    Decent enough place for happy hour. Waitress wasn't the best but I've had worse. The$7 nachos during HH were Delicious. Definitely will give it another try if I'm ever back on Omaha.

    Great place for Covid takeout. Pick some up; drop some off. People here get fired for reporting irresponsible health behavior. Wouldnt be suprised if they've got rats in the kitchen.

    The wrap was excellent! Food came out fast and everything was really good all around. Huge place, seems like it would be pretty hoppin (is that still a phrase?) on a game day. Lots of tv options with different games to watch, and the location is very convenient downtown!

    Was not impressed with this place and will not be back! We ordered BBQ and Parmesan garlic wings and they were cold!! My 6 year old even complained how cold they were in the middle. One plate had dried up ketchup on the bottom of it, that stuck to the plate under that one. The manager refused to right any of their wrong doings.

    We stopped in here to eat & have a couple drinks before a concert at CHI. The food was really good & big portion sizes! Drinks were great as well & our server was lovely! Would definitely go back!

    Got the California wrap. Avocado looked rotten. Bacon was raw! Disgusting! Included photos. The wrap pic with the brown-greenish thing is the rotten avocado. *puke emoji* The server was nice. That was the only positive.

    If I lived in Omaha this would be my go to Sports Bar. They have hundreds of TV's all over every wall and playing any sports event you can think of. Bailey was a great waitress and took awesome care of us! Food is your typical bar food and everything we ordered was spot on. Try the tator tots with the meal or get them as a side because they were incredible.

    WOW...Awesome experience!!! We had a group of 40+. 10 adults 30 kids. During CWS. They opened up an area, kept the beers coming for the adults, got the kids drinks and fed right away. Blown away by the service!!!

    Completely incompetent staff. I came in for a couple beers with friends. My tab should have been approximately $13. The waitress got this wrong 4 times, even after I showed her my empties and explained how they were priced (she randomly put a sprite on my tab and I never got a sprite). Finally she brings out the proper looking ticket after 5 attempts. To my surprise, I check my bank account and it says I was charged $20.71. Not to mention, each time she tried to fix the ticket it was a 10-15 minute wait. I do not advise going here unless you want a headache!!!

    Went there for Thursday lunch which is steak day my third or fourth time here previous times not bad a little slow in my opinion for lunch time. That being said when your having a special patrons expect quicker service. We waited forty minutes, never brought our salads and when the steak showed up it was well done 🤔😂😂😂 I asked for medium rare and lunch most people get 30 minutes and the place was maybe half full in my opinion not that busy and I'm not going to even get into the service but not even getting your salad brought out come on!!!😠😠😠

    They water down their liquor. Wings were microwaved. Had to send back two drinks and two dozen wings, because they were so disgusting. Our waitress, Savanna, was wonderful, though.

    Visited on a Sunday, so we were surrounded by football fans. It was awesome watching the games on all of the screens. I wish I could say my Fantasy Football Team had as good an experience as we had. The food was excellent, and the prime rib sandwich was very good. Grace, our server, took great care of our party. We'll definitely be back.

    I had the Patty Melt. It was okay, but it tasted over cooked. There was no real flavor to it, and when I say it was overcooked, I mean there were no juices when you bit into it, which I think is why it wasn't very flavorful. Their fried cheese curds were really good, as were their pickle chips and fries. The prices were reasonable. Our waitress was very pleasant; actually, we entered just before noon when it was about empty and spoke with many of the staff and they were ALL very pleasant. The service was good, we were never sitting there waiting for someone to refill a drink or anything like that. The atmosphere was your typical sports bar atmosphere, though very open and comfortable.

    I ordered 12 hot buffalo wings to go. What I opened upon arriving home was 12 dry, unsauced wings. How does the cook forget to dip the wings in the sauce of choice? It's unacceptable.

  • 5/5 Chris D. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of food for what's really a sports bar. I had the Patti melt and added bacon and my wife had a turkey burger. The waitress was working very hard to keep up with the MCWS crowd.

  • 5/5 Tony T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really loved this place! Was right Down town Omaha! Met up a colleague for a business lunch, and had a blast. Food was great, a million TVs with all sports you can imagine, and Bree, thee waitress was very professional!! Right on cue..

  • 1/5 Abraham W. 1 year ago on Google
    I don't know what is going on with these restaurants. They smell funny and the carpet are super dirty. My son ate a mold beef burger past due. I didn't believe it until I tried some. This place should be spotless for tourist.

  • 1/5 Krystal F. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst Experience ever!!! I've gone here another time and it was fine but last night was terrible. I addressed my issues like our drink which we ordered a double was pretty much like 90%watered down, the wings I got were supposed to be teriyaki but these were super spicy I couldn't even eat them (and I've had these before at DJs ) and the sliders we got were just as bad it had 2 different breads and the patty looked old. I told my waitress about my wings and drinks and she pretty much just shrugged her shoulders , didn't offer another drink or even another choice of wings as I could barely even eat them. And when I left her tip she came up to our table and said rudely "is this mine" I wasn't wanting a full refund but atleast a redemption on all the issues we had. For this being a location downtown next to alot of great restaurants and other sports bar and how close it is to the CHI center you would think the service would just be phenomenal, I've been in the service industry and I just could never provide a service like this especially for the location of the establishment.

  • 1/5 Alicia K. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience today at DJ's Dugout downtown was not very good. The young lady who was working the bar came off to me like she didn't want to be bothered with me. She seemed to me as if she was irritated. She was not friendly towards me at all and I think I was the only person she was serving. I felt totally unwelcomed and unwanted by that particular lady working the bar. I should have got her name but now that is a mute point. I hope the next time I go to that location, that the young lady who waited on me today , I hope she is not there. I understand people have bad days and are not happy and friendly 100% of the time. Whatever the case may be, I hope I never have to deal with her again.

    Nice place to watch football games but seems like they're having some staffing problems. Lots of orders took a long time and then were being sent out by someone other than the server so they were going to wrong tables. Also I wish they had more local beer selections. Like my favorite local kush from keg creek brewery.

  • 5/5 Mallory K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to watch sports! I watched a waitress get yelled at for slow service when only about 3 waiters were in the whole place. She handled it as well as she could. It’s a Saturday and football is on? Of course service is not going to be quick. Really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back! :)

  • 4/5 Michael C. 4 years ago on Google
    Huge space, clean, lots of TVs. Hot beef sandwich was very good, Cobb salad was 1.5 star. Old lettuce.

  • 3/5 Zachary M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's part of downtown Omaha by the stadiums and old market area. It fits in with the environment, sports bar and beer garden. Service was par for the course. A little slow; however, only appeared to be one server. Food was good. It was a Monday so all the burgers were on a discount. That might have factored into the long wait for the food. Overall it wasn't anything outstanding but wasn't something to complain about either.

  • 3/5 Gabriela B. 1 year ago on Google
    We were there for a Creighton watch party, and overall, we had a good time. We can't complain about the food, but I can definitely say that the service was pretty low. Our server did not check on us at all, I literally had to look for her to ask for things, our table never got cleared, to the point that after more than 30 minutes of having empty glasses and plates; I couldn't take it anymore, so I picked up our table and took the dirty glasses and dishes to the bar. The worse part is that since we kept ordering food, they just kept bringing things, but nobody picked up anything so I picked up the table because we literally didn't have space to eat even though we kept stacking dishes/baskets on top of each other to make space. I do know that it was a busy night because there were a lot of people, but I was a server and I bartender for years, and I can just say that it simply was terrible service. I still tipped my server 20% because I know that servers live of their tips, but I can say that she didn't deserve a tip at all.

    Great Sport Bar!! Large TV screens throughout the bar, showing multiple Sport games. Food was good. Pleasant experience, wait staff friendly and accommodating. Will visit again, when in Omaha. Denver CO

  • 5/5 Megan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Our family stopped in for dinner tonight after a fun evening playing at the Leahy Mall. Eric was our server, and he was absolutely fantastic. He was friendly, fast, and really went above and beyond with our kiddos. He was wonderful!! Thanks, Eric!

  • 4/5 J R. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere is perfect for sports lovers and those just wanting to hang out and converse. My waiter was beyond amazing she had an amazing!!! She paid a lot of attention to every detail of the order and had tons of patience, and she had a great sense of humor. She definitely made my experience worth going back. The food, on the other hand,was great as well! Those wings were perfect and not too hard, not too soft. The texture and flavor is just right.

  • 5/5 nick m. 11 months ago on Google
    Great chicken and great people working here. The interior space is huge and it's decor is top notch. Come watch a game or talk with friends, there's no wrong way to spend a night at the downtown DJ's.

  • 4/5 Joshua G. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice little sports bar. Food was great and plentiful. Was extremely busy, but we were able to get a table pretty quickly. Service was a bit slow due to how busy, but it wasn't bad. Bloody Mary with the pickle vodka was the BEST. Highly recommend if you like Bloody Marys.

  • 4/5 Kenneth W. 11 months ago on Google
    Good food and quick service. The menu does not have anything unique or extraordinary, but the chicken wrap and tots were a good option. They have a number of beer specials and you can watch almost any sport there is. Good for a group of you are looking for a typical sports bar to gather at for a social event.

  • 5/5 Lils 9 months ago on Google
    I've been here twice. Drinks were great, & the food was good. The nachos were all I ordered (dining alone). I had a bunch left over, so very filling. Definitely will be back!

  • 5/5 Marty H. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice sports bar. Busy night between Chris Stapleton and Tom Kefier in different venues, a block or two apart. Great atmosphere, and a lot of TVs to see any game. I would not call food service quick this night, but a lot going on and the 32 draw made waiting ok. Will be back.

  • 1/5 James H. 7 months ago on Google
    food was average at best. they got order wrong but after waiting 45 minutes to just get the order taken i could care less. never was asked for a refill on drink. food was over priced and will NOT recommend.

  • 4/5 Justin H. 3 years ago on Google
    Good spot for a night cap, food is what you'd expect from a sports bar late at night. Certainly worth going to watch a game at or have a cold beer. Always fun to stop by when I am in town.

  • 1/5 Brandon S. 3 years ago on Google

    the waitress was very nice but definitely was not quick to help us order. in the photo, it may be me but the side of fries seems awfully small for the price of the meal.

    Service was slow, the drink special I had was not good. And the Cheesy Tots with 2 cheeses was clearly an oxymoron. Go to Addy's across the street.

    If I lived in Omaha, I'd love to watch games here! We were visiting from out of town and showed up 5 minutes before the kitchen closed. The person who greeted us kindly informed us of that and asked that we quickly place our order. Our server was awesome!! Highly recommend and will definitely go back!
