    Open faced seared tuna sandwich
    Heidi G.

    The Lobster Bisque was the star of the show! I also highly recommend the brussel sprouts. The opened faced tuna sandwich was pretty good. The fish tacos were dry. The service was amazing. Definitely take advantage of their wine pairings. The restaurant had a very New England feel. Very clean too. Overall, a little pricier, but it's definitely worth it if you stick to their classics.

    Lobster Bisque

    My family whole family (6 adults and 4 kids) went to Sand Point for dinner before our Good Friday Church service and had a phenomenal experience! From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by friendly staff. Our waitress was very friendly and delightfully kind and patient with the kiddos! Great service from start to finish! The ambiance was super fun, feeling like an upscale New England waterside tavern. Loved the nautical themes and decor! The drink and food menu was great! Several of us got local beers and wines. Drink local! The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Everyone loved each dish they got, but I am partial to what I got: the Haddock fish sandwich with Lobster Bisque as a $3 upcharge side. I was debating between this meal and one of the fancier entrees, but this was such a great deal because I got fish on the sandwich AND their phenomenal soup for less than the fancier entrees. A great deal! The lobster bisque was DIVINE. Everything was so so good, but the Lobster Bisque was the star of the show. It came with a shot of sherry on the side to pour over top before eating to really bring out the rich flavors. I could have had the bisque as my entire meal and been happy. It was incredible. The haddock sandwich was bursting with flavor and was lighter/fresher since it was made with cornmeal instead of flour fried. Yummy! I would definitely get this again! My spouse also did the soup/sandwich pair with the Reuben and clam chowder. He loved both, but we would recommend getting fish since that's their speciality. All the adults loved their food and the kids ate their entire meals with glee. Delicious, filling, and kid friendly! Prices were reasonable, the space was clean, plentiful parking, and reservations always welcome. If you haven't been to Sand Point, try it out today! You will not be disappointed!

    There are not many fresh raw seafood restaurants in Omaha and when I saw they had a promotion, I knew I had to try it. I came to try their Thursdays $1 oysters and they're very fresh. Most of the oysters served are from the east coast and the head chef came out to show and explain us about the oysters that were about to have. Great experience and atmosphere and I'll definitely come and try some of their other food on the menu too

    Alfredo Capellini with shrimp

    Had reservations last night (Saturday) at 6:30. We were seated right away, noticed it wasn't very busy. Service was a bit slow to start but we were with another couple so we were busy visiting. Got better from there, place started filling up, and our server was very helpful in recommending apps and dinner. Food came out quickly and everyone loved their food. Two of us had the Connecticut lobster roll (warm) and it had plenty of sweet lobster in the roll. Hubby had the Alfredo Capellini with shrimp and he raved about it. SIL had the open faced seared tuna and absolutely loved it. I also had the lobster bisque with the optional shot of sherry....soooo good! They also bring out their house cornbread and butter beforehand which is a bit thin and dense but still good. This was our third visit and will not be our last, hard to find anyone that makes a better lobster roll.

    Sand Point was awesome! When entering, the restaurant was pretty quiet overall. There was lots of seating available and it was easy to make reservations. The service was great, our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I really enjoyed the Lobster Roll and French fries as a side, all tasted so fresh for being in the middle of the country! We also had the oysters and they were fantastic as well. Will definitely be back!

    Gluten free open faced mahi mahi sandwhich and flash fried Brussel sprouts.
    Abby F.

    Gluten sensitive girlie here! The service was great, the food was pretty good, but the prices seemed a little steep for the serving sizes. I got the open faces mahi mahi sandwhich that was on special. They made it gluten free for me with a bun instead of the regular bun. It was tasty, but very little fish. The aide was flash fried Brussel sprouts. They were the start of the meal for sure! We started the meal with a cup of lobster bisque and clam chowder. They came out cold, but the staff was great and got us new pipping hot bowls quickly. They were both really good! The soup was on special, so price was fair, but $60 for a lunch for two with water and soda seemed like a bit much. Overall good experience, but not sure that it worth it for the price.

    Tuna
    Kristin G.

    The delicious food *almost* made up for the poor service. (Patrons should never have to wait so long for their drinks or to get their appetizer plates and menus removed. Basic.) Nice ambience. Tuna with sweet potato and citrus was . Bathroom also needs a refresh and redesign if this restaurant is going to live up to its ambition.

    Fish & chips entree

    Recently my wife & I were in Omaha overnight as part of a road trip. Online, we came across Sand Point, located about 5 minutes from our hotel. We opted for an early (4:45) dinner and were probably the evening's first patrons. What a welcome! We were seated in a beautiful booth. Our server was very attentive, and over the course of the dinner she took the time to have several short conversations with us about the Omaha area and other things. At one point, the owner even came over to see how we were doing, and we talked a little about how she came to open a New England seafood restaurant in the heart of the Midwest - again, a very welcome exchange for two visitors to the area. And we can't forget to mention the food. We only ordered entrees: my wife had the salmon, I had the fish & chips (see photo) -- both just excellent. Entrees were hot, flavorful, ample portions. We really hit a home run with Sand Point. It was obvious why this is rated the best seafood in Omaha.

    Swordfish's

    We enjoyed Sand Point with a group of friends on a Friday night. We ordered the brussels sprouts which were amazing and I had the swordfish. So good and a lovely plate. My husband had the warm lobster roll and said it was so delicious. Everyone in our party really enjoyed the food and cocktails, especially the chocolate martini. It was a quiet night overall in the restaurant with not many diners, which surprised us as the food was so good. They served us seamlessly the whole night. It's our third time there and we'll continue to go back.

    We visited Sand Point on a Wednesday night in early evening (after work). They are still quite a newly opened establishment, but are right by our house so we broke our rule of not popping in for a few months after a place opens. Sand Point had started as a food truck called Three Kids Lobster, that ran out of the Trucks and Taps food truck depot. We had always been intrigued by the food truck, but never had a chance to stop in when we had been at Trucks and Taps. So we were super excited they were opening a brick and mortar right down the street. The ambiance was very laid back with a lot of black, white, and grey decor touches, and then orange was what they chose for a pop of color throughout, and it works great. The service was excellent, and our server was very honest about what they liked and didn't love so much, making sure we were happy with what we ordered. We started with the beef tips with truffled corn sauce. It came out on a black plate looking so fancy. The steak tip bites were on the smaller side, but were so juicy and tasty, especially with the sauce they were paired with. I also ordered a cup of the Lobster Bisque, which came with a side of sherry that you can pour in or leave out. The soup itself was SUPER good and reminded me of J Gilbert's Maryland Crab Bisque. Very creamy with a touch of tang in the saltiness. I first had the bisque without the sherry added in, to have the pure experience, but then added the sherry to compare. It was still "fine" with the sherry, but it did add quite a bit of alcohol flavor, which I'm not a fan of. So if I ordered it again next time, I would not add the accompanying sherry (maybe just sip it by itself outside of my delicious bisque LOL) For my entree (though we shared both entrees), I ordered the Glazed Salmon, which was a salmon filet with a rosemary maple glaze. It was a HUGE cut of salmon, which is normally a good thing, but the large nature of the filet made it so that the sauce didn't get to the middle/bottom and only sat on top - so the rest of the non-sauced areas were a tad dry. My salmon came with a side of roasted rainbow carrots, and was served on a bed of rice pilaf. The pilaf was a little sweet, maybe because the maple glaze of the salmon kind of seeped down into it. The rainbow carrots were stubby little chunks, and were good, but nothing to write home about. My husband had the Lobster Risotto. When it came out, the size of it looked a little on the small side, but it had a LOT of of lobster chunks in it so I think that is where the cost comes in, not because of the portion size. Taste-wise, it was great, and definitely lived up to the promise of being heavy on the lobster. For dessert, our server recommended, a Fluffernutter, which wasn't on the normal menu. It was toasted, super-soft bread with warm peanut butter and marshmallow spread in the middle. It was really tasty and deceptively simple. Overall, I think they have a few very small kinks to work out on the menu, but the service, location, and quality were definitely there! We will for sure be back to try the Lobster Roll and the other desserts!

    Lobster mac & cheese, and Aji tuna sandwich. It was actually supposed to be a crabcake sandwich though.
    Kristy H.

    Was so looking forward to trying Sand Point as I love lobster rolls. Unfortunately, was disappointed overall, because of a few misses, but I understand they've been open less than two weeks, so will definitely try again in the future. I got an espresso martini to drink, overall wasn't my favorite, a little too strong, but did foam up nicely. I ordered the Connecticut style lobster, roll, and lobster bisque. The lobster bisque had good flavor overall and did come with a shot of Sherry to add if you so chose. My lobster roll sadly came out cold, not a Maine style on accident, was more of a was warm, and had been sitting there a while. The lobster was unfortunately very dry as well. My husband ordered the crabcake sandwich and lobster mac & cheese. He was actually served the Ahi tuna sandwich instead, however, he really enjoyed it. The lobster mac & cheese did lack flavor overall, but was really creamy. Our server was very attentive, and there was a lot of friendly waitstaff. Again, I understand it's a new restaurant, so will for sure come back after it's been a while. Excited to have this as an option in Omaha .

    Haddock sandwich
    Chad W.

    Went here for lunch today. Our service was spot on and friendly. Absolutely loved my lobster bisque. Nice and creamy with lots of flavor. I ordered the crab cakes as well. I wish they had more crab in them and less bread filling. Nobody in Omaha makes a real proper crab cake I feel. But it was still good though. The haddock sandwich was pretty damn good. Will be revisiting this place for dinner and then re review. Will be back for sure. Nice place to have close to home

    Is the lobster roll served hot or cold?

    You have a choice of cold Maine roll or a warm Connecticut roll. The warm Connecticut roll is the way to go.

    The unique establishment. Definitely a hidden gem in the city of Omaha. Stake was phenomenal!…read moreService was spot on. I must visit if your long fot a place that off the radar amd delicious.

    The Drover, a review:…read more When you pull into the parking lot the outside of the place appears very unassuming. Once you walk-in, the modest decor gets even more humbling. It's a very old school, western, and rustic type of vibe. There's a sense of rugged individualism, resilience, and Western identity. Cowboys are a big part of the theme here, hence the brand name, The Drover. Various murals of impersonations of these vaqueros plaster the walls. The lounge area gives off old mafia movie feels, as you can picture how it could be filled with clouds of cigar smoke as mafioso Capos & soldiers belly-up to the dark bar sipping on their Scotch. Once the drinks start flowing and you get relaxed then the magic starts! You won't be disappointed in the Old Fashioned, or any other type of cocktail for that matter. The fresh baked bread comes out first with a significant portion of spread butter, which is absolutely delicious! Then you realize, that this place actually still has an old school salad bar. Like as soon as I seen the salad bar with all the fixings and the homemade Thousand Island dressing, I was hooked! Finding an open buffet style salad bar these days is as rare as finding a good woman who cooks and cleans. They're like unicorns. The Drover has several cuts of meat to select from. You honestly can't go wrong with the cut that you choose. They have seafood selections as well, just in case you want to get your Surf 'N Turf on. There's one thing that you can definitely say about this place, and that's the fact that it's a no-frills type of joint. They don't waste any time with any fluff. It's strictly meat & potatoes...literally. You won't find any bartenders here doing stupid bottle tricks and begging for clicks like they do out in Vegas. Instead you'll find Tony, who just keeps the glasses full with the concoctions that you wish to imbibe on. One of the female bartenders would fit right in at home in NYC as she drops an F-bomb or two. But, I'm no Karen, so I welcome the realness. She stated, "it's so fucking hot in here", as the bar fills up and the workers get slammed! Now onto the main course: I went with the 8oz Filet and the loaded baked potato. It was delicious! Simple, tasty, and loaded with flavor. They're famous for their secret "whiskey marinade" recipe. The baked potato comes out still wrapped in its foil, which will bring back memories of when your dad would cook them on an open flame charcoal grill. Did I mention the butter? I think I ate enough butter to kill a baby cow! And, I still couldn't get enough. Overall, this place is the epitome of Midwest Steakhouses. It gets right to the point and its customers will appreciate that! One guest told the bartender that he's not from Omaha, but every time he comes into town he comes directly to The Drover to eat dinner. He stated, "I've been coming here for 28 years". Later adding, "except for the years it was burnt down". Another female bartender quickly corrected him, "it was only shutdown for 9 months". Well, when your favorite restaurant is closed for any amount of time, "it felt like years", I added, as we all got a good laugh. As one old timer who came to sit at the bar said, "this is our favorite place". Well...old cowboy, I can see why. And, just like any Old Western movie, The Drover packs a serious punch. Pro tip: they open for dinner at 5:00pm, so get here early, unless you have Reservations of course. I got there at 4:55pm, no reservation, sat at the open bar, which is first come first serve and by 5:40 the place was packed! And, this was on a Wednesday.

    Everett's is a solid ten! At least that's what I would give them if I could. We had heard about…read morethem and were very excited to try. I'm sure everything on the menu is good, but we came here for wings and boy did they deliver. The house brined wings are Fantastic. We did the extra hot bubba, which is their extra hot sauce fried then grilled In garlic Parmesan, which was so juicy and flavorful and kicked the heat to a perfect amount where it was flavorful but not overbearing. We also did the cactus ranch, which is the medium hot sauce tossed with cactus ranch seasoning, also tried it grilled. Another solid selection that provided a nice amount of heat and flavor. Both were so amazing I can't even say which one I liked more or which one was hotter. The wings are huge, juicy, and came out well-sauced. I filled up after five of mine (my husband tackled them all) and took the rest home. I don't know how to say best wings in Omaha, since I don't live there and haven't tried enough places, but these were some of the best wings we have EVER had, period. And we get wings almost everywhere we go. Also---the hand-cut (you heard me) fries aren't to be passed up on. We tried with the garlic aoili, so good, and a huge basket for $6. Our server was great. They are always busy, so give them some grace. We came during late lunch, got lucky and got seated right away, and it was still a revolving door of people, tables don't sit empty for long. They don't take reservations, and I understand why. They have limited space and when full, you sign up on the Board, there is a bar next door you can also receive a buzzer and go have a few drinks while you wait. This place is definitely worth the wait and we will repeatedly be back when we make it up to Omaha.

    Delicious food! Isn't that the most important thing at a restaurant?! Of course it is! Everett's…read moredefinitely deserves 5 stars on that category. More about that in a moment. In addition, our server Laura was great -- friendly, efficient, came back to check on us, refilled water glasses, prompt with the food and with our bill. The atmosphere was just ok. Some eclectic posters adorned the walls. There were a couple of large tv screens tuned to a sports channel. Interior seemed a bit dark for a sunny mid-afternoon. But the food! My wife & I shared a BBQ Pulled Pork and Bacon Burger with a side of Branding Potatoes plus a Fry Basket option #3 (asian). Each item was totally delicious -- amazing blends of flavors! I cannot give enough praise. Some creative genius (maybe several of them) was involved in cooking up this kind of flavorful delight! Highly recommend!!

I noticed a lot of newer eateries and businesses in Aksarben since the last time I was there, so hopefully some of them stick around a while. Anyhoo, on to Crispy Burger! First off, the interior is bright and colorful, with a lot of orange, red, and then an accent wall of black and white geometric shapes. It's a super welcoming vibe! One thing that's kind of weird is that the building (and Yelp and Google) says Crispy Chicken, but all the wrappers and signs say "Crispy Burger" which was confusing. The smells inside when you walk in make your mouth water, so get ready to over order if it's your first time here (we definitely did!) They have a LOT of fried things, like fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken, etc. So this definitely is not an every day place if you are looking for health food. We ordered the cheese sticks to start and they were enormous. Definitely shareable between a few people, as each cheese stick is like an appetizer in itself! I ordered the nuggets and fries, and they were really well breaded and pretty large. You can choose from about 1500 sauces for dipping (ok, maybe more like ten, but that's still a lot!) The fries were great too, that come as a side in your box. My husband had the bone in chicken wings combo, and he was very pleased with his choice. Gigantic wings, with fries, a biscuit, and mashed potatoes and gravy on the side. Now is Crispy Burger fine dining or somewhere you'd go on a date night? Definitely not. But it's nice, tasty food, for a pretty inexpensive price. So I would definitely recommend trying it out next time you're in the Aksarben area!

We ordered a chicken nugget meal with teriyaki skewers and a biscuit with a side of fries. This meal had a ton of food and left us feeling as full as a tick. I'd have to say the fan favorite of the night was the skewers. The flavor was so tasty and light. I believe it was chicken thighs, there were some fatty pieces but I honestly didn't mind. The nuggets reminded me of a similar fast food location with the Golden Arches logo. I honestly didn't mind because these had more flavor and seasonings within; same consistency of chicken within though. I can see myself coming back here to try some of their boba and rolled ice cream!
