Guy Fieri’s Chicken Guy! lands in OMA’s rebuilt terminal
Guy Fieri’s Chicken Guy! is on the list for Eppley Airfield’s terminal expansion, bringing a branded chicken tenders spot instead of another generic fast-food counter. It’s slated for the new North/South terminal layout, tied to the Build OMA modernization project that runs into the late‑2020s. That means you’re not eating here yet, but it’s worth penciling in if you route through OMA once the new post‑security concourses open.
At other airports, Chicken Guy! runs a simple play: crispy tenders, fried or grilled, plus a long sauce lineup and chicken sandwiches usually in the USD $8–$12 range. Expect fries and soft drinks priced like typical airport quick‑service, not dollar‑menu cheap. The OMA version should sit past security in the new terminal, so plan it as a gate‑area meal, not a pre‑TSA stop. Until opening dates firm up on BuildOMA.com and airport announcements, treat it as “future option,” not a locked‑in plan.
Menus at existing Chicken Guy! locations lean into sauces with 15+ options, from mild ranch‑style to hotter blends; that pattern likely carries into Omaha once the kitchen is running. Portions at other airports usually mean 3‑ to 5‑tender combos, enough for a quick 15‑minute bite between flights. With Guy Fieri’s name over the door, expect a louder aesthetic than the standard OMA food court, plus the usual branded merch and sauce names on the boards.
No local reviews exist yet at OMA because doors haven’t opened, so there’s nothing concrete on speed, portion size, or cleanliness at this specific build. Until travelers start posting data points, treat it like any new terminal spot: first month may bring longer waits at peak banks of departures, especially early‑morning and 4–7 p.m. rushes. Tip: when it finally shows up on the terminal map, check your gate in North vs South and confirm which concourse it sits in before banking on chicken between tight connections.
