Dining area

After getting dropped by Lyft on our way to the airport, we found this classic diner only minutes from OMA. Inside we found plenty of seating (booths and tables), and quickly found a spot to sit AND easily stow our luggage. We were greeted quickly, and enjoyed classic and hearty food options. We'll tell our family! Great spot!

The stacker

Went for breakfast for the first time today. The place was busy, but the staff was working hard to keep all their guests happy. Coffee was good and food came out in a timely manner for the rush they were having. The star of the show was the scrambler, well seasoned and oh so tasty. The cinnamon roll was so soft and delicious too. (Sorry the photos were an after thought because everything came out looking so good). Well priced and an overall relaxed atmosphere. Will go back again.

Pancakes bacon eggs and hash browns.

Fast friendly service. Pretty decent food and prices. Stopped in for a morning breakfast and I will be going back.

Ham, eggs, and potatoes
Terry O.

Bookguy saw a Tik Tok review of Nite Hawkes that piqued his interest so we ended up there and were very happy we did! The waitress was upbeat and friendly. The space was fresh and clean, although we did have to request our table be wiped down. The music playing in the background was just right and not overwhelming. Bookguy ordered ham with over easy eggs, potatoes, and pancakes. He thought it was a really good breakfast. I liked his potatoes a lot! I ordered a veggie omelette that was loaded with mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes and onions topped with shredded cheese. It was a nice size and cooked completely through. Both of us had cinnamon rolls after hearing the reviewer go crazy over them. We thought they were tasty, but not exceptional. I did appreciate that the icing was understated. It must be a popular neighborhood spot because there's a second room at least as big as the first, although it wasn't being used when we were there. We liked it enough to come here again.

French toast and bacon

Wow! What a nice find. This is your basic, old fashion diner, serving breakfast and lunch favorites. Easy access and parking, along with a large restaurant, allows for minimal wait time. We were pleasantly greeted and immediately seated. The no-frills menu offered a nice variety of choices at exceptionally affordable prices. I'd highly recommend this well kept secret just north of downtown for anyone that likes a hearty meal. Their biscuits and gravy sauce was just outstanding although not necessarily low in calories! Given that, the menu is limited in that it does not offer a wide variety of low cal or healthy choice options, but it will definitely give you the comfort food of home!

The Scrambler  Ask for your side to be a biscuit and then ask that they put it underneath the rest of the items.

Why this was not the #1 breakfast location when I searched Omaha is beyond me! If I could give it 10 stars, I would do so without hesitation! This is a cozy little restaurant off the beaten path. Another Yelper called it a hidden gem and rightly so. I love a good breakfast establishment, and when I was scrolling through the options, the menu stood out for their "local favorites" The Stacker and The Scrambler. (I also love steak and eggs, and that was another option along with a nice variety of sweet selections. ) I wanted to try both, but I ended up ordering The Scrambler which comes with a side, and the waitress suggested that I get the biscuit that comes with The Stacker and have it be the foundation for my dish. I did that and ended up with what I called The Scracker and let me tell you it was an exceptional breakfast! Full of flavor, and the combination of all of the ingredients made a satisfying dish. I also decided to try a pancake with the plate, and it was fluffy and flavorful as well. Next time I am in Omaha for breakfast, there is no doubt where I'll be eating again! Cozy room, wonderful staff, great service, and outstanding food! Five stars just doesn't seem enough.

Breakfast Burrito

Breakfast here was great!! All the staples and super speedy service made for a great experience all around. The dining area was very pleasant and boasted all the charm you'd dream up in imagining a small town diner. Staff were very helpful and friendly which is always the cherry on top of a good meal on the road. Highlights were the Breakfast Burrito, Ham and Eggs with Fresh Hash Browns, and the Silver Dollar Cakes. Added bonus: marble rye bread is always a game changer(highly recommend) and the coffee was notably, deliciously balanced to where my daughter drank it black!(She's very picky about her coffee so this was a huge win)

Scrambler
Jeni K.

I can't say enough good things, except I wish I would have tried this place out sooner. It's a cute little spot with very friendly staff, the service was quick and welcoming. The food is so well priced and absolutely fantastic. We paid barely $23 for 2 huge meals and coffees. Can't beat that anywhere! My husband got the stacker, with biscuits and gravy, eggs - so good. I got the scrambler with hash browns and eggs, with veggies and pancakes. Perfect portions with enough to take home and have later. Can't wait to come back for lunch!

French toast special included bacon, I added over easy eggs. So delicious!
Kelly C.

This place is truly a hidden gem in Omaha. This is the perfect place to have some home cooked comfort food and the breakfast was an excellent start to the day. It was so affordable too, I couldn't believe it when I got the bill! Don't walk, RUN to Nite Hawkes Cafe!

Amazing Omaha Gem: Memoir is a Must-Visit!…read more This was my second visit to Memoir, and I'm simply blown away. This spot is a 10/10--glorious, delicious, and an absolute vibe. The food is incredible, the space is stylish, and the service is top-notch. I brought my mother, partner, and our 8-month-old, and we all had the best time. Appetizer Highlights (Run, Don't Walk!): We started with three appetizers, and all were phenomenal: Potato Pouffs: Seriously one of my favorite appetizers ever. They are creamy and potatoey inside, served with an incredible aioli. Whipped Ricotta: Served atop the lightest, most flavorful focaccia I've ever tasted. Brussels Sprouts: They absolutely rule. Entrees & Drinks: I enjoyed the Herbal Tree drink (light, refreshing, and comes with unlimited refills--bonus!). For the main course, I had the Salmon over Sweet Corn Risotto. It tasted exactly like summer, even on a chilly fall day; I'd 100% get this again. My mother, who had never ordered steak and eggs before, took a gamble on their version and was thrilled. It's possibly the most affordable and elevated version I've seen, featuring a beautifully cooked steak with chimichurri and a super elevated potato cake (the hashbrown). Verdict: We are so lucky to have Memoir in Omaha. Go make memories ASAP!

Tito's and lemonade was my go to every day after all day in the stadium. The front door security are the best they remembered us everyday! Made us feel welcomed! We loved the Aloha!!

I visited here after first attempting to eat at a nearby Chinese restaurant but my picky colleague…read moredoesn't like authentic chinese, so we ended up here. He had actually visited before during a game and said he had a great time with good food. We sat at the bar to ensure excellent service. This is mainly a sports bar with bar fare but they do have a couple of elevated menu items like the steak frites. I decided to just eat light and chose the sockeye salmon salad. My colleague had a guiness and went with the fish and chips. Salmon salad - this comes with avocado, one of the reasons I even ordered it, but when it was brought out from the kitchen, I looked for the avocado and couldn't find any. I brought this to the attention of the bartender and she claims that since they shake the dressing on the salad, maybe the avocado just broke into small pieces. I said no, I still didn't even see any small pieces either. She just brings me out a side of avocado at this point. I then asked about the dessert menu and she brings the menu. I told her I may order one, but let me eat my meal first because I may be too full. Apparently, she misunderstood me and proceeds to enter the desert into the pos system. Then I couldn't even get my drink refilled ....she refilled my colleagues beer, but failed to ask if I wanted a refill. This is the one problem with ordering a non alcoholic drink at a bartop...they sometimes don't provide the best of service to you. I finally got my refill and requested they finally put my dessert order in. The dessert turned out to be ok, but I could only eat half and then we paid and left. Overall, this was an okay experience for me....but I certainly wouldn't rush to come back anytime soon.

Price was very fair for the quality and quantity of food I ordered. I went with the fish and chicken combo with a side of sweet potato pudding. While the proteins were the highlight of the meal, don't sleep on the sweet potato pudding. This little side was the perfect compliment to my meal: Sweet and savory in each bite!

Felt kind of weird to order since I was there for dinner, but my friend recommended it. To my surprise, it didn't actually taste overly "breakfast-y." It was a pretty decent burger, nice and juicy, flavorful, and I loved the sauce. The bun was toasted golden brown and didn't fall apart or get soggy. It wasn't the most impressive burger I've ever had, but it did the trick. It came with fries which were also just pretty decent. Crispy. Nothing special. Can't really speak to service since I was there with an employee so everyone knew us. We ate at the bar and the bartender made me a drink that tasted like apple cider, you could barely taste the alcohol! Vibe-wise, it's definitely a sports bar and definitely geared towards all the Creighton students who live in the Atlas above, which is... not my personal vibe. But it's very clean, spacious, and well-lit, which improved the experience a lot.

Considering the airplane on the building, we were hoping for more airplane decor but it wasn't a deal breaker. Parking was adequate which is a deal breaker for me if there is not ample parking. I would go back.
