    We stopped in for lunch yesterday and Cassandra H. was a fabulous waitress. Checked in often but not too much. She answered all of our questions and gave great suggestions. My husband works in the service industry and mentioned a few times how great she was with our table as well. The hot nashville sandwich was delicious. Little heavy on the cajun seasoning for my fries but they were still good and I'll chalk that up to personal preference. Great IPA selection to choose from. All around a great experience. Please forward on the great service message to your waitress, she deserves some recognition!! 🍻

    I waited a lifetime for a Burger this amazing!! It’s was a jalapeño popper burger with a meat heavy chicken and rice soup. Our server was chill and genuinely friendly. The cheese curds sealed the deal. I don’t know the next time that I will visit Omaha, Nebraska…. But I know I will come back here if I can!!

    I got to town late and needed something to eat and this place was close to my hotel. It was very good and the bartender suggested the 3150 burger it was great and so was the pepper jack Mac. Definitely would go again

    Wait staff are super attentive and the burger creations outstanding and you can swap out the beef for bison or turkey. Who doesn't love a green chili Mac and cheese burger. The fried pickles are divine.

    First time here, and our experience was very good. Dawson was our server,very efficient, our food came out really fast, warm and just the way it was described in the menu. I recommend this place 100 per cent. Let me tell you, we order an IPA beer and it was delicious, please try it next time you’re here. Thank you !!!

    We came here for the first time and overall experience and vibe was great. They had $0.75 wing Wednesday which was great, highly recommend their buffalo flavor wings with ranch. The salad was ok, and the burgers were really good, but the fries were too salty. Super friendly staff, but when it gets busy they can be a bit slow.

    Everything on the menu is super sweet. I ordered a liter of River Water. OMG. The thing was so sweet I had to send it back. It came back after being cut with soda water and was still sweet for no reason. I mean....diabetic coma sweet. My husband ordered some chili....it was a bowl of sweet beans and meat.🥣 Had to send that back. Inedible. Ordered some wings....Honey Habanero on the side. Thank goodness we ordered it on the side. Honey isn't even as sweet as this stuff.🍯 The wings weren't very good either. The best thing we had was my husband's Bloody Mary that came with a little Burger Slider, a chunk of cheddar cheese and all of the rest of the fixings. If you like sweet eats...cool. But not quite my type of flavor profile. Sorry. 😔😖

    Right off the bat, I'm very excited about this place. We get to our seat and they have hooks on every booth!! Why is this not standard in the restaurant industry!?! I ordered their house mixed Cherry Limeade beverage, I'd go back just for that! Very refreshing, delicious, but be careful you 100% can't taste the alcohol, but it's there! Ordered the Wisconsin cheese curds to start. I've only had breaded cheese curds, these were battered so very different! Husband got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and salad. I'm picky so I went with the standard cheeseburger. Both were fantastic and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back to try different items and brews!

    After searching for over an hour of new places to eat I settled on Omaha Tap House. I’ll start with the good. Hostess greeted and seated promptly. The appetizer of Nebraska cheese curds was delicious and the in-house made ranch was excellent, the big-o-Mary was properly made. The bad, the honey barbecue chicken wings relied on sauce alone for flavor, the chicken was bland. The burger had no seasoning in the beef, the onions were mush, the bacon soft, and the smoky sauce was just out of place. It takes a lot for me to leave food behind, but after eating 1/4 of it, I decided I didn’t need it in my life. The waiter never cleared any finished dishes even though stacked at the edge of the table and even when requesting them taken away, we’re still left. With no room left on the table and still eating, our requested to go container for her meal was attempted to be piled on top of the mess. And for the love of god someone get that man a headband or towel. Sweat pouring off of his face is unattractive when delivering food. Floors were slippery and spills were left with just a wet floor sign. Overall a poor experience coming in at $77 for two I don’t believe I’ll be back for a while.

    We enjoyed a great meal and service. Had the potato soup (highly recommend!) and a salad. Kids had burgers and said they were flavorful and cooked perfectly. They recommended the sweet potato fries and jalapeño fries. The only reason I didn't give this place a 5 was the bathrooms. Honestly, they were the dirtiest bathrooms I've ever been in. While I'm sure customers were at fault here, not having an employee check the restrooms in a nice (and pricey) place like that is a bit of a fail. I should note I went in there when we arrived and my daughter went in about 90 minutes later - she came out and described the same thing. Great place, just pee before you go!! 😉

    The wings were cooked great but the sauce and rub were one-dimensional. The atmosphere leaves a little to be desired but the service was fantastic! We got our food in under 10 minutes and the beers on tap are great! Omahaze is worth a look!

    Freaking amazing burgers!! I had a last-minute craving for burgers on a trip to Omaha and looked up some good places. The menu here was unbelievable so we have to come here. My fiance and I both started off with salads before getting the burgers. I got the house salad but with carrots and onions instead of the cucumber and tomato. Asked for the parmesan and the poppy seed dressing on the side. I was not a fan of the dressing and actually had to take off the dressing after pouring it on and trying a bite. Went to the counter and asked for balsamic dressing and everything was so much better. Fiancé got the apple pecan salad with the blue cheese on the side. The cheese on the side was definitely a good call because they actually gave quite a lot of it! He really liked the salad overall. The apple went well with the dressing and the crunch of the pecans and all of that stuff. Now for the main part.. The burgers! I got the Jalapeno Popper Burger but with fresh jalapenos instead of roasted, and on a Turkey patty instead of beef. What a beautiful burger!! The turkey and cream cheese and fresh jalapenos went so well together. That hot pepper jelly on top just sealed the deal. I love this so much. I could have totally gone for another one! Turkey was perfectly cooked, the patty was not too thick like how most burgers have them and everything was just right. Fiancé got the Berry Hungover, but without the hash browns. He was hesitant to get it with the blueberry bread because it might have been too much berry, but definitely not. Everything went perfectly well together! Perfect balance of sweet and savory and just a good mashup of everything going on. The beef was perfectly cooked as well and a very generous amount of blueberry jalapeño jam on there. Also got steamed broccoli for the side instead of fries. Overall a very good experience and I would 10/10 recommend going here!

    This was both the BEST & WORST experience of my life. Best because the smoked Gouda & bacon melt I had was incredible! The salt/vinegar fries were a pleasant surprise as well! & the staff is awesome, buuuut, from now on NOTHING will ever be good enough. Nothing compares to this place for a bomb burger & if you are willing to risk it all to experience perfection, then this place is your huckleberry. Warning, if you do not live nearby you will crave it & not be able to have it, the joy of other burger joints will be gone & you will eventually regret having left without buying one to go. This begs the question: "Is it better to have had Tap house & lost or to never have had Tap house at all?" 💔

    Food is great, the back can get a little toasty, but not a huge deal. They have some of the best sweet potato fries around, and they coat theirs in brown sugar. Great hangout place, would go again!

  • 4/5 Maurice A. 1 year ago on Google • 53 reviews
    I was in Omaha for NCAA World Series and was looking for a good burger place. Decided to give this place a try after reading reviews. The inside was nice and the fries were good; however I was a little sad on my burger that was $13. This was the Jalapeño Cheddar burger and honestly, I didn't get any taste of jalapeños in it and it was half the size of my friends cheeseburger. I asked waitress about it and she seemed a little unsure too. I’m giving the benefit of doubt that presentation and staff were having an off day.

  • 5/5 Candy B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great soot for a 🍔 and some cheese curds.

  • 5/5 Alayna C. 3 years ago on Google
    The burger I had here in National Cheeseburger Day is honestly one of the best I have ever had. I decided to do the build your own burger option and did with with American Cheese, bacon, fried egg, avocado and beer braised onions. Let me tell you... those beer braised onions were the best thing I have EVER enjoyed on a burger. It surpassed so many of my expectations. I will definitely have to go back to enjoy something like that again soon. The service was fast and the place wasnt too crowded for a Wednesday night, but our server seemed in a hurry and quite scatter brained. We would say 2 words and she would rush off to grab something before we would finish a sentence or ask for a 2nd item.

  • 3/5 Canli M. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a fun restaurant/bar. It has a nice vibe but we didn’t care too much for our burgers and I couldn’t stand my drink. We had the Bleu Cheese Bacon burger and the Hangover burger. They were mediocre at best. The other person in the party liked their Tap House Salad Sweet Potato Fries and Wings. I had the Blue Jay Margarita and it was so bad I only took two sips and refused to have anymore. I was so disappointed. I’m hoping it was just a bad night because the atmosphere inside was pretty cool.

  • 5/5 Mackenzie K. 3 years ago on Google
    Burgers are the best anywhere! Make sure to stop by on Tuesdays for their BOGO burgers.

    What a disappointment on Friday night. We needed a quick bite to eat while we was staying downtown and decided Tap House. We ordered pretzel bites which had a conversation with waiter in how you can't go wrong with them and how good they were as well as 2 salads. He brought salads out rather quickly and he was off busy helping others we had just thought he was going to let us get started with salads then bring pretzel bites but that didnt happen. All the sudden he appears with the check and apologized for not bringing the check over sooner when i said to him i assume you didnt put in our pretzel bite order. He said sorry and he would do that right now but we couldn't wait on that. Wow talk about a huge disappointment when you look forward to something. Oh well be awhile before i go back again

    I ordered the bison burger with a side of Cajun fries and Wisconsin cheese curds. Having been born and raised in Wisconsin, I was very skeptical about the Wisconsin cheese curds. However, I can happily say that these are legit. I highly recommend them!! I also highly recommend the bison burger and the Cajun fries. This was hands down some of the best food I've had in a long time.

  • 3/5 Desiree M. 1 year ago on Google
    Drinks - amazing. Ordered a West O Watermelon. It was super sweet and loved it. Food - flavorful and delicious. Cheese curds were great. Tacos so flavorful. Bathrooms - sketchy. A 2x4 holds up the sink...? Service - not good. Server brought us water and took our order. Someone else brought our drinks. Another person brought our apps. And a third brought our food. Hardly saw our server the whole time we were there. Being the food is super good definitely would give them another chance if/when in town.

  • 5/5 James M. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped for the first time while visiting Omaha. Late Tuesday afternoon. We had great service with Jaycee. Drinks were good, fair style cheese curds were light and crispy, just right. We had mango habanero wings and the bourbon wings. Both really good, probably 60/40 the bourbon ones for personal taste. Definitely enjoyed our visit. Would definitely recommend also had a great happy hour

  • 3/5 Jennifer P. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute little brewery. We seemed to have a new waitress. So some glitches in service/order. But bartender made it right. Only other thing I would comment in is the sweetness of EVERYTHING I ate In there. Seemed weird. Would try again to see if this was just my taste buds. Had the brussel sprouts (the only thing not sweet) and sooooo yummy. Cheese curds ...s o big! Entree were what you would have expected.

  • 5/5 Matthew C. 10 months ago on Google
    Ok. I adore burgers. Wholly. And this place might have the best burgers IVE EVER HAD. The flavor combos are unique, the layering of flavors perfect. Again, I've had more burgers than I can count and these are the best. Yes. That good.

  • 5/5 Travis g. 10 months ago on Google
    What an outstanding place! Best place to grab a burger and beer in Omaha hands down! I had a mosaic IPA which went down smooth and was extremely tasty. The burger was the star of the show however. I had the berry hungover burger which was like nothing I've ever had before and was every bit of the word delicious. The fries are incredible with their ranch. My fiance had the Bleu cheese burger which was also outstanding. Can't go wrong with anything here. Our bartender Johnny was also fantastic and very helpful and friendly. If you're in Omaha you CANNOT miss this place. All the recommendations 🤘

  • 5/5 Tom L. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing burgers, cheese curds, fries, and beer. Honestly everything was top notch! Definitely coming back to this place whenever I can. 😁

  • 5/5 Emily G. 1 year ago on Google
    The Wisconsin cheese curds are you to die for! If you come and don't get any, it was a wasted trip! The pretzel bites taste very yummy with the pepper jack cheese sauce but the pretzels themselves were a little chewy. We got the 3150 burger with fries. Their fries are pretty tasty and the burger hit the spot! If you like a peanut butter and jelly burger, this is a good one! I got a strawberry banana colada and it was soooooo good, not very strong though. The prices aren't too bad considering the unique menu options and the staff is very friendly. I 100% recommend!!

  • 1/5 JF N. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered on Uber eats twice in 10 days. Missing fries today on 2 orders. Inconsistency on this staff. Will dine in only in the future. I called staff and there was only an mild offer to fix this by having me reorder fries only on the Uber app. I run a business and I would be out of business if I didn’t operate efficiently on a revenue stream like delivery.

  • 5/5 Nicole M. 6 months ago on Google
    Friend and I went and got bison burgers, her with ranch fries and myself fried pickles with river water and i got a mocha tini, everything was amazing and it came very fast, service was great. Would go back for sure.

  • 4/5 Roxanne A. 10 months ago on Google
    Food is really good, service was good but a long wait and a lot of people milling around not working during happy hour not working. Our server was excellent, just the host station was poorly run. Recommend the cheese curds, burgers and the raspberry slush. One thing that is weird is all the paper menus for drinks.

  • 5/5 tamara b. 3 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Trisha L. 3 years ago on Google
    My waiter was so eager to get us out of the restaurant for no apparent reason. We thought it might’ve been close to closing time ... but it was 3 hours before the restaurant closed and she was so annoying. The food was alright. Don’t know if we’ll be back or not.

  • 5/5 Celeste 3 years ago on Google
    I had a delicious meal and good service as I traveled through Omaha. I ordered the turkey burger. It was flavorful and not dry like I worry with turkey. They need less mayo on it, though. I ordered jalapenos with it and better yet they're fresh and it really made the sandwich. I had the Infusionfest with it. I was there at an odd time of day and my fries were fresh which was appreciated. I sat at the bar. Tables were social distanced, staff wore masks, food was served with pandemic safety in mind. Parking is metered, street parking. Entrance and restrooms are semi-accessible.

  • 3/5 Jess F. 3 years ago on Google
    A decent burger and fries. I appreciated their options for toppings and the creative combinations, however the descriptions were a bit more exciting than the end result to me. The gluten free buns are good. We also got it take out so that might’ve had a part to play.

  • 5/5 Gabrielle H. 3 years ago on Google
    We stopped in from out of state with some friends - wings were great and made to order as I prefer mine crispy. We sat at the bar and service was excellent! Casey was very friendly and had recommendations for other places to check out while in town. Would recommend stopping in!

    Visiting from out of town, qantes a good burger and the Tap House was recommended. HOLY COW! I ordered the jalapeño popper burger and a margarita. AMAZING! If I ever come back to Omaha the Tap House will definitely be on my list of places to eat!

  • 1/5 Sierra W. 3 years ago on Google
    The Tap House out west is way better. This one rushed the food and it was sloppy. There was no other customers for them to have had rushed the food. The employees were not as inviting as the one out west. I will most likely not go to this again. And I recommend everyone to take the time and go to the better one out west.
