“Jonesys has the absolute greatest tacos ever. I drive clear cross Omaha to this location just to get some amazing service and food every single time. Thank you so much to the team, the entire team, for all that they do. Amazing place. Highly recommend them.”

“Catered my daughter's graduation party and the food was fantastic! Service was super friendly and went out of their way to accommodate everyone's requests. A lot of people at the party raved to me about the food. So glad we had them cater and highly recommend for anyone looking for food ideas.”

“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.”

“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..”

“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.”

“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 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!”

“Best burger in Omaha area. Make your own burger w many of options and awesome fries. Walked in at 8:40 and they still served me when they were closing up. Highly recommend!”

“Hands-down, the best ice cream experience I’ve ever had. There’s always a line, but it’s always worth the wait. I am far from vegan, but the vegan golden milk is something I highly recommend!Vegetarian options: They have a number of vegan options that are all wonderful.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Their cookies are amazing and such a good atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: Their atmosphere for kids is amazing. They allow others to watch make the cookies. This can help kids learn and watch. They allow you to choose what cookies you want and has in person cookies that show you what they actually look like outside of the online picture.”

“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”

“Well worth the drive from the other side of the city into the suburbs for this delicious food.We ordered the sesame chicken and cashew chicken because if a place can f these dishes up then the rest of the food is no good BUT in no way is this food messed up , it was great.Sesame Chicken - the right balance of savory sweet zing with a subtle tang that hits you at the same time sesame flavor does . The chicken is almost perfectly breaded not to thick of a coat and not to thin and good sized chickenCashew Chicken - almost just the right amount of savory without it being too salty then you get hit with a subtle sweet , then the celery and onion flavor sneaks up on you that only comes from making a aeromatic oil .Once again worth the drive from the other side of town and we have been looking for a new place since Beijing Gate closed down”

“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.”

“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.”

“We are huge Greek food fans. My husband found this highly recommended Greek restaurant and we knew we had to check it out. We could not find it at first as there are no signs outside advertising, but it’s easy to find once you go into the Grace church. The food is the best Greek food I’ve ever had! The slouvaki is to die for! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, & the atmosphere warm and comfortable. I always look forward to going here!”

“Best ice cream I have ever had!All of it is homemade and there are always multiple special flavors!It is incredibly cheap for how good it is.I would recommend this to anyone.”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Seven One Two . We can't rate them high enough. Food, service and overall quality are excellent. Details below. To start off, I'm in a wheelchair. Most places that are accessible will watch my wife struggle to get through the door or a customer will help. Not the case here. My wife was about to grab for the door and one of the staff was right there, with a smile. We were seated immediately, out of the way, but not hidden in the corner. Our server, Sheree, was awesome. She answered our questions and explained the specials. She returned appropriately fast to take our order. Being about 2/3 full, I was expecting a bit of a wait, but our drinks were brought out quickly. The food is excellent. Expect it to be what the menu says it will be, not what you want or think it might be. We had the crab cakes for our appetizer. It had a good amount of crab and not all bread crumbs. My wife had the peach flatbread. Exactly what the menu said it would be and delicious. I had the beef stroganoff. After a little hiccup, it was as ordered and very yummy. We were disappointed that we didn't have room for a dessert, but we will make sure to leave room in the future. When we were leaving, 2 staff members were headed to open the door for us. Checking out their Facebook page, we will be back for the wine and flatbread special soon.”

“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. Will be going every time I visit Omaha.Spicy Kaluna Crunch: 10/10Cowgirl + unami: 10/10Thai hippie: 10/10Vegetarian options: Vegan menu is excellent.”

“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.”

“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!”
