“Jonesys has the absolute greatest tacos ever. I drive clear cross Omaha to this location just to get some amazing service and food every single time. Thank you so much to the team, the entire team, for all that they do. Amazing place. Highly recommend them.”

“Catered my daughter's graduation party and the food was fantastic! Service was super friendly and went out of their way to accommodate everyone's requests. A lot of people at the party raved to me about the food. So glad we had them cater and highly recommend for anyone looking for food ideas.”

“The best place in Omaha for Art Deco, a 1930's vibe and a fantastic meal. Quiet and cozy, professional staff and soft jazzy music from the period all adds to a top shelf dining experience.”

“The pizza was good and very filling. It took awhile but we didn't mind waiting. He was very accommodating and set up a table for us so we could sit on the bences to eat.”

“This place is a two decade, staple for my wife and I. Although we haven’t lived in Omaha for over eight years, we return and enjoy this place whenever possible. Last night we had another incredible and memorable meal here with great service in the low light, low ceiling, Intimate atmosphere of this nooked-in French-influenced restaurant. Every portion of our meal was amazing, and it may seem unfair to say, but although we spent quite a bit of money on this meal, the six dollar bread service might’ve been the best part of the whole thing. The goat, fat, infused, perfectly crusted and warm bread withsalted butter would push me right into a diabetic coma if it was more relatively available. The Wagyu beef with their famous brandy peppercorn sauce remains one of the best steaks for my pallet anywhere in the country. We will continue to return.”

“The atmosphere was fun, the employee owned personnel was AmaZing!! So helpful going over the menu, making recommendations, super friendly & Thankful. The meals served were delicious & looked very appealing great food! Nothing here will disappoint you. Great Job Y'all!!! Thank you. People, get the fried Oreos!!”

“We ordered the birria and Korean carnitas street tacos, elote tots, and the birria torta. We also got an aqua Fresca and a Pacifico beer. Our total was only $40 which is very reasonable. The food was really good, nothing mind blowing, but I loved all the different options they have. It seems to be mostly a blend of Mexican and Asian cuisine. It’s nice they have alcohol there if you want a couple beers, but their mango aqua Fresca was delicious! The elote tots were really good too! I did think the tacos and birria torta could have used more seasoning, slightly bland. But for the price and amount of food we got, I would say it was a good value. Very unique menu that I haven’t seen in Omaha!”

“A wonderful place to eat. We all had the fried ice cream and it was delicious. The wait staff is very pleasant. The actual food is terrific, I had to deep fried mushrooms and they were spectacular. Others at my table had the onion rings, the burgers, and the chicken tenders. Everybody enjoyed their meal. I highly recommend Stella's.Parking: Great handicap parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchair accessible.”

“This is some of the best Chinese I've had in years and so friendly and kind as well! We asked for our general chicken extra spicy as we do most places but they actually delivered ! Everything else was amazing as well. These eggs rolls are delicious as heck. We will definitely be back !”

“The ABSOLUTE best ice cream place in Omaha, Nebraska located in black stone! Amazing service & phenomenal ice cream! All of their flavors are so spot on & super creamy! The waffle cone is homemade and super crispy! Pairs perfectly with their ice cream. Their popular flavor is the blackstone butterbrickle! I personally love their birthday cake (not featured when I went) & the Grandma Minnie's lemon bar ! The small chunks of the lemon bar is absolutely fabulous! It was my first time trying the key lime pie, it was great, super tarty & creamy at the same time! I personally would say it is something that could get overwhelming with how tarty it is, but super subjective! I love how Coneflower supports local businesses such as Archetype Coffee (right across the street) and uses their coffee to make their ice cream version of it & it's one of my go to's!! If you're a coffee lover, do not skip on this! Coneflower is always so busy - long line but it won't take forever until it's your turn! Employees work quickly & always encourage you to try new flavors! The layout is very limited. Some seating on the inside with about 3 round tables to accommodate 2-5 individuals to one table. Outside there are 2 bench areas to fit 4 people per table! Snag a table while you can, otherwise you may be lucky to find a bend near the store front on your right when walking out!”

“quaint place. cmon people let's support this business! many choices & varieties of coffee & other drinks! spacious bay with many tables, games, & books. nice & quiet too. So don't forget to stop here for your coffee fix!!!!!”

“Super cute restaurant with a nice ambiance. The pizza is excellent with unique flavors. The dessert we tried was the citrus & cream and was one of the best I have had in recent memory. Highly recommend giving them a try.”

“We had the loveliest experience at Yoshitomo. The menu is expansive and nothing we tried disappointed. We tried something from every section of the menu and it left us adequately full and delighted! I don’t remember our waiter’s name, but he was the best and gave excellent recommendations :)”

“What a fun addition to Downtown Omaha! Memoir is hip, modern, and swanky all wrapped into one gorgeous restaurant. Even better than the design and decorations is their food. With a diverse and sophisticated menu everything from drinks to appetizers to entrees and beyond is delicious. The Memoir Dip au Jus was tender delicious and quite possibly the best one we have had. Their pasta and potatoes puffs were excellent and full of flavor. You cannot go wrong with anything you choose. Our waitress, Tammy, was excellent and quick to give us some great recommendations. All the staff was delightful and made us feel welcomed! I had heard that this is some of the best food in Omaha and I couldn't agree more!”

“The food is amazing! I can't bring myself to eat anywhere else when we drive to Omaha. The staff is friendly and well trained. I see people complaining about the menu not always being available when the head chef isn't there. I see that as a true example of how passionate these guys are about their food, they won't even prepare a dish unless they know it will be perfect! 5 Stars! Best restaurant in Omaha.”

“Had my son's 7th birthday here and it was amazing! The staff were so helpful and accommodating with any changes. We weren't rushed out and everyone had a good time playing all the different games. The drink choices are yummy amd endless!”

“Incredible. Totally worth it. Plenty of classic flavors and originals. Handmade waffle cones and friendly staff. Absolutely a great experience every time. Only con is the price (minimum $5) but it is worth it! I highly recommend the grandma millie lemon bar flavor.”

“Best Mediterranean I’ve had in Omaha so far. Fantastic meat rice and pita, the king sauce was a little weird and ranch like but it was pretty good. I think I would have preferred tahini. Rice pudding was also very good.”

“The coffee was delicious and had an incredible depth of flavor. She provided some snacks for our tasting and told us the whole process and the traditions behind the coffee ceremony. She has a full breakfast menu, all kinds of fun coffee drinks and smoothies and the atmosphere is very cozy. 10/10 recommend!”

“Absolutely love this place. I have lived all over the US and this place is the BEST! John provides the very best customer service and the food is absolute delicious!! I will be back very soon! Thank you John for all that you do!”

“Wonderfully unique experience. Space had a nice ambience and a lot of eye catching artifacts. Ordered quick but wasn't expecting the length of wait time for the food. However, the time went fast, the hush puppies were delivered quicker so we noshed while waiting. The food was delivered HOT (temp) and was exceptional moist and savory. The syrup had a nuance of sassafras to make it very tasty paired well with the thick Brie blackberry pancakes. The chicken was incredibly moist and flavorful, crispy with a few salt crystals sprinkled on. #DDD”

“Fantastic brewery and tasting room in Little Bohemia. It's very bright and I love the exposed brick walls. They have a unique and ever changing beer, making for an adventure every time. They just added a little wine bar in the b ack room and I am so excited to try it out. It's right on 13th street so parking is available on each side of the street. Affordable, locally made, draws. Definitely a must stop if you're going out for a bevvy.”

“Brought my coworkers for a holiday celebration last night. As always everything was spot on. The drinks were outstanding and everyone loved their meal I didn’t have room for dessert but i ate it anyway. Impecable service. Thanks so much for a memorable evening!!”

“Best ice cream I have ever had!All of it is homemade and there are always multiple special flavors!It is incredibly cheap for how good it is.I would recommend this to anyone.”

“Crumbl hits the mark more than misses it, granted it feels as though some of the lineups lately have been less than inspired, so that’s why this review is at a 4”

“Seven One Two . We can't rate them high enough. Food, service and overall quality are excellent. Details below. To start off, I'm in a wheelchair. Most places that are accessible will watch my wife struggle to get through the door or a customer will help. Not the case here. My wife was about to grab for the door and one of the staff was right there, with a smile. We were seated immediately, out of the way, but not hidden in the corner. Our server, Sheree, was awesome. She answered our questions and explained the specials. She returned appropriately fast to take our order. Being about 2/3 full, I was expecting a bit of a wait, but our drinks were brought out quickly. The food is excellent. Expect it to be what the menu says it will be, not what you want or think it might be. We had the crab cakes for our appetizer. It had a good amount of crab and not all bread crumbs. My wife had the peach flatbread. Exactly what the menu said it would be and delicious. I had the beef stroganoff. After a little hiccup, it was as ordered and very yummy. We were disappointed that we didn't have room for a dessert, but we will make sure to leave room in the future. When we were leaving, 2 staff members were headed to open the door for us. Checking out their Facebook page, we will be back for the wine and flatbread special soon.”

“I was lucky to find a spot at the bar. Service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy. They had a nice sake selection. Great menu with lots of variety. The “Itchy Seabass” was amazing! Really liked the Godzilla Bomb. Seating inside and out with lots of space, and a cool decor. Definitely worth checking out.”

“Had asked for some recommendations on the best wings in town and was told to check it out here. Amazingly enough, they were correct and the wings were amazing. The fries were some of the best we have had in some time. Save your money and don't do the lettuce wraps as they had no favoring along with little to no chicken in them. It was a busy night and with one large table, you couldn't hear anything when they were talking, but thankfully, as soon as they left, we could talk without screaming at each other. Sadly, our server didn't appear to be happy with our table as she continued to check on the table next to ours and completely forgot about us until it was time to give us the check. The other younger server not only brought us out our food but also got us refills as our lady didn't came back. Will be back and make sure we are in the other servers table next time.”

“Olsen's made us 25 dozen kolaches for a party we hosted, and we got all flavors offered. They were a huge hit, numerous guests asked where they came from, and I will certainly be using Olsen's Bake Shop for future events. Thanks for your help!”

“I’ve only been here three times while passing through Omaha on travels, there’s no other coffee shop in Omaha I’ll go to other than Howlin Hounds! Excellent service and top notch coffee at a great price. I’ve ordered for myself, my wife, and my son, and each drink was made to perfection! I just wish I had more excuses to travel to Omaha for a cup.”
