A great place to have a nice work lunch or brunch with a friend. I've gotten multiple things here and everything has been good! Service is always good and quick too! This location is definitely smaller than the downtown one so you might need a reservation if you're looking at a busy time! read more

I haven't been to (Jams) in years, and was so sad at having a bad experience when I stopped in last night! I worked at Jams for eight years, and was at this location for four of those years. Unfortunately, from what I have experienced and heard from others, it has definitely gone downhill. Our server did not do a great job, I saw her standing around a bit, so she was not too busy, but we struggled to get anything to our table. We ran out of water and never got anymore, as we didn't have an opportunity to ask. It took us quite a while to be checked on after our food was dropped, so we waited to get extra sauces that we needed. Overall, she did not do a good job at checking on us through our entire visit. The food here is still good. In my opinion, the coconut chicken salad has always been my favorite, but I was disappointed to see that it is much smaller than it used to be (I did order the full). The flavor of the dressing is still the same, and the ingredients are unchanged, but there was a much lesser ratio of toppings to lettuce this time around. The most disappointing part was that I asked for a dinner roll at the end of my visit, as I was still hungry. Our server took back my checkbook so that she could ring this in, and I was charged a dollar for the role. The menu still states that dinner rolls are available upon request, so this was disappointing. The salad should've been $20 for a full salad, as shrimp is the same price as the coconut chicken I substituted at four. I was charged $24 for the salad. Slight mistake mistakes like this are not the end of the world, but really do show the downhill direction. This restaurant has gone, unfortunately. I will stop in again, but only because I have a gift card to use up. Otherwise, I will check out the downtown location and hopefully have better luck there! read more

My sister was in town and wanted to celebrate her birthday here with a small group of family members. She made reservations and we got an 8 top right in the center of the restaurant. The music was soooo loud, it was hard to converse or maybe the speaker was right over our table. They played a lot of disco and 80s which I didn't mind. We got a selection of appetizers for the table to share. The onion rings were good but the bleu crab Rangoon egg rolls tasted a bit off (I've had them before at the Old Market location and they were excellent there). I ordered the Jams fish tacos with the beer-battered mahi and they were good but not fantastic. I got the vibe that everyone felt that way about their meals. The red chili rice tasted bland and the chipotle black beans had a smokey flavor but were not my favorite. Our server did check on us often and kept the drinks and water coming. It was a nice outing but I wouldn't rush to return here again. read more

The food definitely does not disappoint. The scampi is to die for. I got the carnitas enchilada and my husband got the fish and chips and both were fantastic. Our server was great as well. read more

Jams Midtown - Carnitas Enchilada! Bomb! Don't sleep on the scampi either. It's $17 but so worth it. - Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I dine at Jams a lot! Someone in the kitchen got out of hand with the dressing. My lettuce and everything else was drenched. I realize I failed to tell them I wanted the dressing on the side, but I think that should be a standard question that the wait staff asks. And please stop spraying your cleaner on the table. The smell in the offspring is more than a Diner wants to deal with, sitting at the next table. read more

Jams Legacy Short Rib Tacos - I thought these tacos were super good. I'd probably give it an 8/10. I also love cabbage, and there is a lot on the tacos. It comes with a side of smoked gouda white cheddar mac and cheese, and it was fire. 9.5/10 Coconut chicken half salad- my mom and aunt got this & I know they liked it. It's a little hard to mix in the bowl given, but it's a good salad! My mom said this is one of her favorites, and she gets it every time she goes to Jams! read more

The wait staff was great. I was greeted and seated right away. I was actually going to see a friend who was performing and it's the first time I've ever been there so I was excited to get to eat. They had a lot of things that I thought I'd like to try, however I'm not sure how often I'll go I do feel like the menu items are a little expensive. The food was delicious. read more

Was very excited to visit as I LOVED my experience at the Harney St. location, however the service was not what I remembered. The food was still very good, so trust that you will get a nice meal. But throughout the hour we were there our waters weren't refilled a single time, and at the bottom of the menu it stated that bread for the table was available upon request with no mention of the $4 charge for it. Wouldn't have been frustrated by the charge if there was any mention of it before getting the bill. read more

Jams is my go to spot for appetizers and a quick cocktail. This location is a bit smaller than its other stores, but it's a very open concept. The staff is so friendly and they are quick to offer suggestions. We tried the chicken nachos which were amazing. They are loaded with lots of toppings and the most delicious cilantro crema. The portions are average sized. We also go the ginger curry potstickers which we loved so much, we got a second order. For drinks, I got a blood orange margaraita which was great, but the best cocktail award goes to the pear and pomegranate martini was *chef's kiss* Great spot for happy hour and speedy service! read more

The food is always good. See below. Watch out for the drink menu. I ordered a decent bourbon (2oz @ $12) - waiter came back and said they didn't have it. Went to the next one (2oz @ $14) - waiter came back with the same message. I went to look at the bar and found one in the same category that wasn't on the menu. Ordered that one. Ice on the side. Bill came - $22 + $3 for no ice. Completely wonky pricing based on everything they had listed. (The upcharge is common when they give you a larger pour, which they did not do). Irritating end to the dining experience. Short rib grilled cheese is always amazing. Parm chicken sandwich was surprisingly good. All of their salads are great. I'll update this when I go back and the menus and pricing are updated. read more

Options | portions | Chicken Sandwich Options - there menu is pretty comprehensive. They have daily chef specials which rotate often, so be sure to check out that menu every day. Their standard menu has a comprehensive selection which a good amount of flavor and complex combinations. So before you change the meal, be sure to check with the chef to make sure you aren't messing up your pallet. Portions - their portions are pretty substantial given the price point. Their appetizer order of fries for example is a health bowl that easily satisfies a table of 4 and sufficiently satisfied a table of 6. The chicken sandwich was pretty large. The chicken is about 10-18% larger than the bun it comes with. The side of vegetables is pretty sizable as well. Chicken sandwich - I had the chicken sandwich minus cheese and bacon. It was great. The flavoring is savory and sweet and overall a unique taste when compared to the normal/standard chicken sandwich. I highly recommend and would definitely get it again. Pro tip: this restaurant is associated with the JAMS in old market. However, this restaurant is significantly smaller. So if you go during peak hours be sure to get a reservation. Pro tip: there is more than sufficient parking. They are located in a strip mall, therefore it's a massive parking lot. read more

I had such an amazing meal at Jams last week. We ordered the crab rangoon egg rolls and they were HEAVENLY. They came with this delicious peanut sauce that I could have drank like water. They had a bit of a kick but I like spicy. We will definitely be ordering those again. I ordered a red sangria and it was just OK. Nothing fancy. I didn't taste any booze in it, it was filled with more ice than sangria and it was pretty pricey at $10. Hard pass on that one. The coconut chicken salad came highly recommended and that's what I ordered. It was absolutely perfect. One of the best salads Ive ever had and I can see why it was a best seller at Jams. It was out of this world! Slightly sweet sauce over the crispy chicken breast. Creamy avocados and hearty artichokes. Lightly dressed lettuce. Seriously. Perfect. Our waitress Madeline was so sweet and attentive. She immediately fixed a slight change on my order before I even saw it and checked on us regularly. Amazing experience from start to finish. I've been dreaming about that salad so I know I'll be back soon! read more

My first at this location was great! We we're sat in the party room, so we missed a little of the hustle and bustle of the main room but had great service. I didn't catch out servers name, but he made excellent drink recommendations, including being very candid about certain wines that we should avoid. We were thrilled with our wine choice. We had already snacked a bit before we arrived so we split an appetizer, the cashew chicken strips. They were a little too heavily breaded but had great flavor. Over all good experience and good service for a Saturday night. read more

Overall a pretty similar experience to the other location out west that I've been to. Decent food, but nothing that stood out as exceptional or remarkably tasty. I did dine with an a group of six people and service was slower than I expected. My food came out substantially later than the rest of the group. It's a busy lunchtime location so some delay is understandable, but it did result in a poorer experience for me. Jams has quite a diverse menu--salads, Mexican food, pub classics, Italian dishes, sandwiches, etc. This tends to worry me as a diner because it's really hard for a chef or a kitchen team to do all of these things really well. And my suspicion turned out correct: the execution of most dishes ordered in our group was fine but not great. I ordered a field salad. I asked the server how big it was and she said the large one is enormous and the smaller one is a pretty decent size. So I ordered the half size based on what the server recommended. It was pretty much a side salad size, and I was still hungry after finishing. Just FYI if you order a salad, order the full size. read more

Happy Hour was a great call! We ordered the waffle fries and mac n cheese - The mac was on the lighter side so I actually threw it on top of the waffle fries! It helped every single bite of the waffle fries to be full. We were stuffed with 2-3 appetizers, got a great deal and it was a good visit! We'll definitely be back! Service was good. read more

Would not split a salad into two bowls for us at lunch. Manager explained that corporate management changed their policy from splitting entrees to no longer splitting them because they get too busy to handle such requests on Friday & Saturday nights (it was Tuesday lunch hour). I would have handled it differently, saying "we will do it this time but going forward we won't be splitting entrees". Still a great salad after coming here for 25 years! read more

MEMORY FAILINGS. We had something I don't remember. And then for desert another something I don't remember. But what I do remember is both were "Oh, wow!" good. The place was packed,, but the staff ran like a Rolex, purposeful and consistent, didn't miss a beat, as they say. Wait...I remember. The main dish was a chicken burrito. I'm not fond of chicken Mexican food, but this was great! Oh, and the desert was raspberry bread pudding. It was like a Barry White instrumental piece punctuated by a tart, off-beat jazz riff. It was an excellent evening. read more

The best salads in town are served here. I was told they make an excellent Negroni but I don't partake in libations. The bartender made me a virgin drink that was supposed to taste similar to a Negroni and it was so good I almost slapped the table. This is my favorite restaurant in town. read more

I'm crushing hard on Jams. I initially became interested when I would go for the occasional work lunch which then led to casual dinners. What really pushed my obsession to the edge was when I discovered Thursday's happy hour went through the evening while the live music played. I went with friends, with my husband, with different friends - basically whomever I could wrangle up. All of that was pre-COVID of course. But I've re-discovered it over the past few months when we started feeling more comfortable going out. I've never had anything off the menu that I didn't love. My particular favorites are the Lobster Tacos, the Crab Cake Salad and the Bucatini with Meatballs. Although honestly, I mostly crave the appetizers. There is such a variety and they are all delicious. You name it, I love it. Hoisin-Coconut Chicken Tenders, Crispy Ravioli, Meatballs, Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls and Baked Scampi are our usual suspects. Our last few trips have been ordering 3-4 of these and noshing with a bottle of wine. My biggest love at a restaurant is a slightly dirty martini with blue cheese olives. I hate asking for it because some bartenders roll their eyes but at Jams, it's already on the menu - the Dodge Street Martini. If you can swing a happy hour, they have a great one. Some of those apps are up to $5 off, discounted drinks and 1/2 price bottles of wine. Monday - Friday from 3pm-6pm. I wish they had a patio, but oh well, it would probably be full all the time anyway. I like that you can make it a casual night or a classier night depending on your mood. There are high tops, low tops, banquet seating and the good old fashioned belly up to the bar seating. Servers have always been great and show some personality. It's a little on the pricier side but I think it's worth it for the quality and quantity of food and the overall experience. It's probably a good thing COVID slowed down my visits because I may have easily worked my way up to dining there every night. read more

I went to get my order. They had 12 lids all open , and half of the orders in , and all over the bar. The staff just looked at me. I asked if any of those were mine.

When we were sat down, what are you ordered chicken lettuce wrap. The wraps were OK. Also I ordered jalapeño and lobster bisque soup . It tasted more like a tomato bisque with bits of lobster. My husband ordered the fish and that was delicious. I ordered a salad with chicken. My daughter ordered mac & cheese with the chicken and my son had a chicken sandwich. The meals were delicious the waiter was great. The service was great, and the environment was quiet but nice. We will definitely be back when we come by this way. read more

Went there looking for something that was on the online menu only to find that they no longer make this. Ordered the fish sandwich, was awful and the fries were over cooked and cold. My husband ordered the fish and chips which were ok, as long as you ate them really hot, once it began to cool it was terrible. Forget the "coleslaw". It had NO FLAVOR! Wet cabbage, gee, yum. Will not eat there again. Wasted over $50 on a really bad lunch. Waitress was nice and efficient. read more

No photos, apologies! I've gone here with friends a couple of times, Happy Hour till 6pm. I haven't ordered "real food" yet because the shareable appetizers are so good! OK to great service. It's a little loud sometimes, turning down the music might lower the overall volume. One thing, don't expect a Fireball shot after a rough day at work, they don't stock it... too bad. Enjoy! read more

I've been twice and tried different things and have been pleased: first time I tried the Carnitas Enchilada and the second time I tried Jam's Burger. I've enjoyed both things and those that I was with also liked everything they had each time so seems like they have a good variety of great things at a decent price. It can get busy during the week during the lunch rush so be cognizant of that. If you plan ahead, you can reserve a table on the Yelp app. read more

Came here with a large group of about 12 people after an event. Our server was friendly and very accommodating of our large group. We ordered crab rangoon and ravioli for the table. One of my colleagues exclaimed it was the best crab rangoon she's ever had - as a crab rangoon enthusiast who has tried a LOT of crab rangoon, I can't say I shared the sentiment to that extent. In my opinion, it was a little bit bland, but the quality of the ingredients really stood out. I ordered the short rib grilled cheese for my entree. I enjoyed it a lot. Again, I didn't think it was quite as flavorful as it maybe could have been, but everything tasted fresh and high quality. It was served on a pretty regular sandwich bread - quite tasty & grilled perfectly, but, unsurprisingly, a bit messy. There was a lot liquid from the tomatoes, peppers & sauce on the sandwich, luckily the bread was able to hold its own & didn't crumble. However, there was nothing to prevent the insides from just falling out from between the slices. Alas, comes with the territory for sandwiches. The serving of fries looked skimpy at first, but after eating the sandwich I was so full I could barely eat any of them - would've been a waste if they'd given me more! read more

This is a great place to go for dinner and some drinks. The Staff was friendly and helpful and the food was pretty good! My only complaint would be that, tho the food was good, it is just so rich and decadent, I genuinely took a few bites and was pretty full. (In a good way) And my sister ordered the Crabcake salad and it was actually pretty salty, I tasted it myself. But everything else we had I was happy with! So just keep that in mind when ordering, the portions are big and rich so, this is your PSA to wear stretchy pants! P.S. if you're wondering the creme brûlée didn't disappoint either. read more

What happened?! Drinks were wrong, entrees were wrong, service was slow... this is not the same Jams we've been going to for the past 12 years. I always get the same thing, the coconut chicken salad. During the height of COVID I even got it to take home. Last night was terrible. The chicken was like jerky, the salad was wilted. My husband also ordered the same but got crab cake salad and an apology if he didn't like it. He didn't, but it was too late... Three of us had already dug in and he didn't want to wait. Came home and had to drink a gallon of water to quench the salt shakes from the crab cakes. Drinks were just as disappointing. Had to wait 15 minutes for drinks after ordering and they were wrong. The place was only half full too. Ordered a martini on the rocks in a rocks glass, got a martini glass, no ice. Sent it back only to get the same martini glass, only this time full of ice with a sip of gin...$18. Was this an off night or a just a stop on the road to another mediocre restaurant? read more

First began by a friend of ours, the restaurant continues to feature excellent salads. The place is a bar with few windows though located centrally. The service was excellent though it can be very busy. I prefer to take out and enjoy the food at home. read more

Excellent food, reasonable pricing. Guacamole was very tasty and excellent value at happy hour price. My mother has asian chicken salad which she was very happy with. My dad had the fish and chips which were great. I had the braised short rib grilled cheese which was very good as well. The highlight for me was the burrata appetizer, just nice and light and drizzled with balsamic vinegar and pesto. Great service as well. read more

The short rib tacos are not like ur classic tacos. They are quite interesting but in a good way. Very great choice of amounts given. The salsa wasn't my favorite but it works with the dish. The crema is a nice adjustment as it gives it a fresh taste. The complementary dish of Mac and cheese is really good but I think there is a need for more spicy. The crumbs on the top are a nice touch to add another level of texture. read more

Food is meh. Kind of a local version of a bad cheese cake factory. Don't expect to a good drink - asked for a drink off the menu and they didn't have the ingredients (Jams Boulevardier). Asked for a simple old fashion instead got a gross drink of ice and well whiskey. It was all whiskey and I wasn't looking to get toasted on a Wednesday night. Service is kind of slow overall.
