New American Restaurants near Bellevue, NE

“Went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Has a great set up outside for smokers and drinking especially during the winter and college game days with a nice fire pit to keep you warm! Inside play some pool, darts, or even small talk with the locals and enjoy the time while drinking!!! Shout out to Papa Chuck and Tiff!!!“

“Dillon, Chris, Sean and their staff did an excellent job preparing my order in no time. It was ready to go as soon as I walked in.“

“Our first trip to Gather couldn’t have gone better. The host, Steve was super accommodating in seating us. I appreciated the table farther away from the majority of the business as it was quieter and more intimate. Our waitress, Cathleen was extremely helpful and super friendly, even giving our oldest daughter individualized attention without being annoying like a lot of servers are when we are trying to enjoy a night out as a family. The brussel sprouts were fantastic. I don’t know if I’ll ever eat them without cranberries again; who would have known. They added such a pop of brightness to the dish. My wife had the pad Thai and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the Wagyu flat iron with Chimichurri, and where so many restaurants fail, they succeeded in having a well-balanced sauce that wasn’t overly acidic and provided a welcomed heat to the dish. Loved the elote corn which was kept warm the entire meal having been served in its own skillet. We also ordered the Mac and cheese which was very good, and even the chicken strips we ordered for our daughter was a shelf above any other restaurant. My daughter loved the donut holes and the birthday cake they prepared, although simple, was surprisingly delicious. They even do the simple things well! By far, the best dessert was the Strawberry-Basil sorbet; such a fresh and delightful way to end the meal. One of the things that stuck out to me most was the attention we got from the manager, Tony. Most of the time you see managers walking around, it feels like they are just “doing their job,” but this guy was bringing food out to customers, checking in with tables, assisting in any way he could, and genuinely looked liked he loved being there. He checked on a few questions we had about the food and he also gave special attention to our daughter which definitely elevated her experience. The service, food, atmosphere and getting to see their Hydroponic garden make this a must visit! Will definitely be back.“

“Picture it. Omaha. 2004. A young couple enjoying a late-evening dinner, on a beautiful patio, at a restaurant in Dundee. She's enjoying the mac n cheese. He, the smoked chicken lasagna. Together, they enjoy three bottles of riesling, one chocolate dessert, and (because why not), a couple of cigars they purchased at a nearby shop. As you can guess, that "he", was ME. Twenty-one years later, I heard about "Ooh De Lally" opening in the same location. I perused the online menu, and was thrilled to see that they serve our favorite dishes from when it was the last place (Mark's Mac n Cheese, and the Smoked Chicken Lasagna). As you can imagine, it was a no-brainer to set up a surprise date night, with that same beautiful lady (now my wife of 19 years), on that same beautiful patio. Her Mark's Mac n Cheese, and my Smoked Chicken Lasagna were even more delicious then we remember. We each enjoyed the same house cocktail, "Tiki Me Away" (Planteray Pineapple Rum, Banana, Orgeat, Lime, Dark Rum Float & Firewater Bitters). For dessert, the love of my life enjoyed the Key Lime Tart, and I jammed on the whiskey bread pudding. Now here's where the restaurant hit the third part of the trifecta (food, atmosphere, & service). Our server, Kristin (aka, The Bob Ross of Sauce) took, what was already a wonderful evening, to a whole new level, with her charisma & personality. And it wasn't just Kristin, the entire staff took care of us and made us feel so welcome. This place is a gem. Patronize it often. Tell your friends about it. Put the word out on social media. Keep this place open. Read about it's mission, and you'll see it's good for the community, and it's good for humanity.“

“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!!“

“Adorable space and delicious! The service was lovely was well. 100% recommend.“

“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!“

“Amazing steaks, seafood, and service!“

“Exactly what Papillion and south Sarpy needed. A top notch chef driven restaurant without having to go into Omaha. My compliments/hats off to the whole staff and management. Great food, great service and great ambiance. We will be returning“

“Chefs Dom & Abraham have a fantastic menu! Highly recommend the momos and loved the mild dipping sauce to go with it. Personally, I have never had such a delicate and flavorful piece of fish until I had the Morro Bay Black Cod. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Had a quick chat with Tony, this guy is an absolute artist! Hoping to see more of him with this delicious breakfast menu he’s got! He definitely got my attention with the fast and affordable breakfast croissant sandwich!! 10/10!“

“Amazing food, good service and comfortable atmosphere“

“Burger was on point I will be back“

“One word, "Spicerita". Get the spicerita! the corned beef hash is amazing and so is the shrimp scampi. You won't be disappointed in this place!“

“My husband and I have been super impressed by the Dell since it reopened last year—amazing craft cocktails, solid beer options, and very elevated pub food that you can tell is made with high quality ingredients. We were last there on NYE for an early dinner and the service and food were top notch. Honestly would choose this over other $100 places, so good! They went above and beyond for us. Hope they can continue to build back up demand—as it is such an incredible atmosphere since the remodel!“

“The food was great a lot of food for the price.“

“Herban has local charm and an aesthetic space where they sell coffee, pastries, and a few sandwich options. You’re surrounded by plants and local goods so it’s a great combination of browsing with a coffee in hand. Highly recommend. They have seasonal specials as well - our favorite is the Maui ☕️“

“Super experience this weekend. We sat at the bar- great service.Delicious recommendation from the bartender and great ambiance. We had an excellent experience from the moment we were greeted until we left.. The menu was tempting to try everything but I settled for the short rib buritto breakfast, artichoke and bacon soup. next time I will try the stuffed popadews.“

“Awesome Experience! At first I wasn’t impressed. My server seemed to be really off, she fumbled her words, had a hard time answering my questions, (maybe she was nervous) etc. I ordered a martini but she brought me something terrible in a rocks glass! We ordered, the salad bar was amazing!!! Fresh and had several choices. Our meal was another story, our waitress got our order wrong. I wanted chicken parmigiana and I got a sandwich?! She did get it corrected but I had to wait longer. At the end of our meal the manager trish came over to offer apologies. She also brought me the martini I originally asked for that she said she made herself. Awesome!! It was delicious!! She was friendly, chatted with us for a moment and deliver our bill. She didn’t even charge me for the drink! We noticed her guiding our server who was then having issues at another table. I would say we won’t be back but Trish really helped turned our opinion around! She’s definitely a manager who cares! We will give it another try and hopefully just get a more proficient server!“

“First time visit. Pretty good eats for a Southern place in Nebraska! Had the classic Chicken & Waffles. I prefer a little more crunch to my waffles but they were good. Chicken was flavored wonderfully, crisp and moist! Recommend it! Would have given 5 stars to atmosphere but didn't look Southern at all ?“

“A couple weeks ago we brought are kids in, it was me and my mom with my five kids and three nephews. We for sure thought it would be a circus. But the staff were so nice and helpful. They let each kid order, gave them their own coloring sheet and it just felt as if they went above and beyond for us. Every time we’ve ever gone for dinner it’s always a great experience but this time was just above all the rest!! Also the chicken bacon ranch taco was absolutely delicious!! They also were super helpful with my mom who is gluten free making sure she was able to enjoy lunch with the rest of us!! Shoot out to employee Tim who is always so friendly and just down to earth!“

“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“

“Love love love Nosh! The food, the drinks, the service – all exceptional!“

“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!“

“An overall excellent experience. Quality service with outstanding food. Burgers were cooked to order with our party ordering burgers from rare to medium well...all executed perfectly. Fries nicely seasoned and hot. We took full advantage of their Sunday burger special and beer special...thanks for that! Will be back to try other menu items!“

“I love this place! There's only a few places I go out to. I even had my first drink(legal drink) that Dan served back when I was in grad school house hunting. Crazy dan still serves and works here lol.but ultimately I recommend this place a thousand times over. Gracie and Dan have always been my favorite. insane customer service and bartender skills. Gracie runs this place like a pro/killer. And the food is always good. overall I'm always enthralled every time I'm there.“

“Have been here a dozen times and the food is always great and the team is awesome and friendly!“

“One of the best meals we have had! And so clean! I cannot stop talking about the salad, beef filet-veggies. The presentation. All of it.“

“Great food and attentive staff!“

“First of all, I was a little irritated because the server wouldn’t give us her name, but when she explained why, I understood completely and so we called her Gina, with her permission. And Gina was stellar! She was attentive without being intrusive, made sure we had what we needed, had a great sense of humor, and made the experience really fun. She even managed to score us bread and olive oil even though the kitchen was closed! And she knew her wine. It was an all around positive experience and I look forward to going back regularly. Thanks, Gina!“

“Love this bar! They were awesome with the new mask mandate and even though not everyone is happy about it, they kept everyone in compliance. Bar tender Tim was attentive and walked around making sure everyone was taken care of. Would recommend to anyone“

“I love the nachos here. They are spread out on a sheet pan so that each bites has so many toppings! No empty chips!!“

“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.“

“Have been here a dozen times and the food is always great and the team is awesome and friendly!“

“Had the breakfast at Omaha Marriott Regency's Heartwood Restaurant and it was wonderful. Just the right amount of selections, friendly staff watchful of re-filling the selections, and warm attention at our table. Make sure to make this part of your stay at this excellent hotel. Particular thanks to Esty and Maria.“

“Such a fun place! The food was unique and interesting and the wait staff were fantastic! Highly recommend! Went with family and we had such a nice time!“

“One of my favorite council bluffs bars. Always clean service is top notch plenty of dart boards and best of all no drama always feel welcome wether it’s new people I’ve invited or just hanging out with the regulars. BEST FRIED SHRIMP in town and only $6“

“Bronco's is an Omaha institution. The Bronco burger and Laredo fries are choice and the cheese they use is magical, I swear the founders made with the devil to be the only place in the world to have it. If you are passing through the Big O, you have to stop here.“

“Seriously the BEST martini I have ever had. The bartender is pure magic.“

“Visited For the First Time; Had Excellent Service from Morgan, Food Was Flavorful Plus Temperature Hot, Staff Wore Uniforms (Rare In Todays Relaxed Climate!), Great Location Downtown, & You Can Tell That Marta Cares. Definitely Coming Back & Referring Others to M’s Pub.“

“Had an excellent time at habitat restaurant.It was very empty when I arrived (I chose an earlier dinner time) but filled up a bit as we left.We had very dedicated service since the restaurant was empty.I appreciated the non alcoholic drink options though my only complaint was every drink had lime juice. The server told me she could swap it out for something else after I had ordered two and mentioned it to her. So it seems like the drinks are suggestions that you can modify.They use agave straws which help the environment since they aren't plastic, but don't dissolve on you like the paper ones can.The crispy Brussel sprouts were delicious. I'd still like it a bit crisper but the portion size was very large, enough to serve 4 people. I would recommend the addition of the onions and bacon.The black garlic parpadelle came with shrimp though it doesn't say it on the menu. I was full from Brussel sprouts and my two drinks (I don't eat that much)The salmon was perfectly cooked.The steak was more of a 4 star item. It didn't stand out as much but was still fine.The only issue that we all agreed on was some of the dishes can be very heavy handed with salt.Parking is available on the street. There is a parking garage across the way and the server told me you can park for free on the first floor since they are working on something. It is not validated parking. For more details and to make sure it's still available I would call the restaurant to confirm this.“

“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!“

“the best Ribeye steak I've ever had. amazing staff and service. thanks!!!!“

“I’ve been going to Jams for years and have always had a great experience. The food is consistently great and the menu is diverse. The service is a little slow so expect to be there for a bit. Overall it’s a fun environment with great food - enjoy!“

“One of your fellow employees that goes by the name of Nolan has been the kindest and up most respectful person I ever met. He helped me when I need it. You have one of the greatest employees every and I will be coming back because how nice he was to me.“

“Good food, friendly staff“

“Fun family atmosphere!!!!“

“30 minutes in, waiting for a half BLT to go order, I watched one of the food prep guys place his entire bare hand on top of some fries to check how hot they were. I didn't even finish waiting on the BLT. very slow and from what I could see, there is nothing special going on here. Just a glorified Subway.“

“Friendly staff and good food.“

“Huge shout-out to the managers at PepperJax! The issue I thought I had with being charged too much was actually not an issue, but they helped me figure it out. They did forget the cheese sauce in my order, but ended up redoing our entire order for free another day! Zero complaints; food was fresh and all employees are more than pleasant to deal with!“
