“We went for the crab leg buffet last night, but the line was too long. So we decided to give this beautiful restaurant a try. I'm so glad we did! My husband and I got the Crab fondue appetizers, the 16 ounce (!) Ribeye, a side of mashed potatoes, a side of Brussel sprouts and a slice of carrot cake for dessert....for under $100! Everything was delicious! I will be dreaming of that steak! It was cooked perfectly and the crust on the outside? Chef's kiss! The side dish portions are huge!

Give this place a try! You won't be disappointed!“

“Nothing but good stuff to say about my visit here on Christmas day! Bartenders/servers were on point. The takeaway here is you can eat and drink here for a reasonable price. Inflation hasn't hit here. It for sure is a rum club you will find something you like. Food is a lot of Hawaiian but it's damn good. Try this place“

“I love Martini's & this place was on my list for my bday on 12/15 - yes I know its not open on Sun, so my plan was to go on Sat the 14th. Weather interfered w ice storm on Fri 13th, so Sat night was super packed & i wasn't able to even get in....no biggie, went to Roxxy n had a blast! Fast forward to my bff coming out from NY n here for Christmas n we decided to go out on 12/28 n try again & yay we were able to finally get in! The place is so elegant n beautiful & has a very classy comfortable feeling to it - I knew I would 💜 it! At the bar talking about my quest n fail of trying to come here for my bday a few weeks ago, sitting next to me was the bar manager Carmen - she said she'd buy me a shot n I was like "oh cool", I never saw it so thought she was just being nice n a totally forgot n I thought 'its ok, no biggie"....then I go to pay my bill & turns out she picked up my 1st round of drinks - so extremely super sweet of her & I appreciated that n her so much. Huge THANK YOU to her & bartender Sophia for making my visit w my bff rock & an awesome experience!“

“Very friendly staff, a pleasant atmosphere, but there is no food here.

If you just want to switch off, relax, and hang out, this is a perfect option. It’s also open until 2 AM, which is pretty rare for Omaha. Overall, I definitely recommend it.☺️🙌“

“Love this place! Truly is cozy and laid back. An Omaha hidden gem 🤘🏾“

“What a hidden gem. We’ve had the best time every time we’ve visited. The staff and food are amazing and we love sitting at the bar on Rat Pack jazz nights. Zach behind the bar is such a sweetheart and we request to sit there every time. I can’t say enough great things about the food, atmosphere and staff.“

The atmosphere is total vibes, whether you go on an afternoon with a laptop, a weekend for the dj, or evening for darts and drinks, GR is always the spot to go for the ultimate experience. Matt is so knowledgeable that if you don't know what you want, with a few questions he gives you the most delicious beverage ever -
ALL the bartenders are like that, very talented, super knowledgeable, and always delicious.
Forever recommend 10/10“

“Fun atmosphere & the Best bartenders 😉“

“I have visited True American with some regularity since they opened and have always had a good experience. The menu has diverse and innovative cocktail offerings and the staff are great. I'm convinced the negative reviews are trolls sent by competing local dives.“

“My husband and I were there the 23rd. Very welcoming greeting got a table immediately. The server(she) was delightful and promoted. The decor is outstanding. We loved it!“

“I would like to get busy a thumbs up 110% went there on Valentine's Day night they texted me I came back after I was there and couldn't get in I sat next to a wonderful absolutely wonderful girl named Allie we talked for hours and give me a ride home and I just had the most wonderful time for being a Valentine's Day and not having a boyfriend I didn't need one I don't need one but I made a new friend named Allie from Beatrice and I am so pleased and happy for that and hopefully things will pan out as friendship can subside and thank you busy for everything you have done and do for me when I do come there I really appreciate it and I tried to put good reviews for you guys anything I could do for you you tell me and vice versa thank you again“

“We hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Saro Cider Lounge, and it could not have been more perfect! Everyone raved about the spiced apple cider—it was the hit of the night—and the space itself is just stunning: cozy, rustic-vintage, and effortlessly charming.

From start to finish, the customer service was exceptional. Brooklyn was an absolute joy to work with—responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our event special. She went above and beyond in every way, ensuring everything ran smoothly and beautifully.

If you’re looking for a reliable, inviting, and family-friendly venue that still feels elevated and unique, don’t hesitate for a second—book Saro Cider. We can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“The customer service…outstanding! From the host that greeted us and ushered us in, to the cocktail waitress we had the pleasure of being served by, AMAZING. I cannot recommend a better drink atmosphere.“

“Extensive whiskey and scotch menu.“

“Noah was amazing, amazing food and drinks“

“We showed up a little after midnight, so we got there a little late for the live music & the crowd had died down; there were only 5 other people there. The atmosphere and pricing seem fine, but the bartender used cranberry juice in my tequila sunrise instead of grenadine, so my drink was way funky..I probably won’t make it a point to come back.“

“cool place!!! nice atmosphere!“

“Cute place with plenty of seating. We were able to make a reservation online and get right in with two adults and a high chair. The waitress we had was very friendly and did a great job answering any questions and explaining the menu. We had the crab rangoons, everything smoked salmon, and 3 sushi rolls…all were delicious. We both really enjoyed our drinks as well. I would return!“

“Our owner is new to town and asked where to find the best burger in Omaha. Without hesitation, we recommended Dinker’s Bar & Grill. He loaded up the whole team and took us to lunch and it did not disappoint. The burgers were outstanding, the atmosphere was classic and welcoming, and the service was great. Dinker’s absolutely lives up to its reputation. If you’re looking for one of the best burgers in town, this is the place.“

“Kind staff. Friendly and fun atmosphere. Great place!“

“Sky and Cody made my birthday feel so special. I had a personalized birthday card at my lane when we arrived! Everyone was extremely attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is beautiful which adds to photo opportunities. 10/10 can’t wait to go back!“

“It was our first time and we enjoyed it alot. The music gave the atmosphere a whole different vibe, it was great. We were there for brunch. The food was very good although it is a bit hectic with the ordering. They messed up my order but it was quickly resolved. There aren't alot of waiters, so you have to fill yourself with patience if anything but at least there is a nice show while you wait. We would return and would recommend.“

“Visited Omaha for the Tyler Childers concert we found Ghost Donkey. Excellent food, service was fantastic, the drinks were amazing. We are already planning a road trip just for GD again. Highly recommended.“

“Pure class. Wonderful staff that are customer service forward. The yummy blueberry lemon mojito was a refreshing choice. Absolutely will invite friends and come back!“

“We had the best time hosting our wedding reception at Revival House in Blackstone! The event staff was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the planning process, which made everything feel so easy and organized.

On the day of the event, we had an open bar and the bar was fully staffed along with waiters throughout the space. Our guests kept commenting on how impressed they were that they never had to wait long for a drink — the staff was truly on top of everything all night.

The venue itself is such a beautiful and unique space. The décor and tiki-inspired vibe made it feel fun, warm, and totally our style. It created such a great atmosphere for celebrating with our friends and family.

Another huge plus is how convenient the location, there’s a parking garage right behind the building, which made things really easy for our guests.

I would absolutely recommend Revival House to anyone looking for a cool, intimate venue for a wedding reception or special event. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate!“

“The staff here was awesome. I did not get the name of the gentleman that sold us the cigars but he was friendly, outgoing, funny. Helped a ton with suggestions and then helped us light our cigars. Then Sara served us drinks at the table and was awesome. Top notch service here and worth checking out.“

“First time in Omaha and my first taste of authentic Greek food. The food was delicious and the cheesecake to die for. Great staff!“

“Pretty chill. Friendly staff“

“Wonderful group experience tonight at Sullivan’s Steakhouse.
We started with our server Oliver’s recommendations; seafood tower, spicy shrimp rolls and Philly cheesesteak rolls, plus a crab cake for the table.
The filet and finishing butter (I had porcini & shallots) was delicious and cooked as ordered. Sides for the table were asparagus, brussel sprouts, lobster macaroni and cheese, and scalloped potatoes.
It’s always a nice meal in a private group room when I visit Omaha.“

“Amazing food. Amazing staff. Had the Traveler's omelette. Perfect balance of spicy and savory. Bacon flight was so good. You must try the smoky bacon jam.“

“Honestly, hands down the best service and staff at any hotel I’ve stayed at in ages. The room was really nice, the amenities were great, and every single staff member I interacted with was outstanding and so kind. We had to shelter in the basement because of tornadoes and the staff went above and beyond, bringing chairs down for everyone, snacks, water bottles, and checking on everyone and keeping us all updated as massive storms went through the area. Next time I need to be in Omaha, I know where I’m staying!“

“Went to Lula’s today for brunch and it was 5-Star fantastic. The Bloody Mary’s are phenomenal! I also had the Breakfast Burrito and French Toast, all were cooked to perfection! Need to get that recipe for their salsa! Our service was great, we had a really good time. Thanks guys!“

“It wasn't even busy but the waitress took forever to get our order because she was too busy socializing and completely forgot about us. Then our food took a long time to come as well.. beautiful restaurant but service is not great and you will be waiting awhile!“

“We’re frequent flyers to the Bellevue location. Always consistent, great food. I recently discovered their enchiladas and can’t get enough. I need the recipe for the red sauce!! Seriously though… it’s delicious. Thanks La Mesa for many, many great meals. 😊“
