If you park where google maps takes you in the parking lot below, just walk up the stairs and you'll find it. This used to be a university cafeteria or something like that and they've repurposed it very creatively to provide 2 restaurants and a bar. Can I just tell you how much I loved the sweet lady who took our order? She was the best. She was truly excited that we were excited to be here. Guy Fieri did not steer us wrong when he show cased this place on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. I got 1 Fish 1 Chicken. It was the perfect decision. My piece of chicken was a thigh and it was perfect. It was so good, I literally sucked all the breading off every bone. And I ate THE BEST PIECE OF FRIED FISH I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I'm not kidding. I love fried fish and always have... I've got almost 50 years of fried-fish-eating-experience. The coating was cornmeal and crunchy and spiced perfectly. The flavorful coating adhered nicely to the fish and was served piping hot and fresh. The tartar sauce is on point too--I enjoyed it so much that I may or may not have eaten it alone with a spoon (ok I didn't use a spoon, I used my finger to get every drop). The sweet potato pudding is sweet and smooth with a crunchy nutty topping. Very good side dish. It heats up well as leftovers too. Now for dessert. I didn't travel all this way to try just one. I'm not ashamed to say that I walked away with three and I have no regrets. I came for the sweet potato cheesecake, but I stayed for the sweet potato pie. My favorite after eating all three (later, not all at the same time) was the sweet potato pie which is so much better than pumpkin. I don't know how, but it just is. Have you ever eaten pumpkin pie and just felt like it was missing something? Yeah, sweet potatoes--that's what it was missing. The cheesecake was good. The poke cake was yummy--yellow cake poked to hold caramel with luscious chocolate frosting.We stayed in Omaha for 4 nights eating our way all over town. This was my VERY FAVORITE MEAL! Thank you for such a great experience, Mama's ladies. Y'all are knocking it out of the park!

Food was great, experience was just off. Order at the counter, the menus are posted everywhere, but they are also different everywhere so make sure you look at them all to see all they offer and check out their instagram too. They also have a full service bar called "Dena's Place" but I think it's basically the same place, and the same person taking orders was making drinks. There was only 1 person for the front of house and I think 1 person cooking, I felt bad it was a Friday night and they had a decent amount of people coming in constantly. Our fried green tomatoes & Tots came out in about 15 minutes, pipping hot, like had to cut them all in half and wait another 10 minutes and they were still burning! But once they cooled down the tots were great, I wouldn't order the fried green tomatoes again. Chicken came about 55 minutes after ordering, we were quoted about 35 minute wait, but we weren't upset, just wanted to warn others, don't be on a tight schedule here! They brought us out another side of Mac N Cheese which my husband enjoyed haha. My husband got the cranberry tea, they do not have regular iced tea, but he enjoyed it! My watermelon lemonade was fantastic! No free refills on the tea or lemonade, which we figured, so then we got cups of water, but I really wish there was a water fountain, or something out to help yourself because the 1 gal working always had a line of people placing food/drink orders and we just wanted some more water. Sometimes the food is called out over the microphone and you pick it up kinda in the back, but our food was always brought to our table, so I'm Not sure why on that. Im not sure if this was an off night or not, we might try it again, prices were super fare, plenty of tables to choose from, staff was friendly and the food was good, just an overall odd experience!

Not sure why people had issues in previous reviews. Went with my son. We ordered- a side of home fries, Mac and cheese, a vegan soulful bowl, watermelon lemonade, lemonade. The vegan soulful bowl was huge with excellent flavor and texture. I ended up only eat 1/4 of it, because it was filling. It came with greens, red onions, tomatoes, rice, black eyed peas, and cabbage. My son eat the Mac and cheese, had like 5 bites but I think that was more due to his own distraction with the music, TV and the fact we had a couple of snacks around 10am. Fries were well seasoned and crispy. My kid loves lemonade and preferred my watermelon lemonade to his own classic. (To be fair, I did too).The staff was friendly, food came out quickly, and the dining area was very clean. It was not busy, whatsoever when we went during lunch on Friday so I at least hope it's busier during the dinner time or on the weekends.

Average food at an exorbitant cost. This review is based on food, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, and value. Food was bland. Chicken was soggy.Service at the counter was not good. Unhelpful, impatient, and I got the feeling that I was a burden to her day.It's a food court type dining area, and wasn't very clean, despite what appeared to be a dedicated custodian, who was busy awkwardly staring at us while we ate. The atmosphere could be nice, but there was poor utilization of space, and unfinished projects everywhere we looked didn't even appear to be organized and no work was in progress. The biggest hit here was the value. This food was expensive, despite the poor quality of ingredients, small portions, and disappointing end product.

Best catfish in Omaha. The house made hot sauce is some of the best I've ever had. The Mac and cheese is really good and the fried okra is great on its own or dipped in the hot sauce. The cornbread was super good as well. The service was spot on and the staff is friendly. Good atmosphere, very open space and lots of seating at the bar.

We had our Thanksgiving catered after doing a couple years of good food at Railcar and we loved it! The smoked turkey had lots of flavor! So much that it changed my mother in law's mind about eating turkey at Thanksgiving over ham. The sides were great! We had lots of food and it was all delicious and easy! The staff were friendly and the pickup was simple! So glad we got a chance to try it out!
