“This place is a two decade, staple for my wife and I. Although we haven’t lived in Omaha for over eight years, we return and enjoy this place whenever possible. Last night we had another incredible and memorable meal here with great service in the low light, low ceiling, Intimate atmosphere of this nooked-in French-influenced restaurant. Every portion of our meal was amazing, and it may seem unfair to say, but although we spent quite a bit of money on this meal, the six dollar bread service might’ve been the best part of the whole thing. The goat, fat, infused, perfectly crusted and warm bread withsalted butter would push me right into a diabetic coma if it was more relatively available. The Wagyu beef with their famous brandy peppercorn sauce remains one of the best steaks for my pallet anywhere in the country. We will continue to return.”
“We ordered the birria and Korean carnitas street tacos, elote tots, and the birria torta. We also got an aqua Fresca and a Pacifico beer. Our total was only $40 which is very reasonable. The food was really good, nothing mind blowing, but I loved all the different options they have. It seems to be mostly a blend of Mexican and Asian cuisine. It’s nice they have alcohol there if you want a couple beers, but their mango aqua Fresca was delicious! The elote tots were really good too! I did think the tacos and birria torta could have used more seasoning, slightly bland. But for the price and amount of food we got, I would say it was a good value. Very unique menu that I haven’t seen in Omaha!”
“From the moment I entered this amazing restaurant, I received impeccable service from the highly attentive and personable host and wait staff. The server reviewed menu options and offered suggestions on meals and wine selections. Each table received comparable service from their respective servers. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and that feeling resonates within this space. The food (including the plating and presentation) was nothing short of SPECTACULAR! I highly recommend this restaurant and cannot wait to visit this gem again soon.”
“Exceptionally accommodating, great food, and great service! They were able to host a spur of the whim table of 12 despite being busy with smiles on their faces and they food came out promptly and was excellent. We would not hesitate to come back if in Omaha.”
“Super cute restaurant with a nice ambiance. The pizza is excellent with unique flavors. The dessert we tried was the citrus & cream and was one of the best I have had in recent memory. Highly recommend giving them a try.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We had the loveliest experience at Yoshitomo. The menu is expansive and nothing we tried disappointed. We tried something from every section of the menu and it left us adequately full and delighted! I don’t remember our waiter’s name, but he was the best and gave excellent recommendations :)”
“What a fun addition to Downtown Omaha! Memoir is hip, modern, and swanky all wrapped into one gorgeous restaurant. Even better than the design and decorations is their food. With a diverse and sophisticated menu everything from drinks to appetizers to entrees and beyond is delicious. The Memoir Dip au Jus was tender delicious and quite possibly the best one we have had. Their pasta and potatoes puffs were excellent and full of flavor. You cannot go wrong with anything you choose. Our waitress, Tammy, was excellent and quick to give us some great recommendations. All the staff was delightful and made us feel welcomed! I had heard that this is some of the best food in Omaha and I couldn't agree more!”
“I love it here. Great steak (although a bit salty for my palate), quiet, speakeasy atmostphere and very friendly waiter, Joe. Wish they don't cut up the steak though.Highly recommend for anniversaries and bdays. We always end up paying $400+, but the experience is quite worth the price.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Loved all the food. Our first waitress was either super busy or did not pay attention. Another young man seen us looking lost and helped us. He was amazing. I don't want to butcher his name but started with a J. Great place will be returning for another sushi boat.”

“The pizza was good and very filling. It took awhile but we didn't mind waiting. He was very accommodating and set up a table for us so we could sit on the bences to eat.”
“I love this place. Every city should have one. The breakfast muffins are delicious, the Irish coffee is a good morning kickstart, along with a very cozy atmosphere. The variety of market items has me hooked. The service is great and the people are sincerely friendly.Try Godega, I highly recommend it..”

“My daughter and I got a to go order from here for her birthday and while this was our first time here it won’t be our last. The service was amazing. Everyone was so incredibly kind and attentive. The food was delicious and the portions generous. Great value for the money and we absolutely will be back.”
“Ridiculously delicious Ramen. Better than the place on Dodge and 72nd. Better than the place in Westroads mall. The broth is so good... ethereal... don't know what other word to use... high quality frrsh ingredients. For real, real gochujang. I know cause my momma is Korean. Good chewy noodles...Best I've had in Omaha! The fried Oreos an awesome dessert. Sinful... felt like I had to go to confession after eating. Staff is friendly and funny. Decor (gangster movies and rappers, with anime and toys) is kitschy and eccletic but not overdone. All in all...A GREAT dining experience! Highly recommend to all.”
“Ended up here through a recommendation from a friend. Thanks friend! You were not wrong. Everything we had was spot on. My daughter said it was the best Tika Masala she's ever had... and she's had a lot LOL. The people working - owners or owner's family maybe - were delightful. They even have us some mango and pear custard complementary. Super happy to have made it here. This will definitely be our go to for Indian in Omaha.”

“I've been told to go to J Gilberts for years now. Very happy I finally had the chance. I loved the prix fixe menu options. The wedge salad was amazing along with my prime strip. Cooked to perfection and crazy flavorful. Finished with a delicious creme brulee. I flipped a coin for my starter cocktail and would definitely try the smoked old fashioned next time.”
“Fantastic brewery and tasting room in Little Bohemia. It's very bright and I love the exposed brick walls. They have a unique and ever changing beer, making for an adventure every time. They just added a little wine bar in the b ack room and I am so excited to try it out. It's right on 13th street so parking is available on each side of the street. Affordable, locally made, draws. Definitely a must stop if you're going out for a bevvy.”
“Perfect experience top to bottom. Food was excellent, people were great and very friendly, especially Cole. Service was on point, place had a great vibe.Vegan sushi was creative and inspired, full of flavor, and perfectly executed.Had lunch and went back for dinner.

“We had a party of two to celebrate a job offer, and the service was outstanding. I had made a special request for a congratulations table setting, and I was so appreciative of their efforts. Our server was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. We each did the Prix Fixe menu, trying an array of the items. We also added wine pairings and a few cocktails (Jameson & the Giant Peach was fabulous).Pictured are the Angus hanging tender, yuzu creme brulee, and chocolate cheesecake. It's true - they taste even better than they look. I highly recommend the Caesar salad as an option on the Prix Fixe too. We are excited to return for our special occasions.”
“Mushroom bake and cheesecake were outstanding. Paid over $100 for a bone in ribeye and it was raw in the middle portion near the bone. Not sure if it's because they only broil their steaks and can't get the interior warm before the outside burns but I expected better preparation for the cost. Still a good cut of meat.”
“Nice atmosphere for date night. Ate at the bar and the bar staff was awesome. Great recommendations and very knowledgeable on drinks. Can be pricey but worth it.Parking: Parking is terrible so drive a small car if possible.”
“The negima and buta were delicious! The chasu buns had too much sauce that overwhelmed the whole dish and the Omaha Crunch Roll was fine.I was surprised at how many items were unavailable since it required a reservation to get in. The service is unenthusiastic but not bad. Overall could be better but nothing was glaringly bad.”
“Oh my days! Seriously get down to Copal. I moved here 2 years ago and haven't eaten Mexican food since because I was worried it wouldn't be the same. Let me tell you, I've missed out for two years! Food is exceptional! FRESH! TASTE! SERVICE! HOSPITALITY!The Chef sent out a free Taco made in their hometown style! If your craving the authentic taste of Mexican food, get yourself to Copal !”
“Finally found good Indian food in Nebraska! Amazing atmosphere, great service, kind staff, and delicious food! The head chef came to our table twice during our meal to make sure everything was good and we were being taken care of. Highly recommend this place!”
“The service is impeccable, with attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. As for the food, it's nothing short of spectacular. From perfectly cooked steaks to mouthwatering sides and decadent desserts, every dish is crafted with precision and bursting with flavor. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a memorable meal, Mahogany Prime Steakhouse is the perfect choice.”
“I can’t give this place enough stars, my wife and I came here on March 9th for her birthday and it blew us away. Before our visit here we had never been to a high end restaurant and we have 0 regrets about it. The food is absolutely amazing, the staff were absolutely amazing, even the other guests were great. It was nice going out and not seeing everyone glued to their phones. Our waitress was Shelby and she was on top of everything, very polite, continuously doing rounds checking on her tables, we never once had to wait for a refill on drinks or anything else. There was a guy (I assumes manager of some sort but possibly not) going around and talking to everyone after they had their food for a while and making sure they were 100% happy with everything. His exact words were “if there is anything that isn’t absolutely perfect let me know and we will make it right” and that was the exact feeling we received from every employee we encountered. The only downfall I could say is they have their tables a little too close together for my liking but I’m sure it’s a must when a place puts out this quality of food and service. We can not wait until we are able to visit again.”
“Loved in China for a couple of years, this is as authentic as I have found in the USA and especially Omaha.If you want real chinese food which is so much more delicious than the American style, this place is a must.”
“Food was awsome will definitely have again. I understand the wait buy wasn't prepared for 2.5 hours but definitely will plan ahead next time....had a variety of eggs & flat breads & none ”
“Top notch dining in Omaha. The tasting menu is a good bet, and gives you a great array of their best dishes. Get a reservation early as they fill up. Definitely in the top 5 eateries in Omaha.”
“Came here for my birthday and I can’t say enough good things. Our server was very friendly and let us take our time. She was very attentive and made sure our glasses were always full. The food was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. While it was pricey i would say well worth ”
Dinner Theater • $$$
“We took a group of 16 year olds and had a blast!! The actors were a riot and the atmosphere was so much fun. The main meal was so so, the dessert however was phenomenal!We will be coming back and enjoying another show.”

“Why is the best tiki bar in the world in Omaha? I’m not sure. What dedication to ambiance. What dedication to the details in cocktails. What dedication to a fun Polynesian menu. Best daiquiri I’ve ever had.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“THAT was good! ??I hadn’t been to Hurts Donut before and am glad I went. What a great little spot! Great atmosphere for the kids… A sign warns that solicitors and troublemakers will be glazed and sprinkled ?Left with more donuts than I had planned on, but I’m sure you will too!”
“This was a pretty legit car wash it was definitely on the price of your side of car washes and the one thing about it that was different as you were to put your money into the the change machine but instead of getting changed you got like digital temporary credit card to use that came out with like like a Bitcoin emblem on it and also came with a free glass cleaning wipe which was kind of cool in a little different so besides her that everything seems to be working as it should and I really enjoy got in and got out and I definitely will go back”
“I work at UNMC overnight and being open 24/7 is a godsend. The staff is cordial and the employee named Johnny made me feel welcomed on my first day of work. Serice is prompt and food is good. I'd give this location 10 stars but it wont let me.”
“Went with a group of 30 high school theater kids, which is never easy on restaurant staff. Our server was excellent and pleasant to work with. 2 managers even came by several times to check in on us.”
“I must say the crew at McDonald's are great, I just order on my phone the use my name and know just how I like my coffee. Keep up the great job ?!!!!!!!Parking: Lots, and handicap”
“I went there to order a pizza. Shea took my order, and when I asked about stuffed crust it was obvious that they did not offer this type of crust. That didn't stop Shea, she thought she could do it, never done one before but was willing to give it a shot. It is people like this that create return customers. The pizza was great, little too much sauce - says a guy who usually orders his pizza's sauceless. But, the willingness of Shae to even attempt it was the true value.”
“I mean for a gas station i was impressed. The store is super clean and well-stocked. The kitchen looked clean enough for me to feel comfortable getting a donut and slice of pizza”
“Went through the drive through around 12:45a.m. on 2/6 the gentleman at the window had a positive attitude and was above average on the personable scale. Like to give recognition where it is due.”
“The manager and crew made my day!they kept on dancing and singing while preparing orders and dealing with the lunch rush and some incredibly challenging customers...(tip: if your response when a fast food order isn't correct- is to scream profanities and threaten violence ...it's probably wise to bring your lunch to work - )However this crew handled that customer with 5 star service 5 star attitudes and dance moves!”
“It's my first time in this place. I loved the food. Everything was very good. The service was incredible. I was served by a boy who spoke Spanish who made it very easy for me to feel comfortable since I don't speak much English. I recommend it 10 out of 10.”
“Had a terrible experience with a different burger king and called in to explain the issue and got ahold of the manager at this location and was extremely kind and ”
“I had a good experience there at McDonald's this morning customer service was great one in particular employee caught my eye she was the only one who paid attention to the customers at the registers and acknowledge those guests, drive-thru was busy, in conclusion good job on her part to keep those guests at the register they will be serviced”
“In Omaha I frequent the McDonald's on 42nd off the interstate. The food here is always fresh and ready. I never have to pull ahead here for then to walk out the food. Be careful the fries are hot. Don't burn yourself. With the increase in process across everything I know this place helps with that. I'm always asked if I need sauces and if there's a special order with someone with me. It's made right. The manager Carrie I have noticed is very kind and her crew works well with her leadership. I will go back here.”
“It's always a treat to get my food here. I only use the drive-thru. Even when they are busy and I have to wait in line, the drive-thru attendant is very friendly and helpful and the food never disappoints me.”
“Nice atmosphere for date night. Ate at the bar and the bar staff was awesome. Great recommendations and very knowledgeable on drinks. Can be pricey but worth it.Parking: Parking is terrible so drive a small car if possible.”

Takeout Restaurants
“The ABSOLUTE best ice cream place in Omaha, Nebraska located in black stone! Amazing service & phenomenal ice cream! All of their flavors are so spot on & super creamy! The waffle cone is homemade and super crispy! Pairs perfectly with their ice cream. Their popular flavor is the blackstone butterbrickle! I personally love their birthday cake (not featured when I went) & the Grandma Minnie's lemon bar ! The small chunks of the lemon bar is absolutely fabulous! It was my first time trying the key lime pie, it was great, super tarty & creamy at the same time! I personally would say it is something that could get overwhelming with how tarty it is, but super subjective! I love how Coneflower supports local businesses such as Archetype Coffee (right across the street) and uses their coffee to make their ice cream version of it & it's one of my go to's!! If you're a coffee lover, do not skip on this! Coneflower is always so busy - long line but it won't take forever until it's your turn! Employees work quickly & always encourage you to try new flavors! The layout is very limited. Some seating on the inside with about 3 round tables to accommodate 2-5 individuals to one table. Outside there are 2 bench areas to fit 4 people per table! Snag a table while you can, otherwise you may be lucky to find a bend near the store front on your right when walking out!”
“Best Mediterranean I’ve had in Omaha so far. Fantastic meat rice and pita, the king sauce was a little weird and ranch like but it was pretty good. I think I would have preferred tahini. Rice pudding was also very good.”
“I absolutely love this place.We’re a family of gamers, nerds and we’re millennial parents. So we grew up with playing SNES and eating Cereal. Love that when I’m on vacation I can go back to my childhood. Love the atmosphere and the service and the coffee and drinks are amazing!Must go here if you’re visiting Omaha”
“This is an establishment that cares about the people they serve to an insane degree. The server and head of the counter took the time to explain the whole menu and gave helpful suggestions. He was easy to talk to and made you feel welcome. I asked if they had anything sweet on the menu and he checked the back to see if they had dessert from the night prior. Talk about above and beyond. The owners themselves in the back then decided that the beautiful creme Brule that was expertly made could not be given to me for money but for free. You need to visit this place. They made guy fiery happy, and they made this average guy elated.”
“First went to this place with my girlfriend and I fell in love. We had breakfast and coffee and the food was delicious. What's better is the service. Cooked on the spot and served with love and care. We can't stay away from this place! Traditional Ethiopian!!”
“Had asked for some recommendations on the best wings in town and was told to check it out here. Amazingly enough, they were correct and the wings were amazing. The fries were some of the best we have had in some time. Save your money and don't do the lettuce wraps as they had no favoring along with little to no chicken in them. It was a busy night and with one large table, you couldn't hear anything when they were talking, but thankfully, as soon as they left, we could talk without screaming at each other. Sadly, our server didn't appear to be happy with our table as she continued to check on the table next to ours and completely forgot about us until it was time to give us the check. The other younger server not only brought us out our food but also got us refills as our lady didn't came back. Will be back and make sure we are in the other servers table next time.”
“Dairy Chef has the best soft serve I have ever had in my life. I love getting a chocolate shake with fresh strawberries (my go to) and their food is also amazing! They have great burgers, chicken strips, popcorn chicken, yummy tots, and fries. I have never craved ice cream like I crave Dairy Chef.”
“The food here is excellent. We really like their grilled pork plate with gallo pinto and sweet plantains with an add-on of the fried cheese. Their pupusas are also really good.”
“Bro sorry about the review last year. I was complaining about prices. We had some catered in today at my work. You have the best BBQ in town! I took that review down. Sorry sir!”
“Best donuts I've ever had. Always pillowy soft dough, the perfect amount of glaze/icing, and always so fresh! We love stopping by and supporting a well loved local business. Would recommend getting there earlier rather than later, as the donuts go quickly!”
“Not sure how you could give this place anything less than 5 Stars. Having a bad day , walk in the front door and just look at the baked goods. Insanely good, and the owners are super nice.”
“Why is the best tiki bar in the world in Omaha? I’m not sure. What dedication to ambiance. What dedication to the details in cocktails. What dedication to a fun Polynesian menu. Best daiquiri I’ve ever had.”
“By far, the best bakery in Omaha! Delicious breads, cakes, doughnuts, and more. Korean sweet red bean bread and doughnuts and the garlic cream bread are two of my favorites, but everything so tasty! Highly recommend!”
“I’ve only been here three times while passing through Omaha on travels, there’s no other coffee shop in Omaha I’ll go to other than Howlin Hounds! Excellent service and top notch coffee at a great price. I’ve ordered for myself, my wife, and my son, and each drink was made to perfection! I just wish I had more excuses to travel to Omaha for a cup.”
“Very friendly staff no pressure or rushing me to order ... I had the catfish dinner with dirty rice , cabbage and fries . Don't judge me lol . I will be back ..good food..check out the pictures ... pictures don't ”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Autumn was so helpful and was super super speedy and quick in the drive-through!Parking: Parking was really goodKid-friendliness: She was super sweet to my two-year-old who was in my backseat”
“The food was decent but it's predominantly a cafe, so my expectations were not too high to begin with. The Granita was awesome! The atmosphere is what caught my attention. I could not get over the ambiance. I loved it!”
“Would be cool if they had more flavor options, lots of chocolate drinks. I got the snickerdoodle & didn’t taste the cinnamon or cookie butter. The chiller was ight, tastes artificial, sugary”
“Called in order today and picked it up and it wasn’t the size we ordered. They didn’t hesitate at all to make it right. We drive across town for this pizza-always great and service is second to none. Definitely check it out!!!”
“Name says it All! Quick, convenient, clean, plenty of indoor seating, drive-thru, & Fantastic food! All Curry's are gluten-free(skip the Naan). We got the combo that gives you a choice of 2 curry with rice & Kofta(gf) (& naan if you can eat bread). Between us, we got butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, & malai chicken. Everything was super yummy, and some have a little spice. I recommend trying this place, so good!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options”
“has to be one of my favorite coffee places in Omaha, Super sad when they close the Bellevue location. ******* don’t order online because your pick up order won’t be ready for 45 minutes and they will get mad if you arrive early.****”
“First time trying stories was a great experience wasn’t sure what to get the gentlemen at the register was very Friendly Recommended one of his favorites to try very good and will come back again!”
“Love this drive-thru location for when I'm on the go. Glad they were open on Easter, too. My husband enjoyed the turtle latte. ? I got one of their seasonal drinks and enjoyed it, too! ?”
“I stopped by this place on the weekend and got the matcha mint drink and mini cinnamon donuts. I really love how cozy this place is— there’s a fireplace and even books you can read! I plan on coming again.”
“Haley is the best employee Hay Jay could have anyone with a smile as bright as hers early in the morning with the most positive energy she deserves a raise for sure. I told her to make me what she thinks would be delicious and it was beyond that?? I would recommend Hay Jay to anyone because of Haley.”
“I have only been here twice, but both times I have loved the experience! The bartender really knows their stuff, and is good at balancing attending to patrons, memorizing orders to mix, and making conversation if you are sitting at the bar. Every drink I have seen comes out beautifully and each one I've tasted even more so. I have enjoyed trying the funky seasonal creations, and want to keep coming back for each new menu. I have not tried the NA drinks, but really appreciate that they are an option!!Drinks aside, I LOVE the small atmosphere, the quirky design of the interior, and whoever plays DJ deserves a raise. I would feel comfortable bringing anyone who enjoys cocktails or mocktails here, because of how inviting this place is.”
“9/27/2022Stopped by for Penne and meatsauce. The crew seemed a bit stressed out tonight, but they managed to get us fed in a reasonable amount of time.7/11/2022Things are going smoothly. Got the penne and meatsauce with meatballs and a New York style cheesecake. This is the right amount of food for my wife and I to split. No muss, no fuss, just good food.4/30/2022Stopped by for my favorite meal, penna with meatballs. It seems they're a bit short staffed still, but we're not in a hurry, so it worked out. The staff seems to be getting to know us because they have started to remember peculiarities about our order.2/11/2022We've been going here a very long time and some things have changed, like their rewards program and the staff several times. The thing that keeps us coming back is that the food is good and a good value. Plus, one star.Don't remember the original review date.We typically got here on Wednesday for the senior meal deal, and it is a good deal. The staff is pleasant the place is clean and the food is great.”
“So great! And appreciate the family meals for a budget friendly family! Staff was so nice too!Parking: We had a reserved spot while we waited and were given breadsticks while we waited! Legit wil be back again!Kid-friendliness: My kids were so excited over the family meal and everyone was happy with options”
“it’s canes what can i say. The old gentleman in front is amazing so kind and he treated us perfectly. I think it’s the best customer service i’ve ever had we need more people like him”
“They were on top their game that day. I ordered a double don and baked potato. Ate my potato reheated for dinner, and it still was fresh and good. Restarant was clean. Even beverage center had no spills. Tea was tasty. Lacked lemon.Parking: The parking lot has some major winter holes needing attention.Kid-friendliness: Booths made for families with adult table sitting nearby. A little noise from kids doesn't really offend within reason”
“Top notch dining in Omaha. The tasting menu is a good bet, and gives you a great array of their best dishes. Get a reservation early as they fill up. Definitely in the top 5 eateries in Omaha.”
“Came here for my birthday and I can’t say enough good things. Our server was very friendly and let us take our time. She was very attentive and made sure our glasses were always full. The food was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. While it was pricey i would say well worth ”

“Beautiful shop! So colorful, lots of seating. Perfect location to study or have a meeting. My latte was perfectly sweet and creamy. Service was amazing! Server was super sweet and helpful!”
“Grand Patisserie is the BEST BAKERY in the Omaha Area! They are very passionate about their baking & everything is exquisite! All of the employees & the owners, Zied & Rafika are fantastic & are so happy to make the best recommendations for what you are looking for. We have also done special orders thru them & have had excellent results. This is our Go To bakery in Omaha!!Dietary restrictions: They have many GF DELICIOUS options”
“The food was delicious and it was extremely fast! I wash shocked when we ordered it and with 15 min it was on the table. Such a great place.Kid-friendliness: We had two toddlers and they had the high top high chairs. They were very helpful with the kids and making sure they had everything they needed.”
“A very nice find. My buddy suggested it for lunch today. Not hard to find great parking across the street. The lady that works there was great at explaining a kinda difficult menu. Our lunch was very good. The food was hot when served. The beans and rice was very good. Place was very clean, when someone got it they are on top of cleaning it up. The bar looked really nice as well. Definitely will be back.Parking: Easy to find parking nice sized lot.”
“Adorable coffee shop, friendly service and great coffee! We were at the zoo and this popped up as a close local coffee shop which we like to try in new places. Great stop!”
“Very Busy BBQ! HUGE to go business as well. The dining room is huge though so you should be able to find a seat. The set up is a little nerve wracking because you have to read the menu real quick on the wall when you come in, pay and then they give you a number and bring it to you. After a few times I'm sure it won't be as scary. Lol. They have a couple cashiers, so the line goes pretty fast. Desserts are behind them in the cooler... So don't forget that! Banana or Pistachio pudding! I like the pulled pork the best & my spouse likes the ribs. Everything we've had is good tho the few times we went. They have 3 sauce bottles available. Fire. Sassy (sweet & savory our fav) & mild. All are great tho. Apple coleslaw is vinager based & i loved it. Could taste apple. My spouse didn't because they like the more mayo version. Cornbread is like cake consistency (my fav) but spouse likes more crumbly but we both appreciated the great corn flavor! Served with honey & butter. Kettle chips are bubbly and flavorful. Fried onion petals are great small size to put on the sandwhich if you want. I didn't know they had dill pickle chips and those come with the sandwich on the side. Mmmm. They do run out of brisket fast and there is a sign on the door if they run out of stuff they close. Everything is FRESH! Smells awesome in there and kept really clean due to a large working crew. They sell bottles/ cans behind counter to drink, but they do have soda, homemade lemonade, sweet & unsweetened tea at serve yourself fountains. I would say it's definitely in the top 5 BBQ places in Omaha. But then again there isn't a bad bbq in Omaha. Very reasonable prices. $40 for 2 adults with drinks & dessert not including tip. The suggested receipt tips are 2 to 7% probably because it's pay at the counter & get ur own tableware. We left 15% on a card & a couple dollars in the jar by the register. Squirreled away in a corner lot of several strip malls, across from Tanners Bar on the Northeast side of 156th & Maple. Watch for confused drivers everywhere. It's a weird residential entrance. Use GPS. Lovely area though.”
“Laid back family restaurant where the first thing they ask is if you want the menu which means they have a lot of regulars. I would be too if I lived nearby. The Philly omelet was awesome! Pancakes was tasty ”
“The wife and I happened upon Taste of Heaven on base, and we couldn't be happier with the food and service. The catfish was delicious and the Jamaican pulled pork was outstanding. Do yourselves a favor and find their truck and chow down!”
“Best Italian food in Omaha!! My personal favorites are the meatball sub, spinach artichoke dip and the chicken alfredo pizza, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I strictly get take-out, as there is not much room to sit inside. Also, so others don't see me inhale/devour my food! Love this place! The owners, Tony and Dana, are fantastic people, and I love supporting their business.”
“This place was cool. The food was good. The atmosphere was Melo, too. I ordered ceviche, and it was okay, but I have had better, but I guess everyone makes it different. Frozen margaritas were tasty, too. Surprisingly, this was my first time going, and I will definitely go again.”
“The service was top tier! They we very kind and inviting. When over the menu and answered any questions we might have had. The food was made fresh and little to no wait. It was good quality of food that was give and I am really satisfied with my choice to choose Mr. Rice at the oak view mall”
“My friend & I tried Alice for the first time Saturday night. I have frequented their sister bar Wicked Rabbit and was looking forward to trying Alice. The atmosphere was great and the staff was super friendly. I personally love when my drinks get set on fire because its a great show. I had the Demeter & the Planters Punch. If I had one suggestion, it would be less ice! However, the cocktails were great and I'm looking forward to going back.”
“We went for dinner. We were surprised by the bean dip that came with the salsa. Both were delicious! We shared the amazing tasty house margarita. We also had the Queso Fundido as it has chorizo which makes everything better. Both the flour and corn tortillas that it came with were delicious. I was full by this time but I still got the Tacos Supremo. It was HUGE. It is spicy. The steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My husband had the trio platter, also HUGE portion, with crispy Chile rellano, beef and pork. Absolutely delicious and perfect. The salsa verde is very good. Service was top notch. We have found our new Mexican food restaurant!”
“Amateur is my second favorite coffee shop in Omaha! Their vegan mission and sustainable coffee jar program are radical in the best way possible. The staff are very kind and courteous and the general cohesiveness of this place is very organized and well thought out.”
“Saro is a hidden gem in Omaha NE! I absolutely adore this sit in lounge bar. It’s what you would call a fancy bar lounge. The vibes in this place bring out the classy in you! I love apple cider ♥️???”
“Khao Niao has been a staple for us since moving out to West O from Midtown. They easily have the best Thai curry I've had (I can't get enough of their massaman curry). Wife loves their pad thai and pad see ew. Can't go wrong with any of the food here!”
“Great Italian restaurant, wait staff is awesome from the time you walk in the door to the time you walk out. We had a party of eight, everyone had a different dish, and all raved about how good their meal was. No room for desert.”
“Came here for a meal before a show at the Orpheum. Family of 6 and most everyone was happy with what they got. More authentic Mexican than our basic white taste buds are used to, ha. Louis was a good server and the kids enjoyed his fun nature.”
“I thought the food and service was great! Went for dinner on a Wednesday with a group from work - loved that there was a wide variety of options for all of the different diets and spicyness palates of the group ;) Huge windows let you see the Aksarban area but parking can be a problem. The atmosphere of the restaurant was maybe a step below the food and service but still a modern, classy joint! A tad pricey but well worth it as the servings were well portioned - I definitely did not leave hungry! Definitely well go again.”
“Great place to meet friends for mock tails! Plenty of games, books and conversations seating areas. Extensive mocktail menu, and everything is non alcoholic. Quiet and cozy sitting areas. Also open mic on Fridays!”
“Always outstanding. Service couldn't be better. Make a reservation for dinner since they are always busy. Good salad bar, I had beef stroganoff with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. Loved it.”
“This is my favorite speakeasy I've been to. The drinks were some of the best I've had. The bartenders were so nice and have great suggestions. Love the theme of this speakeasy as well. This is a must go to for everyone who passes through omaha (and is over the age of 21 and a decent human)”
“Delicious wood-fired pizza and good GF options. Staff is always accommodating and attentive. Craft drinks are top notch and there's a very impressive wine list.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options”
“It was super busy so I thought It would be a slow service at the bar but Cassie acknowledged me within the minute and took great care of all of us! Didn’t feel rushed, everything was timely, and the salmon burger was sooo good! Couldn’t get a pic because my phone was dying, but the host charged it for me! Great food and Staff! I’ll def stop by the next time I’m in Omaha!”
“I recently visited Jackson Street Tavern and had a generally positive experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable, providing a pleasant dining environment. I decided to try the Nebraska burger, and it was cooked to perfection, although it was slightly undercooked from medium well. Despite this, I found the overall taste and quality of the burger to be satisfying.The service provided by Katie was commendable. She was attentive and efficient in her duties. However, I did encounter a slight issue when expressing my feedback to her. It seemed that she was in a rush and didn't have much time to listen to my comments. She quickly ended the conversation and wished me a good day while I was still speaking.Overall, my experience at Jackson Street Tavern was positive, with tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere. While the service from Katie was efficient, there was a minor issue with attentiveness when I was providing feedback.”
“The service was excellent. The food was fantastic. It was a 2 1⁄2 hour dining experience. I took my mother for her 81st birthday. We had a blast. I'm definitely going back again and would recommend this to all my friends.”
“Great food, great atmosphere, great place Top of the line full service restaurant in the Benson area A place you definitely don't want to miss! It is one of my favorite restaurants”
“The interior and staff are lovely. We had the spring vegetable pizza tonight and it was life-altering-ly good (the buratta and pickled shallots were just like... holy smokes, I mean I came home and was so moved by this pizza that I voluntarily got on to Google to make sure the internet knows how YUMMY my dinner was). Also, the mozzarella and pesto roll, guys omg, so very very good.”
“We met friends for dinner, food and service is excellent, it's pretty loud inside but it's a small place so to be expected. Looking forward to going again.”
“A little disappointing. The server was inattentive, did not refill the drinks, and never asked how the food was. It was an early lunch so the restaurant was not busy. The fresh fish (mahi mahi blackened) was solid. The portion size was a little small for the price. However, the fish was moderately fresh tasting, cooked well, and tasty. The salad that came with the meal was good. Fresh, crisp lettuce with some really zesty, homemade Italian dressing. Overall, I expected much more. It was five star pricing for 4 star food and 2 star service.”
“We had a party there last night and it went fantastic! The staff was very accommodating to our needs. The service was great and the food and drinks were delicious! Everyone loved it. The atmosphere is very laid back and cozy and I loved the lights hanging on the windows. No one was waiting for drinks and the food came out quickly as well. All of my guests were raving about the place.”
“Great location, good food and service. My only complaint was they were out of red beans and rice, but we were in late (about an hour before closing), so it's understandable. I'll have to go back again to try that. :)”
“I had the pleasure of visiting Ahmad's Restaurant during my trip to Omaha, and it was a delightful experience. Finally getting the chance to dine here after seeing the pictures and reading the reviews was truly worth it. Meeting Ahmad in person was a highlight - his warm hospitality made the visit even more enjoyable.One thing that drew me to this restaurant was Ahmad's unique idea of serving bananas alongside Persian food. Despite some reviews dismissing this concept, I found it to be a distinguishing feature that added to the charm of the dishes. The combination of flavors was exceptional and truly made the dining experience memorable.We tried the Tehran chicken and Kabob Kubideh, both of which were exquisite. The Tehran chicken had a distinct and spicy flavor profile that I hadn't encountered before, adding an exciting twist to traditional Persian cuisine. Ahmad's innovative approach to cooking, evident in every dish, sets his restaurant apart from other typical Persian restaurants.I appreciate Ahmad's willingness to introduce new ideas while still honoring the essence of Persian cuisine. The inclusion of bananas may seem unconventional to some, but it's these unique choices that make Ahmad's Restaurant stand out.To further illustrate, I was reminded of the Brazilian tradition of serving cooked bananas between different meals to balance flavors. Just as in Brazilian cuisine, where grilled bananas enhance the dining experience, Ahmad's clever addition of bananas complemented the spicy chicken and kubideh kabob perfectly.We also tasted the restaurant's baklava, a delightful dessert. It was the perfect way to end a fantastic dining experience.Moreover, the environment was very beautiful and friendly, with captivating paintings adding to the ambiance.Overall, I highly recommend Ahmad's Restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and delicious culinary adventure. Don't let the naysayers deter you - embrace the creativity and passion that Ahmad brings to each dish. I can't wait to return and explore more of his innovative menu offerings.”
“Barroco is the most unassuming, amazing little spot I had no idea existed! It's located in the corner of a strip mall, but once you enter, you are completely transported to another place! It is dimly lit with candles, yet warm and welcoming. The service was friendly, and the espresso martini was amazing! I only had the one drink, but I can't wait to come back and try more of their wine and cocktail offerings.”
“Lunch time 11-12:30. Just got done. It was sooo good. So loud, nobody even noticed my kiddos. Sat in the corner of the bar, so the 2 babes could stay happy in the stroller with plenty of room. Food was outstanding! My server killed it!”
“As this was our first time we didn't know what to expect but we absolutely loved everything about this place. We have found a new favorite when we are in Omaha!”
“Me and my sister got drunk in the middle of the day. We had Kemper for a waiter, he was cool, I liked his shirt and the food was phenomenal/magnificent. The drinks. God damn.”
“Fairly versatile menu . Appetizers Soups salads sandwiches burgers pizza enchiladas. Our server was very accommodating, taking time to explain things and listening to our needs. The atmosphere was much nicer than I expected as far as decor, but I didn't feel out of place. I love the little lamps and small fresh flowers on the table. Dad had the walleye special with Cole slaw and sautéed red potatoes. He ate it all and loved it. I had the chicken spinach and artichoke pizza. Cut party style and very thin crust but tasty. Our guests had the pork tenderloin with friends and the steak enchilada. She did not care for the fries but the tenderloin was good. The enchilada was favorable but larger than expected. All in all we will be back and am anxious to try other items on the menu. Oh and the margaritas were fantastic! Table of four was $200 with tip but we had 5 margaritas at $11 each a $30 pizza and spinach artichoke appetizer”
“They had an amazing Sunday brunch menu. I recommend the gravy, pancakes, and lox. They do close the kitchen 30 minutes before close so don’t get there too late.Kid-friendliness: Kids options.”
“Went to Tupelo Honey for the first time and it was delicious!!Will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. We can't stop thinking about those biscuits !!Staff was super nice and friendly and the decor / ambiance was so calming and beautiful.”
“Just wanted some sushi cus I was a bit hungover from the previous night. Absolutely knocked it out this park this place, lion king was so good I almost shed a tear. Miso soup was great too. Definite go-to place if you’re in need of some comfort food. Only critique I’d say was that they should try and opt for more premium metallic chopsticks instead of providing wooden disposable ones. This would really lift the restaurant’s already high quality and service to another level.”
“My buddy is mourning the recent loss of her mother. She's not eaten much since Tuesday. So I got to spend one evening with her and I knew where I was going to bring her. MIO!! You can make reservations now and I was able to note what I was thinking how the evening would go. I wanted to make sure that I got the bill so I could make sure she ate well and spoil my friend! Keelan was our server and he was so great! The food was amazing!! The chef and who I believe was the manager came to check on us also. I had snuck off and gave my cc to Keelan and his timing was perfect. My friend had just pulled her card out and he had already closed it out and she was shocked! Thank you so much to Mio for helping me make my friend smile and feed her an excellent meal.”
“We stop in for the occasional treat thanks for a monthly punch card they have to offer. My kids love getting to pick out the most fun and festive looking cupcake of the day. The shop is quaint, with one bistro table and a couple of chairs. The cupcakes are beautifully made, but flavor profile-wise, I've yet to truly be floored. I'm guessing their main jam is catering/custom cakes, and I can't speak to that part of the biz. From our experiences, the staff has been very kind and accommodating.”
“Truly delicious and naturally made juices that span a wide variety of ingredients and flavors that are not only healthy, but pretty dang tasty as well. My wife and I have added this to one of our primary stops whenever we're in Omaha.”
“The best steak I’ve had by far. No one comes close to their whiskey aged steak. Service is great too. I always stop at a hotel nearby so I can eat here when heading to or from ”
“My daughter has been craving tteokbokki so when we were in town and decided to come here!she said it was amazing and wants to come back next time we are in town.”
“My partner and I went there on a date night a few months back.Cibo Vino is kinda mid, in my opinion.It relies on its wine selection and location to appeal to people, and the food kinda falls short. Lemme tell you why.It’s on one of the busier intersections in the Old Market, just across the street from Upstream and La Buvette. The ambience is lovely. Low, intimate lighting with a lot of really cool artwork and decor. The bar is beautifully designed, and our bartender was cool.Good selection of wine, and not too terribly priced if you’re getting it by the glass.Food and plating, however, was what made it mid.For a restaurant in a prime location serving food that’s anywhere from 25-35 bucks a plate, you’d expect some diversity in the flatware with a little bit of artful plating. Every dish came out on the same size plate, tossed onto the middle of it with no real thought.We got two slices of their rosemary focaccia for an appetizer, and it tasted like they had thrown a bunch of rosemary onto the fire before they grilled it. The flavor of rosemary was almost overpowering, bordering on bitter. Good texture and crunch, but Jesus was it herby.We got their bucatini amatriciana to split as well, and here is where the ‘real’ review of their food begins.While the ingredients of the dish were all there, they weren’t really combined. The pasta was cooked well, but there was next to no starch in the actual pasta. This tells me one thing: cheap pasta. It felt as if they’re just ordering large quantities of pasta from Sysco, par cooking it before service, then reheating in boiling water to sell. As a result, the ingredients of the sauce; the tomatoes, the guanciale, and the pecorino cheese, didn’t really have anything to bond them together. The basis of flavor was there, but the execution and prep work kinda blew it. Could use more salt, as well.For mains, we had the lemon chicken piccata and the hunter’s chicken cacciatore.Chicken piccata was flavorful and cooked well. The lemon was bright and delicious, but the sauce had slightly split. This tells me it was either unattended to on the line, or it cooled down while waiting to be brought to the table. However, my issue with the pasta arises once more. It felt like the penne it was served with was par cooked prior to service, reheated, and dumped onto a plate with the piccata coming off of sauté and on top of it all. The lack of starch was apparent. The pasta and sauce weren’t married very effectively, and it felt like I had to dip the pasta in the sauce to get an effective bite. Flavors were good -fantastic even- but the execution is where it lacks.Cacciatore was delicious. Flavor was fantastic, and the chicken was juicy and tender. HOWEVER, the sauce was missing something. The flavors were there, but the texture fell short. The mushrooms were canned, or at least it felt like they were. Now, I understand it is impossible to acquire fresh porcini mushrooms year round, but this is where you have to ADAPT. If porcinis aren’t available, switch to a fresh mushroom you can get quickly. Cremini would be fine, and those things can grow year round indoors. The mushroom gravy was tasty, if a bit lacking in salt. But the real star of the show was the polenta. It was blended beautifully with the pecorino, and was light, creamy, and fluffy. Good stuff.Dessert was the panna cotta. No complaints. Tasty and delicious.Overall, I have one main criticism for Cibo Vino:Make your own pasta.The experience was lovely, but I can tell that the main focus of the restaurant is shifted towards the wine, considering the chef was sitting two tables over speaking to a pair of sommeliers/wine dealers(?) as opposed to running expo.The food feels like an afterthought. Like someone decided to open a wine bar but said: “I need to serve food too!” The menu is classic Italian pasta fare, and somehow, they’ve managed to just barely miss the mark.I will say again; Cibo Vino, make your own damn pasta.”
“Shhhhhhh!!!!! This place has the best salmon on the planet. They call it the Almond Crusted Salmon! It was the first thing I ever ordered at Wave and it's the last thing I'll ever eat at Wave. I was lucky enough to visit with the chef and was told it utilizes 3 separate cooking methods for 1 order of Salmon. Regardless, let me tell you, it's out of this world good. First of all, It's a giant slab of salmon. Thick cut and the fillet takes up some serious real estate on top of a bed of rice. It has just the right amount of teriyaki sauce that gets drizzled on top to provide some sweet salty flavors. The salmon comes out piping hot and is cooked to perfection- I love every bit of it. 10/10 for me”
“This is one of my favorite spots. Their patio is incredible with huge, warming fire pits. Everyone who works there is fun and knowledgeable. Their food - I literally never leave without getting the popcorn and spinach artichoke dip. But what surprised me most at first is their prices. They have a huge range in bottles priced from mid 10s and up. And those that are $10-$30 aren't your average cheap grocery wine. They're carefully curated and absolutely delicious!”
“Never have been but I was quite surprised. Good food and a good beer menu and I love the vibe. It’s nice that it’s in west Omaha too as I live about an hour away and it’s nice to have this closer to me.”
“The meatloaf sandwich was perfect - hot, saucy, flavorful, and unique. The unexpected default side of popcorn instead of potatoes of any type at all was not cool.”
“The blueberry poundcake is great, it's not too sweet and that really allows the blueberries come through naturally.Context: I've been coming here for 5+ years. The only times I don't like being here is right before showtimes at the Orpheum (check current shows to avoid the rush).They're not lacking for customers, and they have always, in my experience, delivered quality food and drinks. Their rotating menu selection is always a joy to look forward to.If you want to experience it more intimately/get a feel for it, go at around 5pm, on Sunday, or right after a showtime starts at the Orpheum.(Photos are of the mbti menu, the blueberry poundcake, and the tres leches.)”
“The steaks are amazing and the service was top notch, we were on the road all day when we found this place wish we had some in Minnesota me and my family would definitely be there frequently.......”
“Best spot for bubble tea and onigiri! I make sure to stop where whenever I am in town or even passing thru Omaha. This is probably my favorite place in Omaha given how often I come here. There is so much variety to their menu and they prolly have the best prices for bubble tea!”
“It was super busy when we went in, but they were handling it pretty well. Two of us got the wrong order, but we're not the type of people to fret about that. She did give us an additional meal for free, though, so that was really nice. Food and drinks were great - very creative menu. I'd definitely go back to try something new.”
“I wish I had taken photos! I have been hoping for a martini bar in Omaha for so long and Stuffed Olive delivered. I got the delicious chocolate cake martini and the crab Rangoon dip! Our server gave great recommendations and was so helpful! Super chic decor and dim lighting with the perfect amount of volume made this venue perfect! Not too loud, great vibe and great options!”
“Longstanding Omaha staple. Milton’s chicken is one of my favorite dishes anywhere. Generous portions of higher grade chicken served with asparagus, onions, and red peppers in a flavorful sauce. I do not include the mushrooms which come with the dish. Served with steamed rice and miso soup. Consistently a top notch meal at a reasonable price.”
“During our most recent visits to Omaha, we set out as usual to research and visit any potential stand out craft cocktail bars. My searches led us to a few places including The Berry & Rye.Our conclusion?The Berry & Rye was the most unique and exceptional craft cocktail bar we visited.It had a true unique and independent vibe, The decor was posh, swank and vibrantly eclectic and classy, the mixologist was super cool and chill, welcoming and hospitable, and talented and independently innovative.We enjoyed our craft cocktails; and then I enjoyed a pour of my favorite Italian digestíf (Braulio) afterwards.”
“This has quickly become our favorite place for pizza and wings. We just joined the VIP club as a result :) We've had several of their specialty pizzas and all have been great. The cream cheese pizza sauce is unique, the toppings are huge, everything has always tasted fresh and has a "homemade" feel to it.The wings... so I like a good hot wing. Their hot is HOT. Mild is like a medium in my opinion. The spicy BBQ, one of my faves, is either spicy or BAM YOU BETTER GRAB A DRINK.We ridiculously over-order here because we love the leftovers. That's high praise ???”
“I had gone to a bonefish in Chicago about 8yrs ago and wasn't impressed and then we received a gift card so we went again and our experience was great. Cocktails were well made and dinner was fantastic. Waiter recommendations and explanations were great.”
“Never been and still giving four stars for sure. I just tried some of their whiskey at a local bar in Sioux Falls and was absolutely dumbstruck I mean it's incredible. New top 3 for me. Good job.”
“Longhorn = "Our spot" for my family. Great food and service! All at a great price point. Our favorite server, of all time, Zach, remembers our favorite meals and drinks. Always has extra cherries ready for our little princess. Bravo Zach!! Great house old fashions as well.”
“Great place, great staff, and great food. Had a small mix up with what I ordered and what they brought me. They hold themselves to the highest standards and went the extra mile to ensure we had a great dining experience. Top notch service, highly recommended.”
“I wish I could give this place 6 stars!!! I was looking for a place to have a staff meeting after hours on a Tuesday and I sent messages from websites to multiple other wine joints and voicemails for those that didn't have a message option - I didn't even get a return call or message. BUT, when I called WineStyles - Ata answered the phone and assured me that we would have a space, appetizers, and wine available. It was AMAZING!! Ata and Nicole are knowledgeable and always looking for ways to make the experience more enjoyable. The food........make a reservation for Friday evening - you will be glad you did!!! There is a variety of seating options, cozy couches and chairs as well as community tables. I've made some amazing friends at WineStyles!!!”
“Strategically concealed between an unassuming Mexican restaurant and a cigar store, a tantalizing display of what's possible with flavor, lies behind 2 swinging glass doors.Greeted by a waitstaff that will eventually know you by name, you will find yourself seated in an environment that will only be out done by the cuisine.In years to come, you'll find yourself reminiscing on the day you first had their Pork Bibimbab. "...and the sushi? How did they pull that off?"-you'll think to yourself.Join the rest of us who have enhanced our, all-to-brief, human experience by dining at the Maru Sushi Korean Grill. Seize the day.”
“We had a wonderful time at the brewery. There was something for everyone. We had two toddlers and they even enjoyed being there. We cannot recommend the pizza enough. It was so delicious and super fast. I would recommend the Crab Rangoon pizza. It was much better than I ever expected. Would definitely go back to eat.”
“We always look for great places to eat when going out of town, and this may be the best we have chosen! Everything was unbelievably good. We had the fried tortellini bites as an appetizer and I had chicken Parmesean. Both were phenomenal. I can't recommend this place enough! The only thing slightly negative was the lighting in the place was bothering my eyes something fierce. Other than that, perfect experience!”
“First time dining here. Very impressed. Good service. Good menu. Very well done entrees. Thank you, chefs! I ordered a sirloin take-out for someone who couldn't dine there with us, and he was very impressed. Well done! And kudos to server Brittany.”
“Wow! Wow! Wow! One of the best restaurants I've ever been to! Amazing job Omaha! I don't often leave reviews but I had to, this was too amazing. And again, in Omaha!? What a time to be alive. So to get into it, the food was absolutely stellar, every single bite, and good reheated the next day still. The service was super wonderful, everyone very kind and helpful. Nice drinks, GF cider options as well. It's somewhat upscale, hardcover menus, desserts, the whole shebang. Honestly I would move to Omaha just to eat here again. The things we tried were: Buffalo cauliflower wings Poutine Oyster mushroom calamari Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich- GF Mac and Cheese Bowl w crispy fried tofu One last time- WOW! Thank you!”
“First time here and would go back. Service very good. Prime rib cooked way we ordered it, garlic mashed potatoes very good. Had portobello mushrooms as an appetizer. They were delicious, hot and received lots.”
“I've been meaning go visit this restaurant for quite some time and finally ended up in the neighborhood today, and decided to give it a try. I placed a pick up order and was pleasantly surprised. The place was nice, clean and had a dedicated pick up area upon entry. Service was quick and the ladies up front were very nice and showed me gratitude for patronizing their business. Now, as far as the food is concerned, like my kids say- THAT FOOD WAS BUSSIN! Worth EVERY penny! It was so good I smashed those meaty, succulent crab legs without as much as taking a break. I couldn't stop eating them! Easy to Crack open the meat came out in one piece so I could dip it in that yummy gravy.... oh boy! That's a place to celebrate special occasions and enjoy s great meal with the ones you love they will NOT be disappointed! I promise you will love this place. My new name for them is Crab GO!”
“Seared Tuna. Calamari. French Onion Soup. All paired with summer shandy. I'm a happy camper despite knowing the bill that is gonna land at my table. Everything was super fresh.”
“Got the shrooms pizza slice and the orange blossom and cucumber sparkler cocktails. Pizza was solid and the cocktails both wildly passed my expectations and were amazing.”
“They were very busy but there wasn't any delay in getting food. The manager on duty was even helping the wait staff. You don't always see that other places. The food was great. Salad was fresh.Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Kids get crayons and coloring sheets. Plenty of kids meals to choose from.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“Food was just okay. The burger was too well done for my taste and I wasn’t asked for a cooking temperature if that is normally an option. Cheese curds had a great batter and my Blueberry Mule was strong. Bartender wasn’t overly chatty but I was having a quiet dinner. He read that really well. His service with other guests was genuine and prompt.Overall an okay experience, I just know I can find better burgers in town.”
“Location and service was great and the food was pretty good . Didn’t give it 5 stars on food because. Few of the dishes flavor we slightly flat. Loved the Brussels / cauliflower / Mac but appetizer. Wailea chowder wasn’t very flavorful . Sea bass was ”
“Food was excellent. Tammy our waitress was wonderful! Haven’t been there in years but it didn’t disappoint! Had a large party and food was delivered quickly and was hot and delicious!”
“Eleyanna was awesome and extremely attentive during my visit. Food was well prepared and tasted great. The Scampi is a win every time and this Red Lobster location hasn't disappointed under the current manager of this location. They do an awesome job catering for events too!”
“The drinks were over the top tasteful! The service, even in the later evening was fantastic! The feel of the establishment was smooth, personable and quaint! Our bartender Natalie was very professional and made tasty drinks.”
“This wine bar exceeded all expectations! The wine menu is extensive, offering something for every palate, while the cocktail menu showcases creative concoctions worth savoring. As for the food menu, each dish is a masterpiece, from the mouthwatering bruschetta special to the tantalizing meat board. And the grand finale? The decadent truffle board paired with house-made ice cream is simply divine. What truly sets this place apart is the impeccable service—our bartender Dan was not only attentive but also incredibly personable, enhancing our overall experience. This wine bar is a must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure with top-notch hospitality.”
“Really chill vibe here, which was beguiling on arrival. It looks retro, throwback, 70s funk meets NY speakeasy. We didn't know what to expect, but this exceeded it.The cocktails were all pretty good and well-crafted, especially the mezcal-based one with thyme oil. Service was that middle distance where they mainly leave you alone but they're very helpful, friendly, and personal when they do engage. Music was fantastic. Exactly the right volume, with beats that made you feel alive and happy at an almost subconscious level. I'd be interested in stopping back in for some off the menu cocktails and see how those go. This could well be an under the radar 5-star lounge.”
“Tavern is a great vibe for all occasions. I usually do a Friday happy hour or weekend dinner here. Their espresso martinis are the best in town and the parmesan chicken is my favorite. They have a great variety of food and the atmosphere is definitely more upscale the name suggests.”
“Sam was an excellent server. Continued to check on us, food came out piping hot, waters stayed full. He was a joy every-time he came to check on us. Plus the food is delicious. Thanks Sam!”
“Everything was good. The food was, each dish was a bit dull. The boil had very little seasoning, jambalaya was dry and sticky, po boy good but not much flavor the cocktails were very heavy handed. The price point was very good. I would eat there again but just not set the bar so high.”
“Holy heck my mouth CAME with how good the food was. This place is an institution. This place is a holy site. This place should be protected at all costs. God bless.”
“What a great little find! Slow Wednesday night, Alicia my server was engaging and gave me the full backstory of the restauraunt and family. Great meal, and finished by a sublime piece of lemon cake, thank you Alicia for directing me that way. I love a place that feels comfortable and like home, even if its a quiet night. The food was wonderful but when you are on a 5 day business trip, connection matters just as much. I felt very welcome here!”
“Food is good but the portions are kind of small. I also don't like that I can't see my topping options like you can at most made to order sandwiches places.”
“Cole was the best beer tender and way to spend an evening. We were visiting from out of state (Mn) and can’t wait to come back. Hopefully another time when he is there! Thanks Cole! Was like chatting with one of our kids which made the night!!”
“This place knocked it out of the park last night. Place was jammed full with live music but the staff was rocking it. How they and the kitchen kept up was amazing. Food was great and out in no time. I am still amazed.”
“I have rarely had a dining experience so delightful. The service was in the top 5 experiences of my life. We didn't know what to expect and were blown away by the atmosphere and the entire staff who made us feel like VIPs. Can't recommend enough.”

“There’s a man here w a yellow vest dark blue shirt I think he’s part of the cleaning crew and this man is so kind, he got me socks for my kids to play in the play place, getting sauce for people, helping the food crew. Just a real kind man. He deserves a raise.”
“Awsome service, although there was only one employee there when my family and I arrived, she was assisting the customer that was ahead of us with atleast 3 sandwiches and then proceeded to serve us in a very professional manner and had a great attitude.”
“Stayed at the Motel 6 behind this specific Denny's and was more than happy to have a place within walking distance to eat at on Christmas Day! I'm a restaurant worker myself and both the service and the food, especially on a holiday was incredible. I ate here twice, once in the morning and then did a take out later that night and both were really good. I'd recommend this location any day. Great service, great food, and it was very nice inside.”

“Used to come here during my time as a grad student at Creighton nearly a decade ago after basketball games and on odd nights for affordable drinks in a friendly dive location. Since it is located away from the rest of downtown you come here for a more local flair and a traditional bar atmosphere. Recently was back in Omaha for a Jays basketball game and came here after the game - hasn’t changed a bit despite all that’s changed in the world. Happy Bar will always be an Omaha classic.”
“I wish I could give this place 6 stars!!! I was looking for a place to have a staff meeting after hours on a Tuesday and I sent messages from websites to multiple other wine joints and voicemails for those that didn't have a message option - I didn't even get a return call or message. BUT, when I called WineStyles - Ata answered the phone and assured me that we would have a space, appetizers, and wine available. It was AMAZING!! Ata and Nicole are knowledgeable and always looking for ways to make the experience more enjoyable. The food........make a reservation for Friday evening - you will be glad you did!!! There is a variety of seating options, cozy couches and chairs as well as community tables. I've made some amazing friends at WineStyles!!!”

“My hubby and I stopped here because we were hungry and looking for a quick dinner nearby. Jessica was our server and she was AMAZING. We had the pretzel appetizer with the beer cheese and I am so sad that they look it off the menu because it was the best thing ever. Next time we came here we brought our friends and had the goat cheese, AMAZING. Helen our server was an absolute gem. Her smile made me feel welcome and she was on top of it. Love it here and always a treat to come in.”
“Pot roast on the menu seemed a little odd, this not being a cafe...but I ordered it. Good thing the drink and company I enjoyed was far superior to the the beef!Another visit....had the Italiano pizza and loved the complex, yet delightful assault on my palette. Subtly spicy, sweet and tangy, it was a very well prepared pizza. The gentleman who served was attentive and courteous. Can't forget the atmosphere. Comfortable, cozy and classy.”

“Ridiculously delicious Ramen. Better than the place on Dodge and 72nd. Better than the place in Westroads mall. The broth is so good... ethereal... don't know what other word to use... high quality frrsh ingredients. For real, real gochujang. I know cause my momma is Korean. Good chewy noodles...Best I've had in Omaha! The fried Oreos an awesome dessert. Sinful... felt like I had to go to confession after eating. Staff is friendly and funny. Decor (gangster movies and rappers, with anime and toys) is kitschy and eccletic but not overdone. All in all...A GREAT dining experience! Highly recommend to all.”
“We have eaten at both locations. We went to the one in Old Market for their Easter buffet. It was outstanding. So much food to pick from and everything was delicious. Carving station with pork tenderloin and banana foster French toast. Salad table and a fruit and pastry table. Omelet station with tons of options. The main section had main courses plus numerous side dishes. Our server, Sam, was excellent. She was engaging, a delight to talk to and made sure we had whatever we needed. Definitely will return for the next buffet.”
“Beautiful space and the brunch burger was one of the best I have ever had. My son loved the chicken and waffles too and the service was prompt and friendly. Highly recommended.”

“WE LIVED FOR THIS PLACE!! The DJ, I cannot believe how superb his music choice was. My group was 60s to 21 and we all danced for hours. Melanie and Amber were fantastic waitresses. The drinks were GREAT prices and everyone was so friendly. The bartenders were so aware of the bar and assisting people the whole night. We ordered nachos and so tasty! We left and tried other places and STILL came back here. I travel a lot and would have to say this was hands down my favorite spot to dance and drink!”
“A wonderful new spot in West Omaha! The food was fantastic, and our family is excited for many more delightful visits. The staff's warm welcome made us feel instantly at home.”

“I wish I had taken photos! I have been hoping for a martini bar in Omaha for so long and Stuffed Olive delivered. I got the delicious chocolate cake martini and the crab Rangoon dip! Our server gave great recommendations and was so helpful! Super chic decor and dim lighting with the perfect amount of volume made this venue perfect! Not too loud, great vibe and great options!”
“I went there yesterday when we couldn't get into the Taphouse for lunch with a group of colleagues. It was so good I went back today. Very high quality food, and big portions, delicious. My only suggestion is maybe the name/branding isn't great - I work across the street and walked by many times and just thought it was a cafeteria-style place where I was going to get mashed potatoes, green beans, etc. Had no idea is was a quality 'bowl' place! Very clean inside and friendly too; but can't say it has atmosphere though.”
“OMG YALL! I have not had tamales this good since I moved here from Colorado!! I ordered the chicken green chili and I could cry these are so good, and spicy! And the churro cheesecake is incredible. The ladies that helped me were warm and welcoming also. I wish you all the best in business and thank you for sharing your food with us!”
“First timer to Culver's, on a Friday night mistake #1, it was crowded/ busy, the service and the food came out fast. However I was not impressed with the Mushroom/ swiss burger, it was soggy, soaked in gravy and the flavors were good but way too greasy.I'm going to try again, but I'll be awhile.”
“Amazing!!! Got the lamb and rice and it was delicious. My family went on a vacation to NYC last summer and fell in love with lamb and rice from the food trucks. We were so excited to try this place!”
“This is a great wingstop location. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. The location is clean and inviting. The food is delicious, I wish the chicken had extra seasoning, but I understand not everyone likes as much seasoning so I ask for extra. Their chicken sandwich is excellent in portion and I usually go without bread, but the bread is toasted and gets some of the delicious seasoning on it. The hot honey rub is phenomenal! Get it while they have it! Their ranch is also excellent!”
“Loved all the food. Our first waitress was either super busy or did not pay attention. Another young man seen us looking lost and helped us. He was amazing. I don't want to butcher his name but started with a J. Great place will be returning for another sushi boat.”
