    We stopped in on St. Patrick’s Day for lunch, I had the most incredible Reuben that I have ever had, the meat was melt in your mouth delicious! Highly recommend

    What can I say this is a great dive bar. It is usually busy but it's people that go there all the time. It's like some sort of distant family. Lol. The food and drinks are great and so are the staff. I have a great time when I am there. Can't wait till the next time.

    Friendly people and this place has the best toilet paper. I would recommend stopping in just to use the chitter and grab a beer.

    Very busy on a Friday night. We had to ask for our server to help us to start. We ordered nachos as an appetizer and they arrived with dinner. The boneless wings were overdone and basically dry. The bone in wings were passable but definitely not the best in Omaha. Definitely got dive bar vibes and don't have a need to get to back.

    I visited for the first time. It appears to be a low key, neighborhood spot. Staff, and other patrons were very friendly. Our bartender was very sweet. We order 2 flavors of bone in wings. The buffalo was pretty good! The garlic whatever didn’t taste much different, but was also pretty good.

    I've been going to Choo Choo's for years and have always enjoyed the friendly service, drinks and typical bar food. I tried the pasta special for the first time and it was amazing. I highly recommend giving it a try.

    We've been trying all the different places in town for wings. A group of 10 of us went to Choo-Choo's tonight to celebrate my birthday and we will never go back. To start, the service was absolutely horrible. When we arrived at 5:30 the waitress told us the kitchen was backed up about 45 minutes, no big deal. She also told us all the other waitresses were super busy but she just had our table plus 1 other. 7:30 and we still don't all have our food. We ordered several appetizers, didn't get all of them, the gizzards were so overcooked that you couldn't chew them. The side salads that we asked for right away while they were making our food and then asked again for, finally came out when we asked a third time. For the 2 hours that we waited for our food, our drinks (mostly just pop and water) weren't refilled with the exception of the one time we were able to find her for refills. Finally when we got our food, it was not good at all. The boneless wings are breaded chicken breasts that look like chicken nuggets. We ordered spicy garlic and they came out with no sauce at all. They had some garlic powder and maybe some Parmesan cheese sprinkled on them. We asked the waitress about it and she told us it was a dry rub, the manager later told us it wasn't a dry rub but a sauce. The traditional wings we ordered mild and hot. When they were brought out (not at the same time) the waitress told us she was bringing the hot wings out, the person eating them mentioned that they weren't spicy at all but just continued on and then when she brought the other wings out that were actually the hot wings, she didn't understand why we couldn't just trade (1/2 of the first order was already gone). The burgers were so charred it was like they were burnt. When the manager or owner came out, he just took the plates that we told him there were problems with, took them off of our bill, and no offers to remake food, although that could have taken another hour. For us it was not at all about getting the food for free. Needless to say 3+ hours later when we left half of us had to go find food for dinner.

    Terrible unclean place. Full cigarette smoke. Trashy place. Save your money and time. I am surprised they have a license. Gross.

    Food and service were ok. Weird layout.

  • 3/5 JoshKRich 4 years ago on Google
    Good deals on cheap beers like PBR and bud light. For some reason it smells like cigarettes where I sat. Food is good and the service is good. 4 stars without the cigarette smell.

  • 5/5 Sharon C. 2 years ago on Google
    Their Tuesday Tacos can not be beat. They're fresh from the start, the salsa is the best I've had, love the cilantro and the fried shell is fantastic. My friends agreed, we'll be back.

  • 5/5 Wade B. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite old-school bar and grill. It's been a popular place for decades for a reason. Food is fantastic. Wings are amazing. Great atmosphere. Daily food specials all week. Plenty of room for groups. If you're tired of the "mega sports bars", try Choo Choo's. It's got all the features of a sports bar, but with the neighborhood bar and grill feel... and the food, Great food.

  • 3/5 Jill K. 1 year ago on Google
    Not the best, not the worst, just way too expensive for me. I got a beer, a side order of onion rings, and small (6) wings and it was $30 after tip.

  • 5/5 Gina P. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 christal c. 1 year ago on Google
    small but clean bar with the best staff in town! i met an old friend that i hadnt seen in almost 10 yrs there and it was a great experience all around! Cant say enough about the staff, mainly the head bartender which was a lady, blonde hair. She should be teaching bartending classes....the best!

  • 4/5 Christopher P. 11 months ago on Google
    Food was awesome! Service was really slow. To be fair, they were pretty busy.

  • 5/5 Todd G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great neighborhood bar with great food. I travel across town for all of the special events... Chili Cookoff, Cornhole tournaments, Golf Tournaments. I'd say it's a dive bar if the food wasn't so good.

  • 5/5 Karen W. 1 year ago on Google
    Their fish on Fridays during Lent is delicious. They cook it outside, and it's served with homemade French Fries, Coleslaw, Hush Puppies, and Corn Fritters.

    Choo choos has the nicest bartenders and staff. They are compassionate and understanding and are willing to work with you. This place (Choo-choos) is NOT soulless. They care. Even the regulars care. -- You will not be singled out. (Though you may have to break into the pack a little) You will be treated as well as everyone else. And you will have a good time. --- Smile. The people here are good people.

  • 5/5 Joe A. 4 years ago on Google
    Just got wings from choos . Due to the pandemic they were still able to serve food to go and it was truly amazing . Wings were the best I have had in a very long time and I am a wing lover and eat wings quite a bit! The wings were perfectly cooked , perfect amount of crispness and sauces were amazing . The owner also thanked me for not forgetting his business in this tough time . I will continue to support my small businesses with this type of quality and service . Even the celery and carrots were perfectly fresh . My dogs love carrots so they got a good treat also !

    The website menu and specials are not accurate. Was told they were the previous owners and not updated. Busy weeknight but very slow service and slower kitchen. Over 30 minutes for wings and tots

  • 5/5 Emily F. 4 years ago on Google

    Good food

  • 1/5 Josh M. 4 years ago on Google
    Wings are either ‘ok’ or horrible. 20 minute wait isn’t an issue, the issue is that after 20 minutes I expect fresh wings, not ‘that’s been under the heat lamp, but I don’t want to throw it out, so give it to this guy’ wings. At least the carrots and celery were fresh...
