There is no seafood on the current menu; it is carp, catfish and walleye.

Plank has, unfortunately, announced they will be closing at the end of 2025, and while I did enjoy…read moresome of their food offerings, I can't say I'm super surprised. They definitely have/had some pretty high prices compared to other eateries in the area. I'm not sure if that is caused by cost of goods or location or what, but I think that did come into play when a lot of economic hardship is happening all over. Like I mentioned above, I DID like their food, but it definitely had to be a special occasion type of thing, due to the high prices. When we did go, I LOVED the Maryland Crab Dip. It reminded me of my favorite crab dip in the world, at the SweetWater Brewing Company in Atlanta. We also had the Green Bean Almandine that was on special last time we went and that was pretty good, but you have to be a green bean fan, for sure. I decided to try the sushi as my main dish last time, and had the Everything Crunch Maki, which consisted of cooked salmon, jalapeño, and cream cheese. It was pretty good, and had a little hint of spice to it from the jalapeño, which cut the heavy cream aspect. My husband had the Grilled Atlantic Salmon for his entree, and gave me a few bites. It was cooked well and the mushroom risotto below it was very flavorful and filling. The cute nautical ambiance and excellent service were always appreciated, so no complaints there either. I think if they had been in a different area with less expensive rent and cost of goods, I may have visited more often.

Plank Provisions was a complete homerun -- my favorite meal in Omaha, and likely my favorite meal I…read morehave had all summer. This spot was right by the hotel in Old Market, and we were early enough to get right in and grab a nice table (during happy hour, no less). The vibes are clean, nautical without being cheesy, and bright. The service was equally bright and helpful, and everything was flowing. On a super hot day, I had a Tom Collin's that was great and refreshing. Our group shared calamari with a top tier dipping sauce, an "aji verde" sauce that was new to me but I would buy it by the pint. We also shared their truffle fries and the side of mustard aioli was great as well. Best fries in a while. For my main, I got the blackened Mississippi catfish that was served over dirty rice, green beans, tomatoes, and a crawfish beurre blanc. It was as good as it sounds, I ate every bite on the plate. Okay, so let's recap: Amazing location? Check. Great service? Check. Good specials/happy hour? Check. Great food? Major check. Hard to top, I'll go here everytime I'm in the area and it was hard not to go back twice.

I stopped in for dinner about an hour before closing. The owner is a friend of a friend and I…read morepromised to stop in the next time I spent time in Lincoln for work. The food is OUTSTANDING and pretty much made to order. This means you should take your time while you're here. But the food is worth any wait! I ordered Cajun Alfredo with chicken. The owner came back and confirmed I get up to 2 meats so I added sausage as well. The flavor is perfect and not overly spicy. Not only did I get a large portion, but it also came with a side!! He recommended the greens and they did not disappoint. Do be cautious of you order greens though, I did pull out some bones from my portion, which only solidifies to me that they were done right. And the cornbread was also just as flavorful as the rest of the meal. When cornbread is done right, it could be a delicacy. Definitely plan to return and try other items on the menu any time I'm in town. If you like Creole and Cajun cuisine, this is an excellent spot.

Most of us ordered the special which included a pound of crab, shrimp, corn, potatoe and an egg. You can pick your sauce and spicy level. There's also no spice for my peeps who can't handle the heat. The seafood was cooked perfectly and the sauce is tasty. I ordered the house special which is a combination of all of their sauces. The Asian in me has to order rice with this everytime lol. My toddler enjoyed the chicken nuggets, but there were also fish sticks and chicken tenders on the kids menu. Ambiance is casual, there's a good amount of seating.

She can eat a steak if it is juicy and hot, and it was. My usual order is the full order of Walley, but I changed it up this visit.

If you're looking for an outstanding seafood experience, UNITY Seafood Grill & Bar is a must-visit!…read moreThe seafood boil was absolutely magnificent--perfectly seasoned, fresh, and packed with incredible flavor. The menu offers an excellent variety, from authentic Asian-inspired dishes to delicious Cajun specialties, so there's something for everyone. The full-service bar is a great addition, and the beautiful atmosphere reminds me of the famous Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, creating a fun and relaxing dining experience. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the staff. Everyone was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and extra courteous, making us feel appreciated from the moment we arrived. To top it all off, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and generous portions. I highly recommend UNITY Seafood Grill & Bar to anyone who loves great seafood, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

It had 1/2 lb of shrimp, 1/2 lb of crab legs, and 1 piece of lobster tail. It also comes with 2 corn, 2 potatoes, and 1 egg. There are multiple different spices and spice levels you can choose from. I chose the garlic butter Old Bay with medium spice. I loved this spice combination; it was very seasoned, just the way I like it. My husband got the exact same thing but added 1/2 lbs sausage to it and chose the lemon pepper with medium spice and was extremely happy with it. We will definitely be back.

And for $20 some dollars I'd expect some meat. What meat that I found was tender and was seasoned good. I could not place the seasoning. My only issue with the meat was it all looked the same except for the shrimp. 3 whole pieces of shrimp. My wife's meal (can't remember the name as it wasn't memorable) was ok. So much sauce it was swimming. Again so much onion I wonder if they own stock in onions ?? The staff is friendly. They really are. Just no sense of urgency. Slow and methodical. Only thing that was fast that I seen was the margarita machine. Those came out like clockwork. And it's the first thing you see when you walk in. It's a small bar although not sure you could site there anymore as it's full of stuff. It's just an odd setup and an odd experience.

It was every bit as good as I had hoped. Shuck's knows seafood--and they know how to make dining fun. From their lively, engaging servers to their inviting atmosphere and unique menu offerings, everything comes together to create a memorable experience. Most importantly, the quality of the food consistently shines through. My wife and I ordered the Deep South Risotto, a delicious combination of fresh shrimp, Andouille sausage, and green beans tossed in a spicy, creamy risotto. We also enjoyed the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl, featuring perfectly cooked teriyaki-glazed salmon served over a blend of brown rice and red quinoa with tender sautéed broccoli. Paired with Shuck's famously ice-cold draft beer, these excellent entrées made for the perfect lunch before heading over to Big Ten Baseball at Charles Schwab Field Omaha. If you're visiting Omaha and find yourself downtown, make time for Shuck's Fish House & Oyster Bar. Great seafood, great atmosphere, and great service--you won't be disappointed.

Highly recommend sitting at the bar as that just added to the experience for us.

While not the best I've had, it was definitely good and I would go again! I wish I had gotten to try some rolls, but went purely with nigiri and sashimi this time around as I think that's the true tell of quality for a sushi restaurant. Favorites of the night were the tenzushi (sweet shrimp), hamapon (hamachi sashimi) and the uni. The Hama toast is really popular here but I wasn't expecting the bread to be soft - I think if it would have been crunchy instead then I would have loved it. The service and hospitality were outstanding - our server was kind enough to gift us the ume hirame to try and it was one of our favorites of the night. The shisho with the fluke made such a clean and refreshing bite. The chef also shared his chu-toro from his private dinner the night before and it was delicious as well. Don't skip their drinks either - the ube drink was so good that I had to order it again.
