After enjoying countless outstanding meals at Shuck's Fish House & Oyster Bar on Pacific Street, I…read morefinally made it to the original Shuck's on Leavenworth in downtown Omaha. It was every bit as good as I had hoped. Shuck's knows seafood--and they know how to make dining fun. From their lively, engaging servers to their inviting atmosphere and unique menu offerings, everything comes together to create a memorable experience. Most importantly, the quality of the food consistently shines through. My wife and I ordered the Deep South Risotto, a delicious combination of fresh shrimp, Andouille sausage, and green beans tossed in a spicy, creamy risotto. We also enjoyed the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl, featuring perfectly cooked teriyaki-glazed salmon served over a blend of brown rice and red quinoa with tender sautéed broccoli. Paired with Shuck's famously ice-cold draft beer, these excellent entrées made for the perfect lunch before heading over to Big Ten Baseball at Charles Schwab Field Omaha. If you're visiting Omaha and find yourself downtown, make time for Shuck's Fish House & Oyster Bar. Great seafood, great atmosphere, and great service--you won't be disappointed.

Everything tasted fresh and the portions were solid. Messy in the best way. Casual, no-frills vibe and the food came out quick. Perfect kind of place when you're craving seafood and want something filling and flavorful. I'll be back for sure.

Knowing it's seafood it doesn't really get off the pungent fishy smell when you're in there also. The service was great and provided options that would actually be cheaper with all the things I wanted, love that! Do be ready to get a little messy, but it's worth it!

If you're looking for a no-frills spot that focuses on doing a couple things really well, Mo Fish…read moreis worth checking out. The menu is simple--catfish and walleye are the stars--and honestly, that's all they need. Both were cooked perfectly with great flavor, crispy on the outside and tender inside. Portions are large. Sides are about what you'd expect: classic coleslaw and wedge fries. Nothing fancy, but they get the job done and pair well with the fish. Service was friendly and efficient, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The only real downside is that everything is served in styrofoam cups and plastic utensils. It takes away a bit from the overall experience, especially if you're dining in. It is cash only, but they have an ATM.

This has been sitting in my drafts…read more Came here for dinner one night while visiting my son when he lived here. Chose this restaurant based on reviews, had a 20% off coupon courtesy of my hotel, and steak. Lucked out and got parking in front. Ordered the Caesar Salad, rack of lamb, and seven layer coconut cake for dessert. Son got the ribeye. Restaurant gives you a choice of steak knives, nice touch. Everything was delicious and decent portions. Good service. But more upscale restaurant. We dressed casually because it was winter and I hadn't packed anything fancy. Despite our casual dress, still had good service.

After three nights in Omaha and having steak each night, I wanted something different this evening…read morefor dinner, so I wanted to come here. I knew that J. Gilberts serves more than just steaks, as I've been to the one in Tysons Corner and loved that one. There were four of us who came here for dinner... We started with cocktails, which took an odd amount of time to arrive at the table - we got half and then waited about 10 minutes for the other two to show up. Not sure what happened here, but those who got their drinks waited so we could all drink together and this made that moment a little off. We started with their Pretzel Crusted Onion Rings - WOW!! These things were HUGE!!! The thickest and biggest onion rings I've ever seen or had and they were tasty! The pretzel crust was very tasty too. I opted for their blackened chicken rigatoni for dinner. It was decent, but on the bland site. The roasted red pepper cream was interesting looking, but a scoop of blandness too. Overall I did like the flavor of the chicken and the sauce/texture was nice. This visit was decent, but slight delays in service and food being on the bland side makes me want to give it 4 instead of 5 stars.

Came for a table for one. Despite plenty of seating available, I was told it would be about a 20…read moreminute wait. I added myself to the waiting list and was told I'd receive a text message when my table was ready. I received the original text message, confirming I was successfully added to the waiting list. After an hour wait, I messaged the staff via the waiting list. No response. I observed perhaps 100 people go in and dine, many also leaving. I assumed they had been on the waiting list. After no respond and a total of an hour and a half wait, I walked up the street to M's Pub and was seated immediately. M's is a better restaurant anyway... I'd give this a zero out of five stars if possible. Profiled for being a table of one... Funny, I rang up a $150 bill at M's.

This woman owned business has been in the south Omaha area for approximately 4 to 5 years and…read morerecently opened its newest location at 132nd and center. I've been to this location before but it's been a while and we really enjoyed coming back. Came in on a Saturday afternoon when it's fairly typical to have live mariachi bands roving the restaurant. The restaurant is large, and has a fun fiesta of decor. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated without reservations. It should be noted that they will take reservations during the week, but not on weekends. There are a number of large tables that can accommodate bigger groups. Complementary parking lot is available out front. However, it does get a little tight during their busy times. This is an interesting Mexican restaurant as it reminds me of something more typical of what you would find on the Yucatán peninsula. Shrimp and mixed ceviche dishes, a large variety of fish dishes, including whole fish that are very traditional for that part of Mexico. They also serve excellent salsa and guacamole, however, this is not the type of Mexican restaurant you can order dishes of queso, or some of the more traditional dishes that you would find at other, more Americanized restaurants. Our server, Christine V was super! We got there a little early in order to secure a larger table off to the side since our infant granddaughter is going to be joining us for a birthday celebration. This restaurant well they don't allow you to bring it outside cakes for dessert offer a variety of desserts that can be offered for special occasions. We were able to select a strawberry Tres Leche cake, which was just perfect for the occasion. We also enjoyed their margaritas, which were excellent and offered in the variety of enormous proportions! Everything that was ordered, was generous in quantity and delicious and quality that included a variety of fajitas and shrimp dishes. This location also offers seafood rolls that are prepared at a sushi counter. For those that are a little less brave there are a number of options that offer everything cooked and prepared just like you would find in any local sushi restaurant and as good. The one thing I also love about this restaurant is that it is immaculately clean. There's a dedicated crew that roams and never leaves anything unbussed for long. Everything appears to be wiped, sanitized, and swept in between every round of customers which is brisk. The manager came around and checked on us to ensure we have everything we need and offered us to go bags. Everything about this visit was very positive. Highly recommend this location as it's been voted one of the best of Omaha for 2023.

We initially decided to come here because our daughter's name is Isla and we thought she would think it was cool to see her name when we explained to her what it was called but the food will definitely motivate us to come back.

I can't actually find it on pictures of the menu, but the dish we ordered was served in a pineapple and it was phenomenal!

You should ha e explained to me what the server fee was. I would still have tipped good. It now I'll never go back.

First time in. Decided to try lunch. There are lunch specials…read more We are not fans of pho per se, but we do enjoy a good seafood boil. The boils are the way to go. You can choose from a wide variety of seafood such as shrimp, mussels, lobster, snow crab etc. once you choose your seafood that you select your flavoring. Choices are Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter, or a mix of all three. Lastly, choose your spice level (mild, medium, hot, etc). We both selected the snow crab and snow boil with Cajun seasoning and mild spice. The boils also come with corn, potatoes and a hard boiled egg. Never seen the egg in a boil before. Everything comes out in a big plastic bag in a steel pan. Dump the contents out and prepare to dig in. Let me say that this is not the place to go out all dressed up. The boils are very messy. They give you an apron and plastic gloves, but still a mess. It was delicious. We also got a couple sides of hush puppies which were very tasty as well. Good portions. Staff was friendly and informative. Really great flavors in the boils. They did a real good job. Definitely worth checking out.

The server was great and even gave us great recommendations for beverages in the Old Market area. Beautiful furniture and an elegant feel to Memoir, making it a great "special occasion meal" location. I've been here a couple times and couldn't recommend the potato puffs appetizer enough. The fluffy and crunchy potato served with cheese that perfectly coats the puff. Delightful. The eggs Benedict was very uniquely blended together by the pickled onion and avocado, no meat, which is a neat take on eggs Benedict. Well seasoned hollandaise sauce with a perfectly poached egg. For the mocktail drinkers like myself, they have three options to choose from. One jalapeño & pineapple, a guava orange, and one other. They pay close attention to detail, from laying the plates with the name "Memoir" facing you, to cooking your meal to near perfection. They even give the birthday person a card signed by the staff, alongside a complimentary dessert.
