    My husband and I are doing the "ABCs" of Omaha restaurants we've never been to, and Geno's was our G! When we walked in, it was during a sports finals championship, so was pretty busy, but that didn't hurt the great service or food taste. The ambiance is kind of like a wedding hall, being just a big box of a room with lots of tables in it. Not anything super cool, but it works for grabbing a bite to eat and watch a game. We found a little spot that was open in the corner, and ordered a few apps: -Fried Pickles: These were so good, with a nice breading and delicious ranch for dipping. I am so tired of places saying "fried pickles" and they mean an entire dang pickle spear, making the breading not enough for all that pickle. So I'm so glad they told me on the menu that it's pickle CHIPS. -Mini Corn Dogs: I was so sad when Runza did away with their mini corn dogs, so when I saw these on the menu, it was a no brainer. They were just like my old favorites! -Reuben Bites: I'm not a huge fan of Reubens in general (hate sauerkraut), but my husband is the opposite, and he was blown away by these Reuben Bites! I had a bite and they weren't terrible, and this is coming from a Reuben hater. We ordered our entrees, but could barely eat any of them after those gigantic appetizers. -Nachos: These were my husband's choice, and they were expertly made! Lots of toppings and meat - not a dry chip in sight. -Cheeseburger: Although I could only eat a few bites of this, it was super delish! Tasted like you'd make at home on the grill. Since we couldn't finish anything entirely because we ordered too much, my husband had a lunch of corn dogs, nachos, cheeseburger, and Reuben Bites the next day for lunch, so we definitely got our money's worth, but will just order a little less next time! Overall, I think Geno's is a good place to grab an appetizer/drinks or watch a game with friends, but just don't expect fine dining in the food or atmosphere.

    Bacon Egg Burger
    Olyvia K.

    The Bacon Egg Burger never disappoints. One of my favorite burgers!!! Sadly I only have this photo of it reheated as a leftover so the picture does not do this burger justice! Their onion rings and fries are also so good. My server was very attentive and one of the best I've ever had. Love Geno's! Highly recommend going here.

    This spot is located just off 168th & Maple, nicely tucked away in a strip mall. You may not see it just driving by unless you're looking for it. I'd say if you haven't been, definitely stop by. They have wall to wall TV's for all sports, Keno, a couple electronic games, darts, & even a few board games!! This makes it a good time for all. I tried their thin crust pizza that has plenty of toppings & lots of cheese- baked just right! I ordered their taco special $1.99 each! Pork, Beef & Chicken. They were all excellent, but my favorite is Pork! They add a flare of different ingredients to each taco making them uniquely special! Our waitress; Kaitlyn was very kind & helpful, refilling our drinks & making sure we were good at all times. We will definitely be back!

    Steak Sandwich with tater tots
    Daniel D.

    Food is ok took longer than expected. Got the Ruben bites. I guess I was expecting something different probably cause I was comparing them to the rolls from the crescent moon, which is probably not a good thing to do because nobody can compete with those. I got the pork pulled Sandwich It was OK I'd rather have more meat than less because it was oozing out of the bun. They have a good selection of beers. I was not expecting that. Layout is very open with a mixture of high tops and shorties. Will have to try the patio next time. Felt a bit claustrophobic inside. But that was exasperated by something wrong with the AC.

    Wings
    Teresa M.

    I had heard some great reviews on this bar for their club sandwich so that's why we were there. It's crazy times and everywhere is busy so I'm going to give a pass on the wait time. Our server was working his butt off, apologized multiple times and it wasn't his fault. We waited about an hour for our order, but that's fine. The food was ok. Nothing stood out that would bring me back. I ordered some type of Reuben bites and those were a big no for me. It's like they put Reuben ingredients in a food processor then fried. Couldn't eat it. The texture was so bad inside. The club sandwich was very good and I did enjoy their fries. The wings did not blow me away. Hopefully they are better cold tomorrow morning. I'd come back here to drink, but not for the food.

    Delicious marinara
    Kelley M.

    I've been watching this place on Instagram for a while. Finally had a Saturday night we could try it. We got there early 5:30 ish. There were tables on the patio so we sat outside. It wasn't busy at all. It's a good size area with plenty of tables. I had a Moscow mule my husband had a double vodka tonic. Both were fine. We had the garlic bread bread for an appetizer. The marinara stole the show. I had the beer can wings. They were a good size wing but I wasn't in love with the flavor. I also tried the onion rings, they were pretty good. My husband has the bacon and egg burger with sweet potato fries. It was not cooked properly and they took it back once and when they brought it back it seemed like it had been microwaved?!! They did take the burger and a drink off the bill so there is points for trying to make it right. I'll try it again and get something that has the awesome marinara sauce.

    What a great place! We enjoyed patio dining (but wished the fire pit had been lit, maybe help with the bugs), and delicious food!! I had a Steak Bacon BLT, and my boyfriend had the barbecue chicken flatbread. Both were delicious!! The bacon was very thick cut, but what makes their BLTs really stand out is that they cut the tomato equally thick. A BLT can be ruined by skimping on the tomato, but Geno's does it perfectly! We're not big drinkers, but we're fans of bar food, and this was some of the best! There is inside dining, and we did that once, too. I'm looking forward to visiting in the cooler weather, though, so we can dine outside again and the mosquitoes won't be a bother.

    Mini Corn Dogs
    Ciara S.

    After discovering Runza had discontinued their mini corn dogs I was in search of somewhere nearby that offered them. Geno's to the rescue! I don't think you can mess up mini corn dogs but to confirm, they were on point. The pretzel bites and queso were also excellent. It's not very often I want to eat like a child, but when I do I know I can count on Geno's! The rest of their menu also looked great. I only ordered appetizers this time around but will be back to try an entree. I've also noticed Crab Rangoon Nachos featured from time to time on their Facebook page. Um, YUM! The only thing that hindered our great experience was having 4 different servers waiting on us. We put our appetizers in with one person, then a different person came over to put my boyfriends entree order in. It was confusing on who to address if we needed something. I can only assume it was confusing for them as well as our water glasses remained empty far too long, it took forever to get our check once we were done eating, and it took a long time for them to run our card. We had been ready to go for quite some time but had to sit around and wait on them until we could leave. You wouldn't expect with 4 different people waiting on us there'd be any delays. I don't think that approach worked so well in the end.

    Big beers on Sunday!

    Everett's is a solid ten! At least that's what I would give them if I could. We had heard about…read morethem and were very excited to try. I'm sure everything on the menu is good, but we came here for wings and boy did they deliver. The house brined wings are Fantastic. We did the extra hot bubba, which is their extra hot sauce fried then grilled In garlic Parmesan, which was so juicy and flavorful and kicked the heat to a perfect amount where it was flavorful but not overbearing. We also did the cactus ranch, which is the medium hot sauce tossed with cactus ranch seasoning, also tried it grilled. Another solid selection that provided a nice amount of heat and flavor. Both were so amazing I can't even say which one I liked more or which one was hotter. The wings are huge, juicy, and came out well-sauced. I filled up after five of mine (my husband tackled them all) and took the rest home. I don't know how to say best wings in Omaha, since I don't live there and haven't tried enough places, but these were some of the best wings we have EVER had, period. And we get wings almost everywhere we go. Also---the hand-cut (you heard me) fries aren't to be passed up on. We tried with the garlic aoili, so good, and a huge basket for $6. Our server was great. They are always busy, so give them some grace. We came during late lunch, got lucky and got seated right away, and it was still a revolving door of people, tables don't sit empty for long. They don't take reservations, and I understand why. They have limited space and when full, you sign up on the Board, there is a bar next door you can also receive a buzzer and go have a few drinks while you wait. This place is definitely worth the wait and we will repeatedly be back when we make it up to Omaha.

I'm also not sure what our "Universal Service Fee" was for, but wasn't an outrageous fee. We paid cash trying to avoid the extra fees. In all, it's a good spot as long as you get to chat with your party and not have unintended visitors from neighboring tables.

    This was my first time visiting this particular Cheddar's location. The food and ambiance were what…read moreI've come to expect but unfortunately, the service didn't quite match. Most of our group had been to Cheddar's before, and we were all excited to try some new menu items. Overall, the food was a hit. The onion rings came out hot and fresh, the lemon pepper chicken was especially juicy, and the white fish ended up being another favorite at the table. That said, there were a few service missteps that took away from the experience. Two people in our group ordered the white fish blackened, but only one plate came out as requested--the other was pretty bland. When our server eventually checked in (a bit later than expected), we mentioned the mix-up. His response was pretty casual, something along the lines of there just being less spice, and he didn't offer to fix it or have it remade. We ended up just swapping a fillet between the two plates so each person had one blackened and one not. It worked, but it felt like something that should have been handled differently. There were also a few moments where drinks went empty for a while, and our server wasn't around much. At one point, a manager actually stepped in and refilled waters for the table, which we appreciated. Overall, the service felt very laid-back...but to the point where it came across like he didn't care. One bright spot worth mentioning: my salad came out before the meal with a lot more cheese on top than I expected. As I was picking some off onto a side plate, a manager happened to notice and stopped to ask if I'd prefer a new salad without cheese. I explained it wasn't a mistake, just more than I wanted, but I really appreciated the attention and the offer to make it right.

    We visited this new location of Cheddar's recently while out in the area and wanting to check the…read morenew place out. Suffice to say (before reading my long review) it was not on par with the L street location! The staff were definitely new and learning the menu, but that is to be expected any time a new place is freshly opened. Our server, Blake, was nice though and was learning fast. But with a few other servers, there was one thing that did not come about from being a server in a new restaurant. We were eating and could CLEARLY hear the staff around the corner talking loudly and cursing left and right. I am not a prude about language but it's just not something you see every day at a restaurant with families/kids dining. The size of the restaurant seems a little smaller than the L street location, too. That may be a psychosomatic thing when trying a different location of a place you know, but I definitely felt more cramped. The food is on par with the OG spot, so no complaints there. My usual is the bourbon glazed salmon with the cheesy broccoli on the side. So it was just as tasty as the other location, but I think I'll stick to the L street one mostly going forward.

    I recently re-visited Stokin' Goat with family, so figured I would do an updated review…read more This most recent visit was right when they opened at 11am, so we were the only diners in the restaurant. It was kind of cool to see it very empty, because we could admire all the goat accents around the interior and the cool bar, without a million people around it. There was a brunch menu at that early hour, but we decided to stick with the normal menu. Our server was great, and definitely very attentive since we were the only party in the place the entire time we were there. I had just had dental surgery so there were only a few things I could eat. I got the Meatballs appetizer (to cut up and have some meat in my stomach) and the French Onion Soup, which was the soup of the day. The French Onion Soup was super creamy and delicious. I'm used to there being just sort of darker brown with the cream and cheese on top only. This was totally cream colored and hearty. It came with a few pieces of bread points too that were good to dip/soak in the soup. My more substantial part of my meal, the meatballs, were a little less appetizing though. First off they came in a bowl, so they are not easy to cut at all (being giant meatballs, I would think anyone would want to cut them a little). And secondly, the meatballs themselves were kind of flavorless. There was some marina style sauce in the bowl with them, but the meat of the meatballs themselves had no seasoning or flavor. My husband got the caesar salad with chicken, and he was not a huge fan. It was way too heavily dressed that the salad leaves were almost wilty, and the chicken that was in the salad was cut in huge pieces - not easily eaten without sawing at the huge bits. So the food was not the star at this visit (except for the side of French onion soup), but the service and atmosphere were still great. I would return to Stokin' Goat but maybe choose some other items next time, when I can eat more substantial food.

I got the crisp martini and my husband got the old fashioned. Both were good but the old fashioned was a little too sweet. For our appetizer we got the shrimp carrot which was super buttery and cheesy. We also split the flat iron steak special. We ordered it medium rare and it was more of a medium well. It was on the salty side and the steak had the same texture as ham or like a school lunch meat....something about it reminded me of a jerky too. It was interesting and didnt taste bad but unlike any steak texture I've ever had. It cost $29 so wasn't expensive for a steak but I guess we should've gone next door to Mahogany Prime if we wanted good steak or even Texas Roadhouse up the way. Even though we were disappointed with the steak we still had a great time. Will def come back and try a salad or the chicken piccata.

    I had a very disappointing and concerning experience at this restaurant. I ordered a margarita with…read moreno salt, but it was brought out with a salted rim, and I can see that salt dripped into the drink. I asked for it to be remade. What happened next was unacceptable. I watched the waitress take the drink back to the bar, where the bartender (with his hair parted in the middle) poured the margarita out of and over the salted rim, into a different glass instead of making a new one. That same drink was then brought back to me. This isn't just poor service, it's a serious health and safety concern for me. There is a reason I asked for no salt. Rather than admitting a mistake and correcting it properly, they chose to cut corners and hope I wouldn't notice. If I hadn't seen it happen, I would have unknowingly consumed something I specifically asked to avoid. There were other issues during the visit, but this alone is enough to ensure I won't be returning. Trust is critical when dining out, and unfortunately, this experience showed that it's lacking here.

There seemed to be a little bit of a longer wait later in the lunch hour with what seemed like a fairly empty restaurant- not sure if that is normal! Regardless, each meal that came out was great! Our server was a blonde gal and she had the brightest attitude to her! I wish I would've gotten her name once more!! She was a great server! The end of our meal we overheard conversation about a pineapple dessert- we asked our server and she recommended lilikoi cheesecake which is a passion fruit dish! We gave it a try and oh my gosh.... One of the best desserts my family and I have had!! I am going to request one for an event coming up and see if the chef would be willing!! It was out of this world!
