Son want try Ruben sandwiches style and this place it's best vote. It's Irish style restaurant. You seat your self. Waitress come ask for drinks and other waitresses come take order. Good come fast. Son order Ruben sandwich and he said he happy with the taste :), hubby ordered classic sandwich and he said it's good too. I may self order fish and chips that never can go wrong with it and it's can be easy as a take out when I can't finish it. Place it's busy and loud and seating very close to each other.

Steak Philly
Connor L.

Barrett's is a great vibe, always lively. One of my favorite Phillies in town. Haven't had a bad meal here. Service was a miss on Saturday evening. It was busy but my two buddies, my toddler, and I got a table right away. The server seemed flustered she came around and grabbed us adults waters but didn't acknowledge I had my toddler for a kids water or a high chair. My friend spotted the high chairs from across the room and grabbed us one. Which is completely fine just wish we were pointed in the direction. After the drink order it was a bit slow to bring drinks and take food order but again it was busy and I think she was having a tough night. I got the chicken Philly loaded with jalapeños. My buddies both got beef Phillies loaded. They had beers. I got the kids mini corn dogs for my daughter. Food came out great as usual. Piping hot. The curly fries were a hit for my toddler. Overall solid meal. Their ranch is unique and I always get one and think idk if I actually like this or not but the next time I'm there I order it again. The parking is rough but nothing they can do about it. Definitely a spot to check out in Omaha.

Fries

Okay, very chill bar vibes here! My husband got their Philly, which was SO GOOD. Compared to Philly Phillies, they are a top contender. I got the wings and while they were good, just a little small! But sauce was good! Last min decided to get their famous fries to go and so glad we did because they were insane. Crispy and seasoned to perfection. Great service too!

You'll love this place if you love home style food in a dive bar vibe. They nail all the classics. It's not fancy and we like it that way. Great Rueben's and phillys. I really enjoyed my taco salad. Be prepared to sit close and get there early for good parking

Worst Philly cheese steak
Based O.

I stopped in while visiting town after seeing this spot all over TikTok but honestly, it's not what the videos make it out to be. The Philly cheesesteak was disappointing: bland, nothing special, and definitely not worth the hype. The food overall felt pretty average, nothing that stood out. That said, the ambiance was actually nice great lighting, comfortable setup, and plenty of TVs for watching the game. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food doesn't live up to the social media buzz. Wouldn't recommend the Philly cheesesteak, but if you're just looking for a chill spot to hang out and catch a game, it's okay for that.

Shrimp po boy with curly fries
Natalie L.

My family heard this was a spot one of the Creighton basketball players recommended to try so we gave it a whirl. We ordered curly fries for the table, a Ruben, maverick burger, shrimp po boy, and a chicken Philly. Everything was absolutely delicious. I got the shrimp po boy that came with lettuce, tomatoes, and Cajun sauce. The crunch from the fried shrimp paired well with the soft bun making sure it wasn't too crunchy. The menu here has so many options I wasn't surprised that there were people waiting on tables.

Patty Melt
Amy R.

Wanted a bite to eat and a place to watch the games on Sunday while traveling through Omaha and this recommendation from a friend, even though it was a bit out of the way, did not disappoint! Parking can be tough if it's busy but I was able to get a spot in the small lot before it became crowded. Even as a visitor, I received friendly service, and you can tell they have a great regular crowd. The vibe was your typical sports pub vibe and the food I would say is above average for pub fare, and decent prices. I had a whiskey sour and patty melt, and I'd say it was one of the better patty melts I've had in a while, I appreciated the 1/3 burger and lots of cheese! If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely return.

Chicken Philly and Side Salad
Keaton S.

Great French dip a little on the greasier side but the flavor makes up for it. Salad is nothing special just an average bar side salad. Ranch is awesome tbh ick creamy and seasoned well.

Beef Philly 'Dugan Style' and Loaded, Fries and Homemade Ranch
Lindsey H.

Barrett's is definitely an Omaha staple and one of my favorites. The food is always hot and delicious. Definitely recommend the Beef Philly Dugan Style (in a Bowl, no hoagie) and Loaded (Peppers, Jalapenos, Mushrooms, Onions). If you're a Midwesterner, you judge a place on how good their ranch is. I'd put it up there with Runza ranch - 10/10; homemade ranch is where it's at. The service is always wonderful! Even as we walked in, the gentleman wiping down the window said he grew up in a world where ladies are first and held the door for us; so sweet and loved his enthusiasm. I've always had a special love for Irish pubs/bar and grills because every day is St. Pats and who doesn't want to celebrate. Sláinte!

Good food, good times at an Omaha classic. I tried The Blarneystone, as I try to order something that at least references Ireland if I am an an Irish bar. I liked the taste, but based on the description of "cubed turkey breast" and red onion, I didn't expect it to have such a soft texture, almost a purée. It made the sandwich quite boring to eat. The red onion was barely noticeable, would have been nice to have some sliced red onion to put on it. Or some pickles! That chip wasn't really satisfying. My daughter had the Reuben. It's definitely good, especially the meat on it. Not nearly enough sauerkraut taste or texture though, and to me that's the important thing. But a lot of people think the corned beef should be the star of the show, and I definitely recommend it for those. Crinkle fries were really good. The ketchup was kinda bland. Seems like a silly thing to complain of, but I just need more acid in a meal and some Heinz would have been better. My husband was very happy with his fish and chips. He checked first to make sure they have malt vinegar, otherwise he won't order it. I guess i didn't realize how obsessed I am with acid. Never admitted to it before, anyway. Definitely a good place to go for a bar/pub meal, though I would like a little more variety for a more "pub" feel. It's pretty sportsy in there with lots of screens and noise and that's not everyone's cup of tea. By everyone I mean me. I was going to make a comment that eating (is that the same as kissing?) the Blarneystone didn't give me the gift of gab. But now looking at my wall of text about acids, I guess maybe it did?

Ruben sandwich and French fries
Cole A.

The atmosphere is just like you moved Alex Box Stadium up north. Our waitress was running around like a chicken with her head cut off and still greeted us as happy and cheerful as can be! Fantastic job ma'am! Our sandwiches were phenomenal. I don't know how they make the cheese sauce on the Philly but it was killer! Will come back!

Chicken Philly
Scottie D.

Barrett's definitely lives up to the hype as the best Philly in Omaha! They pack it with ingredients you could easily split it with someone. The teriyaki and schezaun sauce really adds a great flavor along with the cream cheese and peppers! I also got the wings which were super crispy and seasoned perfectly! I am writing this review as I'm finishing my meal that's how good this place is. I will be back to try more of the menu, If you haven't been here get down here asap!

Visited the area and tried the popular fried pork tenderloin sandwich. I thought it was good but at the end of the day it's a fried sandwich. Nothing special but locals think it's the best thing known to man. Service was quick and good prepared quickly.

I visited Sean O'Casey's for a quick take out lunch this week and was pleasantly surprised by their…read morevariety of food options available. I went with the fish and chips and was blown away by this portion size and flavor! Two HUGE cod filets accompanied by a side of fries, but I went with the onion rings as I heard they were delicious. The cod has a thick, crunchy breading around it, making it very very filling. The onion rings were very unique. Not a long onion deep fried, but small onion pieces within the breading. I've never had something like that before, but they were golden brown and amazingly crunchy. Make sure you get extra tartar sauce for this dish because you're going to need it! Service was quick and easy for a take out order. I would come back for another meal to try their other menu options and drinks. Thanks for a great first impression!

We had potato skins with cheddar and bacon as an appetizer. It was tasty but not wonderful. Bookguy had fish and chips. The fish was great, very crispy and light. It was a big portion so leftovers provided dinner later. The fries were a generous size and good too. I had a patty melt on rye with a salad. The salad was pretty standard and I really liked the patty melt-- big enough to take half home and not greasy. It was rather noisy while we were there and they probably could have used another server. We enjoyed our lunch and plan to come back again.

For $12 ($16 usually) we couldn't beat it and HAD to try theirs. When I tell you it's perfect... I literally mean, perfect. Cream cheese to dough ratio was on point! Plenty of those fancy crispies, chives, sweet chili sauce, and each piece a decent mouth full of ALL the goodness. Naturally, the Reuben Burger because well... they boast about their Reuben meat, and they claim they're also the best. Came out piping hot, steamy corned beef, melty swiss, and a touch of tang. Typical frozen same size pattie of beef evenly cooked inside, with your average toasted rye (didn't taste like rye) bread. I heard it was "really good"! Now those hand made onion rings... definitely leave something to be desired. Disappointed that they came out damn near burnt; smelled and even worse, tasted burnt. They should've never left the kitchen like that. Ranch didn't even help in dimming down the taste, sadly. Top O' The Morning Burger WITH egg, duhhh. Again with the piping hot! The typical frozen pattie with all the fixings! The egg was done perfectly, the bacon was excellent, pickles, mayo, lettuce and tomato made each bite even better. Had I been quick to think I should've asked to see if they'd swatch some peanut butter on the bun, but maybe next time. Opted for fries, even though by default each meal came with chips. I was tickled pink when I saw they had Kindaiders Jalapeño Ale on tap! Don't mind if I do get a drinky-drink of that. Would we go again? Probably not.

We were doing a pub crawl and had a drink at each of the Capitol District bars. I think Annie's would rank probably in the middle somewhere of the places we tried. The ambiance is like a "hole in the wall" style pub with concrete floors and booths like you'd find in Dublin. There's an area at the back with leather chairs, dart boards, and a few board games. I'm not sure if it gets pretty busy at times, but we were the only group of people there when we went, and it seemed rather large and empty. The bartender was a little snippety, but I wasn't sure if this was part of the "schtick" or not, because she wasn't mean or rude, just a little short and hurrying us up to order (humming the Jeopardy theme song when someone was looking at the menu to decide). I took it as funny, so not mad about it or anything. I liked the vibe of the place feeling like you're in Ireland almost, but the cost is a bit expensive for the tiny beer sizes you get. Also you would think for trying to be an Irish pub type theme, they'd serve drinks in real pint glasses, but I got a tiny 12oz or so plastic cup of beer for $5. There are some good things about Annie's, but I think I prefer a few other places in The Capitol District, like Let it Fly or Roxxy.
