Good food and a great spot for a casual hangout! The patio seating is a nice bonus--comfortable and perfect for enjoying the weather. The staff was very friendly and made the experience even better. Relaxed vibe, solid menu, and a place I'd definitely come back to. read more

There is always a great lunch deal at Brownie's! It feels like a large dive bar but a great kitchen. My go to is usually the daily special. We have never had a bad meal. Service is always quick and friendly. read more

Stopped in here for a couple drinks with some friends about a month ago and it is a cool, little bar. We all ordered a drink from the bartender, who was super nice, and she made them really fast. My drink tasted really good. Nice balance. The ambiance looks like a normal bar. Everything seemed tidy and clean. We didn't order anything to eat, as we just ate somewhere else, but I'd definitely try the food next time. read more

The food here is pretty dang good for a small place. The kitchen dudes seriously have like a 10x10 area to crank out good stuff. I personally like the grilled ham and cheese. Its a great price for what you get! The staff is pretty friendly but hey everyone has bad days so you have to forgive and forget sometimes. The interior is the same it has been for quite some time. Down a little hallway between the pool table area and back area are the single person restrooms. Out the back of the building is the pretty spacious fenced in outside bar area. I think for the most part, you are on your own out there, but the main bar is only like 50ft away. read more

Great people and staff, Food is Good and the ambience is nice. Very town you grown up in or everyone knows your name.

Nice local spot right downtown. Walking distance to the park, main street and shopping. Good variety of bar food, fast service and plenty of 'amenities'. Like music bingo, karaoke , keno or table top shuffle board? Stop by. Love it when they sponsor the local car show in the summer. Outdoor tent seating, food and drinks. Great atmosphere, great time!! read more

I stopped in for the prime rib special. It was pretty good. Service was slow, but friendly. The building had a strange smell. It might have been old cigarette smoke. read more

Stacy is fantastic. You can battle rocketman 8n shuffleboard. You can climb nets in the outdoor patio.​

Good can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's great and sometimes it's lukewarm but the sevice is just average and the atmosphere is nothing great. Worth a try! Have had some great burgers there but the last few times the burgers haven't but that great and service has been awful read more

Our neighbors, my husband, and I grabbed a few beers and snacks during Papio Days. It's was crazy hot outside so the cool a/c felt great inside upon entering. The bar was very busy but not packed. We grabbed beers and went to the side of the bar in their separate room the play shuffle board and hang out. The service in regards to ordering wasn't the greatest, but I'm sure it's because people were coming in and out like crazy for Papio Days. The servers/bartenders brought random food that wasn't ours but would come back quickly with the corrected items. Very chaotic but understandable I feel like. We had one tab which made it more difficult to hash out, but they were able to correct the miscellaneous discretions as needed. read more

Nothing fancy here, just Liquor and eats to match. Not divey enough for me with a rear patio and decent lighting, but if your local and want a good atmosphere, this is the place. read more

Kind of a hole in the wall bar off of 84th Street in Papillion. Open concept in a very old building that is a bit dark and smells of stale smoke and beer. Pool tables, dart board, couple arcade games and keno......oh and a fairly roomy beer garden out back. Went for a late lunch and got there just before the grill shut down (Grill closes at 2pm). Server was very friendly and made you feel right at home. Prices on the menu are pretty reasonable. Prime Rib sandwich and ribeyes were the lunch specials today. We got the BLT and Brownies Big Burger (bacon, mushrooms, onions, two types of cheese, lettuce, tomato) and a side of onion rings (these are extra). Normal sides are fries or tator tots. Both sandwiches were good. My wife said she would go back just to eat the BLT. My burger was decent and the portions were large. Onion rings were good, but could use some more seasoning. Total for our meals and drinks was around $17.00. Not bad. if you are in the neighborhood, stop in and try it out...let us know what you think. read more

We love Brownies! It is our local go-to in Papillion. ALWAYS great service, friendly staff, going over and beyond. They make a great Bloody Mary to go with Prime Rib, too! (Try it with Tequila and a good splash of hot sauce!). read more

One person paid our tab without telling us, then we got served another tab. We were unaware of the situation, paid for the tab, and then left. When we found out what had happened, we had contacted the business. We have been fighting this issue for well over a month (January, it's now February). We understand that we messed up too, however, during this entire month, we have physically stopped in, called, and asked for a manager every time. Then we got told that the manager would contact us, which has never happened. We have done this multiple times and are fed up, and would like our $50 back. We really want to enjoy their business, but this is putting a wall up to enjoy it. read more

Great small town, locals bar. I've been here for lunch and dinner. They've got a good selection of food to choose from. The steaks won't win any awards but for the price and atmosphere, they're fine. They'll occasionally have live music, but I haven't been there for that. They real reason you come here is for the people and supporting downtown Papillion. We'll be back for sure. read more

Great neighborhood bar and grille where you can catch the game and some good grub. Friendly waitstaff keep the beers flowing!

There's not a lot of options for bars in Papillion. This one is a total dive, which, of course, is the big draw for me. Most every beer is $3-4. The bathrooms have a fun sketchiness with their curtains as opposed to doors. The bartender was alright. Not particularly friendly and definitely not attentive. The crowd was primarily old males. There's a jukebox, pool table, etc. I can't say it's great, but I have no doubt I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

I had a good experience here. This is a no frills bar and grill serving up beers and burgers to the locals. You'll find day-drinking regulars. Keno players. Sports watchers. Burger eaters. Also a spacious patio in the back. These are all things I like. I visited on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't too busy and the bartender doubled as a server for the entire place. I sipped a beer as I waited for a cheeseburger. I knew they're known for good burgers here, but even so I was surprised at some of the ingredients. Two types of cheese, fresh greens instead of iceberg lettuce, (I think) a hefty 1/3 lb. burger on a grilled bun. The fries even had a bit of garlic salt on them for added flavor. I came in parched and feeling a little down and left full with my spirits up. My tab was under $10. Brownie's is my kind of watering hole-in-the-wall. read more

Still amazing! Some things have changed; they no longer have Budweiser on tap and they only serve Prime Rib two days a week. The food is reliably good bar fare and I still see the same people working when I come in. This is just a great underrated local spot in a very old building, aptly named a "watering hole". Check it out! read more

Out of date/ old school. Made us sign a book because they didn't trust our ID's? I've been to 16+ states for work and I've never ever been this ridiculed for having an out of state license. Either get a scan tool or some different bartenders, you've lost business from myself and the rest of my crew member who all have out of state licenses. read more

Good old school bar. Friendly staff. Our first visit and they treated us like regulars.

Surprisingly good food and a nice beer garden. Cheap prices too................... How long does the review have to be

Good food and cold beer. Who could ask for anything more?

Unfortunately this was a loss when it comes to food, food quality and service. The food tasted more like it had been microwaved rather than actually cooked. It's a shame because I really wanted to like this local spot read more

Great place. Listening to an all vet band called ground zero. There are great. Service at the bar was great

I am shocked there are not more reviews of this place. I guess considering this place has been around for 30 years and I just found it-I guess maybe I shouldn't be all that surprised. It was very busy with all the tables full on a Saturday night-so maybe people are keeping this little gem to themselves. I loved walking into this old building that maintains it's old town front (Building founded in 1906)-and while I found the atmosphere inside to be a bit sterile and too open (think many of the small town eatery/bars you have eaten in) I understand the need for it. It is not a bar I would come pony up to and hang out at inside. Now, I will be going to this bar and hanging out just for drinks with friends on their gorgeous and expansive fenced in beer garden. I was here in January of course-but this looks to be one of the best beer gardens I have seen in town. Looking over the menu and I kept being shocked by the reasonable prices and then looking at the food coming out of the open kitchen. I had to check again to make sure this wasn't a lunch menu with different prices. It was not. I ordered a cocktail, a normal cheeseburger (I saw some burger creations coming out of the kitchen that looked pretty good and large) and the steak fries. Drink was fine, burger was good sized and had a quality bun on it that was not dry, burger was hand patted and seemed to be quality meat. Tasted very good-especially for the price. Steak fries were excellent-just enough crisp, not seasoned, and hot and soft on the inside. Service was good and attentive enough. Nothing over the top-our waitress was casual and we got our food in good time. So-I got a cocktail, a good sized quality burger and steak fries at this sit down bar and grill for under a ten spot. That is quite the deal in my book. I will be returning here for both food and the beer garden in the future. read more

After a group gathering June 9th, at Papillion City Park on an extremely hot day, we went to Brownies for lunch and shelter from the heat. Not only were we served excellent hand crafted hamburgers but we were treated to extra measures of kindness with fans and plentiful pitchers of ice water. I disclose that I have received no freebies for this review read more

On a clear, sunny day with a slight breeze, some people think the perfect activity is getting out on their bikes, or taking a walk, or doing some yardwork. Hells no...not for this girl. If given the choice, I'm maximizing my perfect day by spending a few hours on a decent patio somewhere with some friends, a cold bev or two in hand, and a not-so-light lunch. Brownie's is not your ultra-lounge, puffy-outdoor-furniture, dress-to-impress kind of establishment. It's casual. It's laid back. It's borderline divey, but in Papillion, so I'm not sure if divey is even possible in the 'burbs. Overall, the food is pretty standard bar fare (gigantic nachos with never enough sour cream or toppings; buttery, toasted reuben; iceberg lettuce salad you should never order). However, I DO love the fact that you can get a side of deep fried tater tots that remind you of school lunch (c'mon, you know you harbor a secret love for it). And, if you're one of my pals who grew up in a small town drinking Busch Lite, well, you can order that too seeing as how I never have that particular flavor available in my own home and force you to make do with craft beers and micro-brews. If ever near Papillion, make a stop and don't forget to observe the speed limit. read more

Went here yesterday to try the prime rib, and I was not disappointed. It was cooked to perfection. The venue was quite nice, couple of loud customers, but that can't be helped. I also got to try the pork tenderloin, and I have to say that it was pretty darn good as well. I will definitely be returning to brownies in the very near future read more

Brownie's Bar & Grill - The prime rib sandwich and tots, soooo goood!!! - American Near Me - Papillion, Nebraska

Based on the recommendations on yelp a co-worker and I came here for lunch. I ordered the prime rib and have to agree that it was done really well. It was perfectly medium rare, the au jus was tasty and not overly salty and the horseradish had a kick. It was a lot of food for an excellent price. The only sides it comes with are a potato and buttered toast. I would've preferred more vegetable options but for a once in a while caloric spurge it's definitely worth it. Also the service is quick and very friendly. read more

I've been in Brownie's before, but only with a beer in my hand after a softball game or before Papillion Days. We decided last Friday night to give Brownies a go for some food. Couldn't have been more surprised at the quality of the prime rib. It was very well cooked and very juicy. However, don't order it and hope for some veggies on the side unless that veggie is a potato. Beer was cold and the service was good. read more

Stacey is the best bartender, i only come here because of her. she is super attentive, personable, and the best bartender they could ever hire. give this woman a raise! read more

The best thing about Brownie's is the great burgers every single time. The atmosphere is fantastic, really feels like a neighborhood watering hole that you want to walk down to and have a drink. Service behind the bar is always good, table service can be slow but their hearts are in the right place. Never feel like we are getting ripped off here, it's a solidly good experience. read more

Don't be deterred by the decor as it's appropriate for the type of establishment. Friendly staff. TVs at each angle. Limited bar though. It looks full service but unless you're sticking to the basics don't expect them to have what you need. Good variety of menu items offered. There was nothing awful but nothing to brag about either. read more

My wife picked this place on a whim. I was not expecting much after I heard the name, but i was surprised. We first walked in I kind of wanted to walk back out, it is a standard local bar, noisy and kind of greasy looking. I figured what the heck, give it a try. They do not have much more than the basic big three beers. I ordered a Sierra Nevada. My wife wanted to try the calamari (I know, she is a brave woman) as an appetizer. The waitress said the steaks were the best. So I ordered the 16oz Ribeye medium rare, my wife ordered the grilled chicken breast. The calamari that came to the table was not something that I recognized as calamari. They were sticks that looked kind of like cheese sticks. They looked safe so I grabbed one and it was good, not calamari, but good. They were a surimi stick breaded and deep fried. Very good and fresh. As they brought out our very fresh chilled salads I saw the chef pull pull out a whole vac pack rib roast and I got really excited. My steak was brought out hot and perfectly cooked and seasoned. My wife's chicken was equally fresh and tasty. Our food was so good that I felt compelled to send the chef/cook a beer. Overall I am really glad that I did not let the first impression scare me away, and I would definitely go back when we are back in the area. read more

Had prime rib sandwich and fries...fries were good...prime rib sandwich was horrible and tasted like cardboard...going home to get sick now.
