    Fish and chips
    Ken A.

    Been to jams a couple of time now and I can say they're a solid choice for a casual dinner. I was in the mood for fish and chips and their version of it was fun, but didn't really quench the desire. The fish was in strips like fish sticks and the chips were waffle fries. The two sauces were interesting and flavorful, but neither were a thick tartar sauce for dunking. Service was kind of snarky in a fun way, if you were in the mood for it.

    Biscuit and gravy stacker was underwhelming, but I LOVED those potatoes
    Jen M.

    I'm going to have to say that the food at Jams is not really...ummm...my jam. These "New American Cuisine" places often don't have things that really set them apart from each other. The biscuit and gravy stacker from the brunch menu was just not great to eat. It would be improved by 1. Using better biscuits and 2. using better gravy. You just can't make up for that by slapping a slice of American cheese in there and a smear of jalapeño jam. The potatoes that came with it - I LOVED those. If I go back I will see if I can get just those, and maybe some bacon. Service was good; and it is an attractive and comfortable place in the Old Market.

    Every Reaturant I been to at Old Market has been really nice with lots of ambiance. This one is no exception. The inside and bar looks wonderful. The prices on the menu here in Omaha is considerably less than Hawaii. So my Meatloaf plate was only $19.00. It was delicious served with butter string beans and baby carrots. Service was polite and spot on. Wouldn't mind tasting more of the menu next time.

    Bucatini with chicken
    Deena M.

    So don't judge this meal how it looks. Is the arugula too much? Yes. Does the chicken look over cooked? Yes. Just remove the overdone garnish and dig in. I don't know why but I have had this meal a few times and it always looks overdone but tastes great. House wine is great for a great price. Plenty to watch on tv if dining solo. I'm a fan.

    Shrimp scampi
    Ralph S.

    Visit Omaha looking for a nice little cool place to eat. The bartender was awesome. The food came out fast. I had the shrimp scampi as an appetizer. And then I had the steak Cobb salad, which was also great nice fresh vegetables steak was cooked too perfect perfection

    Short rib tacos
    Crystal B.

    Visited for lunch. The short rib grilled cheese and short rib tacos were solid. The blue crab rangoon egg rolls were amazing! Fun twist on a crab rangoon. Service was straight forward. Ambiance was modern - loved the chandeliers. I'm from out of state but would definitely visit again if I'm ever in the area again.

    Caesar chicken salad
    Samantha H.

    Came here with my bestie girl for lunch and it was so delicious. It was my first time trying their lunch menu, and i would definitely recommend. The ceaser dressing was soooo yummy and chicken was cooked perfectly. The burrata was also one of the best i've had. Our server was also very friendly & nice

    Fried chicken
    Lisa C.

    We had an early dinner on a Thursday night. The restaurant was not crowded yet so we had very good service. There are so many choices on the menu. It was hard to decide. I chose a fried chicken dish that included green beans and mashed potatoes with a gravy. It was nice comfort food but not anything I would order again. My coworker got enchiladas and she liked hers, also. Normally, I would have taken half of it home but because I was there for work and in a hotel, I had to eat my fill at the table. I overdid it but luckily there's a really nice park nearby so I could walk it off. I ended up walking back because I forgot my receipt for my expense report and they were very nice and tracked it down for me.

    Coconut Chicken Salad
    Dillon G.

    Came in on a on a weeknight because we kept walking by and seeing the impressive inside decor (including massive chandeliers) and place was pretty empty. When we were seated we got our water quickly but then it was probably fifteen or more minutes before our server came back. The food was really good but the service was spotty. I would get takeout from here but it's probably more expensive than it's truly worth.

    Finding the place took a bit cause they are borrowing the space next door for a few weeks while they make some improvements but it was well worth it! The menu is very diverse and the portions are ginormous! The steak salad in my photo is the half portion not the full! The steak was cooked just the way I ordered it and very flavorful! The meatballs were also amazing! The drinks were very tasty too. I sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly but not overly invasive. It was pretty empty while I was there on a Monday night but it did pick up a bit a little later. I won't review the ambiance or decor etc as I wasn't in their true location

    Jams has consistently been a favorite and go-to spot in Omaha over the years! It's great for groups of any size and the menu has such a great variety that it'll satisfy everyone in your group - from meatballs to tacos to brunch. I've probably had most things on the menu at this point! Standouts are the bruschetta, blue crab rangoon egg rolls, meatballs, coconut chicken strips, grilled chicken Caesar salad (honestly all the salads), and the mac and cheese. for brunch the maple bacon frenchy, the strapping lad, and the biscuits and gravy. (their breakfast potatoes are soooo good and the sausage is my favorite in the city! - I'm not even that big of a sausage person too) this place is never too busy so you rarely will have a wait and the service is pretty good. The patio is awesome when it's nice out and is covered so that is a win! Overall, Jam will remain a staple in my book! and if you get anything, make sure to try the blue crab rangoon eggrolls...Now I'm craving them!

    Chef special ... tacos good , I didn't eat the rice
    Crystal M.

    Wait staff excellent ! My tacos were good . Not much else to say. They didn't completely wow me. But they were good. A wow is , I will be back for that same dish. Others who joined had mac and cheese and said it's as okay and one had another type of taco which they said was good. Nice ambiance , no loud music Gluten free choices !

    I had the burger with bacon and cheddar. It was delicious!

I don't want to sound like an over entitled west coast food snob, but I'm afraid if I typed that it's already too late- but, I've been to the Bagel Bin, I've been to Brueger's (sp?) and I've tried a lot of bagels around Omaha and nothing was quite what I could find at home or in other metro areas, then my daughter introduced me to Know Good and I'm hooked. So delicious. The bagels are bagel-y not bready, the coffee is craft, the dining area is clean and simple, I can see the kitchen which is spotless- this is not just a good bagel shop for Omaha, this is a bagel shop that rivals just about anything I've been to anywhere. (Slight caveat, the lox is not comparable to the lox in NYC, but I don't think that really exists anywhere. Yes, I know, more coastal elite pretentiousness on my part, I'm sorry.) Staff were professional, not overly chatty, but that's not what we were looking for- they knew the menu, had suggestions, were pleasant. Seriously, the last time I was in town I stayed for a week and I came here three times, that's about the highest praise I can give.

I actually fell in love with their Grand Cru back in 2007. It used to be a must-visit spot whenever I was passing through Omaha. Truth be told this latest visit felt a bit sad. The place just seems tired these days. The beers were okay but nothing really stood out on the creative side. They did have that Space Monkey Biermosa on the board but it just did not sound appealing to me. The food was decent enough. I ordered the jambalaya and it was pretty good. It had some nice subtle heat and the shrimp were cooked well. My wife went with the Mediterranean chicken but it was a bit of a letdown. It was dry and frankly quite bland. My son had the Blonde pizza and he did not have any complaints about his choice. I really hope they find some new fire soon. It feels like things are trending in the wrong direction every time I stop by. On the bright side our waiter with the red hair was an absolute rockstar. He provided great service and was definitely the highlight of the night. I wish I had remembered his name. We will see if we stop by next time we are on the road.
