes unless there is a wait to get a table.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I really enjoyed my dish, but my husband's dish was kind of puny. I hit a huge seafood platter though that cost $34.99, but it was a really big meal. The waitress was only so so on her knowledge of gluten free food safety and prep, but they did have a real nice gluten free menu with a lot of options. I didn't feel restricted like with a lot of restaurants.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu. The grilled shrimp is so good!

Not a lot of choices but the salmon, quinoa, kale salad was extremely good! So was the vanilla ice cream. Would love to see more dessert options in the future too!

Gluten free menu, nice selection. I enjoyed the Grilled Chicken with Andouille Sausage over Red Beans and Rice with a side of April Cider Cole Slaw. Everything was delicious.

Good selection, with many options to get grilled or blackened seafood, instead of fried. We've eaten here for years, and it's nice to find that they have a gf menu! Like the other review says, it can be noisy, if you don't go during off hours. That's just the style of place. There's a well-stocked bar on one side of the restaurant with multiple screens, almost invariably showing sports.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food but don't plan on having a conversation if they're busy: noisy

Fish City Grill Waco has nailed it! They have a GF menu and the waiter was very knowledgeable about my celiac and needing GF items and with cross contamination. The food and drinks were delicious. We had Oysters on the half shell, then I had the Salmon with white rice and spinach it was delicious. The Clam chowder is also amazing!

They have a gluten friendly menu. Ordered the clam chowder and grilled shrimp. Had it twice without getting sick.

The food was good, but I got sick.

Fish City had been our weekly go-to for 9 years. Only recently one of us has found a gluten sensitivity. They have some GF options and a separate GF menu upon request.

We are thrilled to find the Salmon Kale & Quinoa salad is also GF! It’s a favorite!
