Excellent food and great service. Server was speedy and very kind. affordable and very large delicious portions

I've been to Herbe Sainte for brunch before, but this was my first time trying their dinner menu, and I loved it! I ordered the NOLA Pork and it was absolutely delicious. We also shared the artichoke crab dip, and I'm still thinking about it. My boyfriend got the surf and turf pasta, and it was just as good. I also liked that they have different seating options, and it wasn't too packed, so it made for a really nice dinner. The service was great, and everything we tried was pretty good. I'll definitely be back! read more

I went with my sister and friends on a Sunday afternoon brunch. The jambalaya was flavorful and filling. I enjoyed it. My friends had banana foster French toast, and étouffée. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Our server was so nice and looked out for us. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and the mimosas, of course! I look forward to coming back! read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was my first time checking this place out, and it definitely didn't disappoint. I ordered the Surf N' Turf Linguini, and it was incredible. It was very tasty. It reminded me of a dish I had while traveling along the coast of Italy. My girlfriend got the Nola Pork, which was also great. On top of the great food, our server was kind and attentive which added to the top experience. I'll be back soon! read more

I haven't been here in a couple years, and never for lunch, but we had a fantastic lunch service here on a weekday afternoon. The sun was shining, which, with all the windows, tables, and couches, is a total vibe. I was the first guest of the day and was greeted by a few folks, very welcoming. My guest and I had to co work a little bit before lunch. The server was really gracious and didn't hurry us along. I tried the blackened chicken sando, and it was fantastic! A great chicken to bread ration with a tasty slaw on top. I opted for the side apple salad, and it was truly a perfect mix of greens and protein and carbs, my macros were on point. Overall, a great service with great food. We'll definitely be back. read more

Awesome place, cool bar, and lounge area, if I drank this would be one of my first places I would go ! Meat board was amazing by far the best thing we had here, we added the mozzarella worth it. The shrimp roll was large portion, wasn't bad I think it being cold threw me off from loving it. The salad was ok. The butter grouper was the better entree, it did have a little heat on it, but the flavors were immaculate. Not a huge menu but several good options ! Would love to try the gumbo or crawfish ! read more

For my first time at Herbe Sainte, I had a very good experience! The location is central to many popular spots in Aksarben, so I can imagine it gets very busy here, and for a quiet Thursday I did still have to park in the parking garage, which is a short walk. Once inside, I was in awe of how beautiful decorated and fun it is! I loved the streamers for Mardi Gras, a fun homage to Herbe Sainte's Cajun roots! The ambiance was so classy and bright, with gorgeous floor to ceiling windows. I ended up ordering the Cajun Style Mac & Cheese, which was great! It was the perfect serving size and not too spicy, while still having great flavor. Our server was very attentive and the food was super speedy! I would love to come back here again for brunch sometime, and was overall left impressed. read more

The good- The Soups were amazing. We tried both the Gumbo and the White Clam Chowder. Best clam chowder I've ever had. Loved the andouille in it, too! The ambiance is nice. Feels intimate. There is a patio, but obviously not for in the winter. Decent selection of beers and cocktails at reasonable prices. The not so good- Only 2 beers on tap. 14 tables altogether, mostly 2 tops. 2 booths of 4 tops. Not really a place for groups and I imagine it can have a long wait during busy times. They do have 4 couches for waiting, but seems like wasted space they could have used for more tables at which to eat. read more

Went for apps with my friends and never disappoints! Make sure to make reservations if having a big party, there were a lot of reserved tables when we went for bigger groups. Service was awesome!

Herbe Sainte - Cajun Crab and Cakes Artichoke Crab Dip - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I want to love Herbe Sainte, because it's one of only a few Cajun restaurants left in Omaha (RIP Jazz, my favorite of all time))l. But I haven't had the best experience at Herbe Sainte so far. First off it is VERY small for being a place that serves food and can get busy. They do have a patio, but that doesn't really help in winter when you can't stand the cold to eat out there. They have a big food menu, but it seems more that the interior is based around the bar. It has an old world New Orleans feel with brick walls, concrete floors, and some Cajun looking art pieces. I have eaten at Herbe Sainte myself, and also been there for an event, so I've experienced it in a few different ways. When I ate there myself, I had the crab cakes, and they were four pretty large cakes with the remoulade sauce drizzled on top. Pretty good for an app to share, or if you are like me, as a meal in itself. At the event I attended, we had a buffet provided with a meat board, a house chopped salad, crab and artichoke dip, chicken jambalaya, and shrimp and grits, among other things that I can't recall. I think I preferred the individual ordering vs. the buffet style, as things seemed to be better prepared when the kitchen is making one entree vs. in bulk. The service was great both times I have been, so no complaints there. Always had a full glass of water or whatever drink I had to be replenished. Even though they have their ups and downs, I'd still recommend Herbe Sainte for a Cajun option in Omaha, as they seem to be a little more authentic than a few others around town! read more

This place is just the best. Their appetizers are my favorite. The crab artichoke dip is a go to, and it comes with the best bread. Their staff is lovely, and their shrimp roll is also solid. Highly recommend! read more

This is at least my third time eating here and it is always great! They don't hold back on spice so believe the peppers on the menu. Tonight I had the buttered grouper. It was cooked nicely and the dirty rice was on point. I prefer a little sear on the fish from a texture point of view but still quite good. Wine selection is fine and service staff are prompt and knowledgeable. I almost always travel and dine solo so only critique would be lack of tv or something to watch at the bar but I brought my phone so no biggie. Definitely will return! read more

Had a party of 3 and couldn't wait to try but was told they were unable to accommodate our group even tho I saw several open tables

AMAZING drinks and food. great ambiance. super looking forward to their fall drink offering. great service too

This place is great. We went for our anniversary and the manager checked in with us multiple times to make sure we were doing well. The crab cakes were delicious and whoever was bartending is amazing. They made some incredibly well-balanced cocktails. For the price point, I couldn't have asked for more. I wish Lincoln had a location so that we could go more often. read more

Service and food always on point! No matter if you're dining on the patio or inside the dining area, it's always a vibe. My personal favorite is the NOLA shrimp. It comes as an appetizer but can definitely be the star of the show for an entree as well. Don't get me started on their french 75's.....Easily one of the best in the city! read more

herbe sainte is always a great place to stop for an early dinner. i really like the cajun mac and cheese and artichoke crab dip! the patio is great for people watching in aksarben village and there's usually seats available on weekdays. otherwise i would make a reservation because their seats fill up fast read more

We came here for restaurant week, to give it a try. The menu sounded delicious. We ordered from the prefix meal, appetizers artichoke and crab dip and a bowl of gumbo. The dip was missing texture, never found the lump crab meat. My husband enjoyed the gumbo. For the main entree I ordered the crawfish etoufee and my husband had the Jambalaya. They were alright, but the jambalaya was dry and I had to point out the crawfish. We both ordered blackened shrimp also, it was very good. For dessert we both enjoyed the chocolate torte. Hard to go wrong with a good torte. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The restaurant is small and cozy with outdoor seating available. Haven't decided if it's worth a return visit yet. read more

A couple of friends and I met up for drinks here on a later Friday evening and the restaurant was fairly quiet, so we were able to be seated at a booth in the back quickly. The atmosphere inside is very nice - a bit dark, but cozy with couches along the back wall of windows rather than standard tables and chairs. Our waitress was very nice and checked in on us several times. I went with the Earl's Torment and I would highly recommend it if you like tiki drinks - it had all the tropical flavors and some sweetness. One of my friends got a mocktail with Abuelita syrup (I think it was called Panela?), which was EXCELLENT. Do not sleep on the mocktail menu here, they are crafted with care and creativity! I did also end up getting the King Cake bread pudding based on other reviews here and I was not at all disappointed! It came out hot, sweet, and full of flavor. it also looked beautiful with the traditional colored sprinkles. We weren't here for dinner, but the menu was not vegetarian friendly, so I will stick to drinks and dessert here or possibly brunch! What we came for, though, was great! read more

I stopped in on a Saturday while visiting the O and we came on the tail end of brunch. I like that it was in Aksarben so you can add it to your trip easily. I can also see this place having a chill after work vibe...the atmosphere gave living room energy. We both had a pineapple mimosa and I had the Cornbread n' Gravy which I enjoyed. Since this is a cajun style menu, I expected this to be more spicy and I'm glad that it wasn't. It was flavorful...I would eat there again. The service was average...nothing bad, but also nothing extra, at least our server was nice. read more

Great spot to get a drink! This is my favorite place for a drinks and apps date. Their seasonal cocktails are delicious! I tried their boozechata which is a horchata with whiskey. So yummy! Had a great balance of alcohol and horchata. I also love their clam dip! It has a ton of clam/cheesey goodness in it! I always have to asks for extra bread to dip in it. read more

Dined here as traveling through the area. Cool vibe and liked the smaller menu and desire to focus on doing what you can and doing it well. Crab cakes were above average. Cajun Mac N Cheese with shrimp was delicious (waitress recommended). Cajun Surf & Turf Linguini is a great concept and everything was good except the beef tips. Expected something more like steak bites and got what essentially appeared to be thinly shaved beef that was a bit stringy. Good drinks and decent wine menu and the service was above average. Would not shy away from going again when back in the area. read more

Artichoke crab dip great.Crab cake appetizer fantastic. All the "whiskey based cocktails " were amazing. My wife had the butter braised grouper was great, just the right amount of spicy. Staff so accommodating! read more

I was excited to try this but I really didn't love anything I got. I tried the Cajun Mac add chicken and the pasta was not very cheesy nor seasoned that well I didn't even know that it had the seasoning. The chicken was too thick for my liking and I didn't end up eating the entire dish. I also got a side of the red beans and rice which said it had meat in it but mine didn't include any and overall it was pretty bland. The one really good thing I did try was the bread pudding. Phenomenal. Maybe I had a bad day or ordered the wrong things as I've heard good things but for me the only thing I'd come back for is the bread pudding! read more

We're huuuuuge Herbe sainte fans now! We came in one Sunday and the brunch menu didn't look appetizing so we left. This is a smaller restaurant with a few spots, but some very intimate seating. However, we came back on a Wednesday night before a movie and could have died happy that night from our last meal. We also had to sit at the bar because everything else was booked or full. The bartender was working hard (forgot her name), and the food came out quickly. This gumbo is to die for! And I've grown up with some Louisiana gumbo. The artichoke crab dip was probably my favorite dip to date. You can get it gluten free too! The drinks were so unique and delicious! Definitely go during their happy hour and save some $$! We're going back!! read more

I live in the South and know good Cajun food, this is not good, this is excellent. I'll start with the only thing preventing me from scoring it a 10, the delicious gumbo. The gumbo is absolutely one of the best I've ever had, and that includes my favorite, the one I make at home. The one problem, it didn't come out piping hot, just warm. That's it, that is the only thing preventing a perfect 10 from me, a simple oops. We started off by sharing the gumbo and the crab cakes. The crab cakes were very nice and among the most moist I've eaten served with a very tasty remoulade. My wife had the braised short ribs and I had the shrimp and grits. Her short ribs were extremely moist and tender, just delicious. Neither my wife nor I are huge fans of grits, but have then on occasion, and these were very good. Buttery and cheesy, just like we like them. My shrimp were cooked perfectly, I hate it when they are overcooked and rubbery, these were not. Seasoned well and served with the same delicious grits my wife had and the biggest surprise for me. I have always absolutely despised collard greens, they have always been extremely off putting and appetite destroying for me, but I'm open minded and when they come with the dish I want, I will occasionally try again. I'm so glad I did. These collard greens weren't just edible, the were delicious and I would definitely eat them again and often. I will not leave off the service. Our server, Soleil, was phenomenal and as I looked around, I could see how all the other servers were very attentive without being annoying. The entire staff was polite and really seemed to work well together. Great job and thank you for by far the best meal we have had on our trip so far. read more

This is a good breakfast/brunch spot Friday-Sunday are normally busy. The customer service has always been great. My favorite part about this place are the drinks especially the penny mimosas. The inside of the location to me is pretty small so I wouldn't recommend if you have a large party. The food is ok I guess it all depends on what you order. read more

Great small spot to grab a bite of flavorful southern cuisine. Cute cocktails, smaller sized menu to match the restaurant size--probably seats about 50-60 in a large room with very high ceilings.

This review is just about the Old Fashioned and I'm okay with that, it needs the spotlight. Side note: I have been for brunch too and the food is good. Sat at the bar when I walked in on a Tuesday mid-week. Bartenders were nice and appeared to have a good team system to get the well done drinks out timely. The drink was the right mix of refreshing but slight sweetness to minimize any whiskey burn. I'd be back for the drink alone but will probably add food next time. read more

Service was very fast and friendly and the decor is really nice. I brought my boyfriend here who was visiting from out of town. He's from New Orleans so I thought he would enjoy the food. The étouffée was pretty tasty and quite a big helping. The gumbo was an oddly small bowl with more rice than soup. The read beans and rice weren't so good, we didn't eat much of them because the beans tasted firm and undercooked. The artichoke crab dip was great. Most of the menu items weren't really authentic to New Orleans food but I'm glad that most of what we ordered tasted good. I probably won't be back because I live across town and there are other restaurants I will be trying. read more

After a recent trip to NOLA, I decided it was time to try Cajun food, Omaha style. The website lets you make reservations for parties of five or more, so I wasn't able to make a reservation for two. The hostess said I could have just called it in, but we were able to get seated anyway. After sitting there for about ten minutes, we decided to take our chances on the outside seating. It was so very noisy in there that we had to yell to hear each other. Two guys next to us were talking about their work and I could hear them just fine because the space between our tables was so small. Outside was much better. Bookguy was very disappointed in the menu because he was expecting more seafood options. It was heavy on the shrimp but only one crawfish and two crab entrees. He decided on gumbo(no seafood options) and a roast beef po'boy. I had two sides--red beans and rice for one and gumbo for the other. I also had a Pim's cup from the bar. Both of us really liked the gumbo which was just-right spicy with a few bits of meat. A bit too salty for me to finish it, but that means lunch tomorrow. Bookguy's sandwich was a standard roast beef, so just ok. I liked the red beans and rice, which were also spiced just right. We shared a piece of king cake bread pudding. It was very good with nuts and crispy bits. A puddle of cream around the edge would have made it perfection, but alas there was no cream to be found. Don't plan on a fast meal, it was a leisurely paced dinner. Wait staff was attentive and the bar is extensive. Try it for date night, but sit outside if you plan to converse. read more

This has quickly become one of our local neighborhood favorites. The quality of food and service is always consistent. We've never had to wait to get a table or can usually snag spots at the bar. The staff is friendly in the environment is super relaxed. While the price point may be a little high, the quality of the food and cocktails always delivers. The chicken jambalaya is probably our favorite dish, the crabcakes are also a stand out. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Have had three return visits over the years to Herbe Sainte. Not as enamored as previously. Went for lunch earlier this week. Nola shrimp appetizer was great, nicely spicy sauce. Gumbo was good. Peppery. The flavors didn't do a great job of hanging together, but still good overall. Crawfish etouffee was a disappointment. Tiny pieces instead of bigger chunks of crawfish, and a dislikable cheesy flavor. Neither Trish nor I could eat more than a bite or two. Service was OK. Main dish came out on top of the appetizer which I generally don't care for, but Trish made a good point about some patrons being on a limited time schedule at lunch. TL;DR: Get the Nola shrimp. Don't get the etouffee. read more
