    I rarely give a restaurant such praise, but this establishment hands down is the best restaurant in Nebraska. I don't say that lightly. The woodsmoked veggies alone blew our absolute minds off. The way they held their crunch, juiciness. It was memorable. The steak with the chimichuri was the star of the show. The focaccia with the ricotta truffle oil was out of this world. What can I say? I'm a sucker for outstanding service and food. The chefs deserve all the praises in the world the unsung heros of the night. Thank you chefs and servers for the memorable night. We will be coming back.

    Really like this place. Found it by accident on my way to airport in a time crunch and they took care of me fast as they promised. Ordered Wedge Salad, Lamb Burger, Iced Tea. Wedge Salad was great. Lamb Burger was really good and made from a lot of Lamb Meat, so if you are sensitive to Lamb taste, this one definitely have it. But the jam and cheese (did not ask but I think it was goat cheese) was a great combination. If anything I would only change the bun to brioche but other than that great sandwich. I have to talk about the Iced Tea, bartender told me it was a local brand and I have to tell you it's one of the best Iced tea I have had, you could taste the flavor of the black tea leaves and it was very refreshing, I think I had like 4 refills on it. Good atmosphere and good food, I hope to get back soon when I am not in time crunch.

    On a work trip, Timber Wood Fire Bistro was close to my hotel and at first glance, appeared to be original and a break from the expected chains...and I was right! The atmosphere is very classic and reminded me of being in Whistler, BC! Super classy without being stuffy. Very clean and fresh with a relaxed, cozy vibe. I had the Meatball and Rigatoni, and I was so very happily suprised! I'm debating I'd this was the very best pasta dish I've had, anywhere! The entire dish is homemade and tasted about as fresh as you can imagine. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the meatballs spectacular and plentiful, and the sauce! The sauce was a breath of fresh air! Spicy and a perfect consistency! Not thin and watery and not thick and pasty. It was excellent! I don't come to Omaha often, but will find an excuse just to come here again!

    After searching for endless hours, I found this spot online. I’ve never heard of it, but the menu seemed appealing. My husband and I went there, eager for some good food. Let’s dig in, shall we? The atmosphere was very appealing, the wood fire aspect is everywhere. It felt cozy. It smelled great. We had reservations and the people we encounter that worked there, were very friendly. I was bummed it didn’t have the typical “free bread” that most places offer, but was happy to have tried the bread from the menu. I could have done without the ricotta spread, I felt it to be too sweet and almost clashing. For the most amazing thing we tried, mussels. Omgosh! Amazing. Every aspect of it. Delicate. Rich broth. It was the best part of the meal. The grilled bread was a perfect dipper for the sauce. I ordered the “Beef Wellington” and it came with a Caesar salad. It was somewhere around $46. I expected it to look like it was a $50 meal. It did not. Take a look at the first picture. . . It was not at all appealing, and just burnt. Burnt all over. The carrots to the Wellington itself. Talk about a disappointment. . . The saving grace was that the filet was tender, but definitely over. To be honest, I was shocked it was allowed to leave the kitchen. In saying that, quality control is extremely lacking. The burnt top interfered with every aspect of the Wellington dish. I just ate the beef. . . Had I known that this is what it would be, I would have not wasted my money. Steer clear of it. And if you order it, hope that they don’t incinerate it. My husband enjoyed his seafood paella. The cocktails were good. Overall, did I feel this was worth the money? No. Would I go back? Probably not.

    Had my first visit at Timber Wood Fire Bistro and it did not disappoint! Located across the street from Westside High School, it has a cozy and homey interior. When you order, they bring over plates with a complimentary cinnamon roll for the table to share - it was a fun surprise & it was delicious! We ordered the breakfast tacos, the lox bagel and the steak and eggs. The breakfast tacos were so juicy and delicious!! The staff was friendly and the overall experience was great!

    Had a great evening!! Sarah was our server and did an amazing job!! I had the Filet and my buddy had the Salmon. Highly recommend. Delicious meal. We had the shrimp, jalapeño bacon skewers and the Milanese meatballs. Everything was amazing.

    I will say our server did a tremendous job. He explained he was busy, but still took the time to give us a rundown of the company, the restaurant, and the food preparation. 5 stars to him. For the food itself, the wings were great. Cooked perfectly, and the molasses BBQ was awesome. The blackened salmon salad was underwhelming. A plate full of lettuce with a piece of over-cookee, under-seasoned salmon. Just wasn't worth it. Presentation on the Mac N Cheese was good, however, as blasphemous as it sounds, there was just too much cheese. A good thick sauce with a light melted topping would have been perfect. The pesto style drizzle on top also added a strange taste I wasn't a huge fan of. I'd like to go back and try their lamb burger at some point, as I've yet to see anything like it in town. So we'll see 🤷

    We have been for dinner but the brunch menu is the best. Great kids menu and options. Solid brunch classics for adults and some unique items. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star spot is the coffee. Higher end coffee would set it off. The Folgers or basic coffee is a hindrance.

    Great atmosphere and service, pretty good food! Prices very reasonable for the dining experience. We dined in for brunch and while impressed with the unique menu, we concluded the food might be a little much for our personal tastes. What I mean by this is that we modified the dishes we ordered because we didn’t love all of the ingredients or we didn’t want everything mixed together. The chicken on our chicken and waffles and chicken biscuit had good flavor, just very salty and the breading was close to being burnt. The inside was still juicy though. The biscuit didn’t have much flavor, so I was thankful they had honey and butter for me to add. The hashbrowns also lacked flavor and could’ve used some of the crisp that the chicken had. Waffle was also very plain and while we weren’t fans of the pomegranate sauce on the waffle, the Hollandaise was delicious! Also, the scrambled eggs were amazing! Our server brought us a cinnamon roll to share and it was pretty good. Probably the best part of the meal. And we were thankful for this freebie since the portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected. Brunch might not be our cup of tea here, but we will for sure come back to try their pizza!

    A nice Saturday evening spent with good food and drinks. The place is at a nice location and is quite big enough. We were greeted nicely gmat the entry. We booked the table for 9pm but reached there by 8:45 but were lucky enough to to get the table. Started with amazing cocktails. The starters were great. Loved the chicken wings and Mediterranean platter. Our server was pretty nice and helped us with the menu. I order the special of the day, halibut (fish) and it was amazing. It was going great with the mashed potatoes. My friends order the pizza and it was great as well. The prices are on the higher side but it is some what worth the food you get. I will definitely visit it next time for the steak.

    Cute little spot in Omaha! They were very accommodating of our large group (9) with just an hour notice. My stepdad really enjoyed his flatbread and overall everything ordered was pretty dang good. However, the real star is the durum focaccia. This is hands down the best bread I've ever had at a restaurant. It comes with housemade ricotta and honey too. I'll be personally disappointed in you if you come here and don't get the focaccia. Seriously. It's that good.

    Food is fantastic. Large portions. Appetizers, meatballs and brussel sprouts were great, warm plate not my jam.

  • 4/5 Skylar H. 3 months ago on Google • 68 reviews New
    3.5/5 not a bad experience but I think I just had higher expectations! We had a reservation made earlier in the week for 7:30 for 2 people. We showed up around 5 minutes early and didn't get seated until 8. The atmosphere was cute-ish. The focaccia was a great app, one of my favorite parts of the experience! Drinks didn't come out until right before the entrees so that was a little disappointing, but not a huge deal. They did taste good! Our waiter was good at giving recommendations and friendly enough. Steak and Frites came out a little over cooked for a medium rare and the poblano chimichurri sauce was not included in the dish. Fries were so good though!

    Very comfortable environment - the smell of wood smoke is amazing and definitely excites your appetite. All of the menu choices appear to be delicious and make it hard to decide! The food is very good - I really enjoyed the wings as an appetizer. Will definitely return and highly recommend!

    Went here for a quick lunch before CWS game and was a bit disappointed. We got a couple of drinks which were bit pricey but good. The let down was the pizza. Customized the pizza for just pepperoni and sausage topping and tho the crust and sauce tasted great, the crust and the toppings never stayed together and separated every time.

    In Omaha on business and read the reviews and decided to try it. We are so glad we made this decision! The food was excellent! We had 2 appetizers that were delicious. I had the lamb special and it was outstanding. My husband has the ribeye and it was cooked to perfection. Our server Samantha (also the bartender) was knowledgeable of the menu and made wonderful recommendations. Hats off to the kitchen staff, every dish was plated beautifully and was fantastic! I would highly recommend this restaurant. Wish I had taken pictures.

    Absolutely love Timber. It may be my favorite restaurant in Omaha, and there’s some competition. The food is always good, and their menu has something for everyone but not too much where you can’t decide. The warm bread with ricotta and honey is an awesome starter, even better if you get French onion soup as well. For dinner you can’t go wrong with a wood fired pizza, steak, or even the lamb burger. And the best, BEST, desert in the Metro is their cherry strudel.

  • 5/5 Jamie J. 6 months ago on Google
    Tried this place because there were good reviews esp for the biscuits and gravy and I am a bit of a snob when it comes to biscuits and gravy. They were absolutely delicious. I didn't care for the hashbrowns they are different just not my cup of tea. But we'll definitely be back to do brunch again because those biscuits and gravy were the best I've had in the area.

  • 4/5 LeClara G. 6 months ago on Google
    The food was truly delicious. However, the ratio of portions to price was way off. I ordered chicken and waffles and received three small pieces of chicken, and a half of a waffle (they really did taste great). While I'm grateful they attempted to help me with moderation and portion control, I wasn't really looking for that. I do recommend, but, just be aware that "waffles" is more of a suggestion than an actuality.

    Awesome service, great pizza. Will definitely go again. Smelt like a bonfire and the food was delicious

  • 4/5 Shamiya M. 1 year ago on Google
    Went in specifically for the Beef Wellington on a Saturday evening for a date with my husband. Starters and drinks were good, the main course was jus okay. Vegetables were burnt to a crisp, potatoes were outrageously salty, Wellington looked like it was falling apart, wine gravy was the best I’ve ever had. Service was impeccable. Would absolutely go back and just not order the Wellington ever again.

    What an awesome Easter Brunch. Full house, but waitress Elisabeth did a great job and kept calm and friendly at all time. Remembered little wishes. Food was really great. I had a vegetarian dish with grilled veggies and Pizza, hubby and son a burger. All was delicious. We will come again 🙂

  • 4/5 Letitia S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious and came out quickly. The service at the chef's table was slow for beverages and there were only 3 of us. Once we moved to the bar we had excellent service from the bartenders. Also, I asked about the cinnamon roll that my sister said would come with our brunch but we were never offered. The roll had been warmed to long and was chewy and inedible. I would return to give another try because the food was delicious and the price on the bottomless is fabulous.

    Seems like a not so hidden gem of Omaha. Timber was very accommodating to our 9 person group with a baby. They opened up a whole new room for us. Service was fast, polite, accurate. Coffee was definitely better than a lot of other brunch places. Great atmosphere too. The wood piles gave a nice cozy feel despite an open floor plan. The smell of the wood burning stove was great too. overall I would certainly come back here if given the chance. I got the Tinga and chicken tostada

    Highly recommend for brunch! The wings were fantastic for an appetizer! I got the crispy chicken it was very good! The sandwich was huge!

  • 5/5 steadicam01 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I am not just giving 5 stars to every category because the food was good; literally everything was amazing, even the bathrooms. Scratch-made food with locally sourced ingredients, the flavors were beyond my expectations. A romantic and inviting atmosphere with innovative lighting and great music. The manager made an effort to stop at every table to ensure all is well. Must try! Second visit a couple months later, and I was served by Ossama: holy wow! What a great server he was. Again, the food and the service was fantastic. This time some of the little things stood out. The server Ossama gave me a new fork after the appetizer. For the Milanese Meatballs, there is a chunk of mozzarella underneath each meatball, very thoughtfully crafted. And the cherry struesal was great. The server Ossama gave me plasticware for my to-go containers and bagged everything. Can't say enough good about this place!
