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!“

“I tried Taste of Heaven for the first time at the Nebraska Enterprise Fund's Juneteenth celebration. I had the catfish and it was wonderful! Some else had catfish and ribs and said they were both great. After you order they give you "pager" the lights up when your food is ready. That was great as I was able to walk around and enjoy the event while waiting.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing steaks, seafood, and service!“

“Great organization with amazing leadership. Omaha is lucky to have OPA!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!“

“Noah was amazing, amazing food and drinks“

“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“While staying in downtown Omaha, my husband and I walked from Hotel Indigo to Block 16 and quickly understood why there was a crowd both outside and inside when we arrived around 6:00 PM.

We ordered at the counter and found the process easy and efficient. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. We especially appreciated being told about free refills and being checked on to ensure we were enjoying our meal and overall experience.

We shared a grilled cheese sandwich and the Funky Fungi Fries. Both were outstanding. The flavors were distinct, creative, and clearly intentional. The portions were generous enough for a hungry individual but also worked perfectly for sharing between two people, which is exactly what we did.

What impressed us most was how well everything came together. Despite the restaurant being busy, the food quality, service, and overall experience never seemed to suffer.

Block 16 is an easy recommendation for anyone visiting Omaha. Great food, friendly staff, generous portions, and a restaurant that clearly understands why people keep coming back.“

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

“Excellent food, service, price, and selection!! One of my new favorites; local, quaint, delicious.“

“It was a little bit of a wait, but totally worth it! Tommy was our host and he did a phenomenal job sitting us. I was seeking out about Guy Fieri after watching him for years, so naturally Tommy provided us the best table for an amazing experience.

Once seated, Esther took our orders and provided great service, listened to our requests, and worked hard to meet our needs!

My friend and I both had the Bacon Mac and Cheese Burger. I have had burgers that hit your gut with grease and leave you feeling yucky, this one was not the case. Not only was it delicious, but well balanced. The crispy onion frills added the much needed texture to compliment the thin pickles, refreshing lettuce, and cheesy mess of a burger. The fry trio - french fries, twisted seasoned wedges, and waffle fries - was something I haven't seen before but thoroughly loved. We split the brookie for dessert and have no complaints.

100% recommend this burger and place for anyone else who enjoys watching Guy Fieri! Just be aware you may be waiting a while for your food.“

“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 ☺️“

“Burgers were amazing! cool.place“

“Service and food were both exceptional. Best tomato bisque I've ever had. When I didn't like my cocktail, my waiter asked me what my favorite drink is and then brought it to me free of charge. Food came out fast, but they weren't especially busy. Some jazzy muzak in the background that is innocuous. All said and done, I'd come again.“

“Our group of sports enthusiast have been spending a lot of time at 3rd Base lately, especially during March Madness. Tonight was great, Hailey stayed open for us so that we could stay and watch Iowa State Play. The outcome wan't the best but, once a fan, always a fan. Love the new remodel, the food is always hot and really good. They never miss a beat when it comes to taking care of us. Mary P, thank you for always helping to get us set up. Hailey, you were fantastic tonight THANK YOU! I would highly recommend this business.“

“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.“

“Came into town for the Omaha Zoo and looked up places with karaoke and Kikkers popped up! Darts boards, Touchtunes (before karaoke), pool tables and cheap drinks and slot machines! What more do you need? Definitely will be back! Oh and we had the chicken tenders and house made chips and both were SO good!“

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

“Best food in Council Bluffs!!“

“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“

“Stopped in around 08:30 wednesday morning, traveling back from Memorial Day. Had expected it to be busier, but I suppose regular business had kicked in enough, so we were immediately seated and served. Servers (we had Lucy) were great. The kitchen crushed it. I score pretty harshly on biscuits & gravy coming from rural living, and it was still great. My girlfriend's strawberry pancakes were also stellar. During our visit, several regulars were greeted by servers, and it's easy to understand why. Strongly recommend supporting a local shop, especially when they deserve it!“

“Nothing but good things to say! Always stop by whenever I’m downtown. Deviled eggs are unique, unlike any I’ve ever tried but a most favorite of mine from the menu“

“Great restaurant great food good people love going there.“

“Delicious food. Great atmosphere. One of Omaha's hidden gems.“

“The service is always good and I love your tuna melt! I could literally eat it everyday! Highly recommend!“

“Jude, He was our waiter; he was incredibly attentive and provided us amazing, AMAZING service.
I was amazed, especially since he is only in his first week there, God, he did an incredible job!
Very attentive, respectful, and professional.“
