Visiting Omaha
 

I've got a trip to Omaha coming up, any can't miss places for food/drink?

I wasn't aware when this was planned that it was during the college World Series. Any affect that has on the city that first-timers should know? (my visit has nothing to do with the college World Series)

Since it is the weekend of the CWS, hotels are expensive af. I've got one booked downtown within walking distance of the Holland Center, but would it be worth moving to one near I-680 and 6 Hwy and use Uber to get into the city? Is there anything out there, or is it just generic suburbia?

Why? Are you an anorexic chick or something?

I-680 and hwy 6(known as most in town as Dodge St) has plenty to do out there. There is some great dining out there but if you want to be in the action then downtown is the place to be but it will be crazy as **** down there during the CWS. If you like to party, that is the place to be. And there is some great dining down there as well.

If you have the money and you are out on I680 you could try Flemings. Expensive as **** but delicious. Two people would probably spend no less than $150 for a nice dinner if I recall correctly(just looked it up and most of their steaks are over $45). You wouldn't be too far from Brother Sebastian's either. Another great place but expensive. "Filet Sebastian | 12 oz. | center-cut tenderloin charbroiled and served with sauteed mushrooms and Hollandaise sauce | $41.95" I am getting hard just thinking about it. That steak is the most delicious piece of meat I think I have ever had.

Gotta eat at Block 16 downtown!

Go to the Green Onion. 2 drinks for the price of one!

Never ate anywhere all that nice, but...

The Old Mattress Factory Bar & Grill by the arena was my hangout before hockey... not 'must eat' by any means, but a decent option for drinks, at least.

And for beer...

I will second The Old Matress Factory but when was the last time you have been to Brewburgers? I ate there just in the last couple of months and I thought that place was a ****ing shit hole.

Nice, I wasn't sure if that area is in the sticks and with nothing but an Applebees and a Casey's General Store.


Note to self: check local events before planning a trip.

Hmm, 8-10 years? So yeah, it's been a while. :D


I was coming back to mention PepperJax, but it looks like they've popped up all over KC now... another place that's not all that nice or anything (it's basically the Chipotle of Philly cheese steaks), but one of my favorites for the money.

Well, first off, try to catch a college ws game. The atmosphere is fantastice and tickets aren't real expensive. We went a few years ago, and the downtown scene was great. There is a place with a beer garden on top of the building right by the stadium and it's a good time. Tons of places to eat in that area too.

Maybe the Storm Chasers will be playing a home game around that time. AAA farm team for the Royals. The stadium is way the **** out in South Omaha though. But if you have a car, it's all good.

If you need to grab a fast food meal Runza is the shit.

Are you thinking fine dining or just good places to hit?

Little cheaper places but still delicious -

Dinkers - Burgers

Stellas - Burgers(Best in town if you ask me)

I love the Spicy Chicken Philly at Barrett's Barleycorn. I don't even like Chicken Phillys but theirs is awesome. When you order the Chicken Philly order it spicy and they put a teriyaki sauce on it that isn't that spicy. If you order it extra spicy they will throw jalapenos on it.

None of these are super far from Downtown(Stella's would probably be the farthest 7 or 8 miles but all on the freeway).

If you like good Mexican food look for Abelardo's. There are a few of them around town. The buildings are usually shitty little huts but damn they have some great Mexican food on the cheap(has gotten a little more expensive over the last few years as they figured out they had a gold mine). I would recommend the carne asada tacos or burritos... mmmm delicious and huge.
