    Really great food! Service was so personable. Tyler was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the Brussel sprouts! .......... update........... Unfortunately our experience tonight was bad so I needed downgrade :( we had reservations for the rooftop at 7:30 for our group of 16. We were continously told different stories about how our party was getting pushed back and no one really wanted to help us. After an hour we left and went somewhere else. Very disappointing considering I had given a 5 star rating a couple months ago.

    It was not a great experience. 7of us to Brunch on a Sunday. The person that seated us was great (GM?). When the waitress finally came to our table, the downhill slide began. Our waters came to the table and then nothing. We had to flag the waitress down to order as she was busy in her own world. The music for a brunch was too loud and the thump was terrible...maybe better for a Saturday night at the bar. She stayed on one end of the table and we had to yell our orders and have someone tell her what we said...she did not move. She did not know the menu nor could she waitress. Our drinks sat on the bar for about 10 minutes. We asked 3 times to have the channel changed for the live hockey game, one person pretended to try and then gave up. When checking out, she completely charged us wrong even after we walked her through it all. It took 3 people to try to void it out and clean it up. We sat there for over 20 minutes trying to get out of there. The food is the only thing that helped the experience even though the biscuits were very dry. The food is why they have a 1 star review. Very disappointing.

    The place is cool,but the food was basic. We sat on the roof top. You will have to go to the bar to order your food and drink.🙄 If you are here to hangout with a bunch of friends,this is a good place. If you are here for the romantic moment, I will not recommend it here.

    I was recently at 1912 and my food was so fresh and so delicious!! Tyler was our waiter and we had a big group and he handled it perfectly and was so quick and our drinks were always full. Great waiter and great bar with fun music!! Will be recommending often!

    I felt as though my black existence did not matter as soon as I sat down. Unfortunately, as a new resident of Omaha, I won't have the same experience as many other members of the community. My 1912 experience triggered a range of feelings that I am still processing, but it ultimately inspired me to think and act in a way that helped me see myself as a person with a significant duty to mankind to close the divide that past racial trauma has created. I'm glad they weren't closed “on accident” (previously said by bar staff) this past Sunday, of course the rooftop was closed as usual. Both the meal and the service are mediocre. Men are cooking in the back while all women are working the front. A voice that sounded of a women (I would hate to mis-gender staff) answered the phone and gave me incorrect information about the payment situation for the bottom-less mimosas. The manager approached us and made racist comments about this miscommunication. She escalated the situation instead of resolving it. Rude hosts and impatient, aggressive servers. I will do everything in my power to alert my community of the clear contempt I felt toward my life when the employees phoned the police while in possession of our cards and money. It's unsettling, upsetting, and careless of the moral principles that someone in a setting of that prominence should have. My family members and I were advised "not to come back because we probably perform these antics elsewhere" On the walk out after payment , bad speech from staff was direct to us. It was an awful feeling. How can we solve this ?

    Enjoyed drinks and an early dinner on the roof. Sidney was fantastic! The food was also very good. It was perfect weather for sitting outside and watching the people below. Go! You'll have a great time!

    On a Friday or Saturday night, this place is generally the party spot, but earlier than that or on Sundays, it's pretty easy to catch a bite. Every time I have, I've been blown away. Sunday Brunch is awesome. Cheddar biscuits with gravy and hash browns were EXCELLENT. Plus, who can argue with bottomless mimosas?

  • 5/5 Guy B. 4 years ago on Google • 118 reviews
    Fun place. Live music is a great addition. Make sure you check out the rooftop and mimosa flights!

  • 5/5 Molly K. 2 years ago on Google • 105 reviews
    Amazing food, our server was great. Wish we could have had food on the patio, but enjoyed our time indoors as well.

  • 4/5 YingChee A. 5 years ago on Google • 59 reviews
    The beef fries is my choice, their meals are all nice especially the burger. Come with huge varieties of draught beers, is a great place to chill with friends and colleagues.

  • 1/5 Michael C. 4 years ago on Google • 10 reviews
    One of the worst brunch places you can go. The food is obviously cheap, your plate will be dominantly "hash browns" which are baked straight from the frozen bag and over-salted. I had the harvest hash and it was just cubed potatoes and a sliver of spinach and one small dried tomato slice, emberrasing. Everybody else got different dishes and couldn't notice anything special other than the large amount of cheap baked hash browns and cheap biscuits etc... To add insult to injury the place is overpriced. I wouldn't even get mimosas or cocktails there because as you can see they use cheap fake juice concentrates that seperate from the water if you let them sit. Never going back.

    I was only here briefly. It was a very chill spot. The rooftop will be nice in the spring.

  • 4/5 Susana M. 4 years ago on Google
    Sandwiches were good except the housemade fries they were greasy and salty and the server wasn't good at all.

  • 5/5 Anna S. 4 years ago on Google
    My party stopped here for lunch, the food and drinks were great. The menu had many unique options for small plates and entrees. The building was spacious and clean with friendly wait staff. I especially enjoyed the pineapple cider they had on tap and the red onion rings. I would highly recommend stopping by for lunch or a drink.

    This place is a must visit when passing through Omaha Nebraska the food is awesome and the beer selection is second-to-none what a great place

  • 2/5 Sue M. 4 years ago on Google
    Overpriced and service is not good. Food is ok.

  • 4/5 Brandy M. 2 years ago on Google
    After a terrible experience with the cook and bartender at Benson Brewery, I walked to 1912 Benson in hopes of ordering lunch. Not only were the staff kind and pleasant, the food was delicious! I’m giving four stars because the salad I ordered was very plain and was more lettuce then the tomato and cheese toppings. The salad was quite pricey.

    Awesome spot. Great grubbinsis and brew

    I am beyond baffled and astonished at how sierra staff member was acting tonight . I come here frequently because I work in the benson area . She stood guard at the bottom of the stairs to make sure people wasn’t “bringing food up stairs on a Saturday night” but it seem to me that she allowed only older white woman to come up and eat . She was very rude and not professional at all . The bartenders apologize for her behavior multi times . I really don’t appreciate how me and my family was treated being that we spend a lot of money here and come very often . I would like for someone to reach out about the incident

  • 1/5 Juan P. 1 year ago on Google
    First time going , waited literally no joke 1hr or more to find out my order hasn’t even been submitted. Drinks were free but all we had was water . Now I have to go to my appointment with out being able to have time to eat 🤣.

  • 1/5 Michelle M. 1 year ago on Google
    First time to 1912. Attempted to sit on the rooftop and were told there was a private party, so sit at the back. Clearly NOT a private party, but we were a family and didn’t want to wait on a family so ok. We went downstairs. Waitress was incredibly rude: rolled her eyes multiple times, noted the dirty table and didn’t clean it. Scolded us for coming from the rooftop to a table downstairs and not checking in at the front. We left.

  • 2/5 Gabriel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Maybe a couple dollars too pricy for the value... 1. it's too loud for brunch. The juke box is a bit overbearing. Go early if you want the chance for a calmer meal. I mean it is a bar after all. It would be nice to have rooftop for a less noisy option. with the willingness of customers going up and down stairs to order. That's fine by me. Hopefully with a water pitcher on table. 2. Just really not feeling the fries, but the TRIANGLE HASHBROWNS are the BEST 3. Anything that is "meat" on the menu is deliciously cooked. Although the bun had seemed like too much. . * Waitresses are great at their jobs! * If the fries are good, ketchup is not needed... and I needed ketchup... * Atmosphere is important to my decision making. Has a clean and awesome interior design to it. It's just that the music was too much for me before noon. And people are so loud in there.... So again, rooftop would be nice for people who want a quieter meal. .

    We started our night on the rooftop, which was great. The downstairs service was very poor. Our food came out incorrect, but was made right by one of the servers. The servers seemed more interested in taking shot after shot with other patrons at the bar than serving us.

  • 3/5 James G. 1 year ago on Google
    Still pretty good place for brunch activities, but noticed that they seem to be using ground beef in their “sausage” gravy now. It’s not a big deal, but this place used to be the spot for this dish, now it’s just kinda bland beef gravy and biscuits. Just like mom used to make!

  • 5/5 Jon O. 3 years ago on Google
    Reduced covid menu, but excellent as always

  • 4/5 Stefanie M. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place with a cool roof deck area to eat and drink. The staff was nice and the food was very good, I just wish there were more options on the menu besides a burger or a chicken sandwich. I would think of it more as a bar with some food than a restaurant, but I'd definitely go back.

  • 1/5 Jalaine l. 3 years ago on Google
    Normally pretty decent. Too many patrons were too drunk on the roof top, and wouldn't stay out of people's face! Saturday! The bartenders were AWESOME! They were telling a certain group of girls that kept congregating at and in front of the bar to move politely

  • 5/5 Trese R. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice Sunday brunch at a reasonable price, good vibes, great music!!

  • 1/5 Debbie E. 3 years ago on Google
    HAHAHA I’ve never given such a quick one-star review. I just called in and guy who answered the phone just said, “1912” in the most bored tone. How about a “hello”? Would that pain you too much?

  • 5/5 Zeke 3 years ago on Google
    Mimosas were great and I’m all about the 1912 burger. 10/10 would recommend

    AMAZING brunch

  • 4/5 Kephanie M. 3 years ago on Google
    Busy, no seating and had to leave due to Covid19 and not being able to stand. Very friendly staff. Wish we could have enjoyed the rooftop bar longer. In from out of town, this was a recommendation by our Uber driver.

  • 5/5 Crystal L. 3 years ago on Google
    Still have a very limited menu. The roof was closed (not sure why??). The cauliflower wings were great!

  • 5/5 1 1. 4 years ago on Google
    Downtown vibe in Benson 👍🏽

  • 5/5 Rich B. 4 years ago on Google
    Been to 1912 several times. I’ve always had a good experience. Posting because you guys killed it with the Mardi Gras brunch. We had to wait an hour for our food but no worries, you guys killed it with the environment, hospitality, DJ, and keep the mimosas flowing. Oh and the food was amazing 💯
