“I love coming here. Food is excellent especially for the price point. Staff work hard to take care of guests and is a super fun game day atmosphere…they have a raffle where customers win items and even gift cards and half off tabs! Sports broadcasts take priority over jukebox box as they should. Highly recommended for the area!“

“Perfect in every way!“

“Thank you Todd for fantastic drive thru service. My food was hot and fast. He suggested some kind of French onion or something sauce for my onion rings when I requested something to dip them in. I wish we had Runza in Minnesota. I hopped off the freeway when I saw the sign. San Diego here I come! But first, we Runza! My brother is so jealous right now.“

“Very friendly staff, pancakes were amazing and the freshly baked biscuits were over the top!!!!“

“Just a quick note to highlight our great dining experience. Last night, we had the pleasure of celebrating my father-in-laws birthday (around 530PM) at Charleston's Restaurant near Boys Town. Just want to brag on our server, Tommy for a bit. His energy, enthusiasm, friendliness, humor, and service was second to none. Oh, by the way, the food was delicious, too.“

“always skim your milk when you're having a latte“

“I can’t get over how great our server was. The red beard guy. And this is the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Wow. Speechless. Coming back next week.“

“We stop as often as we can when we’re driving from Kansas City to northern Nebraska. From our first visit, we’ve been impressed with everything from the pleasant service to the creative menu and dishes. My husband’s favorite is the VooDoo Chicken, but warns that it’s not for the ‘faint of mouth’. It’s delightfully spicy and goes beautifully with the accompanying cooked apples and al dente green beans.“

“The best food, cocktails, and staff 🤩“

“Good food, short wait.!!!“

“always skim your milk when you're having a latte“

“This has become our go-to local coffeehouse for afternoon dates and brunches. The coffee, food, and sweets are fantastic and the service is so consistently cheerful and relaxed that you can tell the staff truly love working at SKC.“

“always skim your milk when you're having a latte“

“I am very familiar with Culver's and have eaten there in a few states. The food was consistent with what you'd expect at any Culvers. My only issue was, it did take quite a bit of time to get the food. I almost thought they forgot about me.

Also the ketchup dispensers were not really working all that well. It took a look of action to get some ketchup.“

“Street tacos were amazing!! Onion rings…. Amazing! Everything gf! I had not had onion rings in 2years. Our waitress was a total delight and very helpful. I can’t wait to go back.“

“We did the Star Wars trivia night and had a blast! Abby was an excellent server! Everything was great!“

“Sapp Bros truck stop near I-80 and 144th street in Omaha, Ne at the Coffee Kettle Cafe with my server Kelly.

I had an enjoyable meal of a Home style cafe feel, and warm friendly service. I am loving the new ways that Sapp Bros is having restaurants nowadays!! Check out the fresh made food. I had chicken strips with Real mashed potatos, small side salad, and a slice of lemon meringue pie with sweet tea to drink.

Though next time i will be having the hand-breaded chicken friend steak with real mashed potatoes...😋 Yum!

Large enough room from 2 to 6 people at tables and booths, as well as a party room for a bit of privacy for meetings and/or get togethers, too.“

“I stayed at the lodge three nights for a family reunion. The rooms on the upper floor facing east seem to have the best views. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I had breakfast the last day at Carl’s; it was comparable prices to what you’d get in town and I enjoyed it. Would be interested to come back in the fall and try the rope course and ice skating.“

“Delicious! Love the Veal dish that you kept from Brushi menu.“

“We just ate there for our 6th wedding anniversary last night and it was an amazing experience!! Ally and the staff went above and beyond and made our night so wonderful and memorable 🥰 The food was outstanding and the Billionaire cocktail she recommended was delish! She made the dessert special and everyone even signed a card. She was so personable and genuinely nice, I can't sing Ally's praises enough, thank you again!!!“

“Always awesome. Coffee always filled!“

“The atmosphere is unmatched. As far as country dive bars go, there's no one better. The food is unbelievably good and so inexpensive. It should be a crime. Buck, the owner and his staff create one of the best atmospheres you will ever experience.“

“45 minutes in the drive thru. Your food is good but really? Staff is short everywhere but never this bad.“

“Bre was very patient, kind and helpful with us. She heard our grandson repeat crackers when she was talking to another person at the table who need crackers for their crab legs and when she brought those she also brought our grandson some crackers to eat. It was very sweet of her.

Parking: Plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: Our waitress Bre was very helpful by bringing a bowl of cherries for our grandson. She spent time talking to him. She did a great job.“

“I think its safe to say. Best breakfast I've had in Omaha. Coffee cake is amazing“

“The place is spotless. The foods delicious. The bathrooms are beautifully decorated, and modern. It's obvious the owners care about their customers comfort, and enjoyment. I also noticed they have many events. I went to their benefit poker tournament to play. I had the most fun I'd had in years.“

“I absolutely love this place, I order something different every time and I'm never disappointed.“

“I love first watch! They have so many options for my GF diet and everything is so healthy, delicious, and fresh! Rest assured, they also have the indulgent options for those with a sweet tooth and kids (choc chip pancakes!). My only regret is that I haven’t tried one of their fresh juiced concoctions during one of my visits. Definitely going to make that a priority next time. 😊“

“This is definitely by far my go-to place for wings! I like them nice and hot and char-buffed and they never disappoint!“

“Shout out to Brian and Team with BW'S Pub & Grill and Main Street Grub for catering our Channel Nebraska appreciation dinner on 8/21. The steak sandwiches, cheese potatoes, sweet chili green beans, and salad were spot on and enjoyed by all of our guests. We finished the meal with Dave’s Cakes of Omaha cupcakes, and again savored by all in attendance. Thanks to you all for making our meal amazing! Highly recommend for anyone to consider when planning a catered meal!“

“Amazing food, good service and comfortable atmosphere“

“I like First Watch bc I can enjoy many things and still stay on track with my eating plan. I would’ve appreciated the option of whole wheat English muffins, but that issue is the same across the entire chain. The server was very solicitous of my daughter’s specific requests for my grandkids’ menu choices (extra plate to share one adult meal, subbing fruit for their potatoes, extra straws and napkins, etc.).“

“Hosted a bridal shower there. Natalie was wonderful to work with. The food was very good, and the event room was the perfect size. An overall great experience!“

“If I can describe the atmosphere I would say very positive, family oriented and fun. Shevys is an awesome bar that I get to DJ at and I enjoy the crowd getting down. It’s one of the best bars I’ve played so far and the owner Shevy is awesome I’m glad I was able to meet her, very humble, great owner she takes care of her clients. I look forward doing more business here. Thank you and God bless.“

“A new place for my spouse and me. A cut above Texas Roadhouse and Outback, which we also enjoy. Nice decor: comfortable and relaxing. Roomy and clean. I had a burger, done exactly how I like it (rare). Fries were good, too. Onion rings appetizer was very good. My wife had a grilled chicken strawberry salad which she enjoyed.\nThe service was outstanding! Our server Yolanda was friendly, capable and attentive. Their new manager also introduced himself to us and made sure we were satisfied. Very much! We were given complimentary ice cream for dessert, it being my birthday.\nA very enjoyable time to briefly get away.“

“I spent a special birthday at this friendly firecracker and had the best time!! Atmosphere was perfect and comfortable and the staff felt like family. I was especially impressed with the one of a kind 🍹 drinks. I had the pleasure of sitting next to the owners that night, what an amazing couple! It was Saturday night and I experienced karaoke on a whole new level and the DJ was the best ever! Do yourself a favor and go check out this spot, I know I will back! ♥️“

“Was there on Friday.Great atmosphere Had a good time. Bar tenders were friendly. Drinks are a little high.“

“I reserved the back room and Josh was so easy to work with. The staff is so amazing and attentive. The food is great and the back room was exactly what I needed for my party!“

“So check this, I so enjoyed my 1st Pot Roast sandwich, I ordered again later on that night, of course at another location. DUDE, there was barely any beef on my sandwich. I was highly disappointed as the 1 I had earlier in the day was overflowing with meat.“

“What a fun night out to eat at Cheddar's. We opted to belly up to the bar for their famous drink called a pain killer. It's a beautiful drink with a coconut 🥥 rim and cherries. The service from the bartenders was fantastic, so we decided to eat at the bar. The bar is fully stocked and the experienced bar tenders work their magic with their delicious cocktails served strong and tasty. The appetizers were onion rings piled high with 2 different dipping sauces. We also tried the delicious fried cheese curds. The salads were crisp and wonderful. The menu boasts many items for lots of tastes, but we chose the ribeye and chicken fried chicken . We were not disappointed. Everything came out on time, hot, fresh and filling. The presentation was nice, too. The tvs were hosting the football games and the crowd was happy. Very friendly and accommodating staff. They knew how to work as a team to handle the crowd. It was packed but enjoyable. We had leftovers.“

“Stopped in with a friend to grab a quick meal on a Tuesday night. I ordered the BLT and was super surprised that it was an amazing triple-decker!! So good!! My friend ordered the tacos that were on special, and she said that they were great. Service was wonderful. Of course, we'll be back!“

“Mike, at the bar, excels in personality and beverage suggestions and Brianna was an excellent server! Jake's food was amazing and Brad, the manager, made sure our experience was great! Shout out to Katelyn and Alexa for helping everyone when it got busy. We will definitely be back! The host, Brett, should be fired immediately, though. Was rude to my Wife when we arrived and we almost decided to leave before Mike jumped in to save the day. Thanks again, Mike!“

“great food, great service.“

“We have been to OB off 144th and Center before, but now days it seems like you have less people working for an honest dollar and those that do are run ragged by others who are unkind or simply don't care to understand just how hard it is to work in the service industry. So I thought I would take a moment and share my experience last night. I called OB, to give them a heads up a large group of us were coming in last night, the service and food were absolutely amazing! I had spoken with Sherry (manager? owner? I should have made a point to find out), she was concerned that they wouldn't have the staff to accommodate us. Sherry made a point to call me back to confirm that everything was coordinated as far as staff, food and space that we could use to all be together. I pre-ordered some appetizers to come out at specific times and a cheese party pizza. What I ordered is just your basic bar and grill food, however I saw other food coming out of the kitchen that I will be going back to try. So many options. The food Mozzarella Sticks (perfectly cooked), Onion Rings (seasoned deliciously), we ordered a large shredded chicken nacho that was huge and had so many flavors going on. The Soft Pretzels with a spicy cheese dip (I would dip about anything in that cheese dip, it was soooo good) then the cheese pizza. It was crispy but not burnt, perfectly portioned sauce, cheese ratio. Everything was sent out right when I had asked and fresh. Whoever was cooking last night, excellent job. Jackie was our server, she was exceptional! Not only was she working our group she was helping other patrons as well. Jackie is an absolute rock star, she could be across the room and notice a drink near empty or someone looking around and she was right there checking on us. They have a great variety of food and drink and a great crew working the floor and behind the scenes. 100% go in and check them out. As always remember to be kind and try something new.❤“
