    Pitchfork Ranch Meatloaf -N- Mac Dinner Size
    Dirk N.

    Left here STUFFED! Very cool environment and helpful staff. Food and drinks were reasonable and I still can't wrap my head around chicken fried bacon WITH gravy. Meatloaf was a choice, looking back, but I was not disappointed

    Country fried bacon
    William S.

    First contact was not the best. Hostess wanted me to sit at the bar and eat because I was flying solo and she said they have lots of reservations. Well first off the place was empty and second the customer is always right so seat the customer in front of you first! Server was very friendly and was very helpful. Timely ordering and kept the water glass full. Place had good ambiance inside and out. Played good music outside on the sidewalk seating area. Food was delivered in a timely manner. Everyone raved about the country fried bacon. The quality vs value was pretty good on the appetizer but it was a 6 out of 10 at best. The dipping gravy was way too thin, add some flour!! I ordered French dip with fries. I was severely disappointed as the roast beef had no flavor at all. I left half on my plate. Fries were good.

    Went to Twisted Fork in Omaha for lunch with a group of 6 and the experience was pretty underwhelming. Service set the tone right away -- our waitress was clearly in a bad mood and not pleasant at all. No energy, no effort, just going through the motions. Food timing was messy. Five people got their meals way before mine showed up, and overall everything took way too long coming out of the kitchen. I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich. It wasn't terrible, but definitely not good either. The chicken tasted more boiled than anything, and the only "heat" came from what seemed like a heavy dose of Tabasco rather than actual flavor. We also got fried pickles as an appetizer -- those were just bad. Undercooked, soggy, and honestly looked unappetizing. The rest of the table felt the same -- food was just so-so across the board. Nothing memorable. Only highlight? The sweet potato fries were actually pretty good. Oh and the decor was ok. Overall, between the service, timing, and mediocre food, not a place I'd go back to.

    We visited Twisted Fork during Omaha Restaurant Week, and there were a few hiccups in the meal, but overall they are a nice option to try out in the Old Market. We had a truly bizarre conversation with the hostess when we called to ask if we could get a table for two. She literally for maybe five minutes just went "uhhhhhh" and "ummmmm" - she could have just said no, we did not need all the theatrics. We did end up getting a table, and headed there. The decor and ambiance is very similar to Stokes and Stokin' Goat, which makes sense, as they are part of the same restaurant group as Twisted Fork. Lots of uplighting, taxidermied (fake) animal heads, and tufted couches and cute vases. The restaurant week menu at Twisted Fork included a starter, entree, and dessert for $30 each. My husband and I both chose different options for each course, so we could both try two different options. My husband started with the Orchard Salad, and it didn't come out before the entree arrived. In fact, it still didn't come out for quite a while after we notified them. The server was very apologetic, so I don't blame them. I knew they were busy with the restaurant week crowd. I had the Flautas for my starter, and they were pretty similar to the ones at Stokes, so no complaints there. Crispy ends and softer middles, perfect flautas. For my entree, I had the blackened salmon, which came with hush puppies and a drizzle of remoulade. The fact that it was "blacked" made it pretty dry for salmon. And the hush puppies were gigantic and hard to eat, unfortunately. My husband had the Bistro Tenderloin (this is the entree he completely finished before his salad came out). He enjoyed the protein portion itself and the whipped potatoes below, but it came with a kind of odd "tomato gravy" that was not very appetizing. Dessert-wise, we had the Brownie Sundae and the Turtle Cheesecake. Both were very good and large portions so we could share them with each other. That was the bright spot at the end of the meal. So overall, I'd say Twisted Fork is an okay place to dine in the Old Market, but I prefer the other restaurant group's offerings a little more (Stokes, Taxi's, etc)

    I came to downtown Omaha to get dinner and walk around, during we happened upon this place on a Friday night. They weren't too busy which was nice, we were seated promptly, given menus and water and time to order. After deciding on an appetizer (artichoke spinach dip) we called it good. After tasting the appetizer we decided against ordering here (reason below), so we went to 'Eat the worm' instead. The trade off was worth it. Cost and flavor wise. Regardless, staff was kind and prompt, the place was clean and well staffed, food appeared quickly, and staff stayed on top of their work. *The appetizer was not my favorite/my dates favorite. For some reason it tasted like refried beans had been mixed into it, giving it a grainy texture and cheap bar food smell. Neither of us finished our portions.

    Meatloaf with mash, mac and cheese and veggies that tasted like they were from a steamer bag.
    Ken A.

    Not a bad spot for dinner when in town. The deep fried bacon intrigued me, so I started with an order for the table. Not super flavorful, but I appreciated that it wasn't greasy. In fact, it was a bit dry. For a main, I had the meatloaf with mac and cheese, veggies and mashed potatoes. The meatloaf was very dense, thinly sliced and served not quite hot with a rich, dark gravy. I felt like I got a meatloaf that would have been more "alive" at a 5pm seating, rather than an 8pm. The Mac & Cheese was wonderful and the mashed potatoes took up the majority of the plate and the steamed vegetables were under seasoned and tasted like they were straight out of a Costco bag. Service was good.

    Delicious Street Tacos

    I was so impressed with the food and service during an unexpected drop in during happy hour recently, that I had to return for the "full enchilada " and enjoy a dinnertime dining experience here. They once again, did NOT disappoint. The pot roast sandwich was super flavorful and the chef accommodating at holding the bread (as I am GF). Surprisingly for a bar n grill they offered not only wine and spirits but also a tasty selection of specialty hot teas. The vanilla choice was lovely. Friendly service and a warm, inviting & comfortable place to dine. I look forward to returning and recommending it to others.

    Truffle Chicken Pistou

    My family decided to stop here for dinner during our stay in Omaha, and we weren't disappointed. This restaurant looks for the vibe of an upscale, cowboy-style saloon, and I think it does a great job of filling those shoes. We got lucky getting one of two tables left with a walk in, as many of the tables were full due to reservations. Definitely come early or reserve a table! The food was great, with an excellent, creamy risotto and crunchy brussels sprouts. Chicken was good and had a nice crust, but I could use a few more pieces on my plate in comparison to the sides. Service was okay, but we didn't get checked on much and I wouldn't say it was anything special. Overall, I would come back for a nice dinner or maybe some more of their fried pickles if I got the chance!

    Beer

    Decent place for dinner. Our waitress was solid and professional. The hostesses need to be trained, but they will. The food was very good. Local craft beers . Clean and simple ambiance.

    Fried pickles
    Angie K.

    This claims it is chef driven with a cowboy twist. I might say hunting lodge twist, but it doesn't disappoint! It's quite a nice casual location to hang with friends. I'd imagine it might get awfully loud if it's full and if various hunting and old style saloon things offend you it may not be the place for you. It was fun in its own bizarre way. We got the fried pickles and I got the salmon sandwich. Our server was great about making sure we had whatever we needed. The fried pickles were actually pickle spears much to my surprise but I love pickles so this was the perfect ratio of fried to pickle for me. I almost remembered to take a picture of my salmon sandwich but it was so tasty I had taken several bites before it dawned on me I'd meant to take its picture. Oh well, just an excuse to go back and get another one at a future time. And actually remember to photograph it. If you're in the area give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Fish Tacos (Happy Hour)
    Jennifer M.

    Delicious bar food. Always flavorful. I got the Happy Hour fish tacos and my daughter the kids sliders. No complaints here! Plenty of food for my daughter. The fish tacos were reminiscent of the southwest rolls appetizer I'd get at some popular resturant. I'll be back for them!

The food is incredible, the space is stylish, and the service is top-notch. I brought my mother, partner, and our 8-month-old, and we all had the best time. Appetizer Highlights (Run, Don't Walk!): We started with three appetizers, and all were phenomenal: Potato Pouffs: Seriously one of my favorite appetizers ever. They are creamy and potatoey inside, served with an incredible aioli. Whipped Ricotta: Served atop the lightest, most flavorful focaccia I've ever tasted. Brussels Sprouts: They absolutely rule. Entrees & Drinks: I enjoyed the Herbal Tree drink (light, refreshing, and comes with unlimited refills--bonus!). For the main course, I had the Salmon over Sweet Corn Risotto. It tasted exactly like summer, even on a chilly fall day; I'd 100% get this again. My mother, who had never ordered steak and eggs before, took a gamble on their version and was thrilled. It's possibly the most affordable and elevated version I've seen, featuring a beautifully cooked steak with chimichurri and a super elevated potato cake (the hashbrown). Verdict: We are so lucky to have Memoir in Omaha. Go make memories ASAP!

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.

Ok the other hand, the service is rather iffy & unpredictable. The chicken & waffles is my go-to for each visit, and they have many types of delicious sides to choose from, with my favorites being the biscuits & berries, goat cheese grits, and also the fried green tomatoes. I have zero problems with the food that they serve here, they always do an excellent job at preparing whatever they need to prepare & the portions are always satisfactory. As for the service, there are days where you will receive perfect service while on others the service is not so great. Some days you will be attended to in a timely manner, while there is other days where there isn't anyone available or willing to seat you somewhere. I've also experienced instances where they didn't attend to our table to take orders until I made a complaint. Most of these instances were during days where the place was virtually empty so it's not because of the place being busy. I've also ordered take out from here before, again some instances are perfect and there's other instances where they don't tell you if a certain food is out of stock via text or call so if you ordered something that isn't in stock, you're forced to wait for them to prepare something else once you arrive to pick up your order. They also don't always include syrup or butter in the takeout bags for chicken & waffles. One minor thing I'm also disappointed about is how the portion of grits has lessened over time, going from being served in a bowl to instead being served in a small cup/mug. Overall, I certainly don't return for the service because you never really know if it's going to be a good day or a bad day for that. It's always the food that brings me back. I do want to like this place, and I do to an extent but again the service is always unpredictable. I'd still say the food is worth coming here to see how it goes.
