“This is a Great Restaurant with delicious home prepared food, excellent quality all around. So Glad we have it it the Council Bluffs area and its open 7 days a week, so if your looking for really good eats on Sunday (when everything else is closed), this is the place! Love it.“

“The wings are awesome and the owners are super sweet especially Marcie(sorry if misspelled)! We’ll definitely be back!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting for the first time for brunch today, and I can confidently say the service was amazing! 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!“

“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!“

“Awesome food and even awesomer staff :-). We love this place. I don’t have anything negative to say about it.“

“Whoever said customer service is gone has not worked with general manager Roland!! He was absolutely amazing! Despite it being a very busy evening, he saved the day when I booked the wrong date in Open table for 14 people!!! Instead of turning us away (like he had every right to do!) he went out of his way to come up with a creative solution and seat us! I cannot say enough about the extra mile this man went to help me!!! And then to top it all off the food and service were amazing! They have some fun multicourse options as well as anything else you could imagine. My son said the scallops were the best he had ever had!“

“Food was great 👍 service was great 👍“

Chef salad 🥗 and chicken salad are very good also, bbq sauce is amazing, plus it’s nice when you walk in and I hear hi Patty lol what’s that tell ya 😀 ❤️ me some Buck Snort!!!!!“

“Great food and atmosphere but needs work on handling large crowds for events. Tonight my fiance and I had a wild experience lol. Arrived knowing we would wait, was quoted 30 min to 1 hour. Agreed and took a seat at the bar for drinks, table was available within the 30 min time frame which was great. Was seated and didn’t see a server for 35 minutes, we expected a wait and wasn’t too bothered at this point over it. Once the server came over to us he said he thought we were being taken care of already since I had a drink from the bar. We brushed it off and placed our drinks and food order at that time. My food came out within 5 minutes and we were pretty stunned with how quick that came considering how packed it was. Now, after 10 min of him not getting his order and we also didn’t have our drinks we looked around to find someone to ask. I called out to the server and the manager several times, but didn’t succeed in grabbing their attention and fiance didn’t want me to get up and find someone. 40 minutes after my food arrived the server came up to us and I asked about his food and our drinks. I said well just take our bill and a to go box for mine. He did bring out my fiancés order and removed it from the bill. We understand it’s not entirely the servers fault but overall we were pretty bummed since we do enjoy this spot for the atmosphere and the food has always been good. A few other tables also were saying they had similar experiences tonight and also just wanted their bills as well.“

“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.“

“it's great food tastes good and waitress was good also“

“I’ve never had a bad experience here. Food is amazing. Every time I stop in o ask for recommendations and have never been let down by the staff’s choices. If you haven’t eaten here, you’re missing out“

“Came to Omaha for a conference and it was within walking distance to my hotel. The bartender recommended a good beer 🍺 and the Tipsy Cuban sandwich 🥪 which were both good. Nice local pub to get a burger and a beer.“

“Kids asked Dad where he would like to go on Father’s Day. I said Tusseys. We were not disappointed. Excellent food, clean surroundings, great staff. Tusseys is 5 Star with me!“

“This was our first experience at Dynamite and we were floored! We know Omaha quite well and really love the dining scene, so eating at the hotel isn't always our first choice. However, we had stayed previously at The Farnham and told ourselves next time we were staying there we would eat "in-house". We were glad we did. We have a great friend who lives in Omaha and he met us for dinner as well and we were all super impressed with everything - the menu, the service, the ambiance....outstanding! Do not miss this restaurant if you're stay at the hotel or just live in Omaha!“

“Can't go wrong with any of the breakfast skillets. My hubby had the ham and I had the bacon with English muffins. Always great food. Great service. Only the one server guy running his side of restaurant. Have a little patience, if it's just him. He does a good job?“

“Always great food, one of the best places downtown!“

“food and atmosphere where great. wonderful creative combo. not a cheap place but food and service were worth it.“

“Amazing steaks, seafood, and service!“

“This is the best thing Omaha has going in food. The owner levels the playing field for all food businesses in Omaha to have a chance to grow. Pay is in line with output. Every ethnicity of food an taste is able to utilize this space and thrive. Kudos Omahas lunches are better because Dandelion is here.“

“Kristin is so great to work with. Her communication was on point every time I contacted her and she also reached out to me several times to ensure everything was in place for my order. The cake we ordered was perfect and tasted delicious! I highly recommend Kristin for any occasion!“

“We had our rehearsal dinner at Jams Old Market in downtown Omaha. We were able to rent the Loft 204 upstairs for our event. My husband and I loved the venue from the very beginning! The exposed brick walls, the privacy for our event, and the ability to see where we got engaged were all big aspects we were looking for! The bartender was amazing. The food was even better! It truly felt like a dream come true from the moment we walked through the door. Jams was accommodating for our littles and provide our family with a delicious meal the night before our wedding day. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who is looking for a private and intimate venue and wants their loved ones to feel like royalty!“

“The staff is always awesome. The chicken fried steak was the worst food I’ve eaten in years. No idea what the deal is just burnt, over cooked , and 0 seasoning . How do you mess up fried chicken? Anyway the girls out front are always awesome. Breakfast this morning was great the dinner was horrible“

“To post a sign to make it ok to STEAL customer's money is insane! Time Out must be in "survival mode" and on its last leg! I havent dawn that door in over 10 years and now that I KNOW they steal money, I definitely never will!“

“This was a delightful addition to seeing a performance at the Holland! the service was good and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. The portion sizes were perfect and filling, while note needing a to-go bag since we were heading upstairs for the show. It was the perfect way to enhance our performance night out!! Definitely will be making reservations again soon!“

“Can’t say enough good things about The Boiler Room! Such a beautiful, intimate environment with the friendliest servers and unbelievably talented staff. The presentation of each plate is like a piece of art. The chef and team’s food is some of the most mouthwatering, flavorful food you will ever eat!! Definitely a hidden gem in downtown Omaha. Can’t wait to go back again!!“

“Chrys is the best barista I’ve ever met I’ve been to a lot of independent coffee houses and this was by far the best experience I’ve had. 10/10 will be back ☺️“

“The food here is to die for. I've not found something that isn't top notch. Their serving of poutine style fries are also huge and a meal in of themselves. As a side note I love their cuts of a potato picture.

Kid-friendliness: I did see that they had high chairs.“

“We ate there for my sons after wedding dinner, phenomenal food and service at a fantastic price.“

“My daughter and I had dinner before going to the Orpheum. It was our first time . The atmosphere was great and the food was amazing.! Also very affordable.“

“Today was our 4th trip to Culvers. The meal we had was delicious. They have the softest pretzels and hot cheese I have ever had. I was really disappointed though with the raspberry malt. it looked like a chocolate malt instead of a raspberry one. I took a swallow and got a big mouth full of malt flavor. topped off with big chunks of raspberry. it might have been good if it was one of the cement drinks. I called back and told the worker what had happened, he said bring it back and we'll make a new one. Thank you for your kindness sir. I would definitely recommend Culvers to anyone“

“Wow! We stopped here on a whim when trying to find a place to eat outside of the Henry Doorly Zoo. And I have to say, it was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time (I got the guacamole bacon burger). It was HUGE and tasted so good, and the fries were good as well.

We ate right outside the front door since there were some tables and chairs along the sidewalk. The service was excellent, and we’ll definitely come back again when visiting the area. There’s a cool mural on the back side of the building too. Parking is a little tight. It’s less than 5 minutes driving from the zoo.“

“We had a French cuisine prepared by one of their Culinary School students and a pastry chef student it was amazing!“

“Best food in Council Bluffs!!“

“Great group of individuals. The best in the IOWA.“

“excellent food. huge portions. Great service and atmosphere. price was about 15 dollars per person plus tip. Great prices. deff new go to place.“

“The daily specials are always good and a great value.“

“Amazing Food, so flavorful. Don't let the mix match ingredients scare you, everything works so well together. ???

? Smoked Shotgun Shells - Crazy Bold Amazing flavor - Manicotti Pasta Shells wrapped in Bacon sausage, cheese topped with Bourbon Brown-Sugar BBQ sauce

? Pulled Pork Tacos - so many great floavors coming together (try the "ranch" with it to die for garlic aioli)

? Philly Cheese-Steak Egg Rolls - so flavorful

? Buffalo & Hot Honey Garlic Wings?

Service was OUTSTANDING. Bridget so wonderful to have as our server, definitely Top 10 servers ever and we've eaten all over the US from dives to lots of fine dining. Highly recommend asking for her ?“

“Gluten free and vegan cheeses, a rare combo for folks like me with a gluten and a dairy allergy. Pretty awesome pizza every time, and I haven't gotten sick yet. Simple yet clean and friendly sports bar type vibe, great spot.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free. Dairy free.“

“First time dining here. We had a good experience!
They have free bread for appetizers and the food came out fairly quickly. I got the mashed potato, sirloin, corn and Caesar salad. My partner got the ribeye, Mac and cheese, sprouts and a drink (as I type this I realize this was a lot lol). They ended up giving us a free dessert because they insisted the wait was longer than expected which was super nice of them. All in all the bill came to about $60.“

“I don’t know how I went 26 years living in Omaha and only now did I make my way to Harold’s. I have been majorly missing out. Everything on the menu is amazing, especially the chorizo, pancakes and eggs. I have to go back for a donut very soon. The price is also totally affordable! Highly recommend to everyone who likes a solid comfort breakfast.“
