    chicken and fries
    Tozh L.

    Hot and fresh fish. I recommend not coming here if you're in a rush or try ordering a head of time because they make you food fresh per order and that takes some time. I ordered the catfish fillets and fries. The only con is that I wished it was a bit more seasoned. I 7/10 recommend

    Tots

    Wanted to check this place out after seeing good reviews while in the area. You might miss it if you don't use your map, it's in a strip mall area behind a bank. It Definitely didn't disappoint! Surprisingly catfish is their speciality, given their name is chicken. It's one of the few, real southern cornbread battered catfish places I've seen in the Omaha area. Their fries are the thick, Louisiana style southern fries that go great with fried catfish. Or if you want tots, they have those too! All in all, I thought the food was flavorful, filling, and just the right amount of crispy!

    Owner served me old food just redipped it in the grease. I called him out on this and he wouldn't give me a refund or a partial one. Look at the fries... and those blacked little rocks are supposed to be wings it wouldn't be bad if this didn't cost me $26 bucks.

    I've been there twice now. The place is pretty simple, and smallish. The catfish is good, but could use more spice (I used a lot of hot sauce). Fries are great. I don't like that the cups and utensils are all paper and plastic and are thrown out with every meal.

    We usually like to each try something different when we eat somewhere new, but today we all three had the catfish. Boy was that the right choice, as we all ate every drop and declared it the best catfish we had had in many, many years, if ever! The fish was lightly breaded in the most perfect, crispy cornmeal crust. Beautifully moist, perfectly cook, and as tender as warm butter! Tots were super tasty and so was the slaw! This has set a standard for us all when it comes to catfish! So happy Yelp has led us to yet another fantastic find. We're sure to return next time we pass through

    Chicken tenders and fries
    Chad B.

    Spotted this place on the way to an appointment. We had no idea what it was. It's a bit tucked away off of L street. Decided to give it a shot on the way home for lunch. It's not a large menu. They tend to stick to the stuff they do well and oh boy, do they do some things well. I got the chicken tenders and fries and my fiancé got the Ranch Chicken Rice Bowl. We discussed getting some beignets and finally decided to go for the extra calories. The chicken tenders had good flavoring and were a decent size for the price. The fries you could tell were hand battered and they were fantastic. My fiancé enjoyed the rice bowl and said it was cheesy and had lots of good flavors. It was the beignets that stole the show for me. I'm not a sweets person generally, but these were so dang good. Light and fluffy and just the right amount of a warm and doughy inside. They are the type of food you close your eyes and just savor each bite. We will definitely be back sometime soon so I can try the catfish. Definitely an excellent place for lunch.

    What a friendly staff. Some people came in behind us and were welcomed as if they were regulars. We bought a Groupon so we fixated on two burgers, but the young lady taking our order had us eating beignets and fried pickles with it. The pickles were spicy. The beignets memorable with Carmel or chocolate sauce. The burgers were delicious and the tater tots were good flair. We left full! The prices are not bad at all. Worth a try and a repeat visit.

    Highly recommend!! We got the chicken teriyaki aioli rice bowls, catfish and beignets. It was all amazing and delish!!

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich
    Trever R.

    Best chicken sandwich in Omaha, hands down. The one thing I have learned is that you need to add some spice to your chicken sandwich, it makes the flavor so much better.

    Catfish it was Excellent

    The fried catfish was fresh, piping hot, and delicious! Tartar sauce was decent. Fries were good.

    While traveling to Omaha to visit our daughter we looked for a place for afternoon tea. Others…read morehave commented that that service is friendly but the food is lacking in heat (ie served cold) and a little flavor. I concur. The hospitality was good but the food could be better. We pre-ordered a tea service for 3 but this looks like a setting for two. 1 scotch egg, 1 egg salad sandwich, and 1 sausage roll and two tarts to split among three people. The value for our money was not there. This is a retail shop with a small cafe and not the other way around.

    What a hidden gem for real fish and chips! I have never been to England so I can't speak for…read moreauthenticity, but I haven't had better fried fish than here. They explain up front how it's cooked, how long it will take (at least 40 minutes), and how to season it or what sauce to use. I'm partial to tartar sauce so I went for that. Super crunchy outside, and a warm flakey fish on the inside - just how I like it! The chips were not to my liking, but that's because they are not like typical French fries. They are softer more potato like texture (they explain on their menu and online). Instead, I tried their sausage roll which is a sausage wrapped in a flakey pastry. Absolutely delicious! And what meal would be complete without a biscuit and jam? Definitely recommend warming it up first then adding your butter or jam. To note, there is not a lot of seating inside, so we took our food home and it was still just as good. They offer a variety of other options in the restaurant/store as well when you stop by. Highly recommend a visit!

They had the Nebraska game playing and a bar for a great hangout session to take family or friends. There's also a bar with cocktails, NA drinks, and liquor/beer to order. We're pretty sure the person who owns the establishment was in the bar area and he was super kind and friendly. The lobster roll and the chicken tenders were delicious. The Connecticut role could have used more butter but otherwise a great ratio of lobster meat and a perfectly toasted roll. The chicken tenders were gluten free with nashville hot seasoning. The fries were crispy and the ranch was to die for. Both were served in about 5 minutes and we cannot wait to go back to try the others foods!

I've had burgers from Nocturnal Eats and now a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich from Burning Bridges. Every. Single. Time. I am blown away by the food these trucks serve. Not only do the employees work so hard, but I strong stand in saying their offerings are better than most brick and mortar restaurants in Omaha. Whether you're taking your family or going for a date night, this place is great. Options for everyone, cocktails and drinks all while playing games like cornhole and connect four. It's also dog friendly! Follow their T&T Instagram to stay up to date with the current schedule. Ideally it would be great if they could be open later but appears most of the time they close at 8pm. I love that there is more of a variety of food trucks this summer! Can't wait to try them all.
