“Mike came and made quite the impression at my daughter's grad party. Everyone RAVED about the food, even went back for 2nds, and many even took another meal home. Super kind, personable (they remembered families names!), and were told it was the best grad party many had ever been to. My neices even want them to be at all her parties. Highly highly recommend!!!!”

“10/10 recommend having dinner here. The atmosphere, the service, the food - all on point! Our server Ashlynn was phenomenal and made our dinner so special! The food was absolutely amazing. Everyone should save room for the Baked Alaska!”

“It's really, really good. Plenty of options and all those options are fantastic (at least the ones I've tried). Definitely worth stopping in.”

“OMG good! Wonderful and unique cocktails. Super chill vibe and well appointed venue. We will be back!!!”

“That was completely unexpected and just DELICIOUS. We went on a Saturday evening based on fantastic Google reviews and they were NOT WRONG! Mexican street food with global influences. Elote corn, Ramen Fries, Asado and Chilango Burrito. The Chilango burrito was the front runner but everything was soo flavorful. It isb ocated on the north side of the strip mall on the northwest side of 50th and L. It is not easily visible from the street. They apparently will be expanding into the next bay. It is very casual (order at the counter) but very clean. It is easily accessible with only a threshold and a swinging door. We spent $40 for 2 apps, two entrees, a soda and a beer. If I thought I could eat more food and live, I would have gotten the Tres Leches Cake. Strongly recommend!”

Our waitress was phenomenal—I'm so sorry I don’t remember your name, but I truly owe you more for making the experience so memorable. Highly, highly recommend this place! The food was absolutely astronomical, and the drinks were perfect. The coffee was out of this world, too—hands down the best meal I've had in a long time. The overall atmosphere was so comfy, cozy, and relaxed—it’s the perfect spot to unwind. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Best ice cream I've ever had! Possibly even better than the gelato I've had in Italy! Do your mouth a favour and get some!”

“This is the best restaurant in the city. Each topping on the vegetarian platter is better than the last. The Ethiopian spiced tea is absolutely incredible too & so comforting.”

“This was my first experience with crumble. I went this week to the Dubai Chocolate brownie. It was understandably packed as everyone else was there for the same thing. I thought the employees handled themselves well and were still polite despite how busy and overwhelmed they seemed.”

“Me and my sister attended Galentine’s Night at Coffee Alley and we loved it. We really enjoyed our experience here and the affordable pricing was worth it!”

“Ordered the seafood platter, hush puppies, lobster and shrimp pasta. Everything was so tasty! Hush puppies were basically fried jalapeño cornbread balls and perfectly crunchy and fluffy. High quality seafood. I highly recommend this place.”

“Absolutely delicious meal and excellent service! The bread was fabulous! I had the scallops and my hubs had the tenderloin. DELICIOUS and such a nice romantic atmosphere. Cocktails were amazing too!”

“My husband and I went to CB for a concert and I searched for a fun, cute, local place to eat. So glad I found the Porch! We had DELICIOUS food and loved the atmosphere. I love all things vintage so I especially enjoyed that each table had different salt and pepper shakers, most of which were true vintage. The plates our meals came on reminded me of dinner at my great grandma’s house.. which is a good thing!…and I noticed everyone had different plates, too. So fun! Absolutely love a good down-home feeling place. 10/10 will return!”

“highly recommend the pappardelle w/ mushroom ragu as well as the catfish, the onion rings, and the hushpuppies. the staff were welcoming, friendly, & attentive. They gave excellent suggestions. We decided we wanted to immediately go home, sell our house, and move to Omaha so that we could become Dirty Birds regulars.”

“Best Ramen in Omaha hands down!! Make sure you try their Thai Tea 🍜🧋🙌🏼🔥”

“Celebrated my birthday here this year . The Hunter duckling was fabulous! Tender and crispy . Very large portion as well. I would definitely return”

“I’ve been to Dave’s hot chicken a few times, and I’ve loved it each visit. The restaurant is usually always busy, and you can expect to wait 20+ minutes for your food any given day. However, I recommend this restaurant still due to the great food they have there. The chicken is cooked perfectly with the best blend of spices and sauce. Come hungry, because you will get your money’s worth of food.”

“Stopped on a whim for boba and was not disappointed! Super friendly, amazing boba, and such a cute and calm environment! Will absolutely be back.”

“My wife and I were in town for the "Beyond Van Gogh" exhibit at the Mid-America Center. Afterward, we looked up restaurants near us and chose La Sierra because several reviews mentioned authentic cuisine. We were not misled. The menu is small and straight forward. Pick your fillings and choose it in either a gordita, burrito, quesadilla or on a plate. We both got selections as gorditas. My wife ordered: Asado De Puerco, Picadillo Verde and Picadillo Rojo. I ordered: Papas Con Carne, Papas Con Chorizo and Deshabrada. I also wound up getting a burrito with Machaca. All the meats were seasoned nicely and delicious. Both the verde and rojo salsas they brought out enhanced the food. The rojo does have a kick (same sauce as in the Desshbrada) but the heat didn't linger so eating it was enjoyable. The margarita I ordered was delicious, made with real lime juice. Some people might complain because it is regular sized, served in a glass roughly the size of a martini glass. It isn't a gigantic gimmick you find in a lot of American-Mexican restaurants. It hit the spot! The fruit empanadas were lovely, the crust similar to a sugar cookie with strawberry or apricot. We tried both and thought the apricot won by a hair. Its sweet flavor was slightly stronger than the strawberry. The service was excellent, both our server and the gentleman from the kitchen (maybe owner) who brought out food to the table were extremely friendly and a pleasure to speak with. We've marked La Sierra in our "must do again" list and when we care back in Omaha, we will be stopping in.”

“We took my sister there on Tuesday. All our meals were delicious and huge!! We shouldn’t have eaten it all, but we did.”

“Went on a Friday afternoon and got sat really quickly. The service was amazing; James went above and beyond. Very personable and knowledgeable, and kept us updated on our orders. Made me feel right at home. Great place for dinner. Oh and food was delicious. Shout out the the chefs as well :)”
