Excellent service here on a very busy Sunday! Plan ahead to come early or be prepared to wait. Wheatfields has an extensive menu so there is something for everyone. The muffins are always a treat and the caramel apple pie is a family favorite. read more

Wow so disappointed with the service here. Restaurant was not crowded, I asked a waitress as she walk by us if we could order coffee. Her response was your server will be over. No sorry for your wait. Let me get your server. She took about three steps then came back and ask Ed if we wanted plain coffee. I wanted to order a special Coffee and she took our coffee order. My wife got her regular coffee right away. I waited for about 15 min and asked her her if my coffee was coming. She responded that our server will get it. I responded and said does he know I ordered it. She turned and walked away. Server came over in less than 5 min with the coffee. Sitting in the booth we noticed the plant in the window ceil was layered in dust and cobwebs in the corners of the window. Will not go back. So unfortunate as food is good. read more

Food was horrid, I got a gingerbread waffle and it was a glob of glue on top! My wife got a muffin that tasted like cornbread. Such a sad demise for a former great establishment. read more

So incredibly OVER PRICED. Due to some stupid policy, you CANNOT order a custom omelette. Like "I want a cheese an mushroom" and the server will tell they WILL NOT make an omelet that isn't listed. The 'big cheese' of the joint is tone deaf to customer complaints. Eat there and marvel how a breakfast/lunch place can be so preposterously OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE. My advice...get an egg McMuffin at McDonalds. read more

This review is for the bakery. I do not care how good the pastries, cookies, brownies and other pastries are. The service is an abomination. When there are not many customers, the service is glacial. The set up is confusing, which register should one approach? No signage. When they are busy, the place is nothing but utter chaos. The pricing is pretty aggressive. There are better bakeries in the Big O. read more

Moved to NE from out of state 6 years ago, but have been referred to Wheatfields by different people I've met over the past few years. Finally tried it today. Very average menu, average quality once the food arrived, and the server was nice, but only because it's her job. I didn't feel any extra friendliness, which is fine. However, the hostess was definitely not friendly AT ALL. I sat down and told the others in our party that if she is our waitress, we're leaving. Luckily she wasn't, but I still won't be back. Too many places in town with way better food and nicer/friendlier atmosphere. read more

The Octoberfest special (10/27/19 @7:50 P.M.) was very disappointing! Plain lukewarm roast beef (about 2 oz.), no sausage until I asked for it (when it was finally delivered it was only 1" long), no sauerbraten gravy (a yellow substitute was served in a plastic cup), sliced stale rye bread, a cold potato pancake, and-so-on! I found the manager and complained. He did not bother coming to our table or apologize. It was a huge unpleasant experience. My friend and I had the bill adjusted so we did not pay for the two Octoberfest orders. Another friend ordered the Lobster Benedict... no lobster or fish in it, just two poached eggs over bacon filled hash browns. The waitress was excellent!!!We arrived at 6:50 and were served at 7:45. A decent manager would have come to the table to check on my complaint. read more

I commissioned a birthday cake for today. I called in advance because my wife was picking it up, and they confirmed it was ready. When she got there, they gave her the wrong cake. After looking for a little bit, they got the right cake, but it was incomplete. It was empty with none of the lettering. To compensate for it, they just gave her birthday candles. Im really unhappy with how unorganized the staff was, that it was incomplete, and at what they thought was proper compensation. If I picked it up, I would have asked for a refund, and I'm no longer going to this location for future cakes. read more

We've always loved their pies and "wedding cake." I haven't been inside since August, but today I walked in to buy some take-out bakery items. 1/2 the adult customers in the entry/bakery area were not wearing a mask. There was no sign reminding people to mask visible on the entry doors. There was an older male employee stocking baked goods on shelves not wearing a mask. It begs the question- if they can't adhere to a basic mask mandate during a pandemic, are they washing their hands and doing all the other non-obvious things to keep the place clean and diners safe? I left without making a purchase and won't be back. read more

They've definitely gone down hill, or maybe I just didn't realize it. Ordered the fish and chips, expecting real fish and maybe hand breaded like other places. Unfortunately, you get 4 frozen fish patties all the same shape, size and color. Two of the four prices were "decent", I mean nothing to write home about but the other two, weren't cooked all the way and the meat was pink; rather white. Slightly disappointed. The ranch however, is still their #1 choice in my book. As are their lemon bars. read more

Wheatfields has gone down in quality significantly since I last reviewed it in 2012. We have gone to Wheatfields for years and have always enjoyed their bakery, service, and wide menu variety. While the strawberry wedding cake is still something that I really enjoy, their food flavors have gone down. We got some of the specials- the new years scramble was basically an overcooked omelette with some hollandaise drizzled on top (that could not be tasted). The chicken fried steak was solid and has been for years. The biscuits were mediocre and a tad dry. Wheatfields has steadily increased their prices over the years as well- they are expensive relative to other breakfast places in the city. The portions are still fairly large, though. Despite the high prices and meh food, Wheatfields still might be a good place to take large parties due to the huge menu options and the bakery. That being said, I would go to places like 11 worth Cafe or Saddle Creek Breakfast Club over Wheatfields. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. My friend and I were visiting Omaha for a show to honor her father that had recently passed away. We came to WheatFields after an excellent visit in the city. We were confused as where to order and took a moment to find menus with no guidance from any staff around. The place is set up in a confusing manner with hardly any signage. We ended up ordering food from a cashier and then were confused as to where we were supposed to eat our $14 meals we had just bought. We thought the resturant area was a sitting area for all customers. We soon realized our error and that there was a server for each section. Since no server had been by to greet us for well over 5 mins after we sat down, I immediately realized our error and sought staff assistance. While I was gone from our table, a waitress came to my friend and rudely and aggressively asked her if she was planning on tipping her if she wasn't going to order food through her. My friend explained the confusion and that we were trying to get it sorted and the waitress kept giving her an attitude about the issue. Eventually, feeling bullied, she said she would just leave to resolve the issue. I got up to find assistance from an older gentleman at the host stand who was very kind and understanding of the mix up and offered to seat us upfront for a moment so we could finish our meals and hit the road back home. As soon as we sat down the "manager" Luis hustled over angrily asking us to leave. I explained the situation and that the host sat us there knowing our situation. He told us that we were stealing money from the server by not purchasing anything through her or tipping (there was nobody waiting to sit down and no line of customers). We were so appalled by this type of rudeness from management and hope no customer is ever spoken to like that again. We told him "I guess we will go eat in our car then?" To which he quickly agreed that would be best. Not only was the first visit to this resturant disappointing but never in my years have I ever dealt with more rude or inattentive staff. Luis needs to be trained in customer service and hospitality management in general. Will never visit again and will make sure to warn others of this place as well. read more

Have never had a worst experience in my life at a restaurant. An hour and a half later and walked away still with no food! Around 10:15am Called to make sure, Hey we're a large group around 20 people. Can you accommodate us? Yes she said. Lindsey the floor manager. We have a patio area, I get there and tables are not together but very separate. Okay no problem. Our group was over 20 people and we had only one lady Lisa, she did the best she could. But what awful management from Lindsey. Who would have one server for over 20 people. People's food came at different times. Mine like I said after an hour and a half still didn't come at all along with a few others who were still waiting. Very disappointing and embarrassing to have brought my family and friends here for our holiday. This is our tradition we come to Wheatfields every year for Eid. This will sadly be our last time we'll find a new place. read more

Wheatfields always has great service. The coffee is a bit weak but the breakfast, selection of baked goods and pastries are to die for. They have private areas to reserve if you want to sit in one of the glass enclosed sundecks. On your way out be sure to grab something to go from the bakery. read more

I went to this location a couple weeks ago to get some pie. I was incredibly disappointed to be greeted with signs for political candidates in front of a business. In my opinion that is in poor taste no matter who you're supporting. Further, the mask wearing was absolutely zero in this facility. The pie was good though, so I'll give them a tiny amount of credit for that. Do better. read more

This place was great! We went in on a Saturday morning for brunch, choosing to sit on the enclosed patio area. While it was a busy place, the patio was cozy, surrounded by flowers and natural sunlight. We were greeted by our server and brought out our drinks quickly. Try out the latte with whipped cream! It was perfect! I ordered the French Riveria Omlet with hasbrowns and GF bread (which they only have a GF bun for bread options). They give you their homemade bumbkeberry jam, which to my taste was perfect. It's combination of tart and sweet. The omlet was to die for. The hollendaise sauce was on point but can come off as a little strong on the omlet. My guest ordered the keilbasa and eggs. If you love keilbasa I would strongly suggest this dish. We even discussed how it would be perfect diced up into an omlet too. I made notes of all the other food I want to try in the future. Plenty of home style options to look forward too. I was also extatic that they had a bakery and GF bakery items. First time in a year I was able to have a GF Cinnamon roll! I just wish they had GF pie options or ready to buy GF buns. Can't wait to return! read more

The place has a great bakery and all but food... the worst. I got the simple chicken tenders and fries, subbed the slaw for potato salad and I'll just say the water and fries were good. The chicken tenders were breaded with Frosted Flakes and there was not a speck of seasoning anywhere. The chicken tenders tasted like they had been thawed in a dirty sink, crusted with food from over the years and is occasionally cleaned once every two weeks. The potato salad? Oh lord, it needed a BIG blessing. There were 5 small chunks of potatoes and the whole thing tasted like Hellman's mayonnaise. It was my first time trying food at this location but both have mediocre food for a ridiculous price. Three small chicken tenders, a small portion of fries and slaw with a roll for $10.99? Needless to say, I went to Runza afterwards to get my chicken tender fix; I was satisfied. read more

Perfect, highly recommend it. The table food, menu selection, and bakery are excellent.

Hey Tammy S. - I'm so with you! Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience at this horrible restaurant, and wish I could say that I found it hard to believe that Ron and his wife are COVID IDIOTS. Based on my experience today, I find the details in your review all too easy to believe. Outrageous lack of customer service seems to be a consistent theme. This afternoon I called inquiring about Thanksgiving meal delivery options for my bedridden and isolated grandparents, who live in Omaha. For some mysterious reason, the grandparents enjoy the food at this restaurant, which is why I tried so hard to get this food today. "Ron" answered the phone and stated that meal delivery was something that needed to be planned earlier. He ever offered to explain what delivery options exist and abruptly hung up after informing me my need to purchase this food is "my problem". After feeling discouraged by his condescension and lack of concern, I eventually located a delivery service that will pickup the food. Sadly, my order was cancelled by the restaurant. I don't go to this restaurant anymore as I think the food is overpriced and reminiscent of bland hospital food. Huge portions if thats what your looking for, but given the lack of customer service I would spend my money elsewhere! Think about spending your money at Hy-Vee, where there is a helpful smile in every aisle. Or consider spending money at Eileen's Cookies - a wonderful Omaha small business where staff go miles out of their way to PERSONALLY deliver the cookies my convalescing grandparents enjoy! Whatever you do, don't spend your hard earned money at this place. Consider Wal-mart or Hy-Vee. Same quality. Much cheaper. Employees wear masks because they care about you and your health! read more

I used to love Wheatfields. But I believe in voting with my dollar and the owners have a bad reputation. They don't seem convinced that Covid is an issue and that is a slap in the face to me as a healthcare worker who takes care of Covid patients. Keep that in mind. Food is good though. read more

This place is on my list now... After arriving for a 10:30 am Sunday brunch (probably our first mistake) we were first confronted with a 30 minute wait. Meanwhile, I waited in line to get a couple cups of coffee, and was soon thereafter reminded how weak and flavorless the coffee was (clearly I didn't read my last review). But at $2/cup I had to drink several to make myself feel it was at least marginally worthwhile. When we were seated, our server showed up almost immediately. Upon a promise to bring waters for everyone, he quickly vanished for about 10 minutes. I could go on... including plenty of boring details about why I won't go back to Wheatfields (at least this location) again. But I'm in kind of a 'skip to the point' mood today, and that point is this: I'm willing to pay good money for nice restaurant experiences. But with borderline cold food, mediocre quality, and slow service (I ended up helping myself to condiments, napkins, etc from the server booth during long periods of inattention)... Next time I'll just stay home. On that last point, I don't blame our server specifically, as the restaurant was clearly packed full and they seemed to be understaffed. But the reason for the wait became immediately apparent when we sat, and sat, and sat needlessly at our table waiting for our order to be taken, waiting for our food, and waiting for our bill. Several items came out wrong, and the 'food runner' was what I'd call the opposite of polite. Nobody seemed to be enjoying working that morning, and the feeling at our table was pretty mutual. I'm sure there are PLENTY of people who will disagree with me, and I will admit I'm sometimes weird about places like this (where people go just because it's been ingrained in the collective community consciousness that it's good) but I wouldn't recommend Wheatfields to anyone and definitely won't be spending my money here anymore. read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE!! They screwed up an order my wife made and then did nothing to rectify the issue. Owners wife then called her a bad customer. Called the owner, Ron, and he did not care one bit. Terrible customer service, rude, and disrespectful!! read more

I like Wheatfields. Why? Dessert for breakfast!! I got their Berry Creme Brulee waffle -- it's like eating dessert pudding smothered on top of a buttery waffle and a big giant scoop of whipped cream on top. On top of the waffle, is a massive amount of berries and bananas that gives you just enough of a justification that you're not completely clogging your arteries. I didn't work out the courage to order it, but if I come here again, I would love to order RuthAnn's Potato Chips & Chocolate with Marshmallows. Even if I ordered 10 fruit plates, I don't think I can work out any amount of delusion to justify eating it. read more

Elaborating on Kerry's review, Wheatfields was Ron Popp's third restaurant experiment after Garden Cafe and the Farmhouse. Having seen the evolution of Farmhouse and Wheatfields, it seems to go something like this: Hey, I learned a new cuisine! Let's make a restaurant for it. Oh... but let's still have an abundance of sweets cuz that's awesome. How about greasy spoon specials? And by specials, I mean an entire menu of them. Hey, at least one page of the menu is devoted to that new cuisine... The special cuisine at Wheatfields was crepes, and indeed, they did start out pretty rock star. These days they seem to be just average. There are a few things on the menu that are solid, but having gone there this morning for breakfast, I swear they just keep getting greasier and greasier, and they trade quality for abundance. (Don't like that cinnamon roll? Let me double the icing). Plus, as other reviewers have pointed out, the prices seem to keep going up. I was *shocked* at the price of the bill today, $65 for 3 people? Yowza. That's Seattle prices for Pittsburgh diner food. Nuh uh. Bring back the reasonable prices, and this is a 3 star review. As long as you find the right things for your diet, they actually have some great dishes. Plus, I love the lemon bars (nobody does them better), and some of the other bars are great to munch on too. And the hot chocolate!!! I had that this morning. Photo to be uploaded shortly. :) read more

This was probably the worst service I've had in over a decade. It was all bad from the lady seating people, to the waitress, and even the "management". We waited for over an hour for food. Some of the tables around us flipped over twice before we we got food. My mother tried to ask the "manager" for help and he did nothing. Actually, went back and hid in his office. The worst part was at least half our food orders came out incorrect after all of that. Terrible. read more

"Ka'ili, we're going to brunch at Wheatfields tomorrow." I'm thinking, okay, we're going to a place that makes bread. Why are we going someplace that makes bread, for brunch. I mean, Wheatfields certainly sounds like it would just make bread, doesn't it??? Uncharacteristically, I threw caution to the wind and went to brunch without checking the reviews on yelp, YIKES!! Yet, I was delightfully surprised =) It was a busy saturday and there was a line to be seated from the host stand to the bakery (about 15 people were waiting to be seated). We got there about 20 minutes early which was fine because we put our names in and waited for our friend. We got seated on the enclosed patio, small table and we could tell our server was busy busy, but we're easy going and just chatted until we figured out what we were going to eat. The atmosphere is casual & warm. A lot of families and couples seem to come here to eat, must be because everyone will end up finding something they want here, the menu is HUGE! They also serve breakfast ALL DAY LONG! We ordered the 5 mini sticky sampler as a starter. They're basically cinnamon rolls with different sticky toppings, pecan, maple, whipped frosting, and orange. So yummy, sticky, and SWEET. Dessert for breakfast, I'm down =) Next up, I ordered the Big Fat Greek Scramble: scrambled eggs with Prosciutto ham, green onions, roasted red peppers, and potatoes, with feta cheese and olive oil. It has now made my top five of my favorite breakfasts of all time! I also ordered the Hot chocolate, which they claim is the creamiest hot chocolate ever. And boy was it creamy! I believe they put caramel in it too =) topped off my breakfast perfectly. My sis ordered the corned beef hash with eggs and our friend ordered the quiche. Like girls do best, we stayed for two hours and watched the table next to us be turned over twice, but we enjoyed ourselves very much and our server was spot on and friendly. *Next time I wanna try their crepes! read more

Wrote this place off ages ago but reluctantly went today to appease friends. The restaurant was half-empty at 10:30 on a Sunday morning. Uh-oh. The owner, the dour Ron Popp, was in his usual spot in the bakery behind a counter. His wife was roaming the dining room, also looking unhappy and, weirdly, not helping some wait staff who were clearly struggling. I got a $12.99 scramble which was ho-hum. Toast, a muffin, potatoes or fruit was available at an additional cost. Umm...no thanks. A friend's strata was under-cooked and inedible. Other friends said their orders were cold and/or marginal at best. The bakery area was a bright spot. Lots of pretty selections. The Popps seem annoyed, bored, indifferent and distant. I am all about supporting local businesses, but there are many better restaurants and kinder spaces in Omaha. read more

I was a little shocked at ordering two eggs and breakfast meet this morning and finding out that toast is now in à la carte item. Sticker price shock to say the least, guess it's time to break out the old school cookbooks and buy some eggs. Thanks as always for the impeccable service. Gonna miss this place read more

I get that it is expensive for the reason that the owner wants to preserve his margins and the quantity and quality of the food, but it seems to have gotten out of hand lately. He doesn't want to repeat the mistakes made when he sold Garden Cafe to the VC firm. Tiny portions and high prices lead to failure. What I really object to is how loud the place is. There is no soundproofing between the kitchen and dining room. That means the people close to the kitchen practically need to scream at each other in order to be heard. That then cascades throughout the restaurant. Ron, you need to fix this. read more

Strawberry Wedding Cake! We ordered ahead of time since it was New Year's Eve. They said they had 6" cakes available and would hold one for us. Lucky for us they had an 8" cake available and let us switch. This cake is amazing!! Perfect for any occasion or meal . The location is not bad and there's decent parking. They offer an extremely large menu, a huge bakery variety and also a nicely stocked to-go section with sandwiches and other items. I do miss the fondue- it was the BEST!!! read more

Pros: Lots of items on the menu to choose from. Cons: Lots of items on the menu to choose from. Their menu is like a children's book--simple descriptions and big, colorful pictures of food. Really though, whenever I'm here I spend way too much time trying to find the perfect thing to eat. I've gotten the French dip and the reuben sandwich from the times I've been here and both were A-OK. Nothing too special but there's enough food to put me in that Goldilocks-not-too-much-not-too-little state of fullness. read more

If yelp was food alone, I would give wheatfields a 4/5. Unfortunately this is the 2nd time I have had the same waitress who shouldn't be working there. She is horrible! Over 20 minutes before we got our drinks, messed up our order (after letting us know she would put our order in AFTER she helped a party of 10) and then at the end made sure to let us know the tip amounts are on the receipt. She also was assigned to my private party in the mini party room. We were having a shower and we were done eating and she did not clear any dishes, my mom had to stack them in a pile. Everyone's orders were messed up and she had no idea what the muffins or soups were Of the day. I don't think i'll be back. read more

Picked this restaurant for my birthday dinner and was really excited about it. The positive: my husband had the chicken fried steak and said it was delicious. My daughter had the Reuben and loved it. We each had a piece of strawberry wedding cake, YUMMY! The negative: I tried the french dip and was so disappointed. The au jus had 1/4" of fat floating on top. No way to dip the sandwich without having it just taste like grease. I tried stirring it and quickly dipping but it didn't help. No one asked how our food was or questioned why I had only eaten 3 bites of my sandwich and didn't want to take it home. Next time I will think of somewhere else for dinner or try a different meal. The cake however was perfection! read more

I really enjoy eating breakfast and brunch at Wheatfields. This location is very busy on the weekends, but it is larger than the other two locations and has some nice outdoor seating. They also take call aheads. I have tried several of their specialty pancakes, waffles, and french toasts. I also really enjoy their salads and potato casseroles. On a recent visit I tried one of their specials, the lobster cake benedict. This contained lobster cakes topped with hollandaise on a bed of creme brûlée potatoes. This dish was one of the most decadent and savory dishes I have ever had. I am obsessed with their creme brûlée potatoes and they were made that much better by the lobster cakes and delicious hollandaise sauce. They also have great baked goods. I had a muffin with my meal that was good and I also purchased some awesome cookies for a party later that day. They were buttery, perfectly frosted, and looked beautiful. Their strawberry wedding cake is one of my favorite cakes ever. I would recommend this place for breakfast or brunch or if you want to treat yourself to a baked good or need some for a party. read more

Hello huge portions! So so yummy. I came with some friends and we shared the mini roll plate. Ahh... It was perfect. We all got to try a bite of different rolls of our choosing. (I really likes all the ones with carmel especially the ones with the nuts! Mmmmm!) I ordered an omelet and it was quite large. Fresh fruit was served along side AND a lemon strudel. (I was so full after the fruit and half the omelet that I took the lemon strudel home and gave it to a friend.) This was a great experience. read more
