Nite Hawkes Cafe is a solid local spot for breakfast or lunch. The food is consistently good and comes out fresh. They have a nice variety of options, and everything we've tried has been satisfying. Service has always been friendly and efficient. Nothing over the top, just good, reliable service. Prices are reasonable for the portions you get, especially these days. Overall, it's a dependable place to grab a casual meal. read more

Took my dad here for Father's Day and we had a great experience. Our server was very attentive, food came out pretty fast, and tasted good. This is a place to go to if you want a traditional midwestern breakfast. The pricing is super affordable as well. It's your typical diner setting. We'll be back for sure. read more

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! read more

Food was really good. Service below average and took about 45 minutes for us to get our food.

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. read more

Nite Hawkes Cafe - Pancakes bacon eggs and hash browns. - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Food and service is always exceptional!! I've never had to wait for fresh coffee. My husband loves the cinnamon roll.

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. read more

Great place and great food. I was in the area for about a week and came every morning for breakfast!

Nite Hawkes Cafe was great! Great food, wonderful waitresses, great value, were given alot of food, can't wait to go back read more

Went to eat here for a morning meeting with my work team. The prices were great - the food was good diner breakfast food and our server was amazing and on top of her game. Another place I wish was closer because I would go here more often. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Great family owned diner - a great, inviting space, fast / friendly service that provides freshly made comfort food. Food was served quickly and they have generous portions at reasonable prices. read more

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) read more

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! read more

Absolutely good comfort food. Family ran so service is fine what your expect. Very friendly. Old home atmosphere.

Great food and a very good price. The staff is nice as well. Family of 4 for breakfast was $20!

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! read more

Food was delicious. Service was very quick and provided anything you could ask for. The building looks a little sketchy but the inside has a nice vibe to it. You can tell they've been doing it for a long time. Very solid. read more

Great diner! Just what we were looking for. Friendly service and delicious breakfast items.

Food quality was fantastic. Very affordable, portions were moderate. The waitress was the only other person wearing a mask. Even the cook staff that we could see through the window weren't wearing a mask. Atmosphere of the restaurant was very high school cafeteria. read more

Nite Hawkes is truly an old style diner. Established in 1942 and run by the Hawkes Family. Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. Specials are available each day. Servers were friendly. Prices were reasonable. I tried the pasta and sausage with tomato sauce. Sauce was kind of plain, but sausage was tasty. Good sized portion and the lunch special comes with your choice of soup or salad. I chose the salad. Not an overly large salad bar, but decent choices. Good little place to drop in for lunch if you are working in the vicinity of 16th and Carter Blvd. read more

I had heard about Night Hawks from some of my neighbors in the Minne Lusa area, but had never been. Now I can say I have. I'd say it's comparable to Harold's on north 30th street. The food is good and delightfully greasy spoon fare, affordable, and served quickly. They had on-site parking that was pretty full at a little after 9:00 AM on a Sunday. They have to be doing something right to have been family owned since 1942. read more

This place definitely has that old school small town cafe feel to it - and I love that. The staff took my order right away and I was out the door with breakfast for everyone at work quickly. A few people got french toast with a side of bacon. No complaints here and the side of bacon was very generous. Another chose the scramble which is eggs, sausage, mushrooms and peppers topped with gravy. No complaints again. Everyone enjoyed it and we will definitely be back. read more

Great service, amazing food and it came out super fast! Love it here. Will be back again

Definitely old school café that sends you back in time once you step through the doors! They were established in 1942 and I'm fairly confident the décor hasn't changed much since. Don't go expecting fancy ambiance, or fancy anything. Do go for good food at an affordable price and great service! We both ordered the biscuits and sausage gravy with a side of sausage links. Wow...the biscuits and gravy were fantastic! Arrived piping hot and the gravy was the savory classic white gravy you may have grown up on. Didn't taste like flour, just good and savory with perfect sized chunks of sausage. Perhaps the best I've had in many years. In fact I sampled these at the Taste of Florence this summer, and that is the reason that brought me here!! The sausage links were good as well! We even ordered a cinnamon roll to split and it too was delicious! Oh and a bonus that might interest you...they also have Big Red Keno. I look forward to going back sometime for lunch or a different breakfast dish. Their menu has many options that sound wonderful! No frills-good grub!! read more

Had my first experience with the cafe this morning. I ordered the breakfast burrito. The burrito was amazing and full of ingredients as well as packed full of flavor. I heard good reviews about the gravy so I had to get some on the side to try it out for myself and it is some of the best gravy I've had at any diner I've been to. I'll be ordering the biscuits and gravy next time guaranteed. Quaint and quiet atmosphere. Absolutely delightful place to have spent a Sunday morning. read more

had no idea this place was here! I travel from out of town to Omaha frequently for work and happen to see the restaurant as I was heading out. I ordered the Stacker, biscuits gravy, hash browns, and eggs. Large portions and very flavorful. The waitress was super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Traveling thru Omaha en route to a Husker game and staying in an Airbnb nearby. Found this place by accident and was just so pleasantly surprised.

Friendly, accommodating, pretty good food cooked they way you would at home. We really like it here

The staff and environment friendly.They fix food that sticks to your bones. They provide healthy options.

If you're a Hipster Millennial don't go here. There's nothing ironic or trendy about NiteHawkes. But if you want an extraordinarily good breakfast, and like the atmosphere of an old-school restaurant where the same patrons having been hanging out for decades, this is where you'll want to be. I have never left here disappointed. read more
