About
Family-run, celiac-owned, unmistakably Ukee
A small snack shack on Peninsula Road with one big idea: nobody should have to sit out the good stuff.
Our story
Built by a celiac, for the whole table
Ukee Snack Shack is owned by a celiac and run by family — and that shapes everything about how the kitchen works. Eating gluten-free usually means asking a dozen questions and settling for whatever is left. Here, it means ordering the burger, the fries and the soft-serve, just like everyone else.
To make that possible, the shack keeps a dedicated fryer and a dedicated toaster for gluten-free food, and 90% of the menu is gluten-free. Most items can be made gluten-free on request, and the black-bean burger can be made vegan.
We are at 1627 Peninsula Rd in Ucluelet, on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island — and we are open year-round, through surf season and storm-watching season alike.
What we stand for
The shack in three promises
Safe for celiacs
Celiac-owned, with a dedicated fryer and toaster — listed on The Celiac Scene’s Vancouver Island safe-fries list (October 2026).
Family-run
A family business serving locals and road-trippers alike — the kind of place where the owners are the ones cooking.
Open year-round
Summer crowds or winter storms, the shack stays open — Tuesday to Saturday, all year long.
