In response to Kitt Meshinblah lah.. miss kitt,your review for Cubby's in the old market, and I…read morehave to disagree with how you singled out what you describe as a"transgender queer vibe" calling out one person's identity in that way isn't fair, especially when the real issue was about policy, not a person. Cubby's has restrictions at certain times for certain reasons. if you've actually grown up in the neighborhood, as you say, you'd understand the circumstances of the clientele they deal with. They can't make exceptions for one person without opening the door for everyone to demand the same. That creates problems for example theft, drug use of the restroom second-hand smoke exposure that both employees and others or even biohazard situations which require special cleanup crews. Rules exist for a reason, unless you're the president or the pope, they apply to you the same as anyone else bottom line, follow policy, or plan ahead so you're not caught needing this restroom when it's restricted.

This is a decent little gas station/convenience store that came in clutch for me while I was…read morestaying nearby in downtown Omaha. First thing to know, Downtown Omaha is kind of a grocery store desert - or at least that was the impression I got from my visit. We were travelling with our toddler and while I KNOW she should be 100% off bottles, we are picking our fights and she still enjoys one with her milk in the morning and in the evening. That being said, we only brought two bottles and planned on cleaning them as we went. Our only problem was we forgot dish soap. After asking the front desk where would be the easiest place to find some they recommended Cubby's and they were right! While you pay convenience store prices, it was easy to pick up what we needed and they had a few options which was nice. The store itself has a good variety of food, snacks, odds and ends, and likely serves as a little grocer for anyone who lives nearby. I wouldn't say I loved this place so much I would definitely return, but I will say it was clean, had what we needed, and was conveneint, which really was about all I could ask for in a nearby convenience store.

Sometimes a little higher than you would find at a larger supermarket...but you won't find a larger supermarket in this part of town! It's in the Brandeis Building, and to not distract from the majesty, the signage is kept small and vague, so you may not realize the Dollar General goodness available here. I have noticed a few expired items on the shelves, thus the 4-star review.

I've run across Lidderdale Country Store at several weddings the past few years. We recently held a…read moredinner event for our customers and Lidderdale was our first call! From the first call, through the event, Bill was very pleasant to work with, and very helpful. We had quite a few changes as RSVPs kept coming, then the weather took a turn for the worse on event night. Bill was able to accommodate our last minute change, and we still had a great event the next night! As far as the food, I've never heard anybody say anything bad about Lidderdale. Our office is in the next town over, and I think some of our customers only came because they heard who was catering! We'll gladly be doing business again with Lidderdale Country Store when our next event comes up!
