But I'm not going to downgrade a restaurant because they are sold out of a signature food item. It takes time to make smoked meats and you can't just pull it out of a freezer like they would do at some places. They did have the smoked chicken breast. So we got that along with the fried catfish. It was all good so I can't complain more than a little. Their sides are really good, I love the spicy pickle mix. I also got the elote and it was delicious. Next time I come here, if they are out of the chicken, I will probably just order a bunch of side dishes. They have so many that's it's hard to decide on just 2. Service was great. Ambiance is nice. There is a big sports screen and they were showing the Little League College World Series. Last time I went they were showing something unusual too but I can't remember what it was. Just that it was more interesting than the usual. Which fits, because their food is much more delicious and interesting than you can get at "the usual" barbecue places.

Just amazing. I have also had the BBQ in the KC MCI Airport where they serve really good drafts alongside their really good BBQ. These guys are not like Pinkerton's where you are in a line up picking out your meats and sides cafeteria style. This place was the sit down with a menu and make your selections type of place. This is not a downside by any means...just different than what I experienced in Texas, more like the place at the MCI Airport. Anyways, hubby, son, and I selected the burnt ends, pulled pork, chicken, kielbasa sausage, double order of brisket, and ribs. Sides we chose included slaw, Mac n cheese, cornbread, and fried onions. All of the sides were really tasty, I can't choose a favorite, because I really liked all of them. The meats were all tender, the chicken was slightly on the drier side, but the rib meat fell off the bone, the sausage was juicy, the pulled pork was just right in flavor and tenderness, the burnt ends were amazing, and the brisket was tender and quite flavorful. And on the side of all of this loveliness were the sauces. You got 3 kinds to choose from: Spicy, sweet, and the traditional bbq. I liked all three. Hubby liked to mix all 3 together. And son of mine preferred the sweet one. We were dead silent aside from the sounds of yum coming from us. It reminded us of the MCI airport bbq place. Servers were pleasant, the place was clean as well. This was a very pleasant surprise to find here in Omaha. I will most definitely come back again!

The brisket we ordered was thin, dry, and not even a pound, even though we paid for it. The burnt ends were also terrible, chewy, and dry.

The server was very accommodating and kind.

Hadn't been to Cracker Barrel in literal years, and with some folks craving breakfast for dinner,…read morewe decided to give it a whirl. We were seated right away and told about the specials, which was a nice touch. Our server was friendly and took our drink orders while we looked over the menu. Not much seemed to have changed since my last visit, which is both comforting and a little nostalgic. I went with my old standby: grilled tenders, carrots, green beans, and hashbrown casserole. We also got adventurous with the mini pecan sticky buns. Cute presentation in a tiny cast-iron skillet, but unfortunately, the buns were lukewarm and more runny than sticky. When our meals arrived, the first thing I noticed was that portions seemed smaller. The chicken, carrots, and green beans were solid, but the hashbrown casserole lacked flavor. Some of my dining partners found their breakfasts a little on the cool side with gravy starting to congeal. Not bad, not amazing, just a little disappointing. We did not leave hungry, but it did not quite hit the spot. On the bright side, a stroll through the store was as fun as ever, with old-time candy, quirky gifts, and treasures galore. We be back, probably just to shop.

Bumped up the star because Kelsie, our server was great. We came in about an hour before closing and she had a smile on her face the whole time and didn't rush us out the door. Split the checks about six ways and did a good job taking care of our group. Wouldn't be my first choice for a steak, but if you're craving a steak, this should do the job.

Pomodoro's was the "Food Truck Friday" feature on August 13th at Elk Creek Crossing and the…read moreopportunity to avoid cooking on Fridays is always appealing. We traveled a few blocks for fresh homemade Italian dishes, along with a number of neighbors who had the same idea. Arriving at 5:45-shortly after the 5:30 start time, we were surprised at the line that quickly multiplied with families taking advantage of the great weather and playground equipment that kept the young ones occupied. A wide variety of menu options were available including fresh pasta with a choice of alfredo, marinara or meat sauce. Meatball, brats and Italian sausage subs topped the sandwich offerings. Hamburgers and fries were offered but I didn't see or hear anyone ordering from the grill. A children's menu and family feast were also listed on the hand lettered menus taped to the truck. I ordered the fresh pasta with meat sauce and added a meatball. My husband opted for the Italian sausage sub with potato salad. My entree came with a breadstick and the meat sauce was so packed with meat that I probably could have skipped the added meatballs. My husband raved about his Italian sausage sandwich and I was impressed that they wrapped the bun in foil to keep it from soaking up sauce on the trip home. We had a short 5-7 minute wait for our meals which was delivered in foam takeout containers. Plastic napkin wrapped silverware was available for those eating in the park. The young lady taking orders was well equipped for the crowd and kept the line moving very efficiently. Credit cards were accepted and someone from the kitchen shouted a "thanks for coming" as we exited with our order. Food truck Friday is a welcome addition in our neighborhood and Pomodoro's did not disappoint.

From the nicely sized loaded taters to the spicy hot links, to the tender ribs, to the succulent pulled pork, it's all so good. They even have great curly fries, and I'm not usually a big fan of curly fries because they are so often dry. One of my favorites from here is the open-face sandwich. It's Texas toast, mashed potatoes, brisket, and gravy. I add their pickled jalapenos on top of it, and it is heaven on a plate! Another thing about them that I love is that their ribs aren't swimming in sauce. They use a wonderful rub on them, and they have some really good sauces that you can add yourself if you want, so you can control how messy your ribs are. I find that I never really need the sauce because the ribs are flavorful, moist, and tender on their own. It's smoky goodness through and through. If you do prefer sauces, rest assured, they have some tasty options for you. The portion sizes are not skimpy, and we always feel like we get our money's worth. They have a nice, big menu board that is easy to read, and the prices for everything are clear. They also offer some great free condiments that elevate the menu offerings. Over by the soda machines, they have a small salad bar-style setup that includes sliced raw onions, pepperocinis, pickled jalapenos, dill pickle slices, and the like. It really makes the meal!

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.
