“Shelley taught a cooking class in my home for a milestone birthday. We had such a great time, learned a lot, and made a mess! All of which MJER Help cleaned up. Came away with great memories and great recipes.“

“We got a few appetizers and entrees. The flavors of everything was spectacular. I was completely blown away by the flavors of even the small sides. The cole slaw was amazing, I would take a bucket of it to go. The fried chicken platter is to die for. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-27“

“My wife and I were in town for the "Beyond Van Gogh" exhibit at the Mid-America Center. Afterward, we looked up restaurants near us and chose La Sierra because several reviews mentioned authentic cuisine. We were not misled. The menu is small and straight forward. Pick your fillings and choose it in either a gordita, burrito, quesadilla or on a plate. We both got selections as gorditas. My wife ordered: Asado De Puerco, Picadillo Verde and Picadillo Rojo. I ordered: Papas Con Carne, Papas Con Chorizo and Deshabrada. I also wound up getting a burrito with Machaca. All the meats were seasoned nicely and delicious. Both the verde and rojo salsas they brought out enhanced the food. The rojo does have a kick (same sauce as in the Desshbrada) but the heat didn't linger so eating it was enjoyable. The margarita I ordered was delicious, made with real lime juice. Some people might complain because it is regular sized, served in a glass roughly the size of a martini glass. It isn't a gigantic gimmick you find in a lot of American-Mexican restaurants. It hit the spot! The fruit empanadas were lovely, the crust similar to a sugar cookie with strawberry or apricot. We tried both and thought the apricot won by a hair. Its sweet flavor was slightly stronger than the strawberry. The service was excellent, both our server and the gentleman from the kitchen (maybe owner) who brought out food to the table were extremely friendly and a pleasure to speak with. We've marked La Sierra in our "must do again" list and when we care back in Omaha, we will be stopping in.“

“Ordered the seafood platter, hush puppies, lobster and shrimp pasta. Everything was so tasty! Hush puppies were basically fried jalapeño cornbread balls and perfectly crunchy and fluffy. High quality seafood. I highly recommend this place.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting for the first time for brunch today, and I can confidently say the service was amazing! Our waitress was phenomenal—I'm so sorry I don’t remember your name, but I truly owe you more for making the experience so memorable. Highly, highly recommend this place! The food was absolutely astronomical, and the drinks were perfect. The coffee was out of this world, too—hands down the best meal I've had in a long time. The overall atmosphere was so comfy, cozy, and relaxed—it’s the perfect spot to unwind. I’ll definitely be back!“

“My mom and I were on a Plant adventure, and found this adorable coffee shop. The plants were beautiful and atmosphere was layed back. The house chai is absolutely delicious, and the breakfaat was great! I would highly recommend! we will be back next time!“

“If you are in the Benson area please stop by! You won’t be disappointed! Food Drinks Desserts to die for !!!“

“Love it! The food was amazing!“

“My husband and I have been coming here since they opened. It’s one of our favorite places in Omaha. We are extra happy that our kids love it too! Our favorite is the vegetarian combo and the gored gored platter. My kids love the yellow and green lentils the most as they have the least amount of spice. Omaha is so lucky to have such a great place to enjoy!“

“The atmosphere was amazing, I was with my husband and kids, my children behaved well because, they felt the elegant atmosphere and they even ate all their veggies, the shareable plate was great for me and my 10 year old and 3 year old. The waiter treated us so well! Even boxed my 3 years olds doggie bag as she politely requested! We all felt seen and, appreciated. 10/10 will be returning! Thank you“

“All menu options are amazing from soups to pizza, meatballs & I could make a meal out of the appetizers too. Always delicious & very generous portions. Yum-yum!“

“VegEdible is our go-to vegan spot whenever we’re in Omaha. The restaurant’s location is convenient, and the menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of delicious options. Despite being gluten-free, the food is still incredibly tasty. I highly recommend VegEdible!“

“I've never had a better breakfast burrito! Amazing!! Our server Chrissi couldn't have been any better. Her courteous, attentive and kind demeanor made a fantastic breakfast into an exceptional one. KUDOS!! Will always visit when back in town.“

“This family owned gem is my pick for best vegan food in Omaha. It's obvious, each dish is welll thought out with the perfect mix of taste and textures. I never have to feel guilty after enjoying one of their delicious and beautifully presented heathy creations.“

“A Total Vegan Oasis in Omaha!
I cannot say enough good things about Amateur Coffee. Finding a 100% vegan shop that is this high-quality felt like finding a little oasis.

Here is why you need to go:
The Food & Drink: Both the coffee and the waffles were absolute works of art—and they tasted even better than they looked! Everything is handmade and delicious, with incredible gluten-free options that didn't feel like an afterthought.
Planet First: I was so impressed by their commitment to being minimal waste. They use reusable cups for to-go orders (or you can bring your own). It’s clear they deeply care about the earth and their impact on it.
The Vibe: The atmosphere is thoughtful, kind, and fun. You can tell they love people just as much as they love the planet.

Special Shoutout to David: David, is truly the best type of human. He was so kind and caring, taking the time to make us feel like important humans rather than just another transaction. He gave us fantastic suggestions for exploring Omaha and tips on which parts of the zoo to hit!

My only complaint? I don’t live next door! If you are in Omaha, this is a must-visit.

Thank you for filling our souls with joy while we visited Omaha!
We appreciate you!“

“Block 16 is a culinary gem in Omaha that truly showcases the power of innovative street food! This casual eatery has a lively atmosphere that invites you to enjoy bold flavors and unique dishes.

The menu is packed with mouthwatering options, and everything is made from fresh, high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend the pork belly bao, which is absolutely delicious—a perfect balance of savory and sweet, with a delightful crunch. The cheeseburger is another must-try; it’s juicy and full of flavor, served with crispy fries that are hard to resist.

Block 16 also offers a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, ensuring everyone can find something they love. The veggie po'boy is a fantastic choice, overflowing with fresh vegetables and tasty sauces.

The drink menu features a nice selection of local craft beers and creative cocktails. I enjoyed the signature cocktails, which are inventive and refreshing.

Service is attentive and friendly, with staff that genuinely care about your experience. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Block 16 is a must-visit for anyone looking for great food in Omaha!“

“Went here today to try out their newest seasonal beers and omg! This is the ONLY place where I will drink a sour. Their cranberry sour was amazing. The Pecan Pie Brown Ale and the Stuffing beer were also very good. And it’s so nice that they have a couple of dairy/meat free options on their menu. We love this place!“

“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.“

“Sweet magnolias was the perfect place for us to purchase our wedding cake! We were able to get a sample box which we used to make a cute little date for the two of us. It was so hard deciding which flavor to choose because each one was so amazing. Sweet Magnolia’s accommodated my husband and I by recreating a photo we had found on Pinterest. It was so perfect and delicious!“

“I went in last week with my 2 year old son. We had had a crazy morning and he was still hungry and asking for something to eat. The kind gals working just gave him some donut holes for free while I was ordering my drink. They were super friendly and nice!“

“Went today for the first time with my two kids. They were super busy but the woman taking drive thru orders and counter order went above and beyond with customer service and so helpful getting us what we wanted! She took time to describe each item and even went over the vegan options. Then the food WOW!! Naan is superb, kofta was amazing!!! Will definitely come back even though it’s a far drive… thank you for a great experience“

“This place is freaking delicious. And the bang for your buck is top-notch! Get here!“

“Managed to get to Kinaara twice this week. This place is highly recommended. I’m slowly working my way around the menu. Please get the tandoori wings and the masala fries you won’t regret it!!“

“If you’ve been even thinking of trying this place out…GO! The food is absolutely amazing, amazing service and they are very considerate of food aversions! Chef’s kiss 😘“

“Cute place with plenty of seating. We were able to make a reservation online and get right in with two adults and a high chair. The waitress we had was very friendly and did a great job answering any questions and explaining the menu. We had the crab rangoons, everything smoked salmon, and 3 sushi rolls…all were delicious. We both really enjoyed our drinks as well. I would return!“

“I could say the amazing food that Puddin’s kitchen delivers or the beer selection… but even though those are two amazing aspects of Wilson & Washburn… it’s the staff and owner that sets this place apart. An owner that loves his craft, a kitchen staff that is passionate about the food they make and that it is quality, the bar and wait staff that see you as more than a customer. Best Bar in Omaha!!!“

“Devout customer and fan for many years. I recently had the avocado salad, sashimi scallop and white tuna. Such a feast for the senses. Always stellar consistency.“

“Been eating here for years and it’s some of the best Thai food I have had.“

“We went for our anniversary. The owner was wonderful. He made a special sushi roll for us . I brought food for our 6 month old( she is a very good happy baby no issues taking her to a proper restaurant), they provided a couple fresh items that was suitable for her to eat. I don't care for green tea, and since I nurse I wasn't drinking alcohol, the owner made a pea flower special blend tea not on the menu. He also gave us card signed by all the staff for our anniversary. It was a wonderful evening.“

“Food was amazing! Very cool atmosphere!“

“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. 😊“

“The food was fantastic -- outstanding grilled fish, shrimp and tacos. Well worth a visit. And ask for Maggie -- a terrific server who made dinner even more enjoyable!“

“The Butter chicken and garlic naan were awesome! Great spice level too!“

“Delicious food and the best staff in the world.“

“Drunken noodles are the best in town. every dish I've had here is wonderful. appetizers are also great. great value, clean, outgoingly friendly. #1Thai in town for me.“

“everything was absolutely delicious my mom won the tickets it was a great experience the owner was very nice and helped us decide what to get I definitely recommended and will be back the southern peach was delicious“

“Lobster and shrimp tacos were great, dipping sauce was awesome, salsa trio was fantastic, margaritas were delicious, and our server did a great job. I stopped here after a 6 hour drive and it totally exceeded my expectations.“

“Cool vibes and delicious dumplings! What more could you want?!“

“I am so happy! I had a migraine from hell today and needed food…the Doordash location (not this location but the one in the mall) forgot my sauces… I called, chaotically I’m sure- I’m cranky from this migraine, and they were so sweet. I asked if I could grab sauces after my work shift since they’re in walking distance, and they walked them to me for lunch instead!!Best customer service ever! Now I don’t have to wait until 6 to eat :) I’m so happy this review needs like a million more !!!! marks. Thank you everyone!“
