What I can say!!!! OMG delicious!!!! Stared with calamari, fish and potato cakes. All gluten free great flavor and absolutely delicious. No vinegar needed!!! Most of the menu can be made Gluten free. Dedicated Fryer.
Great place to eat. They have a lot of gluten free options. Anything they fry has an option for gluten free breading. They even have gluten free bread for their po boy sandwiches.

I was a little skeptical but definitely listen when people say this is a must not miss! Just wanted to say a huge thanks to all the great tips and ideas here for eating GF in Omaha. We visited from Iowa all last week and had amazing food. Sharing the details for anyone else planning a trip soon:
I had the shucks puppies (they weren't marked but confirmed they can do basically anything fried gf) and fish and chips. It was outstanding, even my gluten eating bf loved it! Would definitely go back next time we are coming through town
A great find! We saw this reviewed and decided to try it. The fried fish and baby cakes ( potato rounds) were delicious! The coleslaw was good, too! Lots of gf options to choose from. They have great staff, are very careful, and mark your food with a gf skewer. We will be back!
Amazing food with knowledgeable staff! Gluten free food comes out of the kitchen with a little gluten free sign so you don’t have to question it. They have a separate fryer too. Everything was delicious, we will be coming back.
Very knowledgeable and careful about cross contamination - lots of delicious fried/breaded options!
According to the manager, everything that is fried in this restaurant is gluten free. They do not fry anything that has gluten in it. They are the most knowledgeable about Celiac and cross contamination of any other place in Omaha. They are very careful to make sure things are correct and not cross contaminate. I have eaten here many times and never gotten sick. I am Celiac and very sensitive to cross contamination. I would recommend the calamari and the lobster sandwich!
This place is amazing! I got the gluten free fried shrimp as an appetizer and the chicken and chips for my meal. My tummy is happy and so am I. It was all delicious and my picky 2 year old even ate a bunch of shrimp and some of her dad’s Haddock. Lots of gluten free options and they’re even fried!
Tried out this place when in Omaha for our daughter, she LOVED it! Had a great time!
Excellent fish and chips. Friendly service. You might want to mention that your order is GF, so it doesn’t go into the wrong fryer.
best place for gluten-free in Omaha! Owners wife has celiac so almost everything is gluten-free and everything is marked on the menu. Breading on the fish is already gluten free, and they have gluten free buns for the sandwiches. Only downside is they don’t do reservations and it can get busy in the evenings
I am Celiac and loved the food here. I ordered for pickup twice while in town. The cheeseburger was so delicious I came back again. Very safe and yummy. Thanks so much!!
This place was amazing. Great tasting food and good service. The have GF Calamari and it was fantastic. Overall a phenomenal place.
Amazing. As far as we are from any body of water, this food is delicious. The batter is all GF, light, thin, and crisp while not holding a bunch of oil. The risotto was also super flavorful. Definitely a gem to find a place with GF calamari.
Had the catfish. Very good. Our server was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and very pleasant.
The food was amazing! I had the fried calamari and the Cajun shrimp risotto with bread. None of it tasted gluten free but it was! No reaction at all from the food! They were all so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The chef even came out to talk to us about the menu!
Absolutely amazing. No reaction after eating here. Phenomenal food and they have a dedicated fryer. Truly impressed.
I used to LOVE this place. Everything breaded in cornmeal! Cool! BUT the fries have changed and I believe they’re BREADED. COATED IN BATTER. I don’t think it’s cornmeal either. I got so sick the last couple times and the serves brush it off and cut you off stating “it’s gluten free” won’t even answer questions. I’m a server/bartender. I would never do this.
This place is amazing!! All of their fried foods are GF. And the seafood was fresh. The fried clam strips and Icelandic Haddock were great!!
The staff is amazing, and the food is incredible!!!! I have celiac and feel very safe eating here!!
I asked for the gluten free meal when I ordered and said I have celiac disease. The Cole slaw came marked with a GF stick. My fried fish and baby cakes were fantastic. Sadly I had a reaction. Not sure of the culprit.
I must say that this was definitely the best stop we decided to make,during our cross country trip!!
I have multiple gastro issues.,including Celiac disease.
Almost everything is done gluten free and absolutely delicious.
I got the pollock fish and tots and my daughter got jambalaya,both exceptional!!
This is well worth getting off the highway for!
While I’m not celiac my partner is and he says: “Very knowledgeable staff, eclectic and fun. Wonderfully racially mixed clientele. Fun pub-like atmosphere. Both squid and shrimp were fresh and excellent!!” And I agree…
I was almost in tears when I saw all the GF options. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!
Wynn was our waitress. She was awesome. We were so well taken care of and felt very confident about food safety. She was very knowledgeable about gluten free and made it effortless. My celiac daughter had calamari, catfish fingers, French fries. I highly recommend coming here. Huge portions and great food. Most everything can be done gluten free. They have a dedicated fryer.
By far the best GF restaurant I found so far. Many options, friendly staff. Going back tomorrow!
My daughters were do excited to eat fried shrimp and calamari! Staff very knowledgeable about celiac, have a dedicated fryer, and were also extremely friendly and courteous!
Oh my goodness!! When I say the food tasted so good I thought I was “glutened” … it’s not an understatement! Shucks really out did themselves when it comes to their gluten free options! We the BREADED crispy shrimp, BREADED fish and chips and a BREADED spicy shrimp po’ boy! All of the food was fantastic and it was most definitely gluten free! No problems here at all! All of the food came out with little wooden skewer flags to alert the staff it was GF. Seriously, 10 of 10 stars AMAZING
Absolutely amazing fried fish, fries, shrimp, oysters... the salmon is incredible. Educated staff!
Ordered fish and chips with shrimp appetizer. Waitress was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions without me even needing to ask her. Food tasted great, dedicated fry yes and no. Everything they fry is gluten free so they don’t need a separate fryer. She explained it’s all made with corn starch and they have someone come and certify their kitchen. They also have gluten free buns. If you want gluten free fried fish, shrimp, fries, or hash Browns. Then this is the place to eat!
My go to is Fish and Chips, but the Burger and Fries are delicious too! Meals marked gluten free from the kitchen.
Our server was so helpful and knowledgeable when I asked a ton of questions about making my meal gluten dairy and soy free. It came out perfectly and was so tasty! Highly recommend!
Nice hole in the wall seafood place and bar. Gluten free menu! First time in a long time I could have fries calamari and “shucks” puppies! Reasonably priced. Check it out.
The staff was great, very knowledgeable. Some dishes that we got (we are all gf due to celiac) were a po boy, risotto, and fish and chips! Amazing!!
The food here was amazing! I can’t believe it took me so long to finally try it, but I’ll for sure be a regular now. The fried calamari and fried shrimp poboy were excellent. The roll they used for the sandwiches is one of the best GF rolls I’ve had, I even had my husband try a piece and he said it tasted like his gluten roll. I can’t wait to try the lobster roll and fish and chips! Plus it’s very affordable for seafood. We both got our meals, an appetizer, and hard cider/beer and our tab was $43 before the tip. Highly recommend.
Edit: I ended up getting glutened last time I ate at this location. I’m going to keep my original rating because I’ve eaten at this location several times and never had an issue, but personally I’ve been sticking to the pacific location since then.
They have a dedicated fryer, the best seafood in town, and attentive staff. We've been there so many times now that the staff automatically grab the GF menu for me. I've never once gotten sick from eating here and I've never had a bad meal either. If I could give them 6 stars I would!
So nice to have multiple options at a seafood restaurant! I was finally able to get a lobster roll somewhere! The food is amazing and the safe is super friendly!
Always so good!! My favorite place in Omaha. The calamari is not to be missed!
Stopped here for lunch on the way to catch a flight at Eppley Airfield. The gluten free menu at this location had a more limited selection than the one listed online, but it was great to eat fish and chips again, and the food was delicious! I have Celiac, and did not get sick after eating here. The neighborhood looked a bit sketchy, though.
I have eaten at all 3 locations so many times- amazing, delicious, satisfies all my fried food fantasies. Even non-fried items: fish, vegetables, alcohol...so good.
