This was so good! Great place to come downtown and get some tasty tacos and strong margaritas. The chips and salsa trio was great. Fresh crunchy chips with unique salsas. The house margarita and strawberry margarita were top notch. They were sweet and strong!! The 3 taco special is a great deal. The brisket tacos were awesome, and the chipotle aioli really complimented them. The rice was cooked great and the beans were tasty too. Our server was super friendly, and we were given a table with no wait time. This place was really pretty and is in a good location, next to hotels and other spots. read more

Was visiting Nebraska and stopped at Hook and Lime..one of the best decisions ever! I have been OBSESSED with tacos lately and let's say I was impressed. Their guacamole was also VERY delicious and seasoned. Staff was super friendly and greeted us before we got all the way in. Service was speedy and the vibes were immaculate. I absolutely adored the scenery and decor of this restaurant along with the music that complimented it. It was a super chill playlist including sza, the internet, and other underrated artists. I wish I was able to visit on a Tuesday. Apparently they have a thing called "No Tech Tuesday" where you lock your phone up and actually enjoy your company while enjoying super crazy discounts. I love this idea and it makes them different from others. This place is a gem and I will absolutely come back and make sure I experience that Tuesday vibe! read more

Came here a while back for a Yelp event and loved it so much that we came back again!! I absolutely love their green salsa. I would come back just for that. I would highly suggest trying all of the tacos because I've yet to have one I don't like. I'd also ask for the sauce on the side though, this time it came with a lot on them and it kind of took over the whole flavor. But I'm still satisfied and will definitely be going back!! read more

Hook and Lime is such a great stop. We came during Happy Hour and received wonderful service. I strongly recommend the Birria Tacos. Bonus- the side chips and salsa were perfect for 2! The drinks were delicious- fresh lemonade and a marg that isn't afraid of being strong. We had an amazing meal and will definitely be back. read more

Some friends and I went for an early dinner and I was so happy they suggested hook and lime! I was able to try some items in the menu I hadn't had before such as the bacon and shrimp tacos! Everything on the table looked and smelled delicious. I highly recommend going earlier than you think, we were seated without waiting and had nearly the whole place to ourselves. read more

Back again after a recent Yelp event at Hook and Lime. I found myself returning to enjoy some of the wonderful food and specialty drink concoctions. En tow was my husband who listened to me rave about this restaurant no end and insisted on coming and trying it for himself. We were not disappointed! All of the food is made to order, top quality ingredients, and plenty of TLC to make their dishes truly their own The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating and we were lucky enough to find a pleasant afternoon to still enjoy the outside area before it gets cold! The service was amazing and we were completely pampered! Cannot say enough about this locally owned restaurant that has been in business now just over nine years. A lot of love and attention goes into the food and drinks at this restaurant and all I say is that yes, you must come here! read more

Hook and Lime - Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

We love H&L! After coming here for a Yelp event last year, we couldn't want to come back again. We were sat by the window but moved to the bar, there are air registers above all the tables that were uncomfortably chilly in cold weather. They were great about moving us up to the bar and we had our pick of seats. We were able to chat with the bartender about the food, drinks, and life. That's why we love sitting at the bar whenever we can! I remember doing a custom pineapple cinnamon margarita during the Yelp event and was excited to have it again. We were there during happy hour and were told any of the drinks not in boxes were available for HH prices. Unfortunately, the Patron and pineapple marg was in a box but the bartender was able to do house tequila with the pineapple and cinnamon for the HH price! My husband also got a mezcal old fashioned and that was fabulous, I'd recommend it! The chips are thick and crispy, the salsas are made with fresh ingredients, and the mango salsa is always my fave. I got the seared tuna taco and shrimp and bacon taco. The shrimp and bacon was fabulous, the only downer of both tacos was the amount of sauce on them overpowered the meat flavor. The sauce on the tuna taco was mayo heavy, I wouldn't get the tuna taco again. My husband's carnitas taco was so good! I'll get that next time. The service is super quick, we ordered, ate, and had our check within an hour. The drinks are strong! Be prepared for that. Authenticity score is 5/10. There's several great tequilas, the food is really tasty, they make it with fresh ingredients, but vibes + the heavy sauces on the tacos make it an American taco spot. read more

The Quesabirria was OK. I mean I ate it. Would I go back? Probably not. I had a side of Corn, thumbs way down.

Hook and Lime became more than just a restaurant during my time there -- it was a place where I spent many days working through the details of the 10-state plan for my nonprofit and navigating the challenges that came with it. The atmosphere, the consistency, and the people made it the perfect setting for meaningful conversations and planning. Garret, Celey, Sara, and Kirk are all great people -- friendly, reliable, and always making sure everything was taken care of. Their professionalism and kindness created a welcoming environment every time I walked in. A special mention goes to Steve, who has been a constant source of advice, kindness, and genuine friendship. His support, insight, and steady presence made a real difference throughout the process. Hook and Lime is a place where good food meets great people, and I'm grateful for all the time spent there.

I can't believe I haven't updated my review after returning to hook and lime at least a handful of times! We've made this our family go to spot when guests are visting for the series, or for the holidays. My last few visits have been tremendously better! I've had a variety of tacos, plates, and desserts. The chips and salsa trio is fantastic, and their breakfast tacos were so good. Now that I know the way things roll, it's made the last few visits much more enjoyable. Everyone working is so friendly, and accommodating. They have a great variety of tequilas, and cocktails. This is definitely a must-stop spot downtown. read more

We were having supper before a concert next door. Great happy hour specials and cozy environment got the night started off right!

I met with friends before going to a concert at Slowdown. It is the perfect location for that. I got the El Capitan bowl. The grilled shrimp were really special. I really liked it but...it felt like it didn't have as much flavor overall as I had expected. I did not perceive any pickled onions so maybe if it had been made as described on the menu it would have been more interesting. There were 3 of us; one of us got the guacamole to eat as dinner so we all shared. That worked well because the guacamole and chips are really, really good and more substantial than at other places. The $10.50 cost would be a little daunting if dining alone. But they are great for sharing. It is a very generous size. Their guacamole - I don't know if there are a lot of things in it other than the avocados. But wow, they are obviously getting THE BEST avocados. They have a trio of house hot sauces that were good and I am especially intrigued with the really dark one. Super unique. We got the ginger limeade to drink, which is fabulous. It has a sugared rim and it made us think how good it would be with salt instead. THIS is the thought that really makes me want to return. The food was all good, the cost of the sandwiches and rice bowls make them a good value. Honestly though - I didn't really even look at the whole menu, even though it's just a large page. It was really hard for me to read it so I picked one of the first things I looked at. That's not good, and it's a big enough problem that it decreases my desire to return. read more

Got the chicken and cheese quesadilla with a side of chips and salsa. Everything was delicious! The chicken had a really nice level of heat without compromising the flavor. Everything was seasoned well-- even the chips were perfectly salted with just the right amount of lime. Will be sure to stop in next time I visit Omaha! read more

This was one of my favorite events! I love a good margarita, and it was so fun hearing from Robby, the owner, about how they make the perfect one. He and his wife were both so kind and helped us pick out the best flavors. Steve, our server, was awesome, so funny and friendly! We all had such a great time. And the food buffet... HOLY BUFFET. It was amazing with so many delicious options. Love this place! read more

Another awesome visit! The employees are fun to chat with and attentive. The food has been exceptional every time I visit! The chips and guacamole- yum! Homemade chips are the bomb and the bowl is FULL. Don't miss the pineapple salsa, and guacamole with your chips. I had two single tacos... Overnight Brisket was my favorite! They have a seasoning on the table - sprinkle it on everything especially the chips! I hope they start selling it - I ask everytime I go hahaha I love it! I ended with a chocolate pie, the crust was crunchy and added a great texture to every bite of the chocolate moose like pie. read more

I have been here twice & nothing but good things to say! Great happy hour deals! We had the salsa flight tonight and absolutely loved, their pineapple salsa was delicious!

I always love the vibe in there too, cute decor and love all the windows. We will be coming back :) read more

I've come here since I was in college and this place is great. If you come here you must get the chips, all of there dips and even the hot sauces are good, so you can't go wrong. The margaritas are also so very good. You can't go wrong. I also love that there's parking in the back! There's always street parking, but a good place near downtown with a free parking lot, it's the best. read more

Average tacos at best. Ordered the cod and brisket. COD no taste and brisket dry. Tortillas were almost raw and crumbled, they need to be fried or toasted alot more! Would go back for a shot of tequila though! read more

Excellent location close to Eppley Airfield. I had the Cilantro Lime margarita and tacos with beans and rice and the salsa trio. The salsa was good, but very mild. I prefer a little more kick when you have pay for salsa. Tacos were great, but the sweet potatoes were a little too crunchy so some of the flavor was lost. Shrimp and bacon taco was divine! Overall worth my money. I will be back next time I am in town! read more

We were invited to Yelp event to try out this restaurant. The service was on point. First we tried the house margarita which was paired with a flight of dips. I was very impressed with the flavors of the salsas, all different and all fresh. The mango salsa was a favorite as was the guac. The chips seemed to be a little hard which I was not fond of, but that is a personal preference. All of the margaritas were fresh maid (hand squeezed juice, house made syrups and well crafted). You can tell if a margarita was made with a mix. These were near perfection. The Blackberry & Lemon margarita was nice and not so overly sweet. The Jalapeño Grapefruit was delicious and had the right amount of heat. Next, they brought out an ample sample of ceviche. It was delicous! Following that, the chef brought out barbacoa on the bone (which it's rumored they will be adding to groups to order). The barbacoa literally fell of the bone. Impressive. It was very flavorful and was part of our next taste: barbacoa tacos. Simply amazing and tender. It was paired with a reposado which was very smooth with a slight hint of vanilla. The final course was desert. They served us up a bowl of arros con leche (rice and mango). It was very satisfying. They paired it with an anjeo, which again was very smooth with a little smoke. The overall experience was excellent and we will be back! read more

The margs were so good I didn't even snap a picture. They make their margs from juice squeezed in house which makes them the best in town. The variety of margs is also a huge win. I tried the original (staple) and the pineapple mezcalita. I am a Mezcal girlie and I loved it. Definitely lighter on the smoky side but really balanced with the pineapple. The chips and guac were a hit for the table. Their chips are so crunchy and sturdy enough to handle the guac. This might just be the next happy hour spot!!!! read more

My family came to Omaha during a family vacation and saw this restaurant on Yelp. This place sits in a great location pretty close to the riverfront area. The food here was pretty good. Make sure to order the homemade tortilla chips and salsa flight. The tuna tortas were amazing and my husband loved his shrimp and cheese empanadas. My son got the barria tacos and loved them, and my tacos were also pretty good. As for service, the waitress was very sweet and made some great suggestions. The other waiters seemed pretty nice too. Would I go back? If I lived in the area, yes. I feel the prices were right and the food was good. Everyone left with happy bellies, and I call that a win. read more

Drinks | Vibes | Pulled Chicken Rice Bowl Drinks - They have a great selection of drinks in the tequila/mezcal realms. I had the Mezcal old fashion, which was a solid drink. It was not OMG status. But I would happily get it again. But, if I went back, I would explore their many margarita options. Vibes - We went on a Saturday at 5 pm with another couple. By the time it was 6 pm, it was packed and had a 20-minute wait with all of the inside and outside seating full. So, it is a popular spot. It is a great spot to bring friends and start or end your night. We had a spectrum of people, from dates to girls' nights out, to teenagers vibing after a soccer game. Pulled Chicken Rice Bowl - I had the Chicken Torta but remixed it and put it in a Rice Bowl for a $2 upcharge. It was well worth the upcharge. I really enjoyed the flavors and combination of rice, salad, tomato, and avocado. Overall the meal had great balance and taste. It was very filling, and I would put it in the wow category. Next time I go - I will definitely get this again. Pro Tip: They have street parking in front and behind the restaurant. Therefore, you don't need to add much time to your travel when planning to go there. Pro Tip: Make a reservation if you go during peak brunch or dinner hours on the weekends. It will be packed because it is in one of the more popular areas in the city. read more

Incredible! You can tell the owner and chef have a passion for bringing you unique and authentic food.
