New American Restaurants in Omaha, NE

“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!!“

“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.“

“Extraordinary mission with good food.“

“Circo is fantastic and an instant new favorite for my wife and I. Food, drinks, atmosphere and service were all excellent. The cocktails are very well balanced. We will be back soon.“

“One of the best Rueben's I have had! Service was absolutely wonderful!“

“Today was our first time here, it was absolutely incredible! The food was well above my expectations, every bite was delectable! The staff was so wonderful and Troy (our waiter) even took great care to speak toto my very young children and took the time to hear what they had to say. I will come back here every chance I get!“

“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!“

“they were at the late night at the zoo and barely an hour into the event they started crossing off items on the menu due to not being prepared for the size of crowd. The guy at the window seemed like he could careless to be there. I also understand that its a larger event but having to wait 20+ mins for simple loaded fries is ridiculous. After 25 mins i ended up getting a refund. Im not usually one to leave bad reviews, but felt this one was needed.“

“If there was room for one more category I would say very friendly atmosphere, great food, phenomenal cooks, they are like a family, definitely coming back!! It’s worth it!!“

“Head Chef/Owner Anthony Kueper has set the bar high for other Omaha restaurants. His food is flavorful and unique. Chef Anthony has clearly honed his craft and deserves all the praise that can be mustered. Prices are excellent considering the quality of food and service. The unimposing facade of the building doesn't prepare you for the quaint elegance inside. You will not be disappointed with your experience here, regardless of which menu item you select. You really can't go wrong letting Chef surprise you with his tasting menu, either.“

“Amazing steaks, seafood, and service!“

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

“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!“

“Hidden gem! It’s got that small town feel with extremely friendly customer service. The food was excellent at a good price. We will definitely be returning.“

“One of my top restaurants in Omaha! I love the atmosphere. Service is always great. The menu seems to rotate regularly to keep it interesting. Fabulous food. Wonderful cocktails. And, of course, MOMOS!! 🙌“

“Very friendly staff and AMAZINGGGGGGGG food of whatever you are craving. We ABSOLUTELY will be a regular customer!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“food is awesome!!! Definitely worth the 2 hr drive. me and the hubby went this weekend, our first time there on Sunday, and we've been talking about "we need to go back to make sure" since lol“

“Love Nosh wine lounge! Great food, great service and the perfect atmosphere! You are missing out if you have not been!!“

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

“Great food and attentive staff!“

“I had introduced friends of mine to beacon hills, since then the only restaurant they want to visit each time we are in Omaha. We have a variety of items. A couple of our favorites are the chicken pot pie and roast beef sandwich with all the sides. Plenty to take home!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped in for a quick nightcap. Met Katrina, and started talking about bourbon. She knows her bourbon! Made a few great manhattans and talked me into some new brands. Had so much fun we came back the next night and did it again! Thanks Kat for making it a great trip!“

“Came here with the squad after a Fortnite win. If I could rate it out of ten I would rate it 6.7 stars. First of all they had the chiefs game on and I hate Taylor Swift. The waiters to friendly and the food was to good but there was small portion sizes. The lemonade tasted like water lemon and sugar. The music was a little too loud and they refused to change the channel. But they also do not have ice cream which is a must have. Overall a positive elixir trade.“

“Great craft beer selection and awesome food!“

“My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary by staying at the Marriott in Regency. We decided to eat at the onsite restaurant and were so fortunate we did because the food and service were wonderful! I had the chicken, and my husband ordered the tacos. Both were spectacular. The presentation was wonderful, and the taste was magnificent! Highly recommend!“

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

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

“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.“

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

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

“Burger was on point I will be back“

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

“Wonderful service and delicious food! The blackened Mahi, stoned ground goat cheese grits and bacon braised collards were amazing! And the boozy turkey was one of the best old fashions I’ve ever had.“

“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.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, food and wait staff! We enjoyed the menu variety for appetizers and entrees before our Christmas concert. Wait staff incredibly helpful with the menu and we were served promptly eventhough several large groups were ahead of us. ZINC is a gem!“

“My singular experience was pleasant. I sat at the bar, and even though there were many small groups around it me, it was still a quiet environment. The music volume was very low, I can't tell you how much I loved that aspect. The bartender was a total pro. My food was delivered quickly and was excellent. I had the goat cheese balls. They were so amazing I pretty much inhaled them. Then I ordered the grilled salmon salad and oh my stars and garters, it was exquisite. I have attached a photo of said salad.“

“Fun family atmosphere!!!!“

“Great food and service…..“

“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!“

“Yum! Great food, love the bread!“

“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.“
