The ambiance is very nice. I hadn't been here for years when they had a different location. We ordered breakfast and I ordered the Santa Fe Omelette A 3 egg omelette filled with sausage, sauteed green pepper, onion, mushroom, american cheese and monterey jack cheese. With marble rye toast and fresh fruit. It was a huge perfectly cooked omelette jam-packed with the delicious sausage and veggie filling. Rye bread was fresh and toasted the way I like. I enjoyed the melon & berry fruit cul. Our server was busy and the only person working the counter, take-out orders, and the tables. She did a good job despite being very busy. Do go there soon. It's in the beautiful Stirling Ridge food row. Highly recommended read more

Came here for brunch and overall thought it was just okay. They did get our large order out quickly and correctly (even with modifications) but I wasn't overly impressed by the food itself. My omelette was alright - the eggs felt pretty thick and the cheese on top wasn't the most appetizing. The chicken salad sandwich was a favorite of the group, as was the chili. I would probably give it another chance and try something other than an omelette. The servers were nice and helpful, and it is a nice and easy place to navigate with a wheelchair which is always a plus. Big portions as well. read more

Best oatmeal and pecan rolls I have found! The only thing I get every time. Staff is friendly when I use the pick up window.

did not care for the concept.... food just was not that good. will not not return. staff was OK

I've heard great things about this spot and it did not disappoint! My only regret was my own fault--ordering off of the lunch vs. brunch menu. Someone else in my party got cinnamon roll French toast and the smell alone will bring me back again to try this dish!! The sandwich was great, and I especially appreciate the great flavor and perfect texture of the steamed veggie side. Very fast service and inviting/casual atmosphere. Just what I heard! read more

Butter. Better. Weird coincidence, sound the same? Real Ingredients is the best win here. Summers Kitchen has the best Waffle-in-town, according to the 3.5' tall waffle expert in my family. She's tried them all. We keep coming back here. I get the Option 2 Breakfast Sandwich. Sausage is real fresh. Has Mayo by default which melts some...kapoww...perfect. Always hot. Not losing any calories but I'm a sucker for savory breakfast. Tons of coffee options. I'm not a big flavored coffee fan but it smells good. Service is always good. Fast and fresh in the drive thru. Pleasant inside the store. Just a consistently good experience. read more

This is one of Omahas best breakfast spots! We've been coming to summer kitchen for as long as I can remember! They serve breakfast and lunch and have a lengthy selection of menu options. I almost always get a potato casserole which are paper thin sliced potato's that have just the right amount of crispiness to them under a variety of toppings that come in about 10 different combinations. I got the prince charles which is grilled chicken, onion, cheese, broccoli, and hollandaise. It's fantastic through and through! My son got the pancakes and bacon which he enjoyed! They have a variety of coffee here which is "bottomless" and serve yourself. The service here was awesome! Our waitress clearly loved her job as she was enjoying the music and singing as she worked. read more

Best breakfast in town, just remember the giles location is the one you want, been there a hundred times always great

What a great little spot! Our first time there was great, a Monday morning and empty on the inside. I loved the people working, it almost felt like a small town cafe because they knew so many peoples names and orders. The breakfast was yummy! I would definitely go back. I wish I would have tried this sooner! read more

Summer Kitchen Cafe - bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I had been to Summer Kitchen in other locations in the Omaha area, and it had been a good experience. This smaller location apparently operates in a completely different way. Although a sign at the entrance says "Please Wait to Be Seated", there is no indication that you will not have a waiter. Instead, you are expected to order at the counter. This non-traditional dining style was not mentioned to us at any point. Instead, we were allowed to sit and wait, completely ignored, for a long period of time. We eventually walked out in the hopes of finding a restaurant that is properly run. If you operate normal restaurants under this brand name, then implement an inferior ordering experience at a new location, you should tell your customers that they have to order at the counter. Due to poor management and even worse communication, I will not waste my time here or at any other Summer Kitchen location. You deserve to go out of business. read more

My son and i decided to try summer kitchen for breakfast. We both ordered omelettes. I had the Prince Charles's omelet and my son ordered the Santa Fe omelet. The wait time for our food was very reasonable. I'm not a fan of the order at the counter set up. The omelets were good. They were well made and well seasoned. The potatoes were bland. The muffins were good. I would return when they are not busy. I don't want to stand in line to order. read more

Great breakfast spot with unbeatable pastries. Service is always good and quality of food is always same. If rustic chic was food this would be it. Great for casual tasty breakfast for a couple or group. read more

While the food may look underwhelming, this was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had out. The vibes are good and everyone was extremely friendly! Definitely will be coming back the next chance I get! read more

I havnt been to summer kitchen in about 15 years and it has only gotten better! Their chicken fried chicken is absolutely phenomenal! hand breaded with the homemade country gravy! It is so good! I don't necessarily Like how you don't have a specific server to order at the table with, but everyone is still extremely nice and helpful! I did take a picture of my food but wasn't able to post it. read more

SKC had been a go to restaurant back when it was on Maple Street. We were pleased to find that it was not only located in LaVista but also on Pacific...a little closer to home. It definitely serves comfort food and has always had the best breakfasts. Ordering at the counter can be a bit of a hassle unless you know what you want before going. Which is simple...just get on the web. Coffee could be hotter but they have been accomodating and put my husband's cup in the microwave. Their quiches are the best in Omaha, I think. The atmosphere is very nice. Accoustics, good. read more

We usually get our pecan and cinnamon rolls from Wheatfields Bakery and they are amazing. However, my husband is very partial to Summer Kitchen's coconut cream pie. So I told him to pick up 2 cinnamon rolls and 2 pecan rolls. What a mistake. They were dry, very little of the gooey goodness that is supposed to be on the pecan rolls and what little bit of frosting that was on the cinnamon rolls had a weird taste. 4 rolls $20.00 of icky. read more

This was my first visit to Summers Kitchen and it didn't disappoint! The place was very busy and I was impressed with the unique menu options plus the combination of having a Scooter's coffee! I decided to branch out and ordered the Prince Charles omelette because of the different ingredients (chicken, almonds, broccoli, hollandaise) I got potatoes for my side and a muffin. The omelette was good and very filling. I would have liked more seasoning on my potatoes but ketchup made them fine. The muffin was delicious! I also ordered regular coffee and was pleased with the little bar. This is a place you order and pay at the counter but they give you a number and bring your food to your table. Will definitely come back. read more

A new breakfast cook not as good as the previous one. The coffee is still excellent. The service is good The prices are high for the place in my opinion. It is a comfortable place. I would recommend it. read more

Cutest place ever!! The lady upfront is so sweet. The food was amazing! Donna (worked the counter) helped us pick out the best food! Marissa (bussed the tables) was also a huge help and so sweet. read more

It is a nice place with very good quality of food, I really enjoyed the coffee. It is a little bit small place but not a bad at all highly recommend read more

The server was very personable and pleasant. We went there for a simple salad and since all their options had meat and dairy in them, we asked for those items to be removed. They charged us extra to not put meat and cheese on. They when we received the salad, the onions they used were not fresh but frozen and slimy from thawing. I would give the food and pricing a 1 and the server a 5 but I had to split the difference. read more

Potato casserole fans ALERT ALERT!!!!! Another one I'm shocked I haven't given a try to recently. Trying to think of a spot for a quick brunch on a Saturday I saw summer kitchen driving by Sterling ridge area an knew I had to give this place a try. They had a huge menu on the wall when you walk in an you order up front an then sit down. I'm a huge fan of potato casseroles an this place did not disappoint by any means. Their the hand cut slices an are seared an cooked to perfection my gosh!!! I had the sante Fe an it had the perfect amount of sausage veggies and cheese an the dollop of sour cream was a nice touch. Also chose a morning glory which tasted an felt like it was straight out the oven. I absolutely loved my meal an will be keeping this as a top contender. read more

Summer Kitchen Cafe - Sante Fe scramble - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I wanted to like this place, and I might have if I had ordered something different. My main criticism is that the menu is far too large for a restaurant where you have to order at the counter. There seemed to be quite a few menu items that should just be removed. The potato casserole was greasy, tough, and flavorless. The muffins taste like straight up flour. The cinnamon roll is more like bread with a sickly sweet topping. I did taste a few other dishes at the table and it seems like a sandwich is the way to go. Also, don't go with a large group as we had to split up our party of eight. It may or may not be worth it, depending on what you get. read more

Awesome - wish wish we had this place in Monticello MN. We would be here all the time! The baked goods abound! Great dinner options. Service was super! read more

I started eating Here when it was in Ralston. So good, best croutons, and lively array of muffins. Then came LaVista location, bye bye croutons and hello bottled dressing and bagged salad. Along followed Cornhusker location, Yikes, what's going on here. Hello Papillion, smaller portions, less ingredients. Before moving to Fl. tried again, sat for 15 minutes just watching the wait staff ignore me. Got up and left. Came in town few weeks ago. Can it get worse? Potato casserole with hash browns, non existing ingrediants on the prince Charles. Just too bad. Even my daughter who started at 5 years old was beyond disappointed. ​ read more

I like almost everything thing about the Summer Kitchen on Pacific. The service is friendly and fast, great menu and location. The food is not the best part. I was assured their taco salad was "the best", well, it was edible. Today I had a BLT. Very hard toasted bread, brittle bacon, white tomato, little to no mayonnaise, but the lettuce was good. The sandwich was just dry and hard. I go here because friends like to meet here, just haven't found out what's great on the menu. read more

Disappointed if not irritated. Be prepared, if you've visited other locations, that this location is an "order at the front and seat yourself" situation. I came with my daughter on Mother's Day. They were OUT of cinnamon rolls, which my daughter wanted their popular ham scram and cinnamon roll. Poor planning, much? I had to quickly find a spot to sit, go back to the front counter and order. Drinks are self serve. The sign outside didn't say McDonalds, so this is confusing. I'll return to the drive thru one day, maybe? read more

My new favorite is Chicken Salad on Marble bread with a cup of chicken rice soup. All for a low cost of $8.76. The sandwich is about 3 inches thick. I was full after eating 1/2. Next time I may get the 1/2 portion for $1.50 less. They have almost 10 choices of bread, the chicken is cut in about 1/2 inch cubes, plenty of mayo, a hint of ranch, not much celery & pepper. The soup had very little chicken. I thought it was just rice & carrot soup until I found a speck of chicken, but the flavor was fantastic! You order at the counter just inside the door. Get a card #, fill your own drink, grab a set-up of silverware as you find the table you choose. It's a smooth flow. The lunch hour was busy, although there were a few tables open. Service was quick & friendly. I look forward to going back soon. They seem to have a large breakfast menu-even served over lunch hour...check it out! read more

We have been getting take-out from this location for years now, not sure why I haven't reviewed it until now! I can't remember a time when our order wasn't 100% accurate and fresh. The people who take the orders and work the window are very polite and friendly. The orders are also normally ready very quickly, too. Highly recommend! read more

I was in desperate need of a pick-me-up, but wasn't sure what was around. A quick Google search let me know that a new Scooter's had popped up less than a mile away from my present location. The line was rather short and passed quickly. The employees were really pleasant and my London Fog was delicious as ever! read more

Absolutely delicious food, not to mention great customer service. I got the junior size Kansas City potato casserole, and I was NOT disappointed at all.

First, this has sit-down prices at an order-at-the-counter place. Second, the food is stale and nuked. A good 20 percent of the meal was inedible because it was hard as a brick. Potato casserole should NOT break your teeth! Thirdly, the pumpkin muffin had no pumpkin in it. No flavor at all, in fact. And finally, for two people these tiny, inedible meals that we had to order at a counter were nearly $30. Never again! This was a horrible experience and extremely disappointing! read more
