Gluten-Free at Fish City Grill

Went for a birthday dinner, items are marked online in a separate menu but it's not available there. At least it was never offered to me despite me asking about the food being gluten free. They said they had a gf shrimp dish and brought a fried breaded dish, then remade it. Got the clam chowder that was marked as gluten free online. It was not, my stomach hurt afterwards. This place is possibly fine if you don't have celiac. I would not go again, plus the food wasn't even very good. It felt like I was eating somewhere cold and lifeless, it's just has bland decor.

They have a gluten-free menu. I usually order grilled fish or a burger (they do have gf buns) and I’m able to get my meal dairy free too. I get the fries, they are not breaded and gluten, but I do think they are in a shared fryer. I have not gotten sick.

They had a pretty large selection of gluten free items. I selected the scallops and bacon wrapped shrimp with spinach and green beans for my sides. It was delicious and safe. I felt fine afterwards. Only criticism would be that the service and food was very slow, even though it was not a busy time for them.

They have a gluten sensitive menu. Crystal took great care of us! She was able to answer all my questions. It was our first time so we got a sampler. I was only able to eat the clam chowder from it. I got the shrimp tacos and they were delish! No reaction afterwards. We will definitely be going back!

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!

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!

Ate her 2 days ago. Waitress was knowledgeable about celiac and made me feel confident food was safe. I went with peel and eat shrimp and steamed broccoli and didn’t get sick although it was a little tasteless and needed salt. They can can do tastier things but I didn’t want to take a chance on the first day of vacation.

Gluten free menu choices. Our waiter was accommodating and passed along the word to the kitchen that daughter has celiac. When husband ordered gluten containing item for himself our waiter caught it and cautioned which was appreciated. Ordered the salmon from GF menu and it was delish.

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.

Explained to waiter that I had severe allergy to wheat, ie..celiac disease. Great experience, food was fantastic. They have a good size gluten free menu. No dedicated fryer. Had Blackened pick two with oysters and shrimp. Tasty and fresh! Come with Cole slaw and black beans and rice. Also clam chowder was wonderful and fresh. Totally felt safe with covid regulations.

Super amazing food. I was out of town and used the find me

Very friendly staff they have a gluten free menu. If you have questions, the waitress will try to find an answer for you. If she’s unable to, the manager will come out and answer them. I will definitely be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF menu available, just ask. I had clam chowder (that tasted like great clam chowder) and the Cobb salad with grilled shrimp. Meal was enjoyable and I did not have any reactions. We will be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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 appreciate the dedicated and full gluten free menu. Staff is always very friendly too

Amazing food! Knowledgeable staff! Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu is delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Are here last night and it was awesome. They have a gluten free menu and understood the importance of cross contamination. I split the crab legs and peel and eat shrimp platter with my husband and it was filling and excellent.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the clam chowder and miso glazed California sea bass. It was excellent!

Gluten free menu. Good selection. The roumalade & clam chowder are gf!

Have eaten there several times with no issues. It is a place I feel comfortable eating out as a Celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten at this location twice now. Staff are well educated, or at least know to ask for a manager if they aren’t 100%. Some items on the gf menu have higher chance of CC than others, so do your due diligence and ask questions. I’ve had the clam chowder both times and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a separate GF menu, most soups except gumbo are thickened with corn starch and not a roux, and the waiter was very friendly and helpful in checking with the chef about everything. I’d give this place 5/5 for good food and good service, but I got sick about an hour later. I don’t want to say it was definitely their food; I’m not sure. But if you are very sensitive I’d say go here with caution, ask lots of questions, and remind them about anything that could be questionable.

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
