In town visiting our kids from Florida and we stopped in JST for lunch yesterday. My lunch was absolutely delicious! I had The Cobblestone salad... Chef's kiss. The steak was cooked perfectly! We were sat right upfront to over look the old market and it was clean and I loved the home feel of the space, very casual and comfortable. Our server (ugh, can't remember his name) was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. The ONLY thing that was a downside is that on yelp it says the restaurant is pet friendly and that is not the case. We traveled with our puppy and we had to leave her back at my daughter's apartment downtown which was a big bummer. Other than that, not one single bad this to say. read more

JST is an old standby for brunch in the Old Market. Typical street parking or there is a parking garage about a half block away. We were seated promptly on a Sunday morning, but it was getting busier when we left. The California omelet is my go-to with the fresh avocado! They do have a full brunch cocktail menu available as well. Service is always good and reliable. read more

We found Jackson Street Tavern on Yelp while looking for a place to eat that was 1. walkable to our hotel, and 2. would have hamburgers for the kids. This fit the bill so we walked over around 5pm one evening for an early dinner after spending the day exploring the zoo. When we arrived the place was pretty empty - think maybe two tables occupied, and the hostess asked us if we had a reservation. We did not, and honestly she seemed a bit put out for a bit. I kind of wondered if we were going to be able to eat in this empty restaurant, but alas she decided it was okay and we were seated. This is one of my pet peeves at restaurants. I know, I know, that there could have been a ton of business booked for later, but it's such a bad look to make such a big deal about reservations when the place is empty. Also - while it did start to fill it was by no means full by the time we left. At any rate, things perked up at that point and we all got seated, ordered drinks, food etc. and had a good time. The server was kind and thoughtful and the food was pretty tasty. I had the fish and chips and shared it with my husband as the entrees are a good size here. My six year old had the kids hamburger, though we did have a bit of a scare when the server said "your cheeseburger will be out soon!" we had a long wait on the kids meal and when she said cheeseburger I immediately said - "no cheese!" the menu item was described as a "hamburger" with no mention of cheese and our kid doesn't like cheese her burgers so that was a really close call. I sort of got the impression that server wasn't accustomed to kids, but when the burger came out it was right and even though she had to wait, my kiddo gave it two thumbs up. Overall this is a good pub style restaurant in Old Town. Nothing really to write home about, but they do have decent food and local beers which was all we really cared about after a long day at the zoo. read more

Ambiance was nice and service was excellent. The chicken parmigiana was ok. Chicken breast needed to be tenderized or butterflied.

My better half & I happened to be downtown and was looking for a chill spot to grab a cocktail. We popped into JST and the whole vibe was solid. However, the highlight is when that big garage door is open and the whole spot has that breezy, Old Market open‑air energy that makes you want to stay awhile. Food wise- We split the Nebraska Burger and the Shrimp Scampi, and both were delicious. The burger had that perfect local‑beef richness everyone raves about, and the scampi was buttery, garlicky, and exactly what you want it to be. Zero misses. Drink wise- My better half ordered the Strawtini and immediately hit me with the "oh wow" face. She said it was amazing. I tried the Old Infusion, and it just wasn't for me... so I pivoted to a dirty martini, and that one landed perfectly. Clean, cold, and DIRTY dirty. Everything a dirty martini should be. Service wise- On point the whole time. Friendly, quick, and genuinely attentive. We'll definitely be popping back in when we're downtown this summer. Great food, great drinks, great service. read more

We had an exceptionally nice lunch. Service was friendly and attentive, restaurant was relatively quiet for mid afternoon. We enjoyed the charcuterie plate was which was really generous for two people. Pretty outdoor seating area works well during good weather. Metered Street parking is available but can be a little tight during busy times. Difficult these days to find a restaurant open during the day for a meal and Jackson Street Tavern is definitely a place to stop! We also had the ribeye, which was a very good meal that included mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and shoestring onion rings. Can you say : to go box?! Overall, a nice visit to an old haunt. A little bit of sticker shock for the price of the meal for two people, but I think that's just the general direction of things these days. Full bar service available as well as many N/A options. Highly recommend the Jackson Street Tavern ! read more

We went Monday late afternoon and the front of the restaurant is roll top doors and they were open so it felt like an open air restaurant on the beautiful day. We go lunch food, burger and salad. The plates were quite huge and we had to take home 1/2 our meals. The burger is fresh made (not a frozen puck) and tasted nice and beefy. The salad was meal sized with quality toppings and freshly cooked fish. This restaurant was not crowded. If you find yourself in Old Market and want a relaxing meal, this is the place to go. read more

My husband and I stopped into Jackson Street Tavern after a day downtown, and we were so happy at the discovery! The whole ambiance was very homey and casual, with an exposed ceiling, wood panel walls, black and white photos, and industrial looking hanging lights. The staff were also really kind and chill and gave great recommendations. And the laid-back/cool vibe also translated to the food. Very hearty, big portions, and super tasty! We started with a Caesar Salad and the Poutine, and both were excellent. The Caesar was well dressed and large (we shared it), and the Poutine was also a big portion and had lots of toppings of a brown demi-glace gravy, cheese curds, and chives. Our entrees were also amazing: -My husband got the Jammin Salmon, which was a good size filet, topped with a jerk rub, pineapple mango salsa, and a side of jasmine rice - which sounds like a lot of different components, but all the flavors worked so well together! -I got the Gnocchi Saltimbocca (I'm a huge Gnocchi fan), and this dish was AWESOME. Proschiutto wrapped pieces of chicken, delicious béchamel sauce, and of course the pillowy gnocchi. It reminded me of a fancy version of the Chicken and Gnocchi from Jimi D's. It was so simiar that I Googled and found out the two are related restaurants! Love it. We were stuffed at this point, but had to top off our meal with something sweet, and we picked the Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding. We are both bread pudding fans, and this was one of the best we've had! Not too sweet in terms of the bread pudding portion, but topped with caramel, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream - so definitely a nice dessert, but not overly sweet! If you're in the downtown area and looking for a nice local spot with great food at a nice price, give Jackson Street Tavern a try - you will definitely find something to fall in love with! read more

Stopped in for dinner with friends on my last night in town. We ate on the patio and it was perfect weather with perfect service. We shared a platter of wings to start and I moved on to a Nebraska burger with a side of poutine for my main. The burger was huge and a bit under seasoned, but cooked a perfect medium. The Dogfish Head was served cold and the poutine was a generous portion. read more

I came here for dinner with some friends. It was my first time here. It was in the Blackstone area and the restaurant had a cool vibe. We came on a night after the dinner rush so it was not busy at all. We were seated immediately. Our waiter Zane came to our table and once he learned it was our first time, he gave us recommendations on the menu. I chose the spicy margarita which was excellent. It had a good amount of spice and I could also taste the alcohol. For my meal I got the ahi tuna, it was cooked perfectly. Zane checked on us multiple times and made sure we had everything we needed. This place had a laid back atmosphere, great staff and food and I will definitely be back. read more

Definitely would order the same food on our return visit - it was that good!! read more

Downtown Omaha has a ton of choices, and each one has a little something different. Whether you want casual, bar & grille, or maybe a little upscale, you'll have good luck at Jackson Street Tavern. The menu alone has great range, even if that range isn't all that deep. But from Bolognese through seafood to the predictable steak specialities, there is something for most anyone. In a hurry, I chose some mac 'n cheese with a bleu cheese/chicken kicker and it was really solid. Creamy macaroni, great cheesy sauce, and coupled with a protein makes for an excellent plate. My lovely wife selected the shrimp tacos (and paired that unconventionally with killer sweet potato fries) and the tacos got it done. It's Nebraska, so the shrimp probably isn't as local as beef or pork options, but they were good all the same. Park on the street, if you can, and reserve ahead if you have the time. The service is friendly and attentive, pricing is a smidge high but aligned with the area, and the space is minimally decorated but still very tasteful. If the garage door is open to the street in nicer weather, then the space spills on to the patio to extend the vibe. Great space, good food, and a great spot. read more

Stopped in for lunch so glad we did. Service was spot on as was the food. I ordered the special soup of the day which was buffalo chicken. I do not like big pieces of chicken really I prefer shredded. However this was perfect. It had very small cubes of chicken and not too much of it, and the cream base was just right as far as spice level, and there was also some spinach thrown in which went well. Another person in my group had the French onion soup, which looked amazing and she really enjoyed it although she thought maybe a bit too much bread, but she said the taste was great. Another in our group ordered the Jojo salad with crispy chicken and was a much larger salad than anticipated, especially considering she ordered the small. Everything was very good. And service was amazing! read more

Jackson street tavern is a popular choice for tourists staying in the old market area and I thought the food was pretty solid. The service at our table was really good. Our server was really friendly and personable, the hosts however were pretty antisocial and whispered to each other awkwardly. The staff here is mostly teenagers/20 year olds. The ambiance is cute, it's like a regular pub with some larger tables to sit at. There is a lot of room in here for groups. The food was great. I had the cavatappi with scallops crab and shrimp and I was pretty shocked at how good the seafood was considering Omaha is nowhere near the ocean. The dish was a good portion and the sauce was more complex than just a regular canned alfredo which is kinda what I expected. So it was good slightly above expectations and I was pleased with what I ate. Overall I think they have plenty of options for most people and the food was good so I'd be back! read more

This place is AMAZING and we received excellent service by Zen. I ordered the Berkshire Pork Osso Bucco and the meat fell right off the bone. The flavor is making my mouth salivate writing this review. I highly recommend... Zen recommended this "All Day Long" and he was right. We had the hot wings for appetizers and super delicious. Inside is super nice. Great place to take your significant other for date night. Has the romantic feel with the casual look. Highly recommend!!! read more

We stopped in for drinks and apps before a show at the Steelhouse. My wife loved her strawtini and our friend liked her P&P. My old fashioned was very meh. Drink prices are very reasonable. We got the spinach artichoke dip, shrimp scampi, and taquitos. They were all very good. You get 3 of the taquitos of good size, filling had good flavor. Scampi was solid. Spinach artichoke was good but the chips were a little stale. Was better with the bread that comes with the scampi. Service was friendly, a little slow but we weren't in a hurry so wasn't a big deal to us. Another table did have to ask to be served. It was kinda strange there was no mood music or any sound over the speakers but more of a personal thing. Definitely would go back. read more

What a great find !! It's downtown Omaha and easy to get to. Has an outside dining area but we went inside to the bar. Not real busy but plenty of people to add to the ambiance of a "happy place". Joe was our Bartender.... Very nice young man. Attentive but not overbearing. After a short conversation, Joe suggested a beer for me... zip-line. ... I said Yes !! It was good. Not super hungry so we ordered the Nebraska Burger to split. It was a mixture of short rib, chuck, & brisket with cheese, grilled onions and bacon. It was full of flavor !! We ordered sweet potato fries on the side. This is a BIG yes for y'all to stop in. The menu has a pretty wide selection of food from which to choose. read more

This place was highly disappointing. Came here today, on a Sunday afternoon. Was seated promptly. The server asked if we wanted drinks, we asked if we were able to order from the dinner menu, it was 1:25pm and our server said we had to wait until 2. We ordered the poke nachos and the rest of my party placed their order while I waited until 2 to place mine. The poke nachos were underwhelming. The chips were stale. Our server rarely came to check up on us or anything. I looked at the tables around us and they received their orders fairly quickly. They had a male server who seemed attentive, while we had a female server, I believe her name was Lendsey based on the receipt. I looked at the tables around and they had food from the dinner menu.. so why did our server say we had to wait until 2 if we wanted the dinner food? My party received their food about 25-30 mins after placing it and then finally I ordered my pasta. The pasta was okay, needed more salt. Wish I got it without the cheese cause I'm not a fan. This place really put me in a bad mood. I should honestly probably give it 1 star. Seeing the other Yelp elites rating this place 5 stars made me hopeful, but I would not recommend coming here. I'm visiting from California and every other restaurant I went to during my visit was a positive one except this one. Please do better. read more

I can sum this one up quickly. The absolute best burger I have ever tasted - period. The Reuben is one of the best Reuben's as well. Both came with fries, which were a bit soggy, but flavorful. Ambiance is nothing to write home about - basic bar scene, but the food is not bar food. Service by Sam was great. He recommended the Nebraska burger over a couple of other sandwich choices for lunch. He was spot on. He told me the Nebraska burger actually finished second in Omaha as the best burger. I told him politics must've been involved! The meat is a local blend of short rib, chuck, and brisket. Fantastic flavor and so juicy. It is topped with thick bacon, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, and garlic aioli. Order like they make it - don't screw with the formula! read more
