“I like going to the Isla Del Mar because the food is very delicious and tasteful, and most especially a waiter named patty because she is very nice and caring :)”
“I have been here twice and each time the food has been to die for! The atmosphere is very sexy, the bar is stunning with the ginkgo tree and the service is impeccable! I will be back with my husband soon!”
“Chill spot with great pizza and drinks. I will try all the pizzas eventually. Delicious.”
“Don’t get here too much but every time it’s always so good. Always try to taste something new!”
“Fresh ingredients, lovely atmosphere, very nice waitstaff. We had a group of six for lunch and everything was delicious. We ordered the spread plate (yum), just about all of the mezzes (super yum) and the salmon to share (divine)! Every bite was flavorful and each dish was beautifully plated. The beef dumplings, eggplant, and beets were all favorites. Tequila cocktail with pomegranate was just lovely. Everything was just SO good. Will be returning.”

“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!”
“We had an excellent experience at Yoshitomo! Both the classic nigiri and the more fusion inspired dishes are delicious. Our server, Zack, was so friendly and helped us with some fantastic sake recommendations! We literally ate until we were full and then some. Didn’t get enough pictures because the food was too busy getting eaten. Completely satisfied. Would definitely recommend going!”

“Delicious food even togo. Cashew chicken, 7 spice.”
“From start to finish….our meal was amazing! I am from south Louisiana and I have never had as good a meal as I did today. I chose the Eggplant Parmigiana and it’s the best I’ve ever had. We shared the spicy Calamari and a Spezia Salad. I won’t soon forget my experience at Spezia. And I cannot wait to return. My sincere compliments to the chef. Lastly, Bailey (our waitress) was so accommodating with such an adorable personality. I give this dining experience 5 Stars.”
“food and atmosphere where great. wonderful creative combo. not a cheap place but food and service were worth it.”

“I came here on a recommendation and was impressed. I have not been in a real italian deli in a long time and wqs able to visit with the wonderful employees and customers. I felt at home here and we left with some great food and some knowledge of the local Italian American history.”
“omg it's about time. finally went to a place that I didn't really hear about from anybody and it is freaking amazing! everyone has got to go here and try this stuff. high quality. great service. good prices. I get so tired of hearing about all this crap in Benson or Blackstone area. people are hyped up about it. you go and it pretty much sucks for twice as costly as it should be. I highly recommend anybody bringing their friends and family here and trying the different items. I trade eight different items on the menu and they were all amazing”
“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!”
“I love Reis' Bakery! I am a foodie and I have not had anything I did not like. Everything is made fresh daily. They use the best ingredients too. My favorites include, the pretzel bread (I forget the name, but I love it), bacon cheddar loaf, the croissant sandwich, cherry cheese baskets and cruffins! The family is so super nice. I hope they stay around for a long time!”
“The best part of the night was Elton, our incredible server. So attentive, very engaging, pleasant and kind, a true professional. Carraba’s is very lucky to have him!”
“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Le Voltaire last night. It was our first time at the restaurant. We WILL be going back! The food was insanely delicious. When we took the first bites of our dishes (appetizers and entrees), my husband and I both closed our eyes and chewed in silence. Ha! Sadly, we couldn't stay for dessert as we didn't have enough time before our next scheduled event. The whole staff was genuinely welcoming. But our server, Lisa, was the absolute best! She was friendly and downright adorable. I'm sure all the other servers are great, but I would ask for Lisa when we go back. She helped make our experience that much more enjoyable.”
“We had an amazing experience at Ooh De Lally, the service was impeccable and everyone’s food at our table tasted incredible! Highly recommend the lobster roll and the crab and sweet corn croquettes. 10/10 all around and will definitely make this a regular stop when we are in town!”

“Bre was very patient, kind and helpful with us. She heard our grandson repeat crackers when she was talking to another person at the table who need crackers for their crab legs and when she brought those she also brought our grandson some crackers to eat. It was very sweet of her.
Parking: Plenty of parking
Kid-friendliness: Our waitress Bre was very helpful by bringing a bowl of cherries for our grandson. She spent time talking to him. She did a great job.”
“We like Koji, however we went for dinner there last night and was pretty disappointed with a couple of the items we had. The octopus was very rubbery and with out the sauce we would not have been able to eat it. The pork belles buns were also disappointing, the pork belles were way too thick and was under cooked to my liking and lacked flavor. The banzai, and sushi we had was great. We will go back but will stick with sushi.”
“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!”
“Took my wife here for our anniversary. Food was awesome, service was incredible! Only problem was they ran out of the chocolate cake! Lol, we’ll definitely be back!”
“My family just ate there for brunch on Sunday, the food was absolutely amazing, the waitress was so sweet. We ordered so many things from the menu and every single thing was delicious and great presentation. Outdoor patio was beautiful and clean to set at. I would highly recommend.”

“It was there in the morning,e we were waiting on a plane to arrive. I ordered the sampler appetizer, two of the three items were pretty good the thyroid was extremely over cooked. When mentioned nothing was done. I was too tired to push the issue so the chicken was untouched. The waitress was nice but overwhelmed due to the fact she was the only one.”
“I placed an order for birthday donuts for my son. I spoke with Lindsey who was extremely friendly and helpful. When I picked the donuts up the night before my son’s birthday (at a different Hurts donut location) they were not what I expected. I called Lindsey as I thought maybe there was confusion with the order. She went above and beyond and not only replaced the donuts but had them brought directly to us (and we aren’t located close to the store). When I opened the new box of donuts I cried because I was so overwhelmed with her and her staff doing everything they could to make the situation right and to ensure my kiddo woke up to some amazing personalized donuts.”
“I’m not normally out at 2am and buying fast food, but staying in the Comfort Inn has my schedule a little off this week. So when I woke up I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, or where I was going to go, and I went next door to Burger King on a whim (at 2:30am on December 19th). I had the best interaction with the young man working the window. His attitude was outstanding, and should be the standard by which all your other employees work your windows. Seriously, that part is lacking in most of my other Burger King experiences during the day, and it was notable enough to type out a review for him at 3am before I go back to sleep! My best advice to you is to promote that man, and pay him well.”
“If you want a Smash burger go here late at night when Zack and Maria are managing and working the grill. If Sonic wants to teach other stores how to do this burger right talk to these two!!!! I go to other sonics even this sonic and every time I'm disappointed. But man!!!! When Maria makes our Smash Burgers they are Amazing.”
“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 want to say thank you to E the manager for having great customer service and showing my children that there is very nice people out there in the world. This gentlemen was very respectful, food was served quickly and he went beyond his duties to make sure my 4 children and 2 extra children had a good time at Burger King. My children left Burger King all excited saying they were going to tell their friends about E how nice he is. Thank you E for everything you did that day and even through you guys were short staff you took the time to take care of us.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you haven’t been to Dirty Birds yet, stop what you’re doing and get there ASAP. We stopped in for the first time tonight, and wow—where has this place been all my life?! First off, the service: Absolutely top-tier. The staff wasn’t just friendly; they were genuinely happy we were there. You can feel the good vibes as soon as you walk in. Now, the food—oh man, the food. I went with the OG Chicken Sandwich, and it was a beast. Massive, perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor. The fries? Golden, crispy perfection. And don’t even get me started on the chicken tenders—juicy, flavorful, and hands-down some of the best I’ve had. This place is a 10/10, no notes, must-try situation. If you love great food, great people, and leaving a restaurant already planning your next visit, Dirty Birds is the spot. We’ll be back for sure!”
“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.”
“The food was fantastic!!! Great service with a very friendly staff. We wanted BBQ and found this place on FB. We were going to be in Omaha this last Saturday and decided to stop by. Glad we did. It was SO good. You owe it to your taste buds to try their food. I had the spare ribs and the wife had brisket and we walked out so full. Thanks again Smokin Barrel for the great experience!”

“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!!”
“My fiancé made reservations for my birthday! It was super special! We sat at the bar until our table was ready! The bartender was awesome! Super knowledgeable and it was apparent she loved her job! When we were seated at our table, we were seated at the Brother’s table room. Each room has a different theme. The setting was very intimate and romantic. I ordered the Filet Sebastian and Jeremy ordered the New York Pepper Strip. The meals were AMAZING! The adult drinks were yummy and for dessert, we ordered the flamming baked Alaska! Everything was perfect and our waitress was super friendly! It was the best Birthday dinner I ever had! I would recommend this restaurant a million times over! You will not be disappointed! Thank you to all of the staff that made my birthday dinner special!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Delicious food. They have a simple menu and they do all of it very well. I think I’ve tried about half their menu at this point and it’s all delicious. I’m a Tonkatsu purist and theirs is the best in town. I like that they give you garlic and ginger on the side (I love garlic but I’m not wild about ginger in most of the broth options). Their marinated eggs are the absolute best in town - I think they must do it longer and/or stronger because it has a much stronger flavor that stands up well to the ramen. I also really enjoy their sides - especially their gyoza.”
“Without doubt the finest coffee emporium on the continent of the 50 states of this fine nation.
Worth flying in from NC for…and walking 25 mins from my hotel in -12F, for the 2 mornings I’m visiting my favorite city!
Greg is a National Coffee Treasure.
The Hostest with the Mostest!
All hail Howlin’ Hounds!
Owwwwwwwwooo!”
“Taste of Heaven’s food was so amazing and delicious! Our Juneteenth celebration was a success in part because of the great food! The Jerk chicken, cabbage, and Mac & cheese was so good! Everyone loved it! Thank you!!!!”
“Whoever said customer service is gone has not worked with general manager Roland!! He was absolutely amazing! Despite it being a very busy evening, he saved the day when I booked the wrong date in Open table for 14 people!!! Instead of turning us away (like he had every right to do!) he went out of his way to come up with a creative solution and seat us! I cannot say enough about the extra mile this man went to help me!!! And then to top it all off the food and service were amazing! They have some fun multicourse options as well as anything else you could imagine. My son said the scallops were the best he had ever had!”
“I googled “cool coffee shop” and found this cute place. Of note there is a drive through right in the front by the door. Tons of latte flavors to choose from, a few pastry items and you can’t leave without buying a bag of their coffee. Tons of flavors of those as well to chose from.”
“Came here to do some late night work and ordered the Santa Fe Chicken sandwich which normally comes with chips. I asked if could just leave the bag of chips with them because I can’t have chips and they offered to get me a different side and accommodated me above and beyond what they needed to! <3”
“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!”
“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!”
Fine Dining
“I thoroughly enjoyed the remarkable freshness of the fish and the unique experience of watching the chefs skillfully craft each piece of sushi. Without question, it is the finest and most exquisite sushi offering one can find in Omaha. However, while the quality of the food was outstanding, I am unsure if this was the best omakase experience I’ve ever had.
Omakase is meant to be a holistic experience, not just about the sushi itself but the ambiance and the overall atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in this regard. The setting, though intimate, was disrupted by two couples whose loud, rowdy conversations overtook the compact space. Despite asking the server if anything could be done, the response was, “we will try,” which turned out no meaningful action was taken. This left the environment feeling like a chaotic bar and far from the serene, harmonious experiences I’ve had in Japan, where sushi can be savored in a tranquil setting.
Additionally, a 22% gratuity was added automatically, which didn’t sit well with us given the overall experience.
In conclusion, while the fish was undeniably fresh and the sushi among the best you can find in Omaha—perhaps the only truly authentic omakase experience in Nebraska—the lack of a more curated and serene atmosphere made it difficult for me to be fully satisfied.”
“I’ve just recently moved to the Omaha area and have been exploring all of the food spots. Dynamite was recommended by a friend, so I took my daughter here for a special evening. Every single part about this place was thoughtful. The staff, the decor, most importantly, the food. It was an experience for us for sure. The chef was engaging and the food he brought us was incredible. Different levels of flavor and much appreciated on a cold day. The two working the grill cooked the best steak I’ve ever had, which is something to me. The individual waiting on our table was amazing as well. Very seriously, everything was perfection for us, so thank you.”
“Stopped in while in town visiting the in-laws and needing to kill some time while the family was busy. Had a pair of house drinks and they were absolutely delightful. 10/10 on presentation, taste, atmosphere, and staff.”
Cheap Eats
“I never eat any pastries like this one; it reminds me of exactly the one in Europe; I feel I never left France. If you try it one time, you will never go back and buy any other pastry. I love coming on the weekend and getting the croissant and petit pain au chocolate, fresh from the day. Thank you, Grand Patisserie.”
“I love all of the speakeasy establishments that this company has to offer....Alice is The Wicked Rabbit but larger. Staff is more than willing to make you feel welcome. Mixologist bartenders that are younger. Get ready to be transported into a rabbit hole of an adventure. Had my Tarrot read last week. Drinks are well made. Nice place to escape this from world for awhile.”
“We live close to Omaha tap house pepperwood and love love love their food and their service is top notch!!! As with any restaurant sometimes you’ll get something that isn’t quite right and they always seem to take care of their customers 5/5 stars! One of my favorite places in town to eat and the best burgers and wings around! Thank you again for being part of our community!!!”
“HUGE selection of pastries and sweets! The staff is super friendly and helpful. You grab a tray and fill it up with everything you could possibly want, then get in line and checkout. We also got hot chocolate and a mocha and loved it!
The donuts practically melt in your mouth!”

“We had a French cuisine prepared by one of their Culinary School students and a pastry chef student it was amazing!”
“Cozy place ♥️ Amazing six course chef’s tasting menu 🥰 Definitely we will come back!”
“We hosted a private show with The Dinner Detective for our wedding rehearsal dinner, and they put together a night we will not soon forget! The professional and talented group of actors delivered a multi-layered, hilarious, and engaging murder mystery. The event was perfectly organized, staff were responsive to all of our questions and requests, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our guests had a fantastic time as they were seamlessly integrated into the show, and it was a wonderful way to kick off our wedding celebration. I would highly recommend The Dinner Detective for a unique and entertaining event.”
“I finally went to Lyle's on Thursday after hearing nothing but great reviews. It was so good that I ordered to go on Sunday!! I'm always dubious about trying a new pizza place because I am celiac and most smaller local places don't have an alternative other than a cauliflower crust. So, I was unbelievably impressed with their non cauliflower gluten free crust......it is the BEST gluten free crust that I've ever had! Staff is great and super polite and efficient. The whole place is a win”
“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.”
“I had heard about Plank from an article on IHeart.com and thought of giving it a try. so for lunch I called in an order for take out and the gal on the phone we professional and took my order quickly and by the time I got there form Metro Fort campus it was ready. Plank definitely earned Best seafood in Nebraska.”
“♥️ thank you for making my bday weekend special! Absolutely loved it! 🥰”
“OH MY GOD! Can't speaking highly enough of this establishment. What an amazing experience and the food was absolutely delicious! If you haven't been you need to go! Thanks for a great b day dinner and thanks to everyone who came. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Best Bread Pudding Ever!!! OMG as a Travel Agent local to Omaha, NE I can tell you that I have enjoyed bread pudding all over the world and sea...and this is simply the most exquisite! So much so that if you mention Herbe Saint in your quote request, I will waive your booking fee! #hailherbesainte #bestbreadpuddingever #yumyum”
“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!!”
“We have great experience with every dish we get and the service is top notch!”
“Just a quick note to highlight our great dining experience. Last night, we had the pleasure of celebrating my father-in-laws birthday (around 530PM) at Charleston's Restaurant near Boys Town. Just want to brag on our server, Tommy for a bit. His energy, enthusiasm, friendliness, humor, and service was second to none. Oh, by the way, the food was delicious, too.”
“Always the first place I go when I come back to Omaha. Was so excited they had PEI Oysters and a great beer selection. The gentlemen behind the bar shucking and serving were attentive and funny & genuinely looked like they were having a great time working there.”
“I had a ribeye that was kind of gristly. I've eaten there before this review, and the steaks were much better. Hope this is a one-time thing because I like eating here. Thus, the reason for 4 stars. It's usually a 5 star for me.
The rest of the food was really good. The wait staff was superb. The restrooms and restaurant were clean.”
“Great selection of old school arcade games. One suggestion... it would be really nice if the actual cost of each game were clearly posted, or some signage to this effect: "Hey, folks! We realize it's not 1981 anymore. But we thought you might like to know that the games with 25¢ on the coin return actually cost 50¢ to play." (I had to ask the bartender.)”
“Never disappoints. We have been many times and tried many menu items and they are all delicious. They have amazing flavors, great service, good portions and very good prices.”
“Love this brewery. The brewers are awesome and of course the beers are great. Pretty good location and the layout is real nice, especially during warmer weather. Good selection of beer that isn’t all IPAs (they are good but you need variety). Need to support local.”
“I love Martini's & this place was on my list for my bday on 12/15 - yes I know its not open on Sun, so my plan was to go on Sat the 14th. Weather interfered w ice storm on Fri 13th, so Sat night was super packed & i wasn't able to even get in....no biggie, went to Roxxy n had a blast! Fast forward to my bff coming out from NY n here for Christmas n we decided to go out on 12/28 n try again & yay we were able to finally get in! The place is so elegant n beautiful & has a very classy comfortable feeling to it - I knew I would 💜 it! At the bar talking about my quest n fail of trying to come here for my bday a few weeks ago, sitting next to me was the bar manager Carmen - she said she'd buy me a shot n I was like "oh cool", I never saw it so thought she was just being nice n a totally forgot n I thought 'its ok, no biggie"....then I go to pay my bill & turns out she picked up my 1st round of drinks - so extremely super sweet of her & I appreciated that n her so much. Huge THANK YOU to her & bartender Sophia for making my visit w my bff rock & an awesome experience!”
“Well worth a visit! Great atmosphere, friendly service - so much fun for date night or with friends. Truly a special place in Omaha!”
“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!”
“What an amazing meal I ordered the Dynamite roll and the Lion King roll. Both are fantastic in their own right. for dessert, I ordered the fried cheesecake which was also amazing! I highly recommend this place to anyone!”
“We dined at Mio last night. What a gem! Starting with the antipasti, 4 different meats, at least that many different cheeses & olives. The fresh mozzarella was so incredibly buttery. Our table of 6 was overwhelmed by the food & the portion size. Chef Anthony visited our table twice. Our server was attentive, caring & loved her position which is sometimes rare. Loved the entire experience.”
“Great food and atmosphere but needs work on handling large crowds for events. Tonight my fiance and I had a wild experience lol. Arrived knowing we would wait, was quoted 30 min to 1 hour. Agreed and took a seat at the bar for drinks, table was available within the 30 min time frame which was great. Was seated and didn’t see a server for 35 minutes, we expected a wait and wasn’t too bothered at this point over it. Once the server came over to us he said he thought we were being taken care of already since I had a drink from the bar. We brushed it off and placed our drinks and food order at that time. My food came out within 5 minutes and we were pretty stunned with how quick that came considering how packed it was. Now, after 10 min of him not getting his order and we also didn’t have our drinks we looked around to find someone to ask. I called out to the server and the manager several times, but didn’t succeed in grabbing their attention and fiance didn’t want me to get up and find someone. 40 minutes after my food arrived the server came up to us and I asked about his food and our drinks. I said well just take our bill and a to go box for mine. He did bring out my fiancés order and removed it from the bill. We understand it’s not entirely the servers fault but overall we were pretty bummed since we do enjoy this spot for the atmosphere and the food has always been good. A few other tables also were saying they had similar experiences tonight and also just wanted their bills as well.”
“clay soon girls,,?????? 50 lbs ready! heritage fun from bev!!”
“Brunch was amazing! The flavors mixed so well. Beautiful ambiance and kind waiter. Ordered a few different dishes to share and try. Took the rest home and warmed up nice and still just as yummy! Can’t wait to go back when in Omaha.”

“Top 3 favorite restaurant!! From the moment we walked in until we left everything was wonderful. The staff is happy and helpful, they were engaging and helped guide us to the right menu options. The cocktails were the best prices I’ve seen in a long time and were delicious!! The food we had was fantastic! The manager stopped by to check on us and was very friendly as well. We had a group that went and we had the Piedmont Manhattan, Duck Duck, Sangria, and Mule for drinks. For apps we had the brussel sprouts and goose bumps (6) which were very generous for appetizers. Finally for dinner we had the herbed salmon sandwich, Italian Dip, and the chicken picatta. To be honest we can’t wait to go back!!!”
“This place is by far the most amazing place I have ate!! Their service is great, the food has great flavor and very fresh!!”
“Excellent Ribeye, perfectly cooked!! comes with salad, baked potato and mastacolli !!!
Highly recommended, Darlene’s service was perfection !!”
“We always get the spicy shrimp as the appetizer. It is awesome! The food was great (& we got there around 5), but the service was not great. We were not done with the appetizer before the salad came. We were still eating the appetizer when the entree came. I asked what they consider medium on doneness on a steak. We were told : "warm pink center". I cut into my steak & it was bloody. I sent it back for more cooking. That was taking longer than expected, so I ate the salad. ( strawberry salad is awesome!) When the steak was brought back, I just took it home.
I had ordered soda for my drink, hubby had flavored lemonade. I still had a lot left in my glass & the waitress brought me another glass of soda. Hubby ran out of lemonade & waitress was not coming around. I told him he could have some of my soda. He put his straw in my new glass of soda & then the waitress shows up with another glass of soda & a lemonade. We never drank any of the 2nd & 3rd soda. Had the waitress asked if I wanted another soda, I would have declined the offer.
Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is one level & no stairs.”
“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.”
“Dinner reservation with family. Service was excellent and food was wonderful.”
“A top restaurant/brewery in Omaha. Excellent beer, their Detroit pizza is authentic, and the staff is always great to talk with. Parking is in a dedicated lot across the street.”
“Jericos is always a great time with great food and the customer service is amazing.”
“The Midwest throwback bar of your dreams. My new favorite spot on Omaha.
Pigs in a blanket: A+
Boozy shake: A++
Fried chicken: A+++++++”
“The food is delicious and my takeout order was correct and packaged with care. Definitely recommend. Oh, and don't miss the pork dumplings. They are hands-down the best in Omaha.”
“The Crispy Garlic Beef and Three Delicacies were delicious! Our server Maggie was helpful and a delight. Also thanks for the tasty anniversary slice of cake!”
“We've been going to Ahmad's since it was in the Old Market. The current location is only blocks from our home, so that's even better! Great food, always pleasant and friendly. Tehran chicken, kabobs, and appetizers - we try something different each time. Ahmad is a one man crew - cooking, getting, and sometimes even doing the wait staff duties! Never disappointed, check it out!”
“Amazing Date Night Restaurant! Service was so fast! Under 5 minutes for both our pizzas, our server, Sierra was amazing! So sweet and knowledgeable about the whole menu! Also the drinks were amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back next week for date night!!”
“Got delivery and tried quite a few items. Fried chicken, collards, grits, fried green tomatoes, banana pudding and pecan pie. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious!”
“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”
“Excellent experience dining for our anniversary. Food was great and staff was excellent. Chad was very friendly and accommodating. Plus a nice touch of personalizing our anniversary in our dessert. Will be back for sure.”
“I’ve never had a bad experience here. Food is amazing. Every time I stop in o ask for recommendations and have never been let down by the staff’s choices. If you haven’t eaten here, you’re missing out”
“I was here for a work event, they shut down for the night for just us. There was no wait staff, so I needed to get my drink at the bar (water as I was a DD), but the staff was very nice. The food was heavy Hors d'oeuvres, and was pretty fantastic. It seemed they food could not keep up with the amount of people there, but overall, the place was pretty great. Cannot wait to go back and try the drink everyone was drinking...The Manhattan I believe, but I like wine as well!”
“A lot of tempting menu items, but since it was our first time, I went with the Railcar Mac, and my wife went with the Salmon. My wife love her salmon, and I loved the mac, just wasn’t able to finish it because it was so rich. Will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items I was curious about.”
“Delish oysters & scampi. Positive atmosphere & customer service.”
“If tomorrow were my last day in Omaha, Scriptown Brewing Company would be at the top of my list of places I would absolutely need to spend time at. Scriptown is everything a local brewery should be: great vibes and location, warm and welcoming staff, and the best tasting beer in town. Scriptown was on Farnam Street before Blackstone turned into the bustling nightlife street that it is today. It was amazing when it opened, and it has kept its true identity to this day even as the street and the businesses around it have perpetually been changing over the past 10 years. The owner John is a true beer guy: he's an expert at his craft and simultaneously doesn't fall into "trendy" beers while also listening to his customer base on what they want. It's been incredible to watch them navigate the hurdles COVID threw their way, incorporate a side restaurant, garage doors on the front of the business, and host live music events. Evan is the Czar of Scriptown. Incredibly nice bartender who I'd bet a weeks worth of wages that he knows his regulars better than any bartender in the city. If you're a runner, be sure to give Scriptown Running Club a shot. Rain or shine, 100 degrees or -10 degrees, they meet every Thursday. Last, don't be alarmed if you don't drink beer - they make their own ginger beer and have the best mules in Omaha as well. Quit reading this review and go try it for yourself - I promise you won't be disappointed.”
“The ambionse , the food is FANTASTIC!! The risotto with pork bellly....WOW”
“My husband grabbed takeout last night for my birthday. I am the only sushi lover in the family - but alas, Ponzu had enough non sushi items on the menu, that everyone was happily stuffed. So happy he made the stop in!”
“Going there tonight for early Mother's Day dinner with my wife of 45 years”
“I always have the best time at the Library Pub! The atmosphere is great, the drinks are top-notch, and the staff is always friendly and offers great drink suggestions. Definitely a great spot to unwind and have a good time!”
“One of our favorite restaurants. Everything is top notch. Owners are amazing. They hire the best staff in town.”
“Keka was a pleasure and makes the best Old Fashioned I've had in Omaha! The food and atmosphere is phenomenal! We will be back!”
“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!”
“Great place! You create your own food, so you know exactly what you’re getting, and you watch them cook it.”
“I can’t get over how great our server was. The red beard guy. And this is the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Wow. Speechless. Coming back next week.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the remarkable freshness of the fish and the unique experience of watching the chefs skillfully craft each piece of sushi. Without question, it is the finest and most exquisite sushi offering one can find in Omaha. However, while the quality of the food was outstanding, I am unsure if this was the best omakase experience I’ve ever had.
Omakase is meant to be a holistic experience, not just about the sushi itself but the ambiance and the overall atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in this regard. The setting, though intimate, was disrupted by two couples whose loud, rowdy conversations overtook the compact space. Despite asking the server if anything could be done, the response was, “we will try,” which turned out no meaningful action was taken. This left the environment feeling like a chaotic bar and far from the serene, harmonious experiences I’ve had in Japan, where sushi can be savored in a tranquil setting.
Additionally, a 22% gratuity was added automatically, which didn’t sit well with us given the overall experience.
In conclusion, while the fish was undeniably fresh and the sushi among the best you can find in Omaha—perhaps the only truly authentic omakase experience in Nebraska—the lack of a more curated and serene atmosphere made it difficult for me to be fully satisfied.”
“We had a delicious chocolate cake from Lady T’s to celebrate October birthdays in the office today. Best chocolate cake I’ve ever had! Thank you 💜”
“They were out of a lot of things when we visited, but what we had was delicious. I do enjoy the food here but the price makes it more of a once a year kind of treat. Miss the good old days when their food was a lot cheaper.”
“Please do not sleep on Sand Point Omaha . My child turned 21 yesterday. My birthday is Monday so we go big for our birthday weekend. They agreed to spend some time with me before their friend time. All they wanted to do was go to Sand Point Omaha for lobster. I apologize for no pictures of the food, but it was so incredible we just dug on each course. We started with the shrimp oreganata, which had the most favorable oregano butter with a touch of lemon. Just a hint, ask for dipping bread and then don't give the butter to server when finished. Save it for your main course, because everything is better with butter. This butter is mind blowing. We also had the lobster bisque, could have more lobster but for $6 you can't go wrong. The bisque is served with a shot of sherry, it elevates this very creamy seasoned bisque. We shared the blueberry shrug, on the specials menu. It was cold, smooth and well balanced. Staff was willing to switch the tequila out for vodka with no issues. Our server didn't skip a beat at any time over the 2 hour meal. Well done Chef. We were so excited for the next course and it did not disappoint. We both had the Connecticut lobster roll with fingerling potatoes. The butter from the shrimp was incredible for adding some extra to the lobster roll. To be honest I may have also dipped my potatoes in it. We also shared the Autumn Harvest coup. This was fall in a glass. Peaches and apples with the right about of cinnamon. We moved to Nebraska 7 years ago and if we are lucky we get home (New Hampshire) once every couple of years. This lobster roll brings us home in a heartbeat. We loved the roll in the food truck, but to sit in their elegant dinning room with comfortable booths is a step above. As we were waiting for our dessert, the Boston cream pie napoleon to arrive. Jonathan arrived for the second time. He began to ask questions about kiddos thoughts on wine. Next thing we know, 8 tasting wines came out with names, locations. We proceeded to rate and taste. Both Jonathan and his business partner Bonnie (his mother) are running an incredible space. The atmosphere and design are a step above. Jonathan makes you feel like a long lost friend. He went above and beyond. Thank you for being a kind and generous business owner. Kurt was an incredible server, made the whole birthday lunch so much fun Chef Shawn is cooking up New England magic. Every bite showed his passion and dedication to creating mindblowing plates of food. Thank you Sir. Please don't walk, run and have an incredible experience with the most amazing meal.”

“On 8/29, we decided to try the Pizza Pie Guys. I ordered over the phone and went to pick it up. The woman who handed me our order was super nice & very friendly. Got home and we took our first bite together. My mom had the Mac & Beer Cheese Pizza, my husband had the Italian Danwich and I had the Pancetta White Pizza. No joke, we all moaned at our first bites. Best first impression EVER. Don't hesitate to give this place a try. Just one order and we're hooked!!! Thank you.”
“My 5 girlfriends and I asked to sit on the patio and we were led there by the hostess in the shade. She put the umbrella up for the ones who were partially in the sun. She took our drink order and was back with them in just a few minutes. She even brought us a little dish of lemon wedges since some of us wanted lemon in our iced tea or water. She then took our order. Five gals had various salads and I had fish and chips. Although the gals ordered half salads, they were huge. I had four large pieces of cod and a huge pile of French fries which I shared with all the others. There were three small bowls. . One with ketchup, one with tartar sauce and one with remoulade sauce. The food was very good and we had excellent service with Allison”
“They have really been knocking it out of the park. Best popcorn anywhere. Do yourself a favor and get some kettle corn. While always delicious, they even found a way to improve it greatly this past year. All their products just keep getting better and better. Can't say enough good things.”
“We had La Cabanita food truck for our daughter and her friends college graduation from Creighton! We had a “street party” on her street with almost 200 people being served. Jesus’ and his family and co-workers were AMAZING! Treated the guest’s fantastically and served the food which was delish and fresh quickly, arrived early, and stayed until everyone had eaten. It was such a fun celebratory day and Jesus’ made it even more special by bringing great food and a great party atmosphere! Can’t say enough great things about this experience. Pricing was fair. Options were plenty. Communication was great. We even had to coordinate with a neighbor to save a spot on the street for the truck so he had to work with them as well to coordinate that move while we were all at graduation and the whole thing went off without a hitch! Whether it’s 20 people or 200 people…. la Cabanita is an amazing option and I would hire them again in a second!!”

“All the meats were delicious and the servers came around frequently. It was fun to sample so many different proteins, I did enjoy that! The salad bar was great, tons of fresh options. The service was fine, but expected more for the price. The restaurant was very loud and open and the table crammed in closely without much space to move your chair if someone was behind you.
Overall, it was good for a one time spot. I’d rather go to an upscale steakhouse and get a plated meal, excellent service and more relaxing atmosphere.”
“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!”
“We just ate there for our 6th wedding anniversary last night and it was an amazing experience!! Ally and the staff went above and beyond and made our night so wonderful and memorable 🥰 The food was outstanding and the Billionaire cocktail she recommended was delish! She made the dessert special and everyone even signed a card. She was so personable and genuinely nice, I can't sing Ally's praises enough, thank you again!!!”
“I did takeout tonight. They were extremely busy, proms are tonight. I was quoted a time and I checked on my order 35-40 minutes after my promised time, order would be be ready within 5-10 minutes. No biggie, had a great time talking with customers waiting for tables so time was going by fast. The manager in the take out area was AMAZING and so sweet and kind, as were the rest of the staff in that area. I didn’t catch her name, but you ROCK! And thank you for my meal.”
“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!”
