Regret that I only discovered this place about 3 years ago after growing up in Omaha, but it has become my go to fried chicken place in the city. Is crispy with the perfect amount of spice to give it a bit if a kick that is not overpowering. I drive there all the way from West O. (144th & Maple). It's that good. One of these days I'll try their burgers as well, but I can't not order chicken these days whenever I go. read more

Below average. They serve premade burgers. They are stacked up, and served cold and soggy. The fried chicken was comparable to KFC. I didn't really care for all the unseasoned breading. Service was okay, from what little interaction I hat that the counter. They still have the dining area shut down. Not sure if it will ever reopen at this point. Do I care? No, because I'll not be going back. I'd rather eat fast food than this. read more

Time out is not worth waiting for anymore. The burgers are not tasty and moist like they used to be. The chicken isn't spicy anymore. The service is stuck up like they don't want you there. They don't make you feel welcome . The cashies act like what the fuck you doing here. No lights on in the cooking area. Tables got police tape on them saying take your ass home and eat this nasty as food. It's awful and the place should be closed Popeyes will get all my business now. I spent 25$ and they wouldn't give me a extra box to separate my food for my friend I bought food for. You don't even see lines of people there like you used to they must feel like I do. Good writtens your time is out. read more

When I'm in Florence/north O and I have a hankering for some excellent fried chicken, I drive thru Time Out foods. Locally owned, great staff. Also try the sweet potato pie. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! Service was nice and quick with fresh service. Fries cool down quick, tho

Best fried chicken in the city forsure! Got me a 3pc dark with fries and potato salad. Got a pepper and hot sauce and this food puts me right to sleep after. You can't eat in so you have to take it to go. But it's always so fresh and piping hot. They have the fried chicken down to a science , it's always perfectly crispy! Must try in omaha! read more

Tried this place 3 years ago and it was amazing tried it recently and chicken did not taste the same. Hamburgers are pretty good, customer service basic. read more

The best fried chicken In omaha in my humble opinion. Not sure what they put in thier chicken but it's amazing.

the picture on this app of Time out Chicken Does Not do justice to what their fried chicken looks like, or tests like. this is a simple take out place, but the recipe they use for fried chicken is one of a kind, and uniquely very good. It is a treat to go there for fried chicken because it has it's own really good flavor. not bland, not greasy, crispy & light. they are sort of slow, but every time I have been in there, there has been a line. Enjoy, it's clean, but very casual. read more

The Company Slogan is Omaha's Best Fried Chicken. WRONG! They have NEBRASKA'S Best Fried Chicken. Time Out has an old school fast food feel to it. A long window greets you as you walk in. A few booths to sit and enjoy and that is the whole space. The Menu is simple and small. Fried Chicken, a few Burgers. a couple sides. and a few Sandwiches. The Fried Chicken is the best ever! Wonderful crisp and great flavor. Cooked perfectly everytime. If you have not had any yet. run down and get yourself some. You will be hooked!! read more

Time Out Foods - The Big Bob - Chicken Wings Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This food was delicious!! I would give it. 4.5, but I don't want to downvote it to a 4, so I'll give it 5 stars. The chicken was the best fried chicken I've had here in Omaha so far with it being juicy and the breading so crunchy! The fries weren't bad, but I feel like some seasoning would add to the experience. The potato salad was not my favorite, but I recognize that's personal taste- it was well made and tasted like it was made with love. I also got the German chocolate pie and it was yummy! High quality pie with high quality ingredients. Definitely recommend! The lady at the window was very sweet as well! read more

Time Out Foods - 3 PC combo - Chicken Wings Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

North Omaha delivers on the Fried Chicken. Many Omaha residents would draw a hard line at Cuming st. due to the rougher areas in North O, but that is a shame because there are more serious eats and nice people in North Omaha than you would think. Is it worth the drive and the slightly sketchy neighborhoods? I sure think so. Time Out is located in a dilapidated parking lot, adjacent to a sad looking drive thru that's long been closed, and a liquor shop across the street which has an eerie glow at night and bars on the doors and the windows. It doesn't disappoint if this is a rare visit to a part of town you usually don't drive through. I did my best to avoid the prying stares of patrons sitting in their cars as I walked by and made my way to the counter. Ordering is easy- there are not many options. I suggest the 2-3 piece meal, which comes with drink, roll, coleslaw and runs you $7-9. You can request dark meat (yay). The skin is crispy, the chicken hot, and the food is ready very quickly. They also have a drive thru that moves at a rate of 5-7 mins per car. As I walked back to my car clutching the goods, even the "hey girl" hollered at me did not break my smile. Credit the chicken. read more

Okay, time to add more photos to this bomb place because the current ones on here don't do it justice. I literally waited in line for 30 minutes on a Friday noon to get my food so you best bet I had high expectations. Seriously, I saw state troopers come in, 18wheeler drivers come in, even someone got in line with a zip car they rented just to get this chicken. I got a 3 piece with a roll, small dirty rice, and a slice of German chocolate pie for all my troubles and the consensus is: It's pretty damn good! Chicken is THE BEST. Crunchy and full of flavor, obviously the highlight of the trip. The dirty rice is in one of those condiment containers people put to go salsa in so it's not a large quantity for a small and it wasn't as flavorful as I expected. The German chocolate pie didn't SCREAM chocolate to me and there are bits of coconut in it (which I wasn't aware of but hey, happy surprises). My advice? Head straight for the chicken and don't look back. I love these staple places that haven't been gentrified to all hell, and this is coming from someone who lives IN midtown. I'd rather spend 11 bucks for ALL that I got versus some bland, overly dry chicken sandie any day, just saying read more

I wouldn't call myself a friend chicken connoisseur around Omaha, because the only other place I have a vague recollection of is the surf-side from years back... Anyway, here it goes... Since one of my co-workers raves about this place (using adjectives like "the golden crunch" and "Fruitful Nectar") I was super excited to give it a try and went with the standard. 2 pieces of chicken, fries and a Coke. I have to say he's (and everyone else in town who knows fried chicken) definitely onto something here... it was fantastic. My only regret is that I didn't get to dig in when it was freshly cooked and had to reheat mine in the microwave, which I'm sure took away from some of the crispiness. Even with the microwaving action, the chicken was STILL the crispiest and most flavorful fried chicken I've had in recent memory. read more

Time Out Foods - Time out to go! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Time out is an Omaha staple. They recently closed for a bit but opened back up and didn't miss a step. The chicken is seasoned perfectly!!!! Plus the strawberry "pop" is the best you'll taste in life. From the fries to the Bobs burger, you can't go wrong. However, know that you WILL wait (and not a short wait) to get this deliciousness. read more

Some of the best fried chicken in Omaha. Time Out Foods is a small restaurant that doesn't look like much from the outside, but has some very good food inside. There is also a drive thru. Order at the counter. Ladies working behind the counter are friendly, but don't mess around and they are moving at a decent clip to get the food out to you in a timely manner. Got the 2 meat combo that comes with French Fries, Roll and Coleslaw. Got a side of baked beans as well. Chicken is delicious, if not just a tiny bit dry. Particularly good is the well seasoned crispy skin. Throw some hot sauce on the skin and call it done. Really tasty. Fries are hot and crisp. Baked Beans have a variety of beans in there with a somewhat sweet flavor. Coleslaw is also tasty. Sides are relatively small. If you want a refill on your drink, it will cost you 25 cents. Desserts are also available. Either a slice of pie or a turnover. I opted for the cherry turnover. Pretty decent, but a little small. Not much room to sit. Only about 4 or 5 booths in the entire place. Definitely a place I will go to again. read more

Time Out Foods - Chicken combo 2 piece - Chicken Wings Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I've only had Time Out's chicken once so far, but I've been eager to try it for awhile now! I thought the chicken was well seasoned and very crispy--this is a win! That's really the basic points to creating a good fried chicken meal for me! My disappointment was mainly in the sides offered- we got some coleslaw that was underwhelming, and the fries were pretty much unseasoned. (I'm a sucker for some well-seasoned fries, too!) the rolls were okay, nothing too impressive there either! All in all, service was FAST and the food was well priced, and definitely fed plenty of people with a 15 piece roll meal (added the fries and coleslaw). read more

First time back to Time out..I can definitely see the changes... updated drive thru menu board and speaker... prices went up and it looked like they are sacrificing quality for price... the fries are not the ones I'm use to I'm use to the crinkle cut, the chicken looked like it needed to change the grease...still the best chicken in Omaha.. read more

I ate at numerous places in Omaha on my visit and this was the most memorable! I did not expect for the Big Bob burger to be as delicious as it was. Before I could get back on the expressway that burger was GONE! It's like Wendys/Big Mac/ homemade flavour in the perfect sized burger. Not too meaty not soggy it was soo good. Oh and the strawberry pop out the fountain!!! The chicken was good but I was mad at myself for not ordering two Big Bobs. I will be back in Omaha and will probably just sit in the parking lot and eat read more

The food is fresh... USUALLY!... understand that I said usually- there are times that they are not fresh. They are super stingy with their hot sauce! And sometimes have an attitude when you ask for some. Workers get REALLY upset if you don't specify if you want to eat in or take out... I guess they don't want to waste a bag on someone who is going to eat in. Understandable but they need to NOT have an attitude about it. The black lady with the gray hair acts as if she is miserable with her existence and "ticked" that she is working there. Just because a restaurant is in "the hood" doesn't mean that customer service needs to be degraded! Customer service in any location needs to be excellent... I guess they might feel like their chicken is just that great that they can treat people in way. The Caucasian woman at the window is very nice and professional. If I continue to get poor customer service... I will not be back... and I'll just make my own fried chicken... which is a lot better anyways ;). What makes Time Out so good is there batter is fried hard... but the DO NOT have any seasoning in their batter! read more

Time Out Foods - 3 wing combo (chickwn wing, fries, coleslaw, Hawaiian roll & soda)... total $6.68. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This was my first time having Time Out's chicken and fries. Our office brought it in for lunch. It was good, not my typical lunch and a bit heavy, but good. I probably won't have it again only because I don't eat a lot of fried food. However, if you are in the mood for fried chicken this will not disappoint. This would also be a great take out item for a potluck. read more

Best place to go for fried chicken. It's more of a take-out than an eat-in place since it's pretty small and there are only four booths. For me, the service has been friendly. The staff isn't really into small talk and I respect that. I've only had their chicken, but have heard wonderful things about their other menu items. I look forward to trying them. read more

Soooooo, I finally made to this place that I've heard so much about . I ordered some wings some baked beans and some dirty rice. I have to be honest everything tastes good except the chicken has absolutely no seasoning and then it really blew my mind when I look past the cashier and noticed racks and racks and racks of fried chicken already cooked sitting under a heat lamp . I guess it just let me know how fresh my chicken was not going to be. All I can say is thank God for hot sauce! My french fries were also turning white at the ends I don't know what that necessarily means but I asked for another order. Overall it was a great experience . The customer service was great I feel like part of the community everyone knows everyone and I have never seen so many customers in and out of one establishment in a short amount of time in my life. read more

I really wanted to support a local business with good fried chicken... however when I walked in it seemed liked everyone had a bad attitude. I waited extremely too long to be helped, for what I received. When I got home I was even more disappointed. I specifically asked for white meat and they gave me dark. read more

The fried chicken here was probably the best I had in Nebraska. It didn't taste like it was factory made, mainly since it's family owned and operated. The place was in what some people in Nebraska would call sketchy, but that's usually where you find your best food. The chicken was very juicy and tender. It wasn't covered in too much breading and not very greasy either. The fries seemed mass produced buy I didn't go there for fries. The staff was nice and the place was clean and friendly read more

Time Out Foods - So good I want to smack someone - Chicken Wings Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

For whatever reason, I have recently been on a fried chicken kick. I have always loved it but just don't usually eat it often. But, recently while at work, I had a craving and came to Yelp to find a nearby location. What popped up was Time Out Foods. I made the drive over to check it out. I've since been back a few other times and I can say that I am a fan. First, the fried chicken. It's good, really good. But, I'm an easy target because I like most fried chicken. It's a hard thing to mess up. However, I do enjoy the fried chicken at Time Out. The sides are mostly good. The cole slaw and potato salad are standard. The fries are great but the real star is the dirty rice. So good! I've not had the burgers but I have heard good things. They also have slices of pie for dessert that are on the 'to try' list soon. There are maybe four or five booths in the place so most of the business is take out. The people working the windows are fast and efficient, though not overly friendly. They aren't rude, mind you, but they get your order, get it filled and get you out the door. It's definitely worth the trip to Time Out if you want to try some good friend chicken. read more

this is my favorite chicken place i even worked here in high school. now im pissed to know after steve died the buffets bought it and are tearing it down???? gentrification at its finest!! read more

Very good chicken! Super fresh and tasty every time! I wish they could open another location closer to where I live!

My experience at Time Out was very disappointing today. I've spent a lot of money at your establishment over the years supporting your restaurant , but was denied service because I didn't have a "proper mask on" my nose and mouth was still covered and they still denied my service. I will not be back again. I even gave them a second chance after I received cold chicken and some stiff ass fries a month ago. If I could leave "zero" stars I would!!! read more

I went here on a recommendation. Well worth the trip to Northern Omaha from Bellevue. Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. I was 8th in the drive-thru line at 4pm, so I knew it would be good, and it didn't disappoint. Huge wings. By the time I got in line they were out of breasts for the day, so my 9-piece came only with wings, thighs and drumsticks. But boy, were they good! Have a ton of other offerings on the menu as well. Reasonable prices. read more

Awesome chicken, stopped on a whim and can't believe my luck. Some of the best fried chicken I've had and that wasn't homemade. Get there early, I've been twice in the afternoon and they've run out of wings. Great value as well. read more

Best fried chicken I've ever eaten!!!!! Once you start eating you won't be able to stop.

This is the best fried chicken in Omaha. It's fried in peanut oil, so be aware of that. But, of you aren't allergic to peanuts, eat this chicken! It's seasoned perfectly and fried to perfection. It's definitely one of my favorites here in Omaha. read more

This is a favorite of mine. When my wife and I move to Omaha six years ago, we lived near Cuming and 30th Street. One chilly, fall night, we had a hankering for some fried chicken. I searched for one online and came across Time Out Foods, with reviews claiming it was the best fried chicken in town. How fortunate that it was 5 minutes away from our apartment. We ordered a 9 piece bucket-o-chicken and ended up with like 11 pieces (your experience may vary). It smelled so good, that we busted open the white and red box and took a couple bites. Yes, this is what we were expecting. Spicy, crispy, flavorful outside, with moist meat inside. This was some good fried chicken. Even though we live in West O now, we make it out to Time Out Foods every once in a while. It does suffer from inconsistency, like many of the smaller eateries in Omaha do, but they are generally very good. It is busy on weekend nights and we have usually ordered through the window, as do most of their customers. The other items on the menu are also tasty, but come on, you're reading this to know if the chicken is good. Well it is, so go out and get some. read more

New in town, I got a craving for fried chicken. Time Out Chicken showed up on an internet search and it is the best fried chicken I have ever tasted! A small little restaurant and drive-thru, their chicken is crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. I always order the wings. Outstanding recipe. Friendly staff and quick service. read more

After driving by dozens of times and reading the good reviews on Yelp, I thought I'd give it a try. While there were only two cars ahead of us in the drive through, it took about 10 minutes to place our order. Place is a little dilapidated but I didn't come here for decorating tips. I must admit I was a little disappointed in the Chicken. It was really dry and there was probably more breading on it than chicken. What the chicken lacked, the sides almost made up for. The dirty rice was delicious and a little spicy. It was so good, I would consider making the trip for the dirty rice alone. The baked beans were perfect. I think I found a few chunks of pineapple in it. All in all it wasn't too bad. I may try them again sometime. read more

Don't order the combo meal if you're not a mayonnaise-based coleslaw fan. Stick with the fried chicken and homemade pies. Yum! Probably not the best fried chicken in the world, but definitely the best in Omaha. I wish they had an option to get some kind of boneless chicken. I don't like to be reminded that my chicken...you know...had bones. read more

The Fried Chicken is the best I've ever had, outside some family home kitchens. Loved the fact that they add some garlic powder to the seasoning. First restaurants I have ever been to that did that. Otherwise, the lines are long, the sides are mediocre and service is obstinate. Worth going just for the chicken. Will return at first opportunity. read more
