I love how transparent this menu is for GF, vegan, and vegetarian options. Their patio is also…read moremostly covered which is great on a hot sunny day! TONS of seating and the servers are great. We tried some new items out this time. If you're looking for a mocktail - try the berry basil smash. It's light refreshing, and packed with some fruity flavors. The stir fry noodle dish (I removed the egg) was delicious but VERY salty. Lots of good texture and flavors happening. Tuna poke was delicious and fresh! There is a paid garage and street meters for parking.

The service here is amazing, never had a bad experience with the waiters/waitresses, and they…read morealways provide great recommendations, including beers from their draft list! We typically start off with the bacon fondue fries, they are astounding, and is a repeat order EVERY single time. The first time we ate here I got the BBQ Chicken Mac & Cheese. This literally was like I was experiencing eating mac & cheese for the first time all over again. I personally love how the cheese sauce is a little more on the liquidly side, but not too much where the noodles don't keep any on them. The barbecue sauce used pairs sooooo well with the cheesy liquidly goodness, and the chicken and green onion tops it all off with the perfect crunch! Past the food, I love the beers here and love a good brewery vibe you get, you can for sure taste how much effort goes into their local drafts. Will always be at the top of my list for date nights or a quick bite and drink.

We were told by our Uber driver that we had to visit the Crescent Moon Ale House for their version…read moreof the Reuben. We were being driven to the Orleans Room for their Reuben, which was excellent by the way. I can't say the same for the Crescent Moon sandwich. Crescent Moon is actually just kitty corner of the Orleans Room, so the walk was short. It is basically a dive which is fine, we expected that by the Uber driver's comments. The Deep Fried Pickles were excellent. The three ciders that our daughter sampled were not pleasing to her, so she had a cocktail. I had a Sierra Nevada Pilsner, which was fine. But the Reubens, and why we came, were awful. Our daughter, said it best when the sandwich had a mayonnaise texture. I realized the 1000 dressing that was served on the Reuben was too heavy of mayo. The presentation was also terrible. Open them up so we can see the inside of the sandwich, and both slices of the bread were broken...as you can see on the pics. We packaged the sandwiches to go as were were planning to be on a plane the next day back to Oregon. We intentionally left them at the table. They were that bad. Zoe was a pleasant BT/Server who was available whenever we needed her. But food is why we went there, and it was not good.

Classic Omaha dive/German bier hall. It's really a gem in the midtown area, especially around…read moreOktoberfest and Christmas! They have a great selection of German and euro beers, in addition to domestic and mixed drinks, seltzers, etc. The food is definitely a reason to check it out! They have one of--maybe THE--best Reuben in Omaha, so if you're looking for good food and good beer, check it out! The Oktoberfest party is epic, definitely come check that out, and it's pretty fun at Christmas, all the decor is very euro-Christmas vibes. The service is great, quick, friendly, and no nonsense, just what you'd expect from a dive.

Excellent selection of craft beers! And the bourbon bbq pizza was fantastic! Friendly service…read more(order at the bar then either sit there or go find a table). They have a variety of games, like Yahtzee, Jenga, Shut the Box, etc that you can play at your table for free. On the weekend, the kitchen has a more limited late night menu. Still a good selection of appetizers and pizza as well as all the beers. Definitely will be back!

First impressions? Huge, bright dining room! Almost distractingly so. But let's be honest--I didn't…read morecome to Backlot Taphouse for the square footage. 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!
