    Had a great time celebrating a friend's birthday here. It was great that we were able to reserve a table in the basement. We were able to get a few boots for the table and hang out. It was also nice that you can order food and they'll bring it down for you. It did suck because the room as small but they have the music on like it should be an outdoor venue so everyone did have to talk loudly or yell at times to be heard. Only one bartender was down there for the longest time too, so would be nice to have a second so it doesn't take so long.

    With a selection of 60 beers on tap (flights available) and fantastic pub grub, this is one of our go to spots in Omaha. The blackstone Rueben is excellent (we get it on sourdough because my spouse doesn't like rye bread). And the fried bell peppers are amazing. Tuesday night is Pint Night. $5 for a beer from the sponsoring brewery with $4 refills. And you get to keep your first glass to take home. This has been our #1 pub to hit when we are in Omaha for over 10 years. Great ambiance and you can play keno, too!

    WOW! I am impressed with this space! Our waiter (I am so sorry I forgot your name - he was tall with a great tan and blonde hair) was amazing. Very tentative and friendly! The cider was phenomenal and the garlic fries were yummy! While I didn't participate in Pint Nite, I recommend coming here for it or trying their ciders on tap!!

    It's not a classy bar, but it's authentic, cozy and the Reuben is indeed delicious! We sat at the bar around 1 pm on a weekday. Not too busy, and the waitstaff was attentive but not pushy. The Reuben was delicious! The meat was savory but not overly salty, and didn't overwhelm the sauerkraut or rye. Plus the pickle is always a welcome addition. Definitely worth the price! The Reuben egg rolls were a nice twist, and not as sharp as the sandwich. The beer list is extensive and fairly priced, and they offer 5 oz pours if you want to sample. Good local and regional craft beers to choose from. The seating in the back looked cozy but also looks like it could get cramped when full. Plenty of TVs and keno machines to keep you occupied too. Would definitely come back!

    If I had written my Crescent Moon review about five years ago, it would have been five stars. But I didn't have Yelp then and unfortunately, my most recent experience bumped it down to a 4 star. They used to do karaoke and it was the best in the city, so I'm not sure why they did away with it. We were there almost every weekend, so I was extremely sad about that. There are still some fun events though. The second to most recent time I was there was for a drag bunch that was a great time, so check their events on Facebook to see what's upcoming. Our most recent visit was during the holidays and Max and Joe's was doing a holiday pop up. It was a little too busy in there, so we stayed on the Crescent Moon side. Our server was one of the most unpleasant people I've ever met. Very short and snippy with us. I know they were busy and everything, but there's no need to be rude. My husband saw that someone had a fish bowl drink at the table next to us and he was going to ask her what the drink was in it and before he could even get the question fully out of his mouth she shouted YOU CAN'T GET BEER IN IT! When he hadn't even asked about beer, so I was super confused. He got just a normal drink to avoid asking anything further about the fish bowls. He had asked our server for a water also and it never came. He decided to just go to the bar and ask for a water. Our server happened to be the one at the bar, though. He asked "hey, can I get just a water?" And she again SHOUTS at him "You can ASK for one!" Like he hasn't just asked with a fully fledged question mark at the end. It was just all around a super bizarre experience. The food was still on point, as it had been all the other times I'd ever ate there. The Black Forest ham melt is the bomb, and they have the best Reuben in town. The beer was also crisp and cold. I still recommend you go there and try the food/drinks, just maybe go at a time when they're not as busy, as it seemed to trigger our sever to have a pretty bad attitude.

    We stopped in for a drink at their holiday, pop-up and had a delightful time. Even though there was only one bartender on the holiday pop up side, he was courteous and quick with making drinks. The holiday special drinks were all delicious, and as always, they have quite an extensive beer menu. Overall, Crescent Moon remains a staple and Blackstone and is always a delight to visit!

    Jennifer M.

    Fantastic beer selection! Stopped here on a Tuesday night and they usually do $5 pints but were running a mystery holiday beer selection for $3 instead. I've lived in Omaha 18 years and had not yet tried their famous Rueben sandwich. I'm not much of a sandwich person but it was pretty good with lots of chopped corned beef and good amount of sauerkraut. Tater tots were a solid choice, not oily.

    Reuben Egg Rolls
    Greg W.

    Great spot with a lot of history. The Reuben egg roll is a special treat, you won't regret it. The blackstone Reuben is perfect, wash it down with a pickle flavored beer.

    What a buffet!! Moon Brunch worth fighting the construction traffic for. Then add Yacht Rock DJ's Dark & Stormy to the mix and you have a hit!! Great buffet variety, Made to order omelets, breakfast pizza, danish, fruit, biscuits and gravy and more.

    Loaded Potato Soup

    We saw a video where it said that the Reuben was created here and knew we had to try it. It's your traditional bar grill atmosphere. They have a large menu so something for everybody. The had a kids menu as well which always gets bonus points from me . The server we had was very friendly and our food came out very fast. The Blackstone Reuben was exceptional. The location is great a nearby other pubs and dessert places as well! We will be back when in town

    Schell's and Ruben Reuben Egg Rolls

    What a gem of a place. Was greeted by Chris with a huge smile and a friendly greeting. He suggested several so I tried 2 of them. Over 60 on tap you can't go wrong. The Beer was awesome however the Ruben Egg Rolls were "out of this world amazing". Traveling from out of town, however if I lived here this would be one of my weekly stops. Chris was awesome, friendly and very attentive. 5 stars all the way!!

    Totchos
    Lee Ling C.

    We love this place! It's a lil retro interior and they have fancy unique drinks (I didn't manage to take photo of it), and their food is good. I had the totchos for the brunch samples it's was good. They have some cheese and beef with some tomatoes on top of the tots, and the tots are still crunchy. There is only one waitress/bartender working that day and she was super helpful with the drinks and food.

    Blackstone Reuben
    Lesley M.

    I agree wholeheartedly with my husband's review. This was not how I anticipated reviewing based on all of the feedback I've heard about this place. Yes it was busy, and yes, they might've been shortstaffed, but it still stinks to sit and wait over 30 minutes for food and not have a very attentive server. I kept hearing the hype of how awesome their Reuben was, but it was not worth it for me. I personally didn't think the meat had much flavor, and what flavor I could taste was the toasted bread and sauce. I will definitely try again because some of their brunch items looked delicious, and the atmosphere of the bar looked pretty cool if you wanted to watch a local college sport on their TVs.

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.

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!

I came for the Detroit-style pizza, easily the most underrated pizza style there is. If you know, you know. I ordered The Cadillac: cream cheese, cherry peppers, hot honey. On paper, it's chaos. In practice? A beautifully thought-out balance of sweet and spicy. Rich without being heavy, heat without going overboard. Someone in that kitchen gets it. And for a moment, it's flirting with greatness. Almost a perfectly executed Detroit pie... until the crust. That signature Detroit crisp--the caramelized, fried-edge crunch--is just a little undercooked. Not bad, but quickly soggy. Just missing that final snap that makes this style elite. Still, credit where it's due. This is a valiant effort, and not an easy style to pull off outside its home turf. I see you, Omaha. You're closer than you think!
