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!!

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!

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.

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

Time out to go!

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.

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.

Not the fries I'm use too

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..

3 wing combo (chickwn wing, fries,  coleslaw, Hawaiian roll & soda)... total $6.68.

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!

The fries are crispy but not hard, the ratio of Rangoon is perfect and I eat them all, every time! I tried their grilled cheese which is a rotating assortment of cheeses and jams paired with a specific bread! This one was 6 different cheeses, blueberry lemon jam, on sour dough! Even though it may look like you made it yourself at home, the flavor was IMMACULATE! The jam pulls the sourdough and cheeses together perfectly! I want 6 more!

Really good and no regrets devouring these. They were so good that we want to try to recreate these at home--but that's going to be extremely difficult. The Croque Garson burger was really big and really messy (as expected). But I think the cook was having a bad day honestly. We asked for both burgers to be medium-rare because I didn't want it to be well done. I just wanted it under-done (I'm not that picky--any amount of pink or red would have been great with me). First, let me point out the good -- the egg was PERFECTLY cooked. The ham was delicious. The mustard and aioli were plentiful! The buns were fresh and toasted. But the beef? This is where the bad gets pointed out -- it was so overdone that I couldn't eat it. It had a nice crust on either side. But the inside was just about as dark. It's just a shame because this was some high quality beef. I took a doggy bag home so my pooches could have a nice snack. I ended up eating the egg and ham with the top half of the bun and all the messy mustard mayo goodness. But it was not a satisfying burger experience. Sad face.

The menu here seemed a little limited, but boy oh boy did we enjoy what we ordered!!…read more We started with cocktails. The waitress suggested a piña colada, which was so tasty! The coconut came through like a tropical paradise. The rum, a perfect level. Good to the last drop. My dining partner had a rum punch which was on the menu, and it really tasted good too! For an entrée, I decided to judge their version of the Cubano sandwich. It was different than others I have had before, in a good way! It was packed with pork. The pickles were a little bit on the light side, but they found their way into some bites every now and then. I would definitely try it again. My dining partner order Pernil Al Horno. This is also a pork item. Unlike the Cubano sandwich, this pork was prepared in a slow roast with delicious Puerto Rican spices. Delish!!! We chose a rice with various ingredients that made this dish outstanding. The service is friendly, the place is lively. Try it out.

Every time I go, the place is packed with life, music, and good energy. Depending on the day, you might even catch a live performance! They also teach salsa on Sundays, which makes the whole experience even more fun. My only complaint is the parking, it can definitely be a little annoying depending on when you go. Other than that, 5 stars from me!
