Eat & Greet at Pulled BBQ

Well guys, the first Omaha Fattie Eat & Greet of 2023 is in the books. We gathered at Pulled BBQ in Rockbrook Village (11036 Elm St, Omaha, NE 68144). I would like to thank everyone that took the time to come out. It isn’t just about coming to meet the Omaha Fattie; it is about supporting a local restaurant. I want to do my part to make an impact in my community and help those that are working towards a dream. These events are so much bigger than me and I hope that more people start to get excited about them and we can really make waves.

JoJo’s Diner West

Oh boy! Omaha, if you weren’t aware, Jojos Diner – West located at 13110 birch drive ste 100, Omaha, NE opened on 4/5/22. My wife and I had the pleasure of attending their soft opening and we experienced great flavors! My wife was loving the pot stickers which were served with tiny chips, and large […]

Eat & Greet – Aug 13

Due to popular demand, Omaha Fattie has coordinated another Eat & Greet event! I’ve teamed up with East Coast Eats (7622 Dodge St, Omaha) to make it happen! Stop out between 3pm-5pm on August 13th to say hello, support a local restaurant and eat great food! Together A Greater Good/TAGG will also be on site […]

CHI

Have you ever gone to an event at an arena, stadium, etc. and grabbed food from concession stands? If you answered “yes!”, this review is for you! This weekend we got the honor and privilege to watch my daughter compete in the State Wrestling Tournament at CHI Health Center Omaha. With the many hours of […]

Good Lookin’

Hey Good Lookin’, what you got cookin’? That was the question that we found the answer to a few weeks ago when my wife said that her and the girls wanted brunch. Typically, I go to Jiu-Jitsu on Sundays, but I had been hitting the mats hard and decided to take a day off. Good […]

Volcanic Peppers Salsa

Salsa! Guys, maybe you’ve heard of Volcanic Peppers and seen it on the shelves at a grocery store like Hy-Vee. For years, John from Golden Bowl had been telling me that I needed to stop by the shop because they have great hot sauce. Volcanic Peppers is located at 601 Fort Crook Rd N, Bellevue, […]

Shug’s Comfort Food

Shug’s Comfort Food in Old Town Bellevue (105 W Mission Ave Bellevue, NE 68005), put it down last night for dinner. People often ask about places to find good fried chicken, and this is where to go! There was so much, and it was a great deal. We could have fed the whole family for […]

IKA Ramen

I was so excited to experience a full menu for Ramen at IKA Ramen and Izakaya located at 6324 Maple St. in Benson. I previously attended the restaurant at the end of 2015 for their soft opening. It was nice to be able to go back and try some additional items like the Gyoza and Pork […]

The Keg Chicken

The Keg Chicken…5! If you only came for the rating, then read no further. Just playing, please keep reading. While I was joking about you not reading the entire review, I am not joking about The Keg Chicken in Sioux Falls being a 5 on the Fattie Rating System. They have 2 locations: The Keg […]

The Papillion Taco Guy

Tacos! Yes, that is what The Papillion Taco Guy is slanging. Typically, in downtown Papillion at 1st and Washington is where you can find him, but you might see him off site from time to time. If you’re in downtown Papillion on a Friday night, pop into the Papillion Eagles club right on the corner […]

Square Donut

Donuts are so good to me. Donuts, what I love to eat! Lala-Lala-La-la-la! That’s what I’m singing as I write this review about Square Donut, located at 15825 W Maple Rd suite 104, Omaha, NE 68116. If you’re not happy when thinking about donuts, then I don’t know what to tell you. This is another […]

Taste Of Omaha

Taste of Omaha! Man, if you missed out on it this year, there was plenty of good stuff going on. This was the 24th year of the event, however, it was the first year that the event moved to Elmwood Park. It had previously been held at Lewis & Clark Landing, but was relocated due […]

Sugar Makery

Come on now, homemade ice cream, old-fashioned soda, candy of all kinds (new & old), baked goods, chocolate and I don’t even know what else. I’m sure I’ve left something out, but there is so much at Sugar Makery in Glenwood located at 204 E Sharp St, Glenwood, IA 51534 and their sister store, Sugar […]

Thai Esarn

Thai Esarn was the location of our first family dinner where we dined out for at least 6 months. We made the trip All the Way Out to 555 N 155th Plz, Omaha, NE 68154 to have this dinner. If you are not familiar with the location, it is in Pepperwood Plaza just north of […]

Red Bird Bakery

My family was back in Hastings, Nebraska for a few days to be with my in-laws for the last day of my father-in-law who was on hospice. No doubt, a sad time. In life, we learn how to take advantage of the small things because they can ultimately make a big impact. Food is one […]

The Bubbly Tart

The Bubbly Tart is located at 3020 Leavenworth Street Suite 1 Omaha, Nebraska 68105. It was the location of one of our recent Saturday morning outings where the mission was to support local. We stopped at 3 different spots on this particular day; it was our final destination. Prior to The Bubbly Tart we stopped […]

Omaha Tap House

THEY CANNED A BLOODY MARY AND FILLED UP A MARGARITA POUCH RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! Sorry for yelling, but I had to drive home the awesomeness that goes on at the Omaha Tap House located at 579 N 155th Plaza, Omaha, NE 68154 (Pepperwood Village). That’s the type of different experience that puts things […]

Addy’s – Capitol

Super S/O to Addy’s Sports Bar & Grill (Addy’s Capitol) located at 101 N 10th St, Omaha, NE 68102 for inviting Omaha Fattie out for a visit. Krisy, the manager, invited me out back in June when they were just opening. They wanted to make sure to get some honest feedback to help make any […]

Wonton Jon’s

Food Truck! Yes, I’ve been wanting to get out and support our local food trucks as well as our brick and mortar restaurants. A few weeks back we did just that. Wonton Jon’s was set to be outside of Pint 9 Brewing Company and Kros Strain Brewing on Portal Road in La Vista. I was […]

Master’s Hand

“I’m sorry Master’s Hand, I don’t really have a reason to go outside of the Omaha area.” That was what I thought a couple of years ago when Susie Robison of Master’s Hand reached out to me to invite me out to Tekamah. Tekamah? What’s in Tekamah? I really had no idea. At the time […]

Lisa’s Radial Cafe

I had heard of Lisa’s Radial Café on multiple occasions in the past and due to some other lunch plans falling through this week, I was able to visit there instead. My wife and I made the trip over to 817 N 40th St. Omaha, NE 68131 in search of pancakes. Well, I was in […]

Mixins

Mixins, Mixins, Mixins, you are on my mind. I can’t stop thinking about the first time we met. Your creamy rolled ice cream has me under some type of spell and I find myself yearning for more. If that sounded like the start of a love note, it is because it was love at first […]

Porky Butts BBQ

I like, Por-ky Butts and I cannot lie! Yo, Porky Butts is located at 15475 Ruggles St. and is like 30 minutes away from my house, but it was worth the drive! I kept hearing about how good the food was and we had tried to order food a couple times in the recent past, […]

Porky Butts BBQ

Wayne’s New Skoo BBQ

BBQ! Yes, that is what is on the menu again. I’m not mad and you wouldn’t be either if you were eating BBQ. Well, maybe you would be depending on where you ordered your food from. This review will be focused on visits to Wayne’s New Skoo BBQ located at 4865 C St Unit #6, […]

72 Table & Tap

72 Table & Tap located at 5413 S 72nd Street and has been on my Facebook page often as well as in the Omaha Area Foodies group flirting with me. I’ve seen you! I liked that page before they opened after driving past a few times seeing the sign being put up on the outside […]

General Update

I have eaten out more in the last 2 months than at any other 2 month span in my life. It gets expensive, but it has been worth it. We have been having good food experiences and been able to do a small part to help restaurants around town. I’ve been working a ton of […]

Astoria Biryani House

Okay, but I don’t like Indian food! If you really want me to come and give it a try I will. That was pretty much what I said when I was asked to stop out to Astoria Omaha located at 5010 S 108th St. Omaha. Over the years I have had a few different experiences […]

Jimbo’s Diner

Back on it with a new spin. It’s time to get it going with another review, but keep in mind this of course isn’t a regular review due to Social Distancing. We’ll make it work though. First up on the list is Jimbo’s Diner in La Vista at 7101 S 84th St #2. I’ll start […]

General Update

This is a little different than our regular posts as it is not a review. Due to the current climate with the dreaded Coronavirus,of course we are unable to dine infor the full restaurant experience. This means that we will we will have to be a little more creative with content and will not hold […]

St. Columbkille (Guest Post)

A Fish Fry Newbie I have never been to a Lenten fish fry in my life, but I have to admit I was a little curious. What actually goes on at a fish fry? Do they only have fried fish to eat? Do you have to attend the church where the fish fry is being held? Needless […]

Ramsey Station (School Lunch!)

We all can remember school lunches; do you have memories of loving them? A lot of us do and that is the reason that I decided to write this review. I got the idea when I volunteered as part of the Watch D.O.G.S.(Dads of Good Students) program at my daughter’s school, Rumsey Station, last school […]

Sinful Burger

I went to Sinful Burger located at 4005 Twin Creek Drive, Bellevue, NE on a whim! Jim Nearing, the owner, recently contacted me asking if I was ever going to stop out. I hadn’t really thought about stopping out to do a review. I did contact them last year to see about bringing the Omaha […]

Rodizio’s

OH…MY…GOD! Rodizio’s in Lincoln (737 P St, Lincoln, NE 68508) is so legit! At first I have a little sticker shock because of the price. At $29.99 a person for adults that can be expensive. The key for our visit was to go on a Sunday for the brunch pricing ($21.99). Kids varies depending on […]

Meisiu Cafe

Have you heard of Meisiu Café? It’s located at 7622 Dodge St, Omaha, NE. My wife had been telling me about this new noodle place that we needed to try. I enjoy Asian food very much; it is my favorite! She was saying how they make the noodles themselves from scratch. It took a while, […]

Lillypad Kitchen (Billie Frogg’s)

Confused…that’s the word that best describes our experience at Lillypad Kitchen/Billie Frogg’s. I was invited out to the establishment through an Instagram message and all the photos of the food looked delicious so I agreed to go. Life had gotten busy, but I had given my word that I would visit before the end of […]

Freezing Moo

Thank you, Freezing Moo (7530 Dodge St)! You capped off a cool weekend with some sweet rolled ice cream. The night before going to Freezing Moo we went to Piezon’s Pizzeria and they made a dairy free pizza for my wife which is HUGE! Then we get to go out for ice cream to a […]

Keystone Tavern

Let me just start off by telling you that I’m kind of a big deal! Like Big! Haha. That is nowhere near the truth and you know that this isn’t my mindset. Things may be beginning to change a small bit, but I’m still just your friendly neighborhood Fattie. I started it off saying that […]

Piezon’s Pizzeria

CUSTOMER SERVICE! That is the first thing that you should know about Piezon’s Pizzeria (Located at 15605 West Center Road). Don’t worry, I’m going to talk about the food, but the service is something that cannot go unmentioned. I was commenting on a Restaurant Hoppen Podcast hosted by Dan Hoppen on Twitter when I mentioned […]

Hard Bean Coffee

Welcome to another Omaha Fattie review. In this edition we’re talking coffee. I like Hard Bean, located at 7302 Giles Rd suite 4, La Vista, NE! I’ve been meaning to get this review written for weeks and I just kept procrastinating. Now, I am finally going to get this done. This will be the first […]

Karray’s Cafe

Karray’s Café, I’m glad that we found you! The funny thing is, I was actually planning on going to a different diner in Ralston, but I couldn’t remember the name. I went to Google and searched for “diners near me” and this is one of the places that came up in the search results. Located […]

Holy Ghost Church Fried Chicken Dinner

Fried Chicken! Yes, Holy Ghost Church is known for the Gospel, but it is also known for the Fried Chicken Dinner Nights organized by the Men’s Club every fall. They usually run the 3rd Friday August through October and then again in January. Now, I am not a church-goer myself, but I am a food-goer! […]

Tired Texan BBQ

Tired Texan BBQ, let me start by saying that I’m a little confused about this review and I think that it just means that the jury is still out. I think I will have to try it again sometime. I’ll go back to my initial attempt just over a year ago after they had first […]

The Rude Shrimp Co.

Y’all, I went out to Waterloo for food…Waterloo! I like to hand around the Omaha area and I am an east of 72nd Street kinda guy so this was a big deal for me. Not just because I went out to eat in Waterloo, but because I was asked to visit by Lisa Lahners, joint […]

Popeyes Chicken Sandwich

Yo, is it a fad, a trend, or a staple for the future in the world of fast food chicken sandwiches? The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich craze has stormed cities across the United States including here at home in the Omaha Metro. This review is not only to talk about the sandwich, but my whole experience […]

Rotella’s Italian Bakery

Dude!!! How have I not been going to the Rotella Italian Bakery Store located at 108th & Harrison before now?! I’ve known about it, my daughter has toured the factory, and I still never made a trip. That all changed recently and I’m so glad that it did. The smell of fresh bread is so […]

Kitchen Table

Kitchen Table, thank you for a great lunch with my wife! My birthday was at the end of September and I took some days off from work to make it a long weekend and while I was scrolling through Twitter I this epic biscuit sandwich caught my eye. It was a HUMONGOUS stacked tower of […]

Margaritas

Margarita’s is legit! We have been visiting the establishment for years. Back to when they were on the North Side of I-80 next to Burger King on Grover. Currently they are located just south of L Street at 4915 S 72nd St, Omaha. My wife is a HUGE fan of Mexican Food and she could probably […]

Chaima African Cuisine

I have been to Chaima multiple times over the last 3 or 4 years. Another one of Omaha’s hidden gems located at 5060 S 107th St, Omaha, NE 68127. To be honest, I am not too cultured when it comes to eating new foods and I was a little apprehensive about trying an African restaurant. […]

80s Snack Shack

80’s Snack Shack is a nice little almost hidden gem in Bellevue, Nebraska. It’s just to the south of Bryan High School in the business strip next to the gas station on Giles Road. What can I say about this restaurant? Good food and at pretty affordable prices. Ran by the mother/daughter combo of Dulce […]
