I'm sure most have had it, but they just opened a new one at 132nd and Center in Omaha and I got my first taste today. Wow, that's a damn good sub!
Nice to see this there too!

Firehouse Subs are damn good... makes you wonder how Subway is even still in business because there food just plain sucks.
Exactly...man people are picky.It's a sandwich. Sandwiches are very difficult to screw up. Firehouse is good, but I can eat a Subway Turkey and enjoy my lunch just fine.

Sure...so you admit it...you are picky and I am a prick. Deal?Kinda like you talking out the side of your mouth being (pricky).

Ha! Shoot man, no problem!Lol.. no harm no foul.. I'm on my period (at least my wife says so)

I can say the same about 99% of the places to eat in nebraska -- the state specializes in bland, fast, or tasteless food. If it's not the worst state to eat out in the country it's trying REALLY hard. Subway is a joke.
I'll throw this out there: Taco Inn.What are your favorite fast food places to eat then?
What are your favorite fast food places to eat then?
I'll give you this, we have a lot of chain restaurants. I prefer locally owned, but it is what it is. If we're talking about Lincoln, I think Venue is damn good. I also like the Blue Orchid and Issara.I don't have any. Fast food is horrible. And Nebraska doesn't have virtually anything else. If you insist on a sandwich, Firehouse isn't the worst. Cousins up in Wisconsin is fairly good too.
And for future reference, there are a few decent eateries scattered around Nebraska. They're just so rare in comparison to other states that it's almost surreal. Especially when Nebraskans get on their high horse and say people are picky. The reaction is... almost unreal in the amount of willful blindness.
Anywho, good food examples :
Dippy Donuts in West Point -- best Donuts I've ever had. Simple stuff but seriously unreal donuts. Just opened a year or two ago. No idea how donuts this good ended up in a random small town. It's just flat out good stuff, even the next day -- and that should say everything you need to know.
Plainsmen Steakhouse in Juniata -- Prime Rib buffet on Friday and Saturday nights. The salad bar/buffet really isn't that great but oh my lord is the prime rib amazing. You get a huge cut of meat and all-you-can-eat buffet for something like 25 bucks.
Nick's Italian in Blair -- We've (my long-term gf and I) gone in here probably fifteen times and ordered their special of the day (which changes often) virtually every time and it's been way, way above average -- every time. They've got a thin-crust personal pizza we use as an appetizer and their spinach artichoke is excellent. For the quality of food this place is CHEAP. We usually get out for around $40 with tip. They've got take-out options.
Flippin' Sweet Burger Joint in Kearney -- not the best hamburgers I've ever had but for the price this is very good. Lots of different tastes/flavors and given the quality that's all you can really ask.
Sakura in Norfolk -- Decent hibachi grill and sushi spot. Not cheap. I've had better (I used to live outside Seattle) but it's decent.
There's also a gyro place down by the college in Lincoln that I can never remember the name. I can drive to it, but it's got these great steak-fries that they cook with the gyro meat. It's reasonable and tastes amazing.
Point with this? I've been around. I've lived in 7 states and been to 35. Trust me when I say that Nebraska is beyond awful for options to eat out.

Needless to say, we got like 8 meals for 30 bucks. When I compare that to the stuff here in Nebraska it just makes me want to cry. There is simply no comparison.
Says the guy that rips on Nebraska for not having good dining options, and then gives a review on a donut shop and burger joint. Omaha has some very good dining options, and you didn't mention any of them.

I've been to Anthony's although it's been 20 years. The food is decent, but too expensive. I know Omaha finally got Toppers although it isn't as good as it is in Wisconsin (they don't use as much cheese). Clancy's was decent back in the day, but I haven't been there for 20 years either even though I know some people involved. The Old Market area is ok, but I've had much better in most cases (I'm generalizing because I have zero desire to keep going on Omaha... it's average at best generally speaking. Yes it has some places but other cities of similar sizehave much more). The point is relatively speaking virtually every part of nebraska is awful in comparison to places of similar size. Nebraska as a general rule specializes in fast, bland, and tasteless food. And horrible, HORRIBLE pizza.
I will say this -- Voodoo Taco isn't bad and that's fairly new.
VERY cool... I'm going to have to try those when I get a chance. Don't get me wrong, I know there's good spots. There just aren't as many as other cities. The variety is awful as well.
Kleitus, you are 20 years out of touch on the Omaha scene. Omaha has lots of great, independent places to eat and well, made this list as #2 foodie city in the US.
Toppers? okay.
On the sub front, Planet Sub (Yello Sub) just opened a location at 90th & Center. Always liked the Beefeater.
There one in Lincoln?I'm sure most have had it, but they just opened a new one at 132nd and Center in Omaha and I got my first taste today. Wow, that's a damn good sub!
Nice to see this there too!
Toppers. You can't be serious. I order toppers at 2:00 in the morning after a night of drinking. It's not the worst pizza out there, but it's certainly not great.
After even mentioning Toppers I don't know if you are serious or not.
Btw just because portions are giant doesn't mean the food is good.
Exactly. He lost all credibility when he throws in Anthony's. It's good but Omaha has soooo much more to offer than Anthony's. Please.
All this because I was excited to try a new sandwich and saw Sparky's sauce!
Is it fall yet?
You can complain about bland, boring food everywhere and be correct, because restaurants crank out tons of it every day. I love living in Denver, but I can name 20 crappy restaurants in the Denver metro for every one that I consider really good.
I've always considered Omaha an above-average restaurant city. Lincoln was below average when I lived there, but it seems to have made some strides in the past 10 years. Of course that was before I found out that someplace in Indiana serves a mountain of nachos for $12. Now I'll have to completely reassess all the meals I've eaten in Nebraska, aka the Great Food Wasteland.
Good to know your opinion is based on garbage pizza and salad bars.I agree on the portions -- it just happens that that food was excellent AND huge. Toppers isn't great pizza, it's just infinitely better than virtually anything else i've had in nebraska -- and it's not even close. it's also significantly better in wisconsin. I can name about 5 places in the seattle area off the top of my head that's better pizza than toppers which should tell you how awful pizza in nebraska has been historically because seattle isn't even on the map compared to chicago or new york. Go to albano's in northwest indiana for some really good stuff. any place that spawns valentino's needs an enema in food production by default.
Except my point was that i hadn't been to Omaha as much since I graduated high school -- and yes, i graduated in the omaha area. I come back occasionally but nothing's been great that I've tried. Feel free to show me differently. I'm always open to trying -- just been burned way too much by half-ass Nebraska salad bars being "good" and places like hu-hots being special (it isn't).
All I'll say about that foodie list is I lived right outside bellevue for almost a decade (#7 on that foodie list) and on average it's night and day better than anything i've ever been to in omaha. omaha isn't even in the conversation. I've found more places with good food randomly in MONTANA of all places than I ever found in Omaha. It isn't even close. best sauerkraut i ever had was in kalispell, MT of all places. Some of the stuff in wisconsin was close but that was the best.

Fighting over fast food. A sure sign football season is missed.Sure...so you admit it...you are picky and I am a prick. Deal?
