Had a great light microbrew tacoveza! Perfect. If you like brewed tea, go elsewhere! Lots of windows and good lighting. Portions are very large. I had a Cuban sandwich with sweet potato. Fries and she had the Reuben. The Reuben had tons of meat but too much mustard. Reuben was ok, very filling. Portions are big, food was good but not great. We sat by the kitchen and had a long cold draft coming through.
9. The Good Life Sports Bar and Grill

There is a new bar and grill in Papillion and with the attentive service, friendly people and food menu I am planning on going back. At least one more time. The reason is I ordered the Pizza and it was very bland with no taste whatsoever. It was like barely warm when it came out and I will never order it again. My husband however got one of the specialty hamburgers and he absolutely loved it. I want to try that hamburger. So I will at least go one more time but hopefully it will be more then that. I like the atmosphere because it is not loud like many sport bars. You can carry on a conversation, hear and be heard and then glance at one of the many big screen TVâs to see what the score is. The staff came by the table several times to make sure everything was going ok for us. It is a very friendly place.
8. Buffalo Wild Wings

Perhaps I'm getting too used to visiting local establishments rather than large chain restaurants, but the atmosphere just feels kind of generic and unoriginal. The food is just ok, sort of tailored to anyone and everyone, but nothing special. Sure, they have a lot of different wing sauces/dry rub options, but there are only a few that are decent. The beer choices are common, some crafts, but again ones that are tailored to everyone. It's ok for the occasional wing craving, but like so many corporate restaurants they don't offer great value for their mass produced food. We went on a Thursday to get the boneless deal, but if you want any dipping sauce you will be charged extra. Wonder what they would do if I brought my own sauce next time? Kind of lame to charge for that to be honest. This location is loud when busy, hard to carry on a conversation. Again, good for a wing craving, but not rushing back.

Always check the food specials. Friday night is a great time. Kansas Strip with two sides for $9. Very tasty. Get there early because they get very busy and the waitresses get a bit overwhelmed.Play some Keno while your there as well as watch one of the tons of TV's with just about any sport you want.

Good place for families with children. Very casual. Food is average. They do offer carry-out. The buffet does get picked over with large crowds and is sometimes slow to be restocked. The fried chicken is the best. Pizza is average. There are places for the kids to play and there are party rooms. Service is fair, sometimes slow when crowded.

We chose to come here for dinner with friends. It was very busy, but we were seated in the bar area right away. The table needed to be wiped down, but not a big deal. The smoke and pepper burger was fantastic. My wife's salmon burger needs to be taken off the menu. It was terrible, dry no seasonings or flavor other than a poor stale fish taste. The onion ring stack was hot and very tasty. The server needs to pay more attention to the guests. He never asked how things were, late to bring a second round of drinks and forgot the additional ranch dressing.

We have eaten here 3 or 4 times now when in the area. I often wonder if more people know about this hidden gem bc itâs not a known âchainâ. Our meals are always great and service is excellent. They have baked goods that look delicious, and the food is like home cooked and pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Went with another couple--we've been there several times, their first time. When we arrived, there was a large crowd waiting for tables. Most of the people were with two large groups. At first we were told there would be a 20-30-minute wait. Since we were a relatively small group, we only had to wait about 10 minutes before a table was ready. They do not take reservations. The decor is very upscale, the noise level is loud. We first ordered bar drinks and onion rings for appetizer. The drinks were good; the onion rings were outstanding. The onion rings were large, not greasy at all, and the presentation on the platter was exquisite. Three of us ordered the chicken marsala and the fourth in our group ordered the shrimp po boy sandwich. Two of us also ordered the house salad with our chicken marsala. The food came out quickly. The salad portions were large. The only problem with the food was with the asparagus that accompanied the marsala. The asparagus was very small, spindly, and some of them were very tough. I think asparagus is out of season at this time, and they need to change their menu accordingly. All in all, the service was excellent. The only drawback was one of the salads had the wrong dressing, and they quickly remedied the problem. Overall, it was a very pleasant evening, and I'm sure we will return.

Every course we ordered was delicious and served exactly as requested. And it's obvious the service staff is trained well - friendly, knowledgeable and accessible but not hovering or pretentious. Their wine suggestions were spot-on and we were visited by our servers periodically but were never rushed. Our favorite meal during our recent stay in Omaha. We look forward to returning when we travel to the city in the future.
