If you ever in Nebraska WheatFields bakery is a must be a place to visit they have some of the best desserts there I have ever had and I don't say that lightly the breakfast is the bomb and I live in North Carolina where you can get some really good biscuits and gravy but they have a daddy's biscuits and gravy which is off the chain the service was excellent we were seated very quickly their hospitality is excellent and the sweets are even better the coffee is okay since I am not a specialty man but all in all when I'm back in Nebraska I will be there to eat again and again and again read more

This place in the PAST was amazing!! So incredibly disappointing now!! I'm truly saddened to see such an Omaha staple turn into a fast "turn and burn" gas station where they want to just corral their customers not even really caring about their experience. Also to mention they have become really strict with their menu, and if you have an allergy to certain foods (like pork) forget ordering anything savory. Even though they've restricted what you could order during their weekends it didn't really save them much time in getting our food out. We would bring anyone visiting Omaha to this once great family restaurant, but now unfortunately we will take our business elsewhere. read more

Worst place I've been to. Would never go there again. Save your money and spend at a place with a better service and food.

I've only been here a few times but love their potato soup and they have amazing desserts! All of the staff are super helpful and knowledgeable when asking questions and always happy to help. My dogs love their cheese bone snacks! read more

Ehhh. That's my mood when thinking about this place. It's okay, I don't understand why it's always busy. The food, and service has always been just okay, or below average. This last time I went, you could hear one of the waitresses in the kitchen talking really loud about how she doesn't like one of the tables she's serving. The food just doesn't taste special to me. I have tried the chicken, hamburgers, the buffalo chicken casserole. I think that is could be better for the price. read more

My wife and I enjoyed eating here around 9:00 on a Saturday morning. It wasn't crowed and we got right in. Our food was prepared fairly fast, which I wasn't really expecting from the reviews of others. We both enjoyed our food a great deal and would definitely return. We also had Lattes, which were also very good. I would have given the place 5 stars except for the cook behind the line eating while he was cooking and wiping his nose on his arms. Let's face it, this is something that happens everywhere, but most kitchens are hidden from public view. The business is quaint, but because it needs a little updating, one might be tempted to say it was on the dirty side. I wouldn't say it was dirty; in fact, the help kept the table clean and dishes cleared and everything else seemed to be clean. If you're in Downtown Omaha Old Market district or perhaps want a cute little dinner for a change, I'd recommend this place. Expect it to be packed all day when this Covid thing clears up! read more

My husband and I have always enjoyed the Wheatfields location downtown in Old Market. The service and food were always very good. Today, we went to the West Omaha location and had an awful experience. We were seated and ignored by two servers for quite awhile. I'm patient but it gets old waiting for someone to acknowledge you, at the least.The server gave us the impression she didn't know that she was our server. What?? She was serving tables in our section. We finally ordered and waited for our food for over an hour. A couple next to us finally had to leave with their food boxed at the counter because they couldn't wait any longer. When the food arrived, it was not as expected. The avocado toast should have been described as guacamole toast and it was not good. I'm not sure if this experience is the exception to the rule, but I won't be coming again to find out. read more

this is the list of what i've had over the years tiramisu - perfect every single time they never get this wrong it tastes exactly like authentic tiramisu for a great price strawberry wedding cake- it's always yummy and perfect zebra brownie (cheesecake brownie) it's really good but sometimes the cheesecake lacks flavor my boyfriend loves the tres leches he says it's "pretty good" i think the same but then again i have only had the wheatfields cake bread pudding- i've had both the original and the caramel and both are good cold if you're into that and even better in the microwave for 15 seconds with the cream they give you angel food cake bread- it was really good it was the saint patrick's day loaf that i got on sale so i'm assuming it was an older loaf but it was good nonetheless read more

Server Aleah doesn't wear a mask!!!! Says she has medical exception but doctors don't write notes saying someone can't wear a mask!!! This is coming from health department too completely gross! If she can't wear a mask she needs to work in the back!!!! read more

Absolutely terrible. I had the Düsseldorf Casserole for breakfast with an over easy egg. It was disgusting. The over easy egg looked as if it had sit underneath a warmer for 20 minutes and the yolk was congealed. It was the most pathetic egg I have ever been served in my life (and it cost $1.50 to add the egg to a breakfast dish!). The potatoes, sausage, and bacon in the casserole were mediocre at best. Other members of my party had the French toast and avocado toast. The French toast was lackluster. There was barely any spice to give it flavor. The avocado toast was topped with the same pathetic "over easy egg". It was assembled with little care. Service was sub-par. Coffee was a very poor attempt for a breakfast joint. Needless to say I will never return! I suggest Yelpers who read this review (and the numerous other one star reviews of this place) heed the warning and go somewhere else! Save your money! read more

The restaurant was very dirty Huge menu but had to ask about appetizers Need a tea menu small sandwiches cheese plate etc.,,, wine specials Happy hour They were cleaning with handheld vacuum throughout lunch very disruptive not to mention kind of gross Painting need to be wiped down food and gunk all over them / yucky read more

I had breakfast at Wheatfields yesterday with 3 others. My sister requested toast instead of a cinnamon roll and was told no substitutions. She then requested the cinnamon roll come out in a to-go box since she wasn't going to eat it with breakfast. The waitress brought the cinnamon roll out on a plate and told my sister to eat a couple bites, then she'd bring a to-go box. I asked for the lobster benedict, with no bacon, and was again told, no changes. My other sister requested additional gravy for her biscuits and gravy and we were charged an extra .50 for that. We feel like our requests were burdensome and our business not appreciated. My family and I love Wheatfields, but this was not an awesome experience. Not sure if we'll be going back. read more

I am shocked at the amount of people that liked this place. This place is all about volume and not at all about quality or service. I ordered a common roll. It was dark brown- way over done, and piled on with icing. It was hard on the edges from over microwaving. It was HUGE and tasted terrible. 4 people in my party all had one bite and were done. Volume is different that good. I can buy 14 boxes of Little Debbie snack cakes but it doesn't make them good. Food- over priced Very hit-or-miss on quality Prices- terrible Service- the worst in Omaha - tons of staff - I have no idea what they did Dirty, loud, dated, and I am done with ever coming back. With all the good places to eat in Omaha - I can not understand why this place is busy. I hate it there. I'd rather have a pop tart at home. read more

I have only been to Wheatfields once before at the Papillion location. I was super excited to go back to Wheatfields, even if it was another location. They have a wide varity of desserts. I was overwhelmed and so excited to choose a dessert! It literally took me 30minutes to finally decide on one dessert. Also, on Mondays the desserts are on sale because they are trying to get rid of the extra/overflow of desserts they baked on the weekend. I decided to order the peach cobbler bars. I was so sad when I saw mold on top of my peach cobbler bar when served it. I sat there and waited for the waitress to come back. The waitress came and said, "it's not my fault mold is on there". But it was her fault for not seeing it and serving it to me. She took off the dessert from my bill and asked if I wanted another. I said no in fear of being served more moldy desserts. Overall, the Waitress was very friendly, but we arrived at 5:30 and didn't get our check until 7:30pm. read more

We saw on the web page that they were open until 3:00 We went there at 1:00. There were many people eating. There was a hand written sign that said they close at 1:10 We asked if we could order lunch to go and they said yes. We asked if we could sit at a table and eat with the other patrons after we order our Togo meal. They refused our request. Very frustrating. read more

Our last lunch in Omaha and we were whisked away here as we were told this is THE restaurant we need to try before we leave. We were kind of scared. I was traveling with 6 others in my company and we are all from Southern California, so we were freaks in our own way. : ) But this is THE place if you want the sweetest fried chicken with honey, mashed potatoes so creamy you sure there is 1 stick of butter per serving with a chicken gravy, a fried pork chop sandwich (yes - doesn't that sound crazy) or a hamburger steak burger or a pastrami sandwich with so much cheese that it looked like the kraut. Wow. And they take us here before we get to the airport. Oh my freaking god. I ordered the fried chicken and my meal even came with a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie. Yes. Pie included in my meal. How fat kid is that? All this for $9.99. The Southern California equivalent of this place would have been Hof's Hut. But Hof's on crack. It was pie slices as big as my head, some sort of sugery white cake that they called an italian wedding cake? with giant strawberries.... Thank goodness I paid the $10 to workout this morning at the hotel! read more

Oh my flaming diarrhea! My body has never rejected a meal so violently ever in my life! Wheatfields was recommended to us by a friend who had never been but said "everyone seems to like it there." We gave it a shot. We laughed about how the interior seemed like my grandma's house...with booths. The menu is ridiculous! There is WAY too many options on the menu, plus a menu of specials, plus some other extra page of stuff and all of them were littered with typos. Our table was covered in menus! It took us a long time to order since there was so much to read. Crepes, meatloaf, knockwurst, lasagna, and salads. You tell me where the theme of the restaurant is. In the end we decided to try on of the fondues. Please...listen to me...DO NOT GET THE FONDUE. Beef, chicken, shrimp, bread, and veggies. Sounds good right? I thought so. The fondue was pretty much cheese dip in a glass bowl with a votive candle. A votive candle? Yeah. Whatever...it was okay. Directly following the meal my stomach was all "whoah...that was a lot of grease and cream." I went back to my hotel and didn't eat anything else and only had water. My stomach started really hurting. So did my wife's. Then the fun began. Approximately 6 hours after finishing our meal we experienced what can only be described as my digestive system saying "get this out of me now!!!" It was awefull. Its still awefull. I ran to the bathroom between the 1st and second paragraph of this review! My wife says she would go back for a salad...I don't know what to think. I was so excited for a fun meal...just wasn't prepared for the repercussions of it. Too much grease? Cheese? Undercooked food? Bad shrimp? Who knows. Either way...something wasn't right. read more

If the food weren't so tasty, Wheatfields would get a one-star review from me, primarily based on the service: slow, inattentive, and filled with mistakes. OK, so it was a Sunday morning, and the place was moderately busy. But there was certainly no shortage of waitstaff, as I saw lots of servers and kitchen folk milling about. Upon arriving, there were several empty dirty tables that could have seated me had they just been bussed and wiped down. The host told me it'd be "just a moment" so they could clean a table. Meanwhile, I watched and waited, and waited... No attention was being paid to the dirty tables. Finally someone came out from the kitchen and did a quick wipe and clear. Even then, it took several more minutes for the host to figure out that's where I should be seated. Finally they brought me to the table, which was only half-wiped (salt and crumbs still strewn about), and had no utensils or napkins, which I had to specifically ask for. And then i waited some more, well over five minutes until I flagged another server down to tell them I'd been sitting here for a while with not so much as my coffee order taken. They finally sent my rather bored-looking server over, and I was able to get my coffee and my order placed. I asked for water, but it never came. Meanwhile, surrounding tables (being served by others) who'd sat down AFTER me were already receiving their orders from the kitchen. Apparently it takes much, much longer to create a simple sausage/egg/potato wrap than it does to create quiches, omelets, and eggs benedict, which is what persons at the surrounding tables had already ordered and been served. During my wait, I asked a second time for water, and finally a glass came. Finally, my wrap came, along with the side of sourdough toast that I'd ordered. You'd think he would have noticed that he was serving me a plate of dry toast, but apparently not, as I had to quickly flag him down to bring me butter and jam. And then I remembered that the menu stated I'd be served baked apples as a side dish. Yet again, I had to flag my waiter friend down to ask for a missing item. Finally, as my wrap was nearly all eaten, my baked apples came. OK, so the wrap was quite tasty, and that's what prompts me to add a second star to my review. It was an egg/sausage/bacon/cheese scramble that also had buttery mashed potatoes slathered inside the wrap, which bound everything together and made the whole thing soft and delicious. The baked apples were pretty good, but the sourdough toast left a lot to be desired. it was rather thin and over-toasted... no softness left whatsoever. The couples that had sat and ordered after me were already paid and gone by the point I got the server to bring me my check. I debated whether to approach the manager about my checklist of things that went wrong, but I just didn't have the energy. To recap: -Took to long to clean a table for me. -Took too long to get any attention once seated. -My food order took much, much longer than the orders around me. -Had to ask twice for water. -Toast was served dry, had to ask for butter/jam. -Server forgot the included side order of baked apples. The takeaway: Put creamy mashed potatoes on your breakfast wrap. As for Wheatfields, you're taking a chance on the kind of service you're going to get. read more

Went to Wheatfields today for lunch with the wife and kids. Everything was as expected for the food. Good food, not exceptional. Here was the issue. The service was good. Our waitress seemed to know the food and the menu pretty well. We have a one year old and a four year old. Typically we order from the kids menu for the four year old and just a la carte for the one year old. The waitress indicated that this was a good idea from a price standpoint. We ordered one pancake and two sausage patties for the one year old. When the bill came, the ONE pancake was $4.00 and the two sausage patties were $4.00. Effectively making our lunch for the little one EIGHT FREAKING DOLLARS plus tax. Man, my lunch was only $10.00. I mentioned something to the manager and he acted like this was the norm and that he had heard about this from other customers in the past. Christ, know your menu. If a locally owned restaurant wants to keep customers coming back, this should not be typical. We might go back to Wheatfields but certainly not with the kids. read more

It's tough to imagine an afternoon in which you set out to find some pie, eat it, and have that experience be the low light of your afternoon! In a country in which an object's American character is judged in comparison to apple pie, how can such a quest for such a delicious dessert go so wrong? Here's how. This lovely Sunday afternoon, my wife and I decided to go find some pie. She's team pie, I'm team cake, but I think we can all agree on devouring delicious desserts. We didn't know the good places for pie in the area, but after browsing the Internet for a while and seeing some reviews, Wheatfields looked promising. So we set off with dreams of pies and tarts and crisps dancing in our heads. Upon entering, the lobby looked promising, with breads and cheesecakes and other assorted pastries as far as the eye could see. The hostess quickly took us to our seat, and that's where things took a turn for the worse. We browsed the menu of biblical proportions while noticing that the table was not only greasy, but it had food particles on it as well. Not wanting to judge a joint solely on its first ill impression, we ordered a slice of cherry pie and a bowl of peach crisp and waited in anticipation. The service was prompt, the waitress was friendly, and as we were about to dig into our desserts...strike two. Every piece of silverware was covered in a greasy film, so was my plate, and my wife's fork was just plain filthy. The waitress promptly got her another fork, but the experience was starting to get uncomfortable. The topping of my crisp had been clearly mixed in with the peaches for quite a while so that the "crisp" was actually soggy, while the filling in the cherry pie just looked too shallow. I was hungry so I ate all the crisp, but truth be told, I didn't really care for the taste. The advertising seemed to imply that the peach offerings were seasonal and fresh, but the peaches in the crisp tasted no better than from a can. Add to that some weird flavoring that was in there, and this was not something I'd order again. After finishing up, with the relative filth around, we didn't feel like sticking around. We got our check in a reasonable amount of time, noticed that others had to wait forever or seek someone out in order to get theirs, and we were out of there. It's a shame that my impressions of Wheatfields ended up being negative. As I mentioned before, there were a lot of items on the menu, and I'd like to try a lot of them. But when a place doesn't place a premium on cleanliness, how much can you trust their food? And even assuming you can, why would I want to eat off a filthy table and silverware again? I have heard that there are other Wheatfields in town, and maybe someday I'll give another one a try. As of today, though, I'm just not sure I'll ever be back again. If I do return, it'll likely be for the promise of the food they have to offer, a desperate search for that pie in the sky, or a take out item from their bakery. read more

* UPDATE * The Oktoberfest recipe potato pancakes are back for Wheatfield's "pancake festival" in January. Had them again yesterday, and they were as fabulous as last time. At last the 3-month wait is over! read more

Highly overpriced and not many healthy options on the menu. If you like to carbo load with more sugar and fat than you should eat in a day, this is your place! read more

I love Wheatfields. Huge portions that taste like home cooking. I would have given 4 stars, but they recently fixed their portion sizes on the casseroles. For awhile they served a dink portion in a bowl. Now, I can hardly finish my KC potato casserole. Thanks for adding value back to the meal! I also noticed that they now substitue pot roast for sirloin in the KC casserole. Not sure if it's because it's cheaper, or they just wanted to put their own spin on things. I like it, even if I do prefer sirloin at the end of the day. Love the sticky bun sampler. I also love that I can order a meal off the special sheet and it comes with the sticky bun sampler or a huge cinnamon roll. Larger folk should steer clear of that option. Actually, larger folk shouldn't eat out in general. It's kinda like an alcoholic going to a bar. Anyhow, that's all for now. read more

First and foremost, Monday is "dessert day" which means they sell anything and everything dessert for $2.50. Quite a deal compared to $5.00+ for many of the items. The dessert is hit and miss, though miss is "pretty good" and hit is "incredible. give me more now!" The servers are nice and fairly knowledgeable, and the menu is gigantic. As the other reviewer said, the potato casseroles are right off the old Garden Cafe menu, due to Ron Popp being the owner. Don't waste your visit with a burger or something along those lines, get something different, and you'll be rewarded. The mashed potato wraps are excellent, as are the potato casseroles, quiches, and the salads as well. The swiss hotel salad is a great choice, especially if you get a dinner that has it as a side. The atmosphere is nice, you just feel right at home at Wheatfield's. The sun room in the front is nice but the seating is cramped, the chairs are too big for the tables or something. All in all, I can't imagine that someone would not enjoy a visit here. Make sure to give the whole menu a long look. It's worth the extra time to find a hidden gem you wouldn't be able to get anywhere else! read more

Let's talk about food!! This place has it all. You can go just for breakfast, you can go just for lunch...and you can go definitely for brunch. This place has all types of food, mostly the stick to your ribs yet gourmet. When you walk in, you are first impressed by the bakery and all of its goods. It is really hard to get past all of the cakes, pies and cookies. Once you are seated, you are handed a menu which resembles some instruction booklets for bike assembly. Lots and lots of different kinds of entrees, salads, soups and everything in between. I have had the quiche, salads, and sandwiches here...all are good. My mother loves to just get the soup sampler and a huge piece of sour cream chocolate cake. While it may be the place where many diets go to die....this is a place to save up for...calorie wise. lol read more

Entering though the newly remodeled bakery area is a pleasant first impression. Bakery aromas are very appetizing. I'm a frequent guest, mostly on weekday mornings. Lot's of seating available at that time. I've found Wheatfields to be a very good spot for a working business meeting or small group gathering. I will say that the "sunroom" can be a bit volatile temperature wise as it just has a canvas roof. The central location is a plus. The multi-font menu is enormous. This can leave your guest a little puzzled. That said, Wheatfield's is a pretty traditional place. If you want two eggs, toast and hash browns - there's no need to stress and search for the fancy name on the menu. Just tell the waitress what you want in your own words and they'll take care of it. I've had very good wait service experiences. I typically sit in the same area and have the same waitress. Food quality is OK. Portion sizes are generous. Meets expectations of a traditional breakfast place or a sit down soup and sandwich joint. The bakery can be used to jazz up an otherwise boring - traditional meal. I may be the cinnamon swirl toast's biggest fan! Would be nice if the bottomless cup of coffee were a bolder roast. It's very very light. .............................. to-da-LOO : Men's restroom is a recently remodeled, four holer. Location is private. Always a comfortable temperature and clean. Layout is a little awkward as the non-handicapped stall is very small - takes some serious maneuvering to avoid legs touching the toilet while closing the door. One urinal is very close to the sink but it has a generous privacy shield which is nice. A clean - nice - modern restroom. Fancy soap and the Dyson air-blade are appreciated! I'd use without hesitation. * * * * read more

We went here for breakfast early (9am) on a Sunday morning. Even so, the place was well on it's way to being packed. We sat on the indoor patio. Nice if you like sunlight, but bad if you have back issues or are expecting. The chairs are brutal with no back support at all. The food itself was ok. The cherry struedel was the highlight. The eggs and hash browns were ok, the bacon was sub par. Overall this meal is better had at IHOP, except they don't have the fabulous bakery. The cake we had for my baby shower was made here. The Strawberry Wedding Cake and everyone loved it. I recommend skipping the restaurant and just going straight for the bakery. read more

Man, this place brought back so many fantastic memories! Non-locals may not know that there used to be a fabulous restaurant chain in Omaha called the Garden Cafe. There are still a couple around, but don't go to them. They were bought out by somebody or other and went rapidly downhill. A few years ago, the founder of the Garden Cafe opened Wheatfield's, which shares the virtues of the old Garden Cafe even down to many of the same menu items. Going there for lunch with my mom and baby daughter the other day was like jumping back 15 years to my own childhood. The menu is huge and the food solidly Americana, freshly prepared and generously portioned. The desserts and baked goods are not as good as I remember them, but I think that's because my tastes have matured (and the Chocolate Moose in Plattsmouth has spoiled me for other people's desserts forever). My Kansas City potato casserole (man, I've missed those things, even though I'm not really a big fan these days of steak, cheese, or potatoes) was every bit as good, though, and I'm looking forward to going back for brunch sometime to see if their brunches are as good as they used to be, too. (The Garden Cafe was THE place for breakfast back in the day.) My only real quibble is that the place is perpetually packed and therefore can be quite noisy, but it's a good sort of noise, I guess. Alive. read more

We ordered 2 traditional breakfasts and were generally pretty pleased. I wasn't too excited about the prices we paid but the food was edible, overall it was a pleasant experience. The orange juice wasn't fresh squeezed and the pancakes were fairly bland, however, the mimosas were yummy. We got there on a Friday right before the lunch rush. Right around 11am it started filling up and by the time we left most tables were full. read more

I've come to this restaurant dozens of times over the years. I would always try to stop in when visiting relatives. And now that I've moved back to Omaha, I find myself here with my wife and friends at least once if not twice a month. I've never given a five-star review to a restaurant, so take me seriously when I say if you like great food that tastes homemade and fresh and love a broad menu without spending a fortune, this might be the best place in Omaha to accomplish all those things. It's very casual with low to medium prices, great atmosphere if you want a fairly quiet restaurant experience, but you'll totally fit in as well if you want to bring a lot of people or have several children. If you're a cyclist, a popular Papio-Creek bike trail runs right by this restaurant. So if you want to combine a bike trip with a restaurant or snack stop, this is perfect for that as well. While there lots of excellent things on the menu - including the mashed potato and meatloaf Sunday, I almost always end up buying some version of the Ron's fried chicken with coleslaw and heavenly mashed potatoes. And I'm not kidding when I say heavenly. When the plate arrives, it always has three pieces of fried chicken on the right, and a healthy helping of mashed potatoes on the left with golden gravy that might as well be candy. I stick a forkful in my mouth and literally close my eyes and breath in the moment as I allow all my taste sensations to fully savor and remember this moment in all its glory. IT IS THAT AMAZING! I catch myself reliving those moments and pining for my next trip to Wheatfields at least weekly. One of the great joys of my life is getting to go here often after moving back to Omaha, to re-live that mashed potato moment over and over and over again. That's LIVING! And that's to say nothing of the fried chicken, which moist and not greasy on the outside. They even I think drizzle honey on the outside to make it even more pleasing. And the bird itself is juicy and perfect. I also enjoy the lemonade a ton, but the gravy and fried chicken and freshly squeezed lemonade often served in a tall glass all at once can be almost too sweat. You've been warned, Patrick read more

YUM!!! From the moment I walked inside and tried a small sliver of free sample chocolate chip cookie with marshmallows bar, I knew this place would be good. Went with the extreme French toast with cinnamon and apples and it was a real treat. Outdoor seating is a nice perk. Will definitely eat here or order baked goods here again. read more

Wheatfields Eatery and Bakery - Extreme French toast. Yum! - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Staff was not wearing mask properly when asked the response I received let's say is not appropriate to post. After years of me visiting I have finally had enough of the rude political owners ! read more

I had nothing short of great service here! From the welcoming hostess to our waitress, we were well taken care of. The prices are a bit steep for a brunch spot, but their specials are a good deal! I enjoyed my fried chicken -- nothing special but delicious nonetheless. Their baked items are phenomenal and all very fresh! I also enjoyed my Bloody Mary! I'd definitely return for the food, baked items, and customer service. read more

Well I didn't even get the opportunity to eat. We (a group of mothers) who had a confirmed reservation were told our party was too small. No alternatives were provided and no apparent or respectable apology was provided. In a time when so many businesses are failing due to lack of customers, etc you would think people would appreciate your business. I guess Wheatfields is not one of those places. Shame on you. read more

We were in the Omaha area for a wedding and my nephew said you've got a try wheatfields! So what did I do, I got on yelp to check it out. I read the reviews and I noticed they had eggs Benedict with lobster. We had a party of eight and they got us in right away. The wonderful waitress said the lobster Benedict was only made during the week and that she would talk to the kitchen, and sure enough she made it happen! The food was fantastic the service was excellent, my wife even said she thought it was the best breakfast she's ever had!! Of course it doesn't hurt walking through there bakery and getting all those free smells. Can't recommend this place enough kudos to wheatfields! Just go. read more

4 of us had lunch there today and it was disappointing. I had a Belgium Waffle with 2 pieces of bacon for $10.99, waffle was small and over priced. The gals had the special peach cobbler combo, egg's were nearly uneatable. The fourth had a Strata that was okay, but nothing special. Waiter was funny, but slow and place really wasn't that busy. Will probably not be back anytime soon. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha area. The bakery is fantastic and the menu has a large selection. The potato casseroles are my favorite but breakfast is also good. Service is always top notch. Can get busy and very loud in there but in quieter times it is a perfect spot with large party or small group. Love this place, keep it up! One more thing-portion sizes are large always take something home so that's a plus! read more

HUGE selection. Gigantic menu (every type of sandwich, salad, quiche, omelette, casserole/cassoulet, etc, imaginable). Full bakery/pastry selection. Will write more about entrees when have had the chance to experience more. Highlights of last lunch, though, must not go unmerited: Beautiful and huge fluffy omelette with smoked gouda and asparagus. "Tropical essence" iced tea (our waiter gave us a tip towards the manufacturer--made by Boyd's Coffee distributors, can be purchased in wholesale bulk--comes in loose leaf/petal form [contains marigold and chamomile flowers!!] and can be brewed in-home in large quantities). Cute (aforementioned) waiter--gave us a free packet of the iced tea leaves after my lovely younger sister batted eyelashes at him. [Actually, she didn't even have to blink; he came to our table and stared at her the entire time. Hey, we're not arguing, we got tea, gratis!] But really, REALLY, you only need to know three words when you go to Wheatfields. Ignore your diet, your conscience, your general consciousness, and say these words to the waitress/cashier: Strawberry Wedding Cake. Unbelievably wonderful. Perfectly sweetened creamy "trellis" frosting; obviously contains hefty doses of heavy cream and sugar, but not so whipped as to imitate ReddiWhip or other brackishly-sweet and mouth-coating cream topping. White cake that is moist but not gooey. Beautiful slices of perfectly ripened strawberries. Decadent yet light. Buy a whole one for any celebration you have (or buy it and make it the reason you're celebrating!). **We ordered two dual-layered sheet cakes of Strawb.Wed. for my sister's graduation party and it was the star of the spread--people bypassed mini-quiches and homemade black bean salsa for 2nd and 3rd helping of cake! Excellent, excellent, excellent. Also freezes relatively well, but is never as good as when it's fresh. Purchase with intentions to devour immediately. Strawberry Wedding Cake. Do it. read more

5 Stars for all bakery items. I order cakes and cinnamon rolls from this place exclusively and we've never been disappointed. Quite the opposite in fact: One is usually applauded if you walk into a party with a Wheatfield's cake. 1 Star for everything else there (i.e., food, service (lack thereof), prices, behemoth menu, weak coffee, ambiance, and cleanliness). I don't think I've ever sat at a clean table, and everything seems sticky. The hollandaise sauce is a bland, slimy monstrosity. The scrambles and egg bakes (I forget the official names) are usually cold and one-dimensional. To be fair, every now and then I order something that isn't a colossal disappointment (pancakes, eggs/toast, pot roast, or crepes) and it makes me at least feel a little better about dining here. That being said, the service is always slow, I don't "get" their dining room and sun room layout, and why am I paying this much for coffee??? In the interest of disclosure, we usually eat here when we are picking up an order from the bakery - mostly out of laziness and forgetfulness. Since the opening of ingredient next door, I'll probably be hitting them up for my bakery-pick-up meal. I realize my review is a little disjointed: but that is how Wheatfields makes me feel. All over the place and confused. How can they get some things SO right - in such a way that anchors them in Omaha food fare, yet continue to do some things so epically wrong? read more

Honestly really disappointed with my visit here. I knew I was going to be meeting someone here for brunch so I called ahead to ask if they offered any vegan options or anything that would be easily customizable to be vegan. I was already wary about asking this because I've seen several reviews about the staff/owner being rude when asked about ingredients (which to me seems really sketchy as a side note). Whoever it was that answered the phone really didn't know anything about ingredients and said they have know way of knowing what ingredients are in their bread (this makes literally zero sense to me). She then proceeded to reconnect an avocado toast that had egg and cheese (both of which I can't eat). I don't expect anyone to know off the top of their head what "vegan" is, I do however expect staff and a restaurant to know what ingredients they are serving to customers, vegan or not. In this day and age with so many people being vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, have celiac disease, have any food allergy, keto, etc you alienate a huge amount of people and place a huge amount of risk onto the customer if they have physical reactions to foods. Also as a side note, at the top of their menu it states they don't allow substitutions, which speaks to the clientele it try's to serve, old fashioned. I'm so sorry it's such an inconvenience to a restaurant that I would also like to consume food just like everyone else. Anyway, the only thing I was able to eat from this place was a fruit cup....the fruit cup was SO small and was a whopping $6. I'll never be back here. And I will never recommend it to anyone. For a place that (at least) markets itself as a bakery that's all made in house, they have an astonishing lack of knowledge on how they make their own products. read more
