Got a tip to go try the Carrot dog at M's Pub, but we had just ate lunch about an hour before! Oh well we are on vacation it's ok to have a mid day snack and beer on a beautiful patio right, And you might as well get a Carrot Dog while your at it! Yes it's like a Carrot (grilled or boiled) taking place of a Hot dog on a bun with relish, mustard, ect. You might think that doesn't even sound that good, but dang it was quite light and delicious! We had them split to dog for us and then it also came with a sizable side salad, for the same price as one carrot dog, they didn't have to do that and my Brickwater pale went down smooth on a beautiful afternoon on M's patio! The staff was nice, The inside was beautiful, the bar looked great, the bathrooms were down a really cool hall and were also rad! We kept talking about going back to M's while in Omaha, but we never made it back! But we will at some point! If you have a Carrot Dog for under 7bucks that taste that good... Imagine what else might be up their sleeves!

Loved the atmosphere at this place. Service was great. The food was delicious. I wanted everything on the menu. Wine list was top notch with excellent creations also coming from the bar. My Moscow Mule was perfect. Great for date night or an evening with friends. We'll definitely go back to explore that menu, but will be tempted by their list of specials. Highly recommended.

M's has always been my go-to place downtown, and now that I live close by, it's still one of my faves! M's combination of ambiance and menu items, whether sitting at the bar, on the patio, or at one of their charming tables, always bring me back. I've never had bad service or a bad meal and I usually choose to stick around for the chocolate cake and coffee. M's is full of history and an Omaha staple; the place to be!

Love the vegetarian lavosh! Large menu with wide variety of foods to choose from, friendly service, good cocktails - can't say anything other than good things, except maybe the parking. Weekends it is good to call ahead for reservations. This is in the heart of the Old Market with it's own historic qualities.

Pretty disappointed with this place. I had high hopes considering the yelp rating and reviews. We came on a busy night (Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood concert) and the only thing available was the bar, which was fine. But prior to seating at the bar, I had an annoying convo with the host. The host wasn't really friendly or helpful; he seemed flustered and preoccupied. When I asked him whether the small table behind the bar was available, he rudely said everything was booked. However, the table was still unoccupied when we left. I ordered their New York Steak and it was really sub par. Steak was cooked well, but it lacked flavor. It was also too chewy. The mash potatoes were delicious though. Restaurant itself was small and cramp, wish we went elsewhere.

We were in town visiting friends and this was their choice to eat at on a Friday night. It is very busy. It was extremely loud as well as every table was full. The service did a good job based on the fact that we were so busy talking. They let us do it. The food was ok. Nothing blew me away. I found the menu a bit all over the place vs. focused. I think if they focused doing a few things well vs. trying to do it all. Most of the table had the flat breads and shared them. The Omaha one was the table favorite. I had the surf and turf satay. It was ok. A tad salty for my taste. We started with the ceviche and it was my favorite dish we had the whole night. I guess this place is a place to go in Omaha. At home this would be similar to a Chili's chain. It was fine for a dinner with friends on a random Friday night. I would not go here for a special occasion. I doubt I would go back for dinner in Omaha. Maybe lunch but not dinner. I would try someplace else. I thought it was a bit high for the quality of the meal. Two cocktails, two bottles of wine, a salad, a starter and four entrees was over $220 for four people. At home the quality would have been higher for that price point.
(3)Michelle P.
The name is pretty misleading since the place is nothing like a normal pub. It's super nice, but not so nice that you have to dress super fancy. The salads are amazing and they feature the perfect mix of textures. Our waitress was very nice. The atmosphere is lovely.

I'm a HUGE fan of M's Pub! I've been to M's for several reasons - all of which include but are not limited to: having a great time, hanging out with great people, celebrating, wishing friends 'goodbye', and eating good (if not great) food. M's is such an awesome place to go that I doubt you could be disappointed. It's a little small when it comes to dining space, but they max out all the time. The turnaround in this restaurant is substantial. For my first visit to M's, I was going to a lunch meeting. The person I was meeting ordered escargot. While I've had escargot before, I wasn't really aware there was a place in Omaha that served it...and so well! I was pleasantly surprised and helped him eat his order. :) If you're a foodie, you'd do yourself a favor by checking M's out and bring your sense of adventure with you, too!
(5)Scott B.
Woohoo! As good as it gets! One of my favorite places to eat in Omaha.
(5)k o.
My all time favorite restaurant in Omaha. The food is consistently fantastic. When traveling to Omaha, I make it a point to dine at M's.
(5)Bryan N.
I'm a fan of M's pub. As one of the main establishments of The Old Market, there are a lot of people here giving M's a good energy on most days of the week. There is a great bar here with enjoyable tenders and a very helpful waitstaff. The price for lunch was much better than expected for such a well known eatery. Give M's a chance and I doubt that you will be unhappy.

I have lived in Old Market for almost 3 years, and have tried to eat here 7 TIMES!!! We actually sat down 2 of the 7 times, and ended up walking out. (One of which we had a reservation for). The hostesses are surly and less than willing to help. They could honestly care less about whether they get your business or not, because of their "reputation" and location. We were told the same thing that many people were told about gettign a table - that we would be kicked out of our seats because someone had a reservation after us... ? Excuse me?? The ethics fo this place are all wrong. 2 of the times we left, we went around the corner to Vivace... which is owned by the same people. They have MUCH better service, but after getting the less than impressive pesto, and a lasagna that had about 9 WHOLE stalks of thyme stuffed in it (more than you should use in the whole dish) my husband and I have decided that we no longer wish to support these owners. Omaha should demand better.

Great place to - go in the Old Market. It does get quite busy, but it is fun to grab a set at the bar and dine there. The menu runs the gammot from salads & sandwiches to the specials that they run every two weeks. You can end up spending between $15 - $70/person depending on what you order. The waitstaff is friendly and the wine list is great.

air conditioning at it's best. delicious cobb salad. nice bartender. soothing atmosphere. outside patio for when it's not so muggy. i like omaha.
(4)M R.
One of Omaha's classic establishments. Space is a bit cramped. Weather permitting, recommend patio seating and enjoying the diversity of people you can watch walk by. Crab cakes are a tasty, light lunch.
(3)David K.
This place is upscale, with Mediterranean favorites, famous for Lahvosh. It's a good place for a full meal, or to have an evening of wine and a cheese sampler.
(4)Sheng S.
This place is ok. Good food. I think it's overrated. We had reservations, but the host screwed it up. Decent food, nice atmosphere, but doesn't have the upscale look. Almost dingy and old in a way.
(3)Angie M.
Sexy spot! Too bad I was here with co-workers. One more glass of that house merlot, which was WAY too good to cost only $5 or to be called a house merlot, and I would have made out with one of my implementation managers.
(4)Alex L.
We love the Wild Salmon, grilled styled salmon and perfectly served with corn cake. Cuban black bean soup is good too.
(4)Adam H.
Great place for work lunch and a drink in the old market- the Lavosh is key and staff is on point. I recommend this place- I need to try something other than the Lavosh but it's just so good- it's the pizza lover in me but also it's just tasty as hell.
(4)Gregg M.
M's Pub is an Old Market fixture. It's a place I know pretty well having dined there on multiple occasions when I lived in Omaha. It's a restaurant that looks and feels like it could fit right in food meccas like New York, Chicago or San Francisco without a hitch. Understandably, it was a place that I thought was a good call for an early lunch on a sunny, warm Wednesday. Since it was such a nice day, I asked to be seated outside especially since the dining room was totally empty. I opted for the M's Falafel consisting of two grilled falafels served over toasted pita with greens, feta cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, calamata olives, and a spicy yogurt sauce. I added a grilled lamb skewer, which brought the total for the dish to $14.95. While I appreciated the more health conscious preparation of the falafels by grilling them vice pan-frying, the falafels were somewhat dense, warm (not hot), and mushy. Their flavor was good, but it couldn't overcome my preconceived notion of falafels. The skewer contained a reasonable portion of nicely grilled lamb. Unfortunately, the lamb was a bit tougher, more sinewy than what I've experienced at other restaurants. Nevertheless, it did possess nice flavor. My memory of M's Pub from previous visits was better than my experience on this trip. Perhaps lunch isn't really their strong suit or, more likely, I just chose the wrong menu item. Call it 2.5 stars...rounding up to 3 for ambiance and service.
(3)Jennifer D.
I really want to like M's but after a fourth visit I realize that M stands for mediocrity. The atmosphere is nice and it's in a cool spot but that's about as far as it goes for me. I've ordered different things each time hoping to be wowed but no. The Lavosh is tasty for sure so it gets 2 stars. The last time I visited I took a friend for her bday and the risotto was terrible- drenched in balsamic and too tangy. The other special was a meatloaf and it came out dry and kind of cold. Our waitress came back only sporadically and I had to either ask other people for things or get them myself. Not cool. So far Benson is quickly becoming my go to for decent food. Too bad it's not as close!

After a pleasant afternoon seeing the desert dome at the Omaha Zoo, we popped into M's Pub to see what they might have for happy hour events. Alas, no happy hour on Saturdays but we opted to stay even though they had an hour and a half waiting list. The bartender was very nice. At his suggestion, we ordered the veggie lahvosh for an appetizer at the bar and it was great. He ran out of the local dark porter beer and they only get beer kegs replenished on Sunday so we were out of luck there. After longer than the projected wait time, we were ushered to a bar table even though there were several tables on the dining room floor open or nearly open. When asked for one of them, we were told they were for the phone in reservations only. Being in the food service industry, I'm aware of the difficulty juggling reservations with the walk ins but this hostess didn't seem to understand the benefits of filling and turning tables as quickly as possible. (She informed me that the system she was using had worked for 25 years so why change it). As we dined perched on our high chairs in the bar, we observed at least 5 table open at all times. Some of these tables sat unoccupied for over 25 minutes during prime time! Not our business if a restaurant wants to turn customers away with lengthy wait list times while tables sit fallow, but if we'd understood that the wait list was due to incompetence rather than food quality, perhaps we'd try some other venue. We ordered the lamb burger and the Philly beef sandwich both were ok.

M's is a great place to go with out-of-town guests or as an out-of-town guest visiting Omaha. It is very well-suited to this purpose because they have a fairly broad selection of dishes that will please a variety of palates. In our group, we had one omnivore, one picky eater, one who can't handle spicy food, and one vegetarian. We all really liked our food and shared the vegetarian lavosh, which everyone raved about. The portion sizes are very reasonable and I don't think I saw a fried thing on the menu, which is great if you want something other than standard Midwestern fare. Other observations: They have a few good local-ish beers on tap, which is fun if you like to try new things while traveling (as I do). Our server seemed a little snobby, which I thought was weird since M's is a pretty good restaurant in Omaha, NE. I don't like that attitude at all, anywhere, but come on. Really? Service was still prompt, helpful, and knowledgeable, however. The decor is understated and lovely. Beautiful high ceilings, brick walls, nice lighting. It is great to know about another good restaurant in Omaha generally & the Old Market specifically, as I am originally from the area and visit often. M's was a great choice for a siblings' night out.
(4)Fredrick B.
I hadn't been to M's Pub in over a decade--I no longer live in Omaha. Just as I recalled: in fact, better! A much more varied menu than I recall, from the healthier options, to rich dishes like lamb, steaks, etc. The service was fantastic, though the hostess was NOT friendly and was way too pretentious. Our waitress was quite nice, attentive just to the right level--not at all overbearing--and the food was perfect. I particularly recommend the blackened shrimp with avocado salad. Yummy! Glad I'll be returning to the Bog "O" again soon!
(4)T B.
Great atmosphere! But the food is starting to get a little old.. I wouldn't mind if some of the menu stayed the same, if they were to just get better ingredients, more local product and fresher veggies. I'll still come back again, but with so many great restaurants popping up, it won't be as often until they tackle a new menu! Btw, had the lamb which was incredibly expensive! And I don't mind shelling out the menu for a great dinner, but it was NOT worth the price or even half... but I'm reviewing based off what I expect before going in. I usually just come for the drinks and atmosphere, which was all fine.
(4)Tahmeka T.
We came here on a weekend trip. We weren't familiar with the area but a friend recommended this place. When we came in, we couldn't really tell where the hostess stand was located. There was no podium and no hostess. We sat at the bar. The staff was rude and short but I think it was bc they were drowning with a backed up kitchen and an outdated cash register/ticket system. The food was just ok and overpriced. The chefs needs to work on their plating, presentation is everything. The cocktails were the very best part. I wouldn't go back here just because we visited other restaurants with better service and food.
(2)Mya C.
My friend and I had heard great things about M's Pub so we decided to head there on a friday night. It was pretty busy in there so we opted to sit at the bar to our food and drinks. Once we sat down i gave the bartender my i.d (which was out of state because I was visiting friends). He stared long and hard then bluntly said "Nope cant take it" then set it down and walked away. Didnt even initially explain the reason why until i asked him once he came back around. His response was that Nebraska law stated that in order for a 21 and up i.d to be valid at a bar to drink it had to be a drivers license and not an identification card. This is news to me because every other establishment has taken my i.d and let me order a cocktail. My friend then politely chimes in "we should have known the law more bettter" (purposely using incorrect grammar to lighten the mood. His response was then "More better!???" in the most sarcastic and demeaning way. He was by far the rudest and unfriendly person working at a restaurant I have ever met!!! TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! I then spoke with the manager who clearly could tell I was upset by the way we were treated and she giggled and said "I apologize ladies" with a smirk on her face. Moral of the story is this place had TERRIBLE SERVICE. I wish we could have been able to try the food because I did hear it was amazing :(
(1)Shaunita J.
Someone took me here during a faculty interview. It was waaaay too noisy in here. I couldn't hear people sitting next to me. And there seemed to be a lot of old, overdressed wrinkly drunk people in there. Kind of messed up the vibe. (No disrespect to "seasoned" people, we just happened to be sitting next to a really loud group of them.) Had the vegetarian lahvosh (my first time trying it) and chicken satay. Both were great! Service was great, considering how crowded it was. A little pricey for everyday, but definitely a good date place. Would go again.
(4)Mozhi M.
Someone recommended M's Pub for dinner so my husband and I tried it tonight. The restaurant is in the hip Old Market where we are staying. Nice restaurant with good ambiance. Our lovely waitress was very friendly and gave us fantastic service; thank you miss J. Our soup and salads tasted good. For the main dish, I ordered the special and my food was excellent, just the way I like my steak, juicy and tender with mash potatoes and vegetables. I had no complaints there. Unfortunate for my husband though, he ordered the lamp and it was like rubber. He is a gentleman so he did not complain to the waitress and ate all his food. I could see he had trouble chewing and swallowing. I would have sent it back but he would not hear it; what a gentleman. The other disappointment was when our tiramisu arrived. It was something more like mouse with dough in it. It did not look like tiramisu and certainly did not taste like it. It was not even tiramisu gone wrong! I have a sweet tooth but the two of us could not finish one dessert. Either the dessert chef has never had real tiramisu before or he/she thinks the customers are ignorant! I am not sure how they can pass that dessert in their menu as tiramisu. Why not call it something else all together? Chef's special for example?! Will I go to the M's Pub to have dinner again? For the steak, yes, but will never order the lamb or tiramisu again!! I will be hesitant to order any dessert all together. If the M's Pub wants to be a 5 star restaurant needs to take every dish serious even the little tiramisu in a cup!

Walked in without reservations and since it was early afternoon we were seated right away. This is the fourth time we have eaten here, the first back around 1988. The place has really gone downhill since our last time here six years ago. Starting with drinks the waitress did not know what the Single Malt prices were and she had no idea what kind of Mojito's they offered. I got a huge glass of Macallan 12 for around $11, my wife asked for a cucumber Mojito's but it was flat. We flagged down the waitress and the bartender drained off a bit and added more stale club soda. The Charcuterie was very tasty but I felt the blue cheese did not go with anything else. I ordered the salmon entree and it was perfect, among the best I have ever had. My wife ordered the pork flatiron, when it arrived she cut it in half and it was very rare all though out. The waitress said that was how they always cooked it, we asked for them to cook it a bit more. For desert we had the creme brûlée and the chocolate marquis, both were just OK. We will probably eat somewhere else next time we are in town, too bad because this place used to be one of our favorites.
(2)Darrell H.
First time in and to eat here after living in Omaha for ten or eleven years on and off. Went for a date night with the wife and were not disappointed. It was excellent, both the food, drinks and service. An absolute must is their famous Lahvosh that was excellent indeed. We will definitely be back.
(4)Jeffrey M.
Tasty food, good service, reasonably priced. If you are veg/vegan you must eat a carrot dog. It was the star of our meal and so cheap.
(4)Jerrold D.
I was in town on business and came here for dinner one night. I enjoyed the food and the ambiance, quite trendy. The menu was extensive with a lot of variety, and reasonably priced. I had the meatloaf which was a combination of beef and veal, wrapped with a slice of bacon, and grilled, which was a nice touch and added some great flavor. The portion was just right. Additionally, the service was good. I'll be back.
(4)Ben R.
Love the food! Great experience and always get the best service. I take everyone here who comes and visits me from out of town.
(5)Justine R.
Good clean place with several vegetarian options and good wine
(4)Jon K.
Absolutely love this place, had the chance to eat lunch here on a recent trip to the O-Town! First of all, this place is located in the heart of the old market. It's an Omaha institution, and a couple of reasons are because the food is so good and the atmosphere is great. You can't miss with any of the lavosh, we had the Thai Lavosh and it was great. Additionally, we had the warm brie appetizer which was rather satisfying as well. For lunch, I had the Mahi sandwich, it was good - not great. This is the only reason they are getting four stars instead of five. Everything else was perfect. Our waitress was an absolute gem as well. I still highly recommend this great Omaha establishment!
(4)Jessica J.
Walked into this place at 515ish on a Saturday afternoon and so glad I did! I was by myself so I sat at the bar and within 45 minutes of being there the place became packed. I would recommend reservations. Get a Moscow Mule! If you have never tried one of these little gems in a copper tin mug.... then do! The bartenders, forgot their names, were very friendly and did not disappoint when gave their recommendations on the food. I have never tried duck so I got the Seared Duck on a bed of Couscous with Red-Currant and Juniper Berry Sauce and a side of Vegetables. It was AMAZING! I highly recommend it. I went crazy and ordered a dessert also.... the Mocha Fudge Torte was the best I have ever had. Flour-less cake with strawberries and whip cream tasted like a little piece a heaven. I will definitely be visiting this place again if I ever find myself in Omaha again.
(5)Lina K.
Great food, drink and service! Went here for a team dinner and waited a bit at the bar prior to seating. Sneaked a peek at the drink menu and got the pear martini: Perfectly crisp, dry and just slightly sweet ... perfect! Shared the crab cake appetizer with a coworker which was very good and not too bread-y. I had the spinach salad: delicious with warm bacon vinaigrette!!! The rib eye dinner was perfectly medium rare and served on a bed of wasabi mashed potatoes with asparagus and miniature carrots on the side. Atmosphere was very steak house-y and crowd looked upscale. All in all, a very pleasant dining and socializing experience.
(4)Jamie B.
Still a fan of M's Pub... but I don't know if it's changed or I have. On my past few visits when back in Omaha, I've noticed the food just isn't as good as I remember. I recently had the Omaha Grill which was not good. It was like a small girlled ham and cheese, except with beef, and it was greasy too. The little side salads with the poppyseed vingarette could use some more love too- the lettuce was all sad and wilty. The vegetarian lavosh was still very good.
(3)Albert G.
Cool place to hang out, service is good and friendly and drinks are reasonably priced. Their food menu is vast and tasty
(4)Jessica Y.
Been here twice now. First, I ordered the lamb burger. It was tasty, but really juicy and drippy - I had liquid running down my hands and it was just really annoying to eat. I liked the simple salad that came with the burger; it has a raspberry viniagrette that was wonderful. The second time, I ordered the roast beef sandwich. It was nothing special, but good. I liked the horseradish dipping sauce it came with. My bf ordered a cajun chicken/seafood pasta dish and he said it was one of the most amazing seafood entrees he has ever eaten. He loved the sauce, and wanted to lick his plate when he was done. I gave this place only 3 stars, but I would definitely go back. Perfect for date nights; I went with a coworker and felt it was a little intimate for a professional one-on-one meal.
(3)Curtis R.
I went there at 10:30 at night on a Thursday expecting the "kitchen is closed" routine. They welcomed me to a table! I had an excellent rib eye steak, the service was excellent. My server was great. I would reccomend this place highly.
(5)Grant W.
Hungry while passing through Omaha, we looked for a place to grab a bite to eat. M's was well rated and open late. We stopped in and I immediately ordered a rast beef sandwich and Fat Tire. When the fare arrived, I dug in. The Beef was fantastically prepared and presented with a delicious side-salad, raspberry vinaigrette and horseradish sauce (Horseradish and beef being a personal favorite, I was enthralled.) The bread, however, was awful. to put such extraordinary beef on wonder-bread was an insult to all that is just and fair in the world. thin, soggy and flavorless bread wrapping an otherwise wonderful sandwich. I was horrified. Is it too hard to use rye, sourdough or pumpernickel? The lamb burger my friend ordered was served on a chewy, day-old, onion roll. The Verdict: So close to perfect but the bread brakes the sandwich
(4)Ashley B.
Food was satiating and reasonably priced. The drink menu was very enticing. Service was friendly and expedient. The space is not intimate...wouldn't go for a date night. But for people that like open spaces and high ceilings this is the place to be!
(4)Todd G.
I got into town late and was looking for a good local restaurant for dinner. I asked the concierge from my hotel for a good place and they recommended M's Pub. I ventured down to the Old Market area of town and quickly realized that I was in the right place. The restaurant was still a buzz at 8:30pm so I took a seat at the bar. It took a few minutes before the bartender approached me but I wrote that off because they were still pretty busy. I finally got their attention and was able to order a beer and my food. I started with the carpaccio, which was good, and followed that up with the lamb burger. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with my food and would put this on my list of restaurants to visit again when in town. Lot of choices and good quality. Definitely recommend.
(4)Craig J.
Excellent service and atmosphere. Order the Lamb Burger. One of the best you'll find anywhere.
(5)Daryn P.
When I reflect on the last year or so, I can't help but think of two experiences - both of which caused me such colossal disappointment that, for days afterward, I wondered if good things would ever happen to me. The first: meeting an alluring goddess and convincing her to join me for a night of unforgettable passion, only to discover that she was the proud owner of a 6-inch ding-dong and testicles the size of cumquats. The second: eating at M's Pub Take just a moment, and it's easy to understand how these two experiences are very similar. Initially, you think it might actually be your lucky night. But, as time goes on, you realize that you're just getting dicked. M's Pub is, quite possibly, the most overrated restaurant in the city of Omaha. The food is sub-par, and proves just how idiotic some people truly are. The woman next to me was ceaselessly raving about her cucumber sandwich. She must have been so enthralled by the exposed brick that sticking cucumber slices between bread seemed like an incredible feat. At least she paid eleven dollars. It's cramped. It's loud. And, the servers are nudniks. Two stars for the Lavosh.
(2)Alanna W.
I have eaten here a few times during my trips to Omaha, and I really enjoy M's. The first time, we had drinks at lavosh at the bar. This was a year ago, and yet I still crave that meal. It was absolutely delicious, and a more unique offering of their menu. More recently, I went with a group during the busy dinner rush. We were in a bit of a time crunch, as we had to catch a flight. We told our waitress this, and she was really great about it. She helped us to order menu selections that would allow us to finish our meal given our rush, and she anticipated all of our needs to ensure that we were not late. She did so with a great attitude, and I really appreciated it. My fellow diners really enjoyed their meals, having ordered specials and burgers. I ordered the Indian Lamb Satay. It was good, but not great. I really love that the side offered is a salad, and I enjoyed the poppy seed vinaigrette that accompanied it. My one complaint about the dish was that my mixed greens were not quite fresh. My dining experiences at M's have been great overall, and I look forward to returning every time I am in Omaha.
(4)Katelyn E.
This place is perfect for a romantic date night or a girls' night out. I love the intimate setting- it's comfortable yet I never go here without getting a bit dressed up. I've celebrated best friends' birthday's here and I actually took the fiance here for one of our first Omaha dates and he loved it. The food is good , the Thai Lavosh is my most favorite. It's comparable to crispy pizza, only instead of tomato sauce you have pesto or bbq and instead of the bread, you have crackers. It's awesome and hard to explain, so just take my word and try it. Their salads are all pretty great too- their dressings are fabulous. I love M's so much, I tried to secure this place for my wedding rehearsal. Unfortunately, they can't accommodate such a large group. :( They directed me to their sister restaurant, Vivace (also wonderful) but on the "Recommended Things to Do List" I'm including in out of town guests' baskets, M's is definitely listed! It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. Try to snag an outside seat in the summer, order a glass of wine, and enjoy people watching!
(5)Shawn G.
Five stars for: -The restaurant itself. -The hall of mirrors that leads to the bathroom downstairs. Four stars for: -The crab cakes with pickled vegetables. -The friendly, helpful service. Three stars for: -The only Malbec they offer by the glass. -The caesar salad. -The "surf" portion of my wife's Surf and Turf Satay. Two stars for: -Offering so many obscenely expensive bottles of wine, and so few wines by the glass period. -My burger. I probably wouldn't have eaten it if I weren't so hungry. One star for: -The "turf" portion of my wife's Surf and Turf Satay; Medium Rare does not equal Well Done, people. -The "burger" portion of my burger; Again, Medium Rare does not equal Well Done, people. -The price (for a place calling itself a "pub.") M's Pub wasn't a bad experience. The place itself is gorgeous on the inside, though a bit cramped on the patio. Unfortunately the food didn't deliver on the promise the decor made. We enjoyed some portions of our meal, but were very underwhelmed by others. Truth be told, I would probably give the place two stars on the basis of the food and its price alone... but the service, ambiance, and offer of free dessert over our overcooked meals (which we declined) bring M's up to a three. I wouldn't go back based on the meal we had there, but unlike my review of Crave, I feel like at M's we were just there on an off night. I think that they could give us a great meal if we gave them another chance, and that just might happen, though not for a little while.

Only been to the restaurant once and I'm glad I attended after reading the great reviews. This is a proper Saturday night dinner treat. The place was packed which was a good sign, fortunately I had a reservation. Even on a busy night the service was on point. The escargot was great, bit too much cheese but still fresh for the Midwest. We had the Daily Market Special which was fresh Hawaiian Sun Fish, lightly fried in a skillet placed on top of a potato pancake spiced with fresh paprika. The fish was complimented with a light mango sauce and fresh garden green beans. The dish worked on so many levels from the spicy potato to the fresh fish down to the sweet mango sauce. It was bloody amazing. This is the place to go for a upscale but still unpretentious meal experience. We will be back!

"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" ... In Omaha Just kidding. Thanks to Yelp, we walked to this street of restaurants and ended up here. Seriously, if you do not like this place, there are a ton of great, unique restaurants all around here. It might have been the incredible weather, but for a Monday night, this place was packed. The menu is diverse, and the specials list was even more impressive than the standard fare. We started off with a combo-appetizer of escargot and shrimp. It came in a standard escargot dish, but instead of just butter, the app has a coating of cheese (Gruyere?). It was good and unique, but based on the cheese, I would not order it again. I had the M-Pub house salad, which was my favorite thing I ordered. The cucumber salad dressing was perfect, light and did not seem fattening like some creamy dressings are. Nice touches were the sunflower seeds and grated cheese. By the time the entree came, I figured out this place likes cheese. I ordered the Omaha Lavache (sp) - basically, shaved roast beef, sauteed onions and mushrooms on top of cheese on a flat-cracker. It was good - a neat twist on pizza. The potions were adequate and not overwhelming. Service was excellent, with the server providing recommendations that helped, as well as accommodating our requests.

Average, totally average, BUT it's pretty convinced it is perfection incarnate. I've probably been here a half a dozen times, always thinking it will be great this visit! It's a beautiful place, the atmosphere is quite lovely, classy, a great downtown chic spot. But that's probably the most impressive element of Ms. The food is good for the most but definitely not amazing and I've actually had a couple of specials that were pretty bad (especially considering the price). It's the host/hostess service that is really frustrating. The last few times I've been, I've ALWAYS gotten static at the door. Either no one was there to greet us for maybe 5 minutes, or the person would barely speak to us, offering very little in the way of a greeting and definitely making me feel unwanted as a customer. This is both with AND without a reservation.

Atmosphere was good. Service was so-so. Margarita was mostly tequila and no flavor. Beer selection was tiny.
(2)John M.
All I have to say is, wow. I have been into M's twice now, and both times walked away very very impressed. I had special steak with mashed potatoes and greens the first time and a salad the next - both showed up quickly and the quality is beyond comparison in Omaha thus far. Parking can be tough. I will write a more thorough review when I have been there a few more times.

M's Pub is a nice little place with some mirror walls. Was in Omaha and my coworker did not want to go out so I went out walking and decided to give this place a try. Menu is pretty unique and prices a little high, but good is pretty decent. On the special's menu they had some steak and other options, but the appetizers caught my eye. I had the diver scallops with duck prosciutto, quail egg, and some bread type thing. It was smaller than I thought as I only got about two scallops each with a little piece of the duck and the egg fried over easy on top. One of the scallops was on top of the bread type item. It was really good and had great flavor and sear, but it cost more than the burger I had for my meal. They do give you a roll with butter that was warm and really pretty good. My entree was the burger that is local beef that they actually cooked medium rare. The bun was nice and overall a good burger but nothing really special about it though. I did not like how the mustard and ketchup came in little condiment containers for you to put on. It looked like basic French's mustard which was sad for a place like this. I got the spinach salad instead of the regular salad which was small, but had good flavor and bacon dressing is pretty good (bacon does that to things). Service was really good, and food came at proper times which was nice, but was a little slow between appetizer and main course. This is a place I want to try some more times when I am in Omaha. For now it is about a 3.5 star place so 4 stars rounded up. Cook the food well, but it lacks some flavor touches that would make it great. Will have to update when I try some other dishes like the pizzas I saw others eating.

Pros: Good location, ambiance Cons: The food, the hype, pretty much everything else M's Pub is good, don't get me wrong, but like much of the Old Market, it's overhyped and overrated. Now before you stone me for my thoughts, let me explain. Anytime you talk to someone about Omaha, they will tell you go to the Old Market and zoo. I agree the zoo is something special, and the Old Market does have some charm, but it isn't as great as everyone makes it out to be. It has mostly above average eateries and bars, and M's Pub fits in that category. The food is typical pub faire with some twists here and there. iIt's loud and it's pretty crammed inside. On the other hand, if you are new to Omaha or visiting, it's a good place to see action and activity. M's is definitely becoming somewhat of a tourist trap, and I'm getting a little nervous because of that. Not a bad place to eat, but not this amazing place either.
(3)Jennifer H.
If you have to try one thing, try the Salmon Mousse. It is absolutely amazing. Served with red onion, artichoke hearts, dill sauce, hard boiled egg and homemade cracker...it is incredible!!
(5)Meridith G.
I love the Greek Sandwich and their home made salad dressing but I am not a fan of their Spinach Salad. It was very oily and lacked flavor. Their Lahvosh has good flavors but is dry and usually luke warm to cold. Also the extra charge for take out is a little ridiculous. I am mixed on most of the other dishes I have tried but I will keep going back for the Greek Sandwich.

I can't believe I forgot to review this place, this was such an adventure. When a bunch of us were driving through Nebraska, we were determined to find a steak house. You know how we associate Omaha with steaks:-D After getting some directions from national car rental place, we decided to ditch the downtown area for this old market area. We ended up getting very lost anyway in some trailer park neighborhood with the same street numbers near the airport. It took us almost an hour to get here from the airport first time around. It really should have been about 10-15 minutes. When we finally got to this nifty little street, we saw life sign for the first time in Omaha. It was a bit weird to be driving on empty streets in a city in the middle of a work day. We were happy to see people. There weren't too many, but civilization was well appreciated. Of course, beers on tap were very welcome as well. When I was trying to order, the waiter insisted that there are better things to order than steaks, so I took his advise and ordered buffalo chicken soup and a lamb burger. The buffalo chicken soup was excellent. Who would have thought having buffalo sauce and bleu cheese in the soup would taste this good? Now the lamb burger....it was my first encounter with a lamb burger of any kind. This was heavenly. The last time I enjoyed a burger this much, I was sinking my teeth into a juicy kobe burger in black and blue (in Buffalo) and getting my foodgasm. This tasted completely different of course. The meat had a perfect blend of fatty minced lamb and spices. It was freshly pressed and cooked to perfect medium rare. This was truly exceptional. Now, you might wonder why it's missing a star from being exceptional? Well, on the way back, we decided to stop here again. You guessed it. I ordered lamb burger again. Instead of a medium rare lamb burger, they served me a well done lamb burger. It was still excellent and tasty, but it was such a waste for the meat:( I also found an interesting trick I never noticed. The waitress had the bartender pour me a local draft beer. Then she decided to shoot the doo doo with other for a good 10 minutes while the beer gets warm. Now, good beers are perfect fine in room temperature, but this was just um.....ok, it needed to be chilled. Maybe it doesn't need to be as chilled as coors light or heinny, but it needed to be cold. Anyway, it was just sitting there getting warm. Finally she decided to bring it over. She took a straw and stir it to create some bubbles and brought the beer over as if it still has some head. I was not amused to say the least. That was pretty funny, but I was too tired and thirsty to even make a comment about it. It's just too bad the food and the service can be so inconsistent. This could have been an awesome must visit place.

This is my favorite restaurant in Omaha, period. A good date spot, a good business dinner place, a good place to take friends etc. Etc.... epic service and food. Prices are spot on. I LOVE this restaurant
(5)Sylvie S.
Came here for lunch and thought it could easily be one of those overrated downtown tourist traps. Instead, I was suitably impressed with the great ambiance, service, and food. More of a French bistro than pub, the lunch menu was extensive ranging from Thai-inspired chicken satay to steak salad. Service was attentive - water was quickly refilled despite having our own carafe at the table. And the food... it was unexpectedly good. I tried the buffalo chicken soup, it was amazing. A creamy puree of all the flavors in buffalo chicken wings, studded with chunks of chicken, then topped with bleu cheese. The spinach salad with bacon dressing had the perfect balance of smokiness from the bacon crumbles and sweet/sour from the dressing, without any greasiness. I have a feeling you probably get the best value at lunch. It's about $10-15/person. Dinner prices are more than double. The place gets crowded quickly, so go early.
(4)Jimmy H.
Went here for lunch and ate at the bar. Service was good. Pricing is appropriate as the quality is good. Enjoyed the food. Seems to be a lunch hangout for ladies.
(4)Jonathan H.
On a recent visit I was a bit disappointed and here is why. Normally we stick to the standard appetizer, salad, sandwich, and light entree menu. We were celebrating a birthday so a splurge was OK. My wife ordered off the dinner special menu and was completely unsatisfied with here dish (as was I.) She ordered a halibut dish for $34. That is some serious coin in our book. The dish arrived as described on the menu but lacked flavor of any kind. Don't get me wrong, the fish was perfectly cooked and being halibut, I already knew that particular fish didn't have a ton of natural flavor. Everything else was great as usual including the service (which goes a long way in my book.) Is that worth knocking it down a star... maybe, maybe not. But for this reviewer, spending $34 and getting an extremely bland dish is just not acceptable. From now on we will just stick to the regular menu and I know I can add that star right back. Cheers.

lavash is a must.

I wish I could eat cheese without consequences. Me: "So would it be pointless to order the M's Baked Dishes if I asked to hold the cheese?" Waiter: "Yeah, basically." Me: "So what about the lahvosh? Would it defeat the purpose of the dish if I asked for no cheese on that too." Waiter: "Yeah." I ended up getting the vegetarian special and the artichoke appetizer. I forgot how much a pain in the butt it is to eat a whole artichoke. Sucking on the artichoke leaves to get that little bit of meat is probably not worth the effort. I forgot what to do when you get towards the middle, so I asked my waiter and he was extremely helpful. The vegetarian special was pretty good. I had to get it without the Romano cheese basket but apparently it's not as integral a part of the meal, so the waiter let me order it. :) The way they seasoned the grilled baguette was absolutely amazing. The combination of different types of mushrooms was also pretty interesting. I'm glad they had a couple of microbrew options on tap (in addition to Bud Light and some other mass market brew). Prices are very reasonable, especially for the non-specials.

Like Mary Poppins, M's Pub is practically perfect in every way! I was in Omaha for a visit last weekend and fell so in love with this place that I ended up there on three separate occasions. What did I love about it? Atmosphere: The space is simply gorgeous. It's charming, tasteful, warm and inviting - an effortless blend of up-scale and casual that makes everyone feel at home. Food: I had the falafel dinner and it was delicious! The falafel patties are nicely spiced and the veggies were crisp and fresh. M's has a nice choice of vegetarian options and it looked like quite a few could be easily veganized, which I always appreciate! Drinks: I had 2 cocktails that were among the best I have had in a while - the first is their take on a Manhattan and the second was the M's Toddy. Delicious! They also have a nice beer and wine selection. Service: One word - impeccable. The bartenders and waitstaff were incredibly friendly. They remembered my friend and I and made a point to say hello on our subsequent visits. Table service was just right - our server was present when we needed him without stopping by too often. They employ some of the nicest (and most attractive!) people around. I adore M's and will be stopping by on all future visits to Omaha!
(5)Josh C.
I have to confess right off the bat that in my multiple visits to M's Pub, I've only ordered one thing: the Omaha lavosh -- a sort of giant flatbread cracker topped with roast beef in a horseradish cream sauce. I've tried other people's food (at my table, I mean-- places tend to kick me out when I walk around asking for samples from strangers) and always found it to be exemplary, but M's is known for their lavosh, and it's easy to see why. (And by the way, if the Omaha doesn't sound like your thing, don't worry -- there are many different lavosh toppings on the menu.) Food aside, there is a good wine list and a full bar. If you ask anybody from Omaha to list the best places to eat here, M's is bound to be near the top of the list every time. The only complaints I've ever heard all have to do with waits for tables or occasionally slow service, but since this is probably the busiest place in the city and it's been packed every time I've been there, I think those are both just the inevitable result of the restaurant's own popularity. Do not be deterred; waits are the sign of something worth waiting for.
(5)Jonathan F.
I have been coming to this place for 28 years. Although I no longer live in Omaha, nor do I visit this spot as frequently as I once did, I make it a point to stop in to see what's new or if anything has drastically changed. I am happy to report, No! M's Pub is still a damn good place to eat or meet up with friends for a few (or many) drinks. The food is just as good today, if not better than it was all those years ago. And even though I have changed, what, with more hair now gone and the face slightly worn from wear, the faces behind the bar & staff still recognize and welcome me as an old friend. For those of you that want a home away from home, this has always been the place. For me ... it's always nice to go home.
(5)Pepper P.
Best value for money in Omaha. The selection is large, service is very good, the wine and cocktail selection adequate and well informed. Everything that has come out of their kitchen, well prepared, fresh and delicious. The hamburger is juicy charred bacon-ey goodness and their seared salmon is divine. If you like it cooked all the way through, better tell 'em. I like mine rare. This will be your first choice for well informed, semi-elegant dining.
(5)Lindsay D.
So here's the deal: I'm from out of town and EVERYBODY was like, "YOU HAVE GOT TO GO TO M's IF YOU GO ANYWHERE." My friend and I seriously waited for a 9:15 dinner reservation because we were convinced this place would knock our socks off. But from the get-go, we just weren't impressed. The menu was all over the place. You could get anything from a ribeye to a corn dog. We asked our server (who was very friendly) what she might recommend, and she gave a confused look and suggested like 25 things...not helpful! They also had an enormous wine list (plus), but the menu was kind of greasy and there were a lot of typos (minus). Our meals were totally edible, but just standard fare - nothing that really impressed. The house salad was ENORMOUS but made with cheap iceberg lettuce. The place was PACKED so clearly everyone likes the place, but if someone were to ask me where to eat if they only have a couple nights in town, this one would not have been on my list. We were treated well, but the menu needs a serious retooling.
(2)Natasha S.
I couldn't have asked for a finer finale than: Black Bean Cakes. Expecting culinary underwhelmment* in downtown Omaha, NE, instead we got flavorful blackened shrimp in a generous salad topped with sizable avocado slices and these oh my g black bean cakes, a soul satisfying huge thick steak and mashed potatoes, a brimming over extra dirty ketel one martini and embarrassingly great service at embarrassingly reasonable prices. I long for Omaha. And really, why the f*ck not. * media.merriamwebster.com… . Use it!
(4)Philip S.
Might be my favorite place to dine in Omaha. I really recommend it. Food is delicious. Servers have always been polite. I have always been seated pretty quickly. Check it out.
(5)G T.
Was recommended this place by three different locals when I was visiting. It did not disappoint. Located in the Old Market district of town. Ruben sandwich, the soup of the day( I forgot what it was but it was great) and a little "gourmet side salad that came with the sandwich were fantastic, and I drink lots of iced tea and the refills were seamless. Great service as well.
(5)Kristin P.
Checked M's Pub out at lunch one day...loved it! Loved the atmosphere, the friendly service and the food was great too. My favorites: the brie appetizer and the baked dishes...can you say yummy, cheezy goodness?! And I love that they not only serve the escargot baked dish in an escargot plate...but also the other two are served in them as well, the mushroom and shrimp baked dish. Perfectly baked and perfectly delicious! :) And, it's located in Old Market...love this area.!
(4)Audrey C.
When all other date spots are too busy or closed this is my husbands and my go to place. We've never had a bad experience. Consistently good, and good rotation on their daily specials. The tuna melt is incredible! And the stand by for us. It's easy to see why this place has been so successful for so many years in the Old Market.
(5)Rick A.
EXCELLENT SERVICE!! We came here on the recommendation of a colleague. The food was good, the atmosphere was open and fun... the service was excellent! They found us a table without a reservation, the waiter was entertaining and engaged us in conversation, he was informative and offered suggestions, and he was very attentive. At the end of our evening, my wife left her purse. We had a 6am flight out the next morning and didn't realize until then. I called M's Pub from Seattle that afternoon, talked to the manager who took my information, verified my name and address with the ID in the purse, then took the purse to a FedEx office for us and shipped it back to us in Seattle! Above and beyond!
(5)Colleen L.
Only disappointment is the prices. Great food, very friendly service, and lovely outdoor seating in the summer (prime location apparently - hard to sit outside and not run into people you know). I really enjoy this place whether its a date night dinner, or just a bottle of wine and dessert for a girls night out.
(4)holly f.
For a $17 salad I expected it to be more. Wasn't bad, I was just hugry when I left. They were really busy. So busy that I noticed food sitting waiting to be delivered and their phone ringing unanswered the entire time. Kind of annoying to listen to but maybe they were short staffed?
(3)Shin M.
The interior was a little nicer than the average pub. Our server was really friendly. I got the lamb burger based on re recommendation of our server. It was really dry and didn't have much flavor.... Didn't even try to finish it even though I wasn't full. The dressing on the salad was too sweet too. My dad got the prime rib. It was pretty good but there was a lot of fat on it. I don't think id come back...
(2)Meron G.
Delicious Lavosh and friendly bartenders. They were extremely but took very good care of us.
(5)Andrew C.
Terrific bartender. Known for their martinis, I ordered a ginger martini. He quickly made a tasty drink. Order the turkey burger if you're in a casual mood. Very good with a small side salad. Cool, popular place in Old Market.
(4)Dave C.
The building was very open and vintage looking. Everything was very clean. The service was good. The reason for a 3 star is that the meat was tough. Both the tenderloin and the ribeye were a challenge to chew. This is expected from a cheap chain but not for a $39. ribeye. I asked the waitress what quality of beef they served. She didn't know but went to the kitchen to find out. Nobody in the kitchen knew because the main cook had already left for the evening.
(3)Dave B.
I admit from the start that I don't get what people see in this place. I've visited yearly or so for 15 years and I still don't get it. Tight little room with average food. This last time the reuben was ok, but I can do better at several little bars around town for much less money. My wife's salad was Appleby's level with weak dressing. The kicker was the scotch and water. It was made with water that had been poured through the shadow of an empty bottle of scotch. Absolutely the weakest mixed drink I have ever paid for, and I have paid for many thousands. M's, I just don't get you.
(2)Royal B.
M's really is an Omaha standard when it comes to both food and service. Great food that has flavor and flair. Service that is comfortable and attentive. This is not comfort food, this is GOOD food people! Yes, you will spend a little more for both food and service, and worth every dollar.
(5)Phil P.
M's is a spot I could eat at daily. The menu is very diverse and has something for everyone. Check it to see for yourself. Service was good, but the food was great!
(4)Alison H.
Ordered the wild boar chops that were over cooked. I was excited not only for the chops but for the rice and sauce it came in. I was super underwhelmed and should have complained.
(2)Andrea T.
One of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. Great food. I love ordering the salmon pate (it's been a while since I was there, hopefully it's still on the menu), and their spinach or warm duck salads are good too. Nice ambiance. I love seeing M's at Christmas time when they have that huge reef, along with all the other pretty decorations. If you're going for dinner, I would recommend making a reservation, as it can get pretty busy and you might have a long wait if you don't.
(5)Bill W.
Okay; catching up on a couple prior check-ins - M's Pub being one of them worth commenting on. I'm not going to go into detail and provide specifics about every morsel of food and beverage put in front of me.....just know I go here whenever I am in Omaha. I purposely took a later flight to Mpls. just so I could spend a Happy Hour here...there you go!
(5)Jeannie H.
Favorite restaurant in Omaha! Tiramisu is to die for. Thai Lavosh. I get the same things every time because they're so good! The service is usually good, but I get the occasional sub-par ones. The food makes up for it. Leah is the best!
(5)The K.
Location, atmosphere, food and staff were all great. However, it took 35 minutes to get two salads and a cheese & cracker platter - not sure what went wrong there. We went in after the lunch-time rush and the place was pretty empty, so it's not like the staff was saturated with other orders and such. Other than the wait, we loved it and will return.
(4)Sara P.
I travel a lot to Omaha for work, and have now made M's a permanent in the list of restaurants to hit while on my travels. I've yet to have anything that disappoints. The food is always fresh, and somewhat healthy. I recently had the blackened shrimp salad with the black bean cake. I don't know what it is, but it's super yum. I've also had the mediterranean chicken salad and the cobb. Friends have had their lavash and said they're amazing, as well as the falafel sandwich. Falafel that's not fried? Sign me up.
(4)Michael L.
I had a steak sandwich and a Fat Tire at the bar. Both were excellent. Even at 10 pm on a Tuesday, the place was full. Definitely go here if you are in Omaha.
(4)Jenn S.
I wanted to love this place but it was just ok. I think I was so over excited for my steak but I was sorta let down. Don't get me wrong it was a hell of a steak but I've had better. The mashed potatoes that came with the steak were ok just a little bland. I was watching other people get their food and I saw some good stuff come out so I'm thinking I just chose the wrong thing. But really how could I not get a steak in Omaha. I did love the drinks, I got a strawberry ginger martini and it was amazing. It went down wayyyy too easy. The place itself is very cute and lively.
(3)Deb K.
The menu is so diverse and the food is as fresh as can be. Such great stuff, you want to go right home and see if you can duplicate it...but you come up a little short. Excellent ambiance, energetic, fun vibe. When there's live music, it's heavenly in this place. Staff and wait team are attentive and very helpful. Great date place or with friends. There is just something very cool and nostalgic about this place, but in a hip way.
(5)Holly B.
My rare steak was more medium-rare, but still good. My husband's lavosh pizza (spinach) was fabulous. If you like thin crust, you will really enjoy the way they do it here. Inspired. Oh, and I really like the local Belgian wheat beer. Great service. Kind of noisy inside, maybe it is the high ceilings. Loved eating outside and people watching.
(4)Emily C.
Great food, great location, great service! Go check this place out! :)
(4)James M.
Very middle of the road. Went with a large party, and while they were able to accommodate us, there was kind of a meh attitude towards us. Not sure why. I had a cocktail, a "something pig". Sounded interesting. Kind of underwhelmed, though. And after trying a table mate's version of the same drink, we realized that they tasted like 2 completely different drinks. So not very consistent. I did like our lavosh. My burger was pretty basic. Definitely a popular spot on the drag, but definitely pretty average. My hope is that there are other better places nearby, as the neighborhood has a great vibe to it.
(3)Evelyn W.
I love M's pub, always great consistent food and good service. I love how classy the enviornment is and the prices are not over the top expensive.
(5)Bill K.
Stepping into this warm, friendly and sort-of-hip place in Omaha's wonderful Old Market, it's no wonder M's has a solid four stars with 132 yelp reviews. The food was great, the atmosphere was comfortable and bustling like any great place should be, the food, beer and wine was top-notch. Servers were all super-nice and attentive. As usual, I sat at the bar, since I was on business and had no one to share a table with. But I had a fine dinner at the bar, and realized I'd found a great place within a short walk of the Hilton and the Qwest Center... I'll be back.
(5)Eliana C.
Prices were a bit high compared to the quality. We sat at the bar while waiting for a table on a Tuesday night (9 pm) and overheard the waiter bad mouthing a Chicago customer who he had a bad experience with. I tuned him out , very unproffessional. Once we got to the table we ordered the Omaha and Parma lahvosh and two soups, a spinach soup and Thai chicken soup. Both soups tasted bland. The Omaha Lahvosh tasted a bit burnt and the Parma was too salty for my taste (my bf loved it). The dinner rolls were a bit dry and hard to rip apart. I had a pleasant experience with our waitress, but the food won't have me come back next time I visit.
(2)Jefferson L.
Ordered the Tuscan Lahvosh. Similar to pepperoni pizza. I felt a bit unsure about ordering such a creative dish in the land of red meat. But I was not disappointed. It's basically a super thin and crispy pizza. They do 'em in a dozen different flavor combinations including Thai and seafood. I had wonderful service served up by Scott - the bald guy with not one, but two earrings. Space is a nice commingling of bar and restaurant. Perfect for a first date. Outdoor covered patio. Open late. Their computer system is programmed slightly wrong and they over-charge the tax on your bill. I mentioned that, and Scott said he'd work on it.
(5)Matt W.
Ate here once so far on a recommendation. The boss man didn't steer me wrong! Lamb burger was awesome, very juicy and tender. Throw in a draft pint and I was out the door for $21 including 18% tip.
(4)Maggie F.
The buffalo chicken soup was fabulous! Love the location, the food is delicious, but the service could have been better. It was slow even though it wasn't crowded & I had to work REALLY hard at getting my waitress to notice me. Not good, lol! For that reason I can't give this more than 3 stars. Feeling frustrated & slightly embarrassed doesn't go well with lunch :)
(3)Christine B.
Wound up at Ms Monday night after commencement at the Qwest. Had the daily special...homemade rotini with four cheese and bread crumbs. Yup, fancy mac'n'cheese. This addition to my review is to give you the heads up....if it's on the menu, order it. The rest of our meal? The shrimp was cooked well, the pesto was so-so (a change in pasta and a pinch of salt would do wonders), the buffalo chicken soup was tasty (but lukewarm), the creme brulee was burnt. But the mac'n'cheese...ate it up like a fat girl before a famine.
(3)John Y.
Hmmm... a very mixed review. I walked in on a gloomy, rainy day, so the place felt very soothing and inviting. We started with the Thai lavosh. Never heard of such a thing until I came to Nebraska. It was quite good; I'd define it more generally as "Asian" rather than specifically Thai. But my lunch itself was underwhelming. I ordered a turkey reuben that was served very limp and spongy. Gross. I got it with a side spinach salad, which was OK. So if you go, I recommend ordering something else. There are lots of other options on the menu.

Been here twice since and the food is delicious. The service is good. The mushrooms or shrimp or escargot (whatever you prefer, or have one of each) smothered in garlic butter and melted Havarti cheese is the best appetizer I've ever had!!! Slight issues encountered on my first visit were not experienced on subsequent visits. The food is very good and the menu is extensive. Could I eat the aforementioned appetizers all night? Absolutely! If friends come to Omaha, M's Pub is a must stop.

Great pub, nice beers, and the best burgers in the Old Market. Very nice service, ambiance and professional staff...great place.

I was very happy with M's Pub tonight. My wife and I went out on date night. We called the day of and they were able to get us reservations. Our waitress was awesome. She offered some opinions on the menu that were spot on. I started with one of there martinis. It was very good but was very sweet. I definitely ordered a girlie drink and didn't realize it. I switched to an old fashioned afterward to secure my manhood. I ordered the house salad as a side and it was great. The veg was fresh and lush with a dill dressing that does not over power. For mains my wife ordered the chicken Caesar and I ordered the wagyu beef cheeks. Our meals arrived and my wife had a Caesar with steak instead of chicken. She didn't want to complain to she started to eat it. Our waitress came by and noticed the server brought the wrong salad. So, she just boxed up the correct one to take home. No problem, no charge. By beef cheeks were off the chain. Think the most tender flavorful pot roast, but more, you can think of. We had a great meal and date night. We will return.

Always fantastic! We had a really amazing dinner at M's last night. This is probably the 100th amazing dinner I've had there over the last 20 years. I can't believe this is my first review. Talk about making them work for it. This place is so consistently lovely. These days it seems like the food and service quality is all about the 'turnover' but at Ms it never seems to matter. The service is always great and the food is always amazing. Last night we had the escargot, shrimp scampi, Thai chicken flatbread, tuna melt, Cobb salad, surf and turf. ..hmmm, wine, beer and great company. Couldn't have been better!

I have dined here, over the years , probably more than 60 times. This may be my last. I am sad to say, they are losing their touch: 1) the tables themselves no longer feature white table cloths. They are now just beat up wood tops that need a good scrubbing. 2) the noise level is ridiculous. They make no attempt at softening the acoustics, so I could hear the women in the corner screaming at her kids like they were one inch from me. So that's no fun. The brick walls and hard surfaces need some noise absorbing treatments, it would be a much calmer experience if you could talk to the others at your table while you eat. And also hear some nice cool Jazz. They are lacking in the mood department. It's just not how they do it in New York, Chicago, LA anymore, they soften the noise so people can relax. 3) when we were handed the menus for both wine and food, they literally stuck to our fingers. They are absolutely filthy. My sister and I looked at the plastic sleeves that held the TORN paper menus, and we were so skeeved out. If they don't wipe down and clean/change their menus, then how worried should we be regarding the cleanliness of the rest of the operation? 4) the food is ok, nothing great. I had the black bean appetizer and it had a zesty sauce on it that was not so great. It covered up the tastes of the bean cakes so I scraped it off. My sister had a fish dish, and there was a piece of chicken on her plate next to the fish. Yuk. my mom had a salad, and it was just ok. We asked for some gluten free appetizers, as my sister is allergic to wheat, and they said they don't have anything like that. Wow,that is really behind the times. 5) after telling them my sister is gluten intolerant, they served us all bread. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, our waitress. 6) my sister made the long trek downstairs to the bathroom, and she reported back that there was a bucket under the sink, catching the drippy water from the pipes. Gordon Ramsey would really give this place a tongue lashing. Sad, but I can't support them if they can't even wipe down their menus. I would hate to see a black light shined inside this restaurant. Ewwww.

Did the ribeye...no regrets! Drinks were on point and the service was respectable. I would recommend sitting at the bar as it tends to get busy.
(4)Marc D.
I am updating my review as my more recent visit was very impressive. Service was attentive. right on point and fabulous. we started with an app. shrimp bake with butter and cheese in an escargot dish. (yummy) we tried both of the soups one was a cold mango soup and was amazing the clam chowder was ok. Now for the change. I had the surf and turf with basmati and it was fabulous. the shrimp was cooked perfectly tender and well seasoned. the steak was seasoned very well. very tender. My wife had the thai lavosh and it was as perfect as the dish can be with each element fresh and amazing. I am now a fan and am looking forward to going back again. :)

You have not experienced Omaha if you haven't experienced M's Pub. M's has, for decades, been the go-to culinary war horse in the Old Market, where patrons can always rely on a great afternoon or evening out. There's something for everybody at M's, whether you are a strict Vegan or a bloodthirsty carnivore. And the menu caters to budgets of any size. There's always a fun crowd living it up at M's, with a mood that is festive enough for a party, yet intimate enough for a romantic date night. It's an interesting menu, to say the least. For example, Vegans and vegetarians alike rave about the Carrot Dog. From the menu, it's a marinated and grilled carrot served on a whole wheat hoagie with lettuce, tomato, relish, stone ground mustard and sauerkraut. I must say I was really skeptical when I first heard about it. For one, I loathe cooked carrots. And secondly, I mean, c'mon -- a carrot in a bun for $6.50? But it's actually delicious, and with the small salad that accompanies it, it's a decent amount of food -- great value for your money. M's Lahvosh is also very popular and among my more favorite dishes. An Armenian pizza of sorts, M's offers at least eight different varieties. I pretty much like them all, so it's hard to choose, but I would say the most unique is the Thai version, made with grilled chicken, tomatoes, scallions, peanuts, basil, cilantro and Thai pepper sauce. If you're like me and you don't live in the area and have never eaten a whole artichoke, definitely try this when you come to M's. Cooked to utter perfection and served with drawn butter, lemon basil aioli and curried mayonnaise, each flower bud you pick off and eat is a little slice of heaven. As someone who was born in NYC and recently moved out of a heavily Italian area of Brooklyn, I really enjoy M's hot Italian sandwich when I'm spending a week in Omaha. It's a slightly more gourmet version of a classic Italian sub, made with pepperoni, capicola, salami and provolone on herb toasted sourdough, and served with warm tomato-basil dipping sauce. It's delicious and makes me feel like I'm right at home. The only miss I've had here recently was a special pork cheek manicotti. I'm not a huge manicotti fan to begin with, but it sounded interesting. But like most manicotti, the ricotta was just too overwhelming for the taste of the pork cheek to come through, and the tomato sauce didn't hold up too well, either. But truth be told, my favorite reason to come to M's is the cocktails and the service at the bar. The bartenders here are very friendly and excel at their trade. The bar sits right in the middle of all the action and is a great place to people watch, especially if you're like me and dine alone from time to time. Without a doubt, Omaha would not be Omaha, and the Old Market wouldn't be nearly as charming if it weren't anchored down by M's Pub. M's will always be in the rotation when I am working out of Omaha, and I always look forward to coming back for more.
(4)Jessica S.
I really like M's Pub's food. I am a huge tuna melt person and there's is amazing. They are a little more on the pricier side, but, overall, there food is worth it. I haven't not sampled their alcohol. They are usually busy and calling ahead for a reservation is recommended.
(4)R S.
From the carrot dog to the M's Burger, this place is delicious. Do it.
(5)Sarina P.
I was here years ago and it was excellent. It is a fine dining establishment and prices aren't too bad. They have an expansive menu and great drinks (which bumped this from 1 star to 2 not to mention service was good). However I cannot give them anymore stars because the food was just not good. I chose Indian Lamb satay. Asked for medium. It came out medium well, tough, and a big piece of fat on a couple of the strips. My friend ordered the flat iron steak with mashed potatoes. They couldn't eat all the steak and gave me a bite. It was also ordered at medium and cooked medium well. It was OK. Not bad like the lamb. The mashed potatoes I was told were good. For a drink - margarita or sangria (w/o soda and instead a bit of St Germaine atop) were both excellent. I may be back for a drink in the future. But that's all.
(2)Jay R.
Amazing restaurant! I went with my family to celebrate Father's Day and the food was so delicious. We had lavash as an appetizer and enjoyed it thoroughly. I ordered the lamb with a spinach salad and it was great, very tender! Also, the ragout the lamb was served with was tasty--it had a spicy flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant; my whole family was incredibly impressed & next time we're in Omaha we will be coming back.
(5)Misty M.
The outdoor seating here was nice on a late August evening, so we stopped. We each had good steaks--my chipotle/coffee-rubbed ribeye was better than my husband's strip, but both were delicious. The mashed potatoes under the steaks were a teensy bit dry but tasty. The wine was superb but a tad too warm--room temp on an 85-degree night--and their wine is supposedly their calling card. And the waiter was nice but acted like he had too many cups of coffee, hyper and interrupting and talking too fasting. All in all, not quite excellent but extremely good!
(4)John C.
Fantastic escargot and flourless chocolate torte. I also like the roast beef sandwich. Classic decor. Fine menu. House Merlot is reasonable and decent otherwise wines are a little high. Occasionally service can be a little off when they are busy. Otherwise a gem in the Old Market.
(5)Liz P.
My fiancé and I walked in. A woman approached us and asked "Can I help you"? I immediately thought that this was strange since when I normally enter a restaurant, an employee asks "How many [are in your party]"? The woman/ hostess? went to find out how long it would take to seat the two of us. She came back and said "Eight. You can sit at the bar if you would like." Neither of us were sure if she meant the wait was eight hours or if the first available table was at 8 (we arrived at approximately 6pm). We decided to take a seat at the bar. Once we sat at the bar we did not get service immediately. We were finally served by a man with a ponytail and a Monopoly tie. Food was alright. Service was lacking. We continually observed people coming in and the hostesses scrambling to explain their lack of available tables. It seemed as though their system was poorly planned and they heavily relied on their reservations. The Downtown area seemed as though many people were from out of town and were likely to walk into this establishment (rather than previously plan and reserve a table). Overall, the place seemed unnecessarily uptight, We still love Omaha despite this fucking place.
(1)Anita C.
popped in for a late night snack and a night cap. I was pleasantly surprised when I asked the bartender (Chad) what he would recommend, and he was able to pick something off of each section of the menu. No hesitation just genuine opinions of what he liked on the menu. Being from California I can appreciate local supporting locally grown everything and M's happens to do that so my inner flower child was happy too! I ended up ordering the soup of the day and the Fresca cocktail simple but filling. **side note regarding professionalism: while we were there there was a women who had had a a very festive evening and she was overtly hitting on Chad. A little annoying even as a patron. Chad was even keel and engaging without being rude, when he easily cold have been. ***

I fell in love with M's Pub, years ago. I even remember the first time I went with a group of friends for a late night dinner on Valentine's Day. The lavosh. I've been a fan ever since. Since Omaha is picking up the pace on a variety of restaurants, my visits are less frequent. So, when a friend suggested we go for dinner, I was pretty happy since I hadn't been there since Christmas time. I made a reservation and our table was ready. Right in front of the window. Excellent. Either the bar or in front are my preferred seating. We ordered the Thai lavosh, which I don't think I had before. It had grilled chicken, tomatoes, cilantro, havarti, Thai sweet chili sauce and peanuts on Armenian cracker. Great flavors, light but still filling. We are every bite. For my entrée I ordered the crab cakes. They're seared and served over pickled veggies and topped with sweet chili aioli. Usually they're more firm and a nice golden sear on the outside, but this was pretty mushy and way too much aioli. The pickled veggies were perfect. I still ate the entire meal despite the mushiness of both crab cakes. Our service was great. Waters immediately, drinks came out in a reasonable time, considering it was a full house. Appetizer came out in ten minutes. Pretty impressive I thought. I'll continue coming back here, even if it's only two to three times a year.

My 3 friends and I were looking for a place in downtown Omaha to grab a few drinks on a Friday night on a weekend trip and stumbled upon M's Pub. The ambiance of this place is quite a bit more classy than one would expect before entering. (read: not a casual Irish pub) Didn't get any food-- we grabbed a few stools and hung around the bar. They did have a decent assortment of drinks, and despite our bartender being friendly in general, the service was a bit slow. If we were to ever come back to Omaha, would likely come back and give the food a try-- the reviews do seem pretty enticing!!
(3)Joseph F.
Wonderful for a late night meal or drink. Lovely, chill atmosphere. Server was super friendly and well-versed on the menu. Service was quick and food was delicious. And they have an early and late night happy hour with great specials. Come to M's!
(5)Bob A.
Had lunch with a client and M's pub delivered again. Client had the lamb burger... excellent choice.... and I had the lunch special. Not sure what is was called but it was a sandwich stacked high with ham on fresh baked bread with some kind of white (cream?) gravy over it. Man was it good. Think of a sandwich variety of biscuits and gravy. Not the lightest lunch in the world but darn tasty!
(4)Leslie C.
M's definitely isn't a traditional pub. I agree with the reviewer who compared it to a gastropub: unique, tasty dishes right-sized (perfect for noshing after a long day), fun bartenders. It was the perfect stop for a later-evening dinner for my team the other night. We didn't have a reservation, unfortunately, so our group had to wait at the bar for a bit when we arrived at 7:30pm. We were told 10 minutes, but it was closer to a half hour or so. It's not the server's fault; the party at the table she wanted to seat us at decided to tie up the table way longer than she expected. No worry for us; our bartender was entertaining and friendly. He made some recommendations off the menu, so we were more than prepared when our table finally opened up. I had a basic steak salad which came with a chewy yeast roll. I was intrigued by the satays and the famous carrot dog, but I really just wanted something simple that night. I was not disappointed at all. I also enjoyed the house red (I think it was a cab?) I ordered at the bar. Nothing really stood out, which is why this isn't a five star review. Our waitress seemed a little distracted but took good care of us. But, when I compare this to my other favorites from Omaha - Nicola's, Upstream and Plank - it's hard to really compare fairly. M's is going to be on my rotation for future visits regardless; it's exactly what we were looking for that night, and it suited everyone in our party.
(4)Corey M.
Been here many times over the years. The atmosphere is top notch and the service has always been good. They always have new specials but the main menu seems to not have changed in many years. Today we stopped in for a drink and a snack, ordered the charcuterie board. The meat and cheese tray was mediocre, not a whole lot going on for 15 bucks. Will not let one so-so meal keep me from coming back. The place is always crowded and for good reason. Make sure to order the Thai lavosh.
(4)A. E.
Amanda was our server and she was very sweet and helpful. We ordered the tenderloin chicken salad that comes with artichokes and warm pita bread and it was so delicious. The checking was very well done and very well seasoned. I love it. Also the New York stake is highly recommended. Comes with delicious mashed potatoes.
(5)Seven L.
Disappointed , Everyone said it was the best food in town ... We found it was too hot inside , noisy and the food was just ok nothing special on any of our four plates . So sad
(3)Will S.
M's Pub is one of those hallmark Omaha restaurants. It sets the standard of what a good dining experience should be, complete with good service, an inventive menu and a fantastic atmosphere. That said, it's never been one of my local spots. This was once again exemplified on my most recent visit on a cold Saturday afternoon. It was before the dinner rush, so we were able to grab a table right away. My wife and I split an entree and appetizer -- the vegetarian lahvosh and the black bean cakes. The food was quality (as usual) -- the lahvosh was flavorful and piled high with plenty of great ingredients, especially great was the Havarti cheese holding everything together. The black bean cakes were also quite good. They had a subtle spice to them and paired nicely with the accompanying pickled vegetables. Still, nothing that will blow you away. The oddest part of the meal is that they start you off with a dinner roll and a pad of butter -- kind of Olive Garden-esque. The rolls were good and all but didn't necessarily go well with what we ordered. Still, I was feeling so good about this visit I even tried a house cocktail -- a rum-based concoction called the Sled Runner. Well, the flavors (spiced rum, coconut, house made blackberry bitters, etc.) didn't blend together at all. It just tasted flat. The consistency reminded me of a melted root beer float. For $9, I wish I had bought a couple beers instead. Or just stuck with water. Maybe M's has been around so long it just doesn't impress locals like myself anymore. There are just too many new and more interesting spots to try popping up all over Omaha. Funny thing is that M's is my wife's favorite restaurant in Omaha, so I'm surely coming back soon.
(3)Laura C.
My go to when I'm in the Old Market. It's a habit, albeit a good one! The Baked Brie en Croute is my weakness. And the Escargot dripping with butter and Havarti cheese. And the Thai Chicken Lavosh! So many choices, such a small stomach!
(4)Evan F.
Nice Gastropub down in the old market district. Atmosphere is that of a crowded night spot in a big city with lots of hustle and bustle through the space. We sat at a bar table for our dinner. I ordered the M's Burger which consisted of local ground beef topped with bacon and gruyere on a toasted onion kaiser bun. It was accompanied by a side salad which was light and refreshing. My dinner companions also enjoyed their meals, so I'd give this place the big thumbs up and say give it a try!
(4)Carrie S.
Visiting Omaha for the College World Series means you are always eating in a busy crowded restaurant. M's made us feel right at home without any hustle and bustle. We ate at the bar and enjoyed terrific service from the bartender. I ordered the steak salad and was served a beautiful plate of greens, onions, tomatoes, and perfectly cooked steak. On 2 other visits we enjoyed the Charcuterie Board, and the fish burger which is a grilled Mahi Mahi filet on a bun....outstanding!
(5)Aimee M.
This is a very nice restaurant with good service and good food. The type of people in the pub look rich and fancy. I also like the location of this place. It's very loud here ... So plan according.
(4)Sarah G.
Not a bad option for downtown dining, but M's might not be on my 'go to' list. I was honestly a little disappointed with our most recent dinner here for NYE. Some would say that you shouldn't judge based on a holiday meal, but I think this is when service, drinks and food should absolutely be at their best. Holidays like this and Friday/Saturday nights are when restaurants bring their A-game. And our meal last night fell a little flat. For starters, why at a nice restaurant like this would you charge for extra olives in a martini? Was someone taking advantage of this in the past? I understand that there's probably some labor involved in stuffing the olives with blue cheese - and maybe it's an expensive blue - but when we're spending $30 an entree, is there really call for charging an additional $1 for an extra 2 olives in a martini? Ranting aside, our meals were surprisingly devoid of flavor. Sad because I specifically ordered the Kijiki Marlin because of the description... raspberry-ginger coulis, Israeli couscous and goat cheese? Sign me up for that ride. While I ate all of the fish, I left the couscous relatively untouched as it seemed entirely unseasoned. The green beans were blanched - the way I like them - but also didn't seem to have enough punch for me. Maybe my taste buds were off? Bill had the opposite issue with his entree. The Vermicelli Bowl was entirely too sweet for his liking. And strangely, it was like no vermicelli I've ever seen before. Yes, the description listed 'green curry' but I'd imagined more of a Vietnamese cold rice vermicelli dish and less of a Thai green curry soup. He actually didn't eat it, due to a permeating taste of sweetness that wasn't palatable at all. This dish was graciously taken off our ticket with no questions asked. Appetizers were the highlight (and the warm rolls... a bag of which I seriously considered sneaking out of the coat closet). We started with the Chicken and Waffles, though I was much more impressed by the Foie Gras Parfait. Confusing name notwithstanding, it was more of a spreadable pate served with grilled bread. Huge wow factor there. And for obvious bonuses of location, ambiance and service, I'll definitely dine at M's again. It just probably won't be at my suggestion.

We are from LA and are spoiled out there with fantastic restaurants. I can get a bit snobby about food joints. Eight members of my family and I were needing a nice spot to eat that was kid friendly. I liked that the menu had so many great options but the yelp page said "not good for kids." I was so glad that I called to investigate. It was either the host or manager, sorry I did not ask, who answered the phone. He was so awesome! He said the restaurant loved kids and that they even had s kids menu...score! He took our reservations for 9 with only 30 minutes to spare. We arrived to the darling and historic open market area of Omaha where M's Pub is located. It was a Sunday evening so parking was not a problem. As we all walked in, the atmosphere of M's Pub was presentable and relaxing. The same man who had taken my call greeted me and seated us right away. Our server was fantastic and the food was delicious. I had the beef tenderloin, which was delicious and very filling. The table bread alone was so fresh and yummy. At our table multiple menu items were ordered from the escargot, artichoke, Philly steak sandwich, to the full chicken and ribeye entrees, all so yummy. The kids plates were great too. Fresh apples served on the side of pasta, a hamburger with a gourmet bun. My son devoured his burger ;) All around we had a great experience. I totally recommend and thank you to the staff at M's Pub for accommodating us so well.
(5)Joel H.
I was very disappointed with my food at M's pub. I ordered the lamb satay and I strongly regret it. They asked me how I would like my lamb cooked so I asked for "medium." The lamb came out as a rare to medium-rare type. However, the main problem was that the lamb had such a high amount of fat on it that I could only eat half of what they gave me. I had to throw away the rest of the lamb because it was so fatty that I could not even chew on it. I expected this to be a really nice meal because it is one of the more pricer items on the menu. I'll try and attach a picture if I can. I also think the meal should have been served with more rice and feta cheese. There was only 3 small pieces of feta in the whole dish and what seemed like a very small portion of rice. Overall, I give this dish a 2/10 and would not recommend it to anyone. Besides the actual meal I thought M's pub had an awesome atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. I just wish this meal would have reached the quality I expected from M's pub.
(2)Mike S.
Definitely a 5 star, but to be fair I have to go with 4 since I haven't had everything here. In my younger days in the kitchens of Omaha I would come here only for the bar. Fantastic wines (which I knew nothing about) decent beer, but out of this world cocktails. The entrees have always been good and have not changed much over the last 15 years. That is good and bad. Some folks will rave about the escargot or warm duck salad. I could not care less about that. I enjoy a few items here and volley between them. The Black bean cakes with the citrus carrot and pepper slaw is delish. Julienne carrots and zest gently offset the mellow bean with a nice char on them. The Vegetarian lavosh was my favorite even when I was an omnivore. Then it happened. I got the carrot dog. Seriously. The carrot dog is awesome. Marinated and steam/grilled to a perfect dog-like consistency. On the side is a warm kraut and tingly brown mustard. Now that the bun is vegan I come here way more often than I need to. It is probably the cheapest thing on the menu and that leaves more money for drinks. The wine list is top notch. One of the other things that I like is that if you are sitting near the back of house you can actually have a real conversation with your guest and it will blend in with all the rest of the patrons noise. Privacy in the open My only issue that I have is that it seems as if the web designer has lost their job because it has not been updated in about 3 years. That is not good. These days with more people using the interwebs to look up menu items and prices this is severely outdated. TL;DR: Food is still the same and great. Wine is good for you. Website is not accurate

3.5 stars, but not quite a 4. I went here for lunch and say at the bar. This was recommended to me by a local. Reuben sandwich was recommended by the bartender, so that's what I got. It was ok. The sandwich was grilled and the meat seemed compacted. The slices were all laid flat on the bread, so it was just a dense block of meat. It was a nice portion of meat though. Nothing fancy and the taste was better than average. It came with a a very small bowl of lettuce. Some might call it a side salad, but I wouldn't go that far... I'd go back, but I'll definitely try something different and I'll try the lahvosh that everyone talks about. What I mean is, I'll go back when I need a break from eating the meatloaf sandwich at the Kitchen Table! ;)

M's Pub is a great dining option in downtown Omaha if you are having a fancy pants sort of day, but don't want to empty your wallet quite as much as if you were to go to a SUPER fancy place like The Grey Plume or V. Mertz. It's the sort of place you would casually go to lunch at while wearing a polo to enjoy one of their fancy salads (which are insanely fresh, green, and appetizing) or attend dinner at if, by chance, you are dating a banker or an artist who rebelliously left their upbringing in the Hamptons to the dismay of their white, upper-class family. M's Pub will make you feel fancy, but in the casual hush-hush sort of way. The "cool" sort of way. Dining at M's Pub has left me with all smiles and no complaints. I am glad, however, that my parents were in town to buy my lunch, and that my dad left his dinosaur t-shirts at home. This is the sort of place you wear a nice sweater to, you know? The staff at M's pub are probably some of the best-trained and professional I have encountered in Omaha, and the menu offers diverse options for those with alternative diets. My family--comprised of a vegan, a gluten-free vegetarian, a flexitarian, and two meat eaters--left very satisfied and happy. This is rare, especially in the midwest. The ambiance of M's Pub is fresh, classy, and modern. I was impressed with the amount of fresh food on all of the plates on my table-- whether it was the falafel, lamb kabobs, or an actual salad. The food at M's Pub is as high quality as the service. If you can afford it, I think this combination is worth paying the "nice evening out" prices. We all have our days of feeling like a fancy pants after all. For me, what would tip M's Pub over the scale into being a 5-star eating establishment would be seasonal menu items and more of a spotlight on local ingredients and dishes. Perhaps some specials as well? One or two works of true culinary genius? These are all things I think they are more than capable of executing, so I hope to see them raise their own casually high bar in the future.

The highlight of this restaurant is the drink and wine menu. They have a vast assortment, and I was happy with the sparkling rose I ordered to drink. My friend was also happy with her drink from the specialty menu. I ordered the Thai salad as my main dish, and I thought it was overpriced. There was not much chicken on the salad. It was not served with a hard roll like the menu states. My friend ordered the Thai lahvosh and was happy with her choice. The lesson I have learned is to stick with the lahvosh, which is what they are known for. The service was good except they did not refill my water in a timely fashion. Bottom line: good atmosphere, average food.
(3)Zach G.
This place is so odd. By the name, you think it will be a laid back place. You walk in and see the white linen napkins. Then the menu - they're either $35-$40 or $10-$15, nothing in between. Either a $40 steak or a $11 burger. It's so odd. Not a complaint, just...odd. Our server was friendly, but everything was a bit slow aside from the actual food coming out. There were too many tasty sounding menu items, but I eventually decided on a reuben, and my wife chose a burger. We also got a cup of cream of mushroom soup. Starting with the soup, it was fantastic. Really delicious, creamy but not too rich. A dash of salt and pepper did make it better, though. My wife's burger was awesome - juicy, flavorful, a perfect medium rare. My reuben was really, really disappointing. The meat was really good, but it had almost no sauerkraut, and the bread...my gosh, it was pitiful. The bread made Wonder Bread look thick sliced. It was definitely a sandwich I could have made at home, and I was very disappointed. So...avoid that. They both came with small salads and a very tasty poppyseed dressing. Drinks wise, we both got cocktails...I got the Magazine (cucumber, gin, etc.), and my wife got a blueberry basil martini. Both were delicious. We would return, but just don't get the reuben, whatever you do!

I went in to my M's experience with high hopes, as a good friend had recommended the spot for a casual early dinner on a weeknight. The dining room was fairly empty, probably the norm for the early hour. We were seated promptly, then waited for about 10 minutes for water and a greet from our server. I watched other tables whom arrived after us get service immediately, and from the same server. When he finally made his way over, the attitude switched from blasé to seemingly annoyed. We did not want dranks. I, personally, was still recovering from the night before. We stuck with water. I KNOW that crap servers take the "I'll just have water" to mean "we're too cheap for buying drinks and will tip terribly", and this is an attitude which needs to stop. He left us to stew over our menu decisions (which we had already made), without option to go ahead and order food. Cool. More minutes passed, and I kept track of actual time elapsed because I know time creeps when you are on the party mend. When we were finally allowed to bother our server with a food order, my dining partner ordered a steak, and I ordered something off the specials menu. What was the special? I thought you'd never ask quietly to yourself. It was Duck breast w/Sticky rice, shiro miso, house made kimchee, a nori sheet, and vegetable. I, being a gringo who loves all Asian cuisine, was intrigued by the combination of Asian components in a 99% American food "gastropub". I like taking chances. I am also a huge Duck fan, but sometimes critical of its preparation. Our food arrived in a surprisingly timely manner, steak plate first to the lady, duck plate then crash landing in front of me. First glance told the story of the future of my portion of the meal. The skin was rubbery, with no color...they didn't follow the "Three R's" of duck preparation: Render, Render, and Render. This duck was obviously placed in a cold saute over meh heat, swished around a bit, then put in the oven to attempt a quick tan. I poked the breast and found it to be gelatinous...aka undercooked. Duck, to me, is best when Medium to Medium Rare, but when I cut into this specimen it was RAW. I'm a trooper, and I dined on the surrounding accompaniments as I waited for our server to do a touch back at our table so that I may send my duck back to the tanning bed. He never came back. Not to check on us, not to bring more water, not a thing until after I had already eaten what I could from my plate and given up on the duck. THEN he dropped our checks, took our plates, and walked off rather rudely. Back to the duck. The sticky rice was complete garbage, just chunks of lumpy oatmeal consitency rice (had they changed the description to congee, it would have been more appropriate, but still sucked), the shiro miso (aka white miso) broth was surprisingly under seasoned (aka, put more miso paste in the water please), the kimchi was just some wilted napa cabbage, and what I could eat of the raw, flaccid skinned duck was not only undercooked, but not seasoned at all. It was a complete 100% failure as a dish as a whole, and with each component. Some people work literally MINUTES on their career to attain such lowly lack of suck-sess. My partner's steak, on the other hand, was very good. Why wouldn't it be? It's a GD steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. Thankfully they can execute such a basic dish without sucking it up too much. The steak, however, did not make up for the other 95% of the experience being a wash. As for my friend who recommended this place: after I told her of my trials at M's she said she was "just kidding, I didn't really think you should go to that place". A little honesty would have saved you, the reader, all the minutes from your life you spent reading this review. I feel for the family of the duck, who's untimely loss of a loved one resulted in desecrating its memory with such a terrible dish. I don't even walk down 11th anymore.

The greeting, the service, the food and the atmosphere was great. Each lunch or dinner we had every server was always very knowledgeable and helpful with wines, food specials and so on. The quality of the food was exceptional the whole way through and a good time was always had by all. One might have to add that although it's called M's Pub it is not necessarily the typical British/Irish Pub I am familiar with.
(5)Dave B.
The food is really tasty, and on our first visit the staff were sufficiently friendly, our waitress engaging and attentive . However, during my latest visit I was surprised by how customers were treated. The hostess largely ignored the growing crowd by the door. A wealthy looking couple who walked in after us was warmly greeted and immediatly shown a table. The hostess and servers did not make eye contact, or ever say anything along the lines of"sorry for the delay, be with you soon." I get that it's a busy place, but a little politeness goes a long way.

M is always a destination for me in Omaha. Great Nouveau Cuisine artfully presented as well as a 'kickin' wine list. I travel alone for business so usually sit at the bar. Knowledgeable and pleasant barkeeps as well as chatty bar patrons round out the experience.
(5)Ashley L.
Flat bread pizza is delish! Wine menu is extensive and food passing by looks great. Atmosphere is a bit loud but upbeat. Don't go here if you hate people and a buzzing atmosphere.
(5)Meghan F.
In a fantastic location, M's Pub is an otherwise perfectly good restaurant but nothing exceptional. Food was a nice mix of upscale pub food and new American, with the more creative dishes marked up accordingly. Our steaks were good, sides were fresh, and service was solid. I do have to give extra props for the wine list, which was expansive and interesting without being too overpriced.

Oh MY GOSH! This is a follow-up to my last review. I have to tell you that first of all, I was very impressed with the owner's interest in making sure his customers are comfortable, happy and have a wonderful gastronomic experience, full of delightful comestibles. After my last "less than glowing" experience, he personally emailed me and invited me to the restaurant for a second chance, complete with a discount gift ceritificate. I'm so glad we took him up on it! We began with a complex stout beer for my mate and a crisp glass of sauvignon blanc for myself, followed by the salmon mousseline, the charcuterie plate and then, crab cakes for me and the bratwurst plate for my mate. The service, first of all was attentive and first-rate! Joanne/JoAnn/JoAnne? was flawless in her professional friendliness, expert recommendations and delivery timing despite it being very busy in her section. I noted her taking time to check on each table and administer personally ground pepper for another patron and never missing a beat with a larger table and the flow of delivery of food, service, beverages and check. VERY well done. This is the M's pub I remember and love. My mate, who is not from this area, was duly impressed. He was with me during our last visit so was a bit dubious when I suggested we return for the "second chance." No more. I''m so pleased to add this back to our "favorite" list. Thank you for offering us another opportunity to revel in your culinary delights. We'll see you soon and as often as our schedule permits!
(5)Robert M.
The staff is very friendly, although I feel like those buying alcohol got a little more attention than those who are not (my table). I got the lamb Burger, which was delicious but a little undercooked in my opinion, I ordered it medium but it seemed a little too rare for medium. I also got the Buffalo chicken soup, which was full of flavor, highly recommended. The atmosphere and style of the restaurant is very unique, but typical of industrial vintage looking places. I think the prices definitely reflect the location and decor, in other words, overpriced. Would I go here again the next time I'm in Omaha? Probably, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit here either.
(3)Shaunna W.
I feel like I got taken for $30.00 on a lunch ticket. It was so loud I didn't even know there was music playing until I stood up to leave. The food was bland and service mediocre. Maybe dinner has more to offer, but lunch was a big let down.
(1)Rick S.
We were visiting Omaha overnight and stumbled upon M's. The location is great, conveniently located within walking distance of downtown hotels. The restaurant was very busy for a Monday night, so we took seats at the bar. The bar staff was attentive and knowledgable. They had a nice selection of local brews, and a nice variety of food on the menu. I had the Thai Lavhosh, and it was delicious. Will definitely come back here the next time I'm in Omaha.
(5)June G.
M's Pub consistently delivers amazing food. Great selection of salads and Lavash. Wait staff does a fine job. Don't miss this jewel when you are in Omaha.
(5)Christine H.
I don't know if M's will ever go out of style. Classic restaurant in Omaha that has definitely stood the test of time. On my most recent visit on a Monday night, it was packed as usual. I ordered the braised short ribs. They were tender and very flavorful, but my only complaint would be they were a little too fatty. I would say that a good third of the meat was pure fat. I actually didn't notice this while in the restaurant, but rather the portion that I got to go was no meat and all fat. The vegetables and puréed cauliflower that were served with it were delicious. I also appreciate the varying price points. If you stick to their standard menu, you can get a meal for under $20. If you order some of their specials the prices are higher more like between $25-$45 each. Generally, I would say that the atmosphere, service and food at M's is great. Lavosh is always a good choice.

Decided not to waste my precious time out and return. After long line and finally getting a table for my dear daughter and I whom have not seen each other living in different states. We waited for a waiter no pun intended, after the rushed gentleman took our order and another long wait. You have to realize we wanted to go to Borsheims and squander CASH at other side of town. We finally got our meal and I did not recognize it. Whose meals did we get? After a number of "I am sorry". We did receive our order almost correctly. It was food I think. Inedible to the most important palate. We gave a tip left abrupt and yelped again no pun intended, by by . Sorry we are not returning. We made it to a downtown jewelry store and I did shop no drop. Remember shop first eat second. Shopping is more predictable. Confusions opinion. An experience. My daughter and I could not stop laughing. Fun time had by all.
(1)Christy S.
i will always love this place and i hope it stays around forever. which its been around forever. it has the perfect mix of food, drinks, fun atmosphere. its always busy here, so make reservations. but so worth it. the patio seating is perfect. this is my go to when im downtown! love! great job to the staff!
(4)Cheryl L.
This is my second time here. Both times I received excellent service. The food is delicious. I had the pork Thai satay and it was really good. The baked brie is wonderful as was the Thai lavosh. I've had better bloody Mary's but overall my experience was good.
(4)Aretha N Mark R.
The star is only so I can leave a review. Was recommended by the driver of the hotel shuttle so I joined some fellow team members. Very cramped, very loud and service was extremely slow. Spent more time waiting then eating. Ordered the crab cake appetizer and a house salad. Nothing to cheer about. Food is bland and only spice is the sauce that is used to cover up that it is bland. I will not be returning and would recommend that if you go, have a lot of time to waste.

M's pub is an Omaha classic! My husband and I celebrate all of our special moments there! First I have to start off by saying that the staff there is phenomenal. They are great at recommending entree selections and are always willing to offer advice. We even had a waitress teach us the tables so that we knew which one to call in and request. (That is 5 star customer service.) My favorite appetizer is the Thai Lavosh. Literally one of the best appetizers we have ever had. I am one of those people who always order the same thing and that is no exception at M's pub. I always order the Asian Chicken Satay and it is ridiculously amazing. For dessert we ALWAYS get the carrot cake with butter pecan ice cream. It isn't on the menu that way but you must add the ice cream! It is ridiculously amazing. One of the waiters got us started on it during one anniversary dinner and we haven't been able to make it through a dinner without ordering it since. All of the great food and staff plus the atmosphere makes M's Pub a great choice for dinner in downtown Omaha!
(5)Lindsay M.
Whenever I travel to Omaha for the College World Series for work, EVERYONE knows we have to book a table at M's Pub. Great area, close to where we stay (Omaha Hilton) and ALWAYS great food. New York dining in Omaha.
(5)Steffi D.
I can't go to Omaha without going to M's Pub. Their unique vegetarian options are so creative and delicious even a carnivore would love it! They have a great mix of meat & veggie friendly dishes for everyone to enjoy. Wonderful service and a good vibe. It's a MUST!
(5)Stephen B.
Passing through town on a cross-country road trip, I asked a good friend who grew up in Omaha for a restaurant recommendation. M's Pub was on the list, only second to The Boiler Room. The latter was a bit too fancy for us road-weary folk, so we went with M's, which turned out to be a great decision. We arrived in the midst of the College World Series, so the place was packed, but the incredibly kind staff accommodated us quickly. We had a great table, and our server was very helpful, giving awesome beer recommendations. The only reason I'm giving M's four stars is because our appetizer was underwhelming. We got the whole artichoke with three dips, and while the dips were excellent, the artichoke was bland. It was boiled and wasn't salted at all, though the chef tossed on some spices at the end. It didn't help much, since the artichoke remained soggy and without taste. The dips, however, were all wonderful, though there wasn't enough of them for the entire large artichoke. The entrees, on the other hand, were rock solid. We had sandwiches: the Omaha Grill (tasty, beefy, awesome horseradish kick) and the Pub Favorite (a seemingly bizarre combo that includes both cream cheese and mayo, but it just works). The side salad was great, and I got a cup of chilled peaches & cream soup with fresh granola. This was definitely the star of the meal: not too sweet, amazing peach flavor, and the granola gave a nice crunch. Overall, it was inexpensive and the sandwiches were very tasty. When I return, I'd like to go for one of the bigger entrees, like the Beef Tenderloin or Duck Breast. Maybe we played it too safe with our selections? Either way, I'll definitely be back once I find myself in Omaha again.

I took my in-laws here a few weeks ago because I had heard some amazing things about "M's". When asking my co-workers where I should take my in-laws, I had three separate people tell me that this was their favorite restaurant in Omaha. We started with the shrimp and mushroom signature baked dishes which are smothered in butter and havarti cheese, what could possibly taste bad when prepared like this? These two appetizers made the meal for me. Although they are probably like 600 calories a piece, they were freaking AMAZING!! The entrees all of us got were a little bit of a let down. Definitely not the best restaurant that I have eaten at in Omaha. Honestly, if it weren't for the appetizers, I probably would have given it a 3 star review.
(4)Kat D.
I was in town for business and I decided to trust my fellow yelpers when looking for a place to grab dinner. I got the lamb burger with a side salad... Both were absolutely disgusting. I couldn't even finish the burger. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy (a little dramatic but it goes to show you how strongly I felt about my dinner). The staff was really nice though.
(1)Taylor J.
The lahvosh is amazing (all of them), I had the veggie kind for an appetizer and then the falafels for lunch. their dirty martinis and bloody Mary's are awesome. They have a long menu but everything is made perfectly. Always a treat to get to go here. They also have outdoor seating.
(5)Mitchell P.
This place is great! I had the wild rice blue cheese soup and it was amazing. Also for entree I had the Thai chicken Lavosh with sweet chili sauce and it was unbelievable!
(5)George F.
I have been going to M's for decades. It is always good and often great. Today for lunch I had something I have never tried off their menu. I ordered the Lamb Burger. My brother often gets it so I took a shot. It was fantastic! I loved it. One of the best burgers I have had......ever. I'm not the biggest lamb fan so it really surprised me how much I loved it. The soup,is always good. I love the Greek sandwich and the Cobb salad is also something they do really well. Super cool atmosphere. I believe that Cedric Hartman designed the space. It figures because it is wonderful as well.
(5)Sue H.
Came for lunch on New Year's Eve day. We made a reservation and glad we did- would have been an hour wait without it. Sarah was a friendly server who managed our group of 5 very well. She kept our water full, even though we had a carafe at the table. I tried the Thai Lavash and am glad I did. The sauce was slightly sweet with a good amount of toppings but not too many. The cracker was nicely baked. Two could have this plus an appetizer for a light lunch or one can get full on it (keep in mind, I don't eat super-sized for lunch so your appetite may be different). Hubs had the Rueben sandwich and enjoyed it. The SIL had the Pork Satay- her go-to dish when she comes. I had a taste & enjoyed it along with the accompanying sauces. Dad had the special of the day- Salmon sandwich- and enjoyed it. A few of us had the soups of the day - winter squash & potato. They were flavorful. The menu has a fair number of vegetarian options. I'm recommending it to my vegetarian niece and other friends who live in the area (I was here visiting from Philly)
(5)Gidel D.
Where do I even start? Is it the super simple, yet chic environment or the great wine list? Maybe the divine food or incredible waiting staff? Well I will just go in the order my brain takes me. I don't know why, but I always forget about this place when someone says "Where should we go eat?" However when someone asks me where my favorite place in Omaha is, M's Pub immediately is on my lips. I feel so sophisticated and French and grown up in this restaurant. Even when I had my very first date here, I was only 18, they were about to close, I had a chicken salad sandwich, but I still felt so classy sitting in there! I think it is a combination of two things. The environment is incredible. While kind of cramped - it is always pack, a good sign - it is absolutely beautiful with a mirrored bar and very interesting kitchen placement. Couples and some business people exchange words and I can't help but feel like I am in a movie. It isn't terribly expensive - I would say very reasonably priced - but everyone in there seems to have money, though not in a pretentious way. It is comfortable, while still maintaining an air of class and sophistication that I have only witnessed in Europe, particularly France. I think the service is the second piece that really make it special. It is unbelievable. The servers are prepared, tidy, knowledgeable, and very gracious. I detest when servers are rude to me just because I am young (23, writing this post). Even was 18, though, it was like I was a VIP and my business meant the world to them. As I have turned 21 and grown up in Omaha, they are patient when I ask about wines I would like to try with certain dishes. The food. Oh the food. I have tried many things on their menu and it is all delicious. However, for some reason the only thing I can really remember is the chicken salad sandwich. I'm not sure why that is, though it was absolutely divine. If you are looking for a simple, but elegant place to eat in the downtown area for reasonable prices and an overall great experience... This is your place. Cheers M's Pub! For always making my stay amazing!
(5)Tayler T.
Been to M's a few times and it's always consistent. I love their turkey avocado sandwich served on a croissant! Their cocktails aren't that great. In fact their Bloody Mary was not good at all, but the food is always good!! 4 stars for having good food all the time
(4)Simon D.
I like the sandwiches a lot. Cocktails are just ok. Had old fashioneds made by a few bartenders and they were both pretty bad. They have a smoked pork sandwich which makes up for the drinks. I had a soup there once and the pees weren't cooked. I want to give it 4 but just can't.
(3)Gomer K.
Bleh. Recommended to us by the dudes at Brickway. Food was meh, service was meh, the drinks were meh. I had a hot toddy which tasted like it was only hot water and bourbon with a cinnamon stick thrown in it. Not good. We started with the crab cakes. They weren't crab, they tasted like fish, like salmon almost. Coming from MD it wasn't a crab cake. They weren't bad though. I had the pub favorite sandwich. Gross. It came out ice cold and I had to send it back. It came back hot but the turkey in it was the weird cubed processed crap. Why do people grind up birds breasts and form them into shapes? They're delicious the way they come. My boyfriend had a burger, he liked it. All in all we left pretty disappointed.
(3)Jenny N.
Really fun place to eat and drink in Omaha. I wouldn't call it a "pub," because they serve food that is too expensive to be called a pub. My boyfriend and I ordered a french dip sliders appetizer (only 2 sliders), 2 salads and a couple drinks, and the bill came out to over $60. Ouch! But, the food was very good, our dried fruit sangrias were refreshing and tasty, and the ambiance was great. The place was packed when everywhere else that Sunday night was dead. It's a small, hole-in-the wall place that has that darkly intimate feel of a pub, but it was still trendy. There were couples, families and old friends having a great time all around us at the end of Christmas weekend. The lighted Christmas garlands added to the atmosphere. My only complaint was that our bread came with cold butter. A place like this should know better-- small details matter. I would definitely come here again.
(4)Aren R.
I eat at M's Pub every month or so, and it never fails to hit the spot. M's has become the place I take friends from out of town for a reasonably priced taste of Omaha. The lavosh is always an intriguing option, especially the Omaha lavosh (I really love reubens). Really you can't go wrong with any of the options. As far as sandwiches, I think M's has the best reuben in Omaha (so the best reuben in the world). A friend from out of town got the turkey melt and loved it. Really, if you haven't been to M's and you live in Omaha you are missing out. It's just something all Omahans need to have done.
(4)Krista L.
I met some family from out of town in the Old Market a couple weekends ago and the one spot they wanted to try was M's Pub. I hadn't been to M's Pub in a long time, but I was reminded what I was missing! The food, service, and atmosphere were perfect. We wanted to share a bottle of wine, but were somewhat lost with the large wine list. Our server Emily was very helpful and knowledgeable, she helped us pick a great wine. I just wish I would have remembered the name of it! My family members all had sandwiches and I tried the lamb burger. I will be making my way back to have the lamb burger again! My family was very happy with the experience and our server had everything timed out perfect. Thanks M's Pub!
(5)Ryan S.
Ate hear based on reviews. Neat atmosphere and reasonable prices. The highlight for me oddly enough was they had the best balsamic vinaigrette dressing I have had in a while.
(4)Chad K.
I ordered the M's Burger (all natural ground beef, bacon, gruyere cheese, tomato, lettuce, red onion, and an onion kaiser bun). I ordered it cooked medium, but they cooked it well done. It was still a tasty burger despite them overcooking it. It came with a greens salad as a side. I thought the standard poppyseed dressing was a little too sweet, but it comes on the side so you can control how much goes on your greens. Services was friendly and attentive. Restaurant was pretty full, but not excessively noisy. Typical urban Old Market look and feel on the inside. Prices are on par with most trendy gastropubs in urban locales like this
(4)Bill S.
I ate at M's Pub yesterday for the first time after moving to Omaha almost two years ago. I made a reservation for my party of 6 at 430, i figured it was early for a reservation but better safe than sorry. The first detracting factor was that when I made a reservation they said they would need the table back at 6, and that we would have an hour and a half. While this is plenty of time to eat, I find it not very hospitable to tell patrons they have a time limit on a table. The opinions on the food where consistent for everyone in my party. No one thought the food was bad but it was just average. There wasn't any thing that was exceptional and I would need to go back for. I have the Omaha Grill sand which with the spinach side salad. If Jimmy Johns made hot sandwiches i think it would have been better than this one. Like i said it wasn't bad but it was great. My wife's friend had the Reuben and she agreed it wasn't bad it just wasn't great, with a bit of work a better one could be made at home. My wife had the chicken Cesar salad, she liked it and ate it all but for $11.50 it seemed over priced for the portion. If you are in the old market and want decent food this wouldn't be a bad choice, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.
(3)Sarah K.
Drink 2 glasses of wine. Go to the bathroom. That will be enjoyable enough...mirrored hallway is something. Okay, all kidding aside. We had a light early dinner, salad and lavosh with some dessert. Did not disappoint. Pros: menu selection, great ambiance in the restaurant and location is a plus. Made a poor decision on the dessert getting the fudge torte...should've known the chocolate was just too much. Can't give 5-stars because didn't try enough selection of menu (especially the pricier dishes to really rate at 5 stars).
(4)P R.
Excellent all the way around - we had a omaha grill sandwich and a Lahvosh. Both were very good. And just the right size for lunch. Good local beer as well. Service and atmosphere were great.
(5)Matthew D.
M's Pub was the first place I ate in Old Market when I moved here a year ago. I don't recall what I had for an entree that time, but I do know we had the baked shrimp dish for an appetizer. I'm not even a big shrimpy fan, but these are hard to beat. It's shrimp soaked in butter and covered with havarti cheese. Delicious. So far where they've come up short for me is the entree. I don't remember what I got last year, but I wasn't impressed with it, so I hadn't been back until now. Several people told my wife it's their favorite restaurant in Omaha, so we decided to go again and take my parents while they were visiting. Once again, the shrimp was great. We also got the mushrooms that are prepared in the same way, and they are delicious as well. But the entrees came up short again. This time I tried the buffalo chicken lahvosh. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. It was just ok. My parents felt the same way about their meals. My wife and my dad both got the NY Strip. I tried a bite; the flavor was pretty good, but it was one of the chewiest steaks I've ever had. Definitely not worth the $23 price. The service was a little underwhelming also. Drinks went empty for extended periods of times and overall the server was not friendly. To sum it up, I didn't dislike M's Pub, but I didn't really like it either... it's just a middle of the road restaurant. Their prices are mostly reasonable, but I'd rather pay more and have better food/service, given the choice.

The only highlight of my shoddy business trip here in Omaha. Came here first thing once I landed. Located right in the Old Market, I got a seat, hungry and wanted something to keep me awake and energized for the day. Unfortunately, they don't have a lunch special menu. Gotta work on one, you guys! Secondly, they advertise they have wifi. They do...but it doesn't work. Had to steal the neighboring networks nearby to get some work done while eating. Wonderful decor and it was nice to eat while mesmerizing the decor. The place was completely empty when I came at 11am, but come by noon, place is packed. I got their most popular dish, the Thai Lavosh. Basically, for those unfamiliar with what Lavosh is like a Turkish pizza made on a huge saltine cracker. Very light. The Thai Lavosh was very very good. Kept it light for me, so I didn't feel like I ate a whole lot despite killing the meal. First time I didn't leave leftovers. The added honey as the base of the sauce made the meal sweet and special. The crunchiness of the peanuts was a good complement to the ever growing soggy saltine crackerish lavosh. They had a few beer on tap. Many of them local so I never heard any of them. Took a risk with a wheat ale (can't really be a risk if it's a wheat ale--belgian; gotta be sweet). Bread and butter with the meal. It's a bit pricey, especially since they don't have a lunch menu. And if they do, they sure as hell didn't give it to me. But I'll come here again, if God forbid, I come back to Nebraska.

Great restaurant in very cool area of Omaha- Old Market. Went in on the recommendation from a cool Men's boutique around the corner. Glad I did! My server, Eric, was great. Attentive, professional, and very polite. Ordered a glass of Red and the M's Burger for dinner and they were both fantastic. Very reasonably priced as well, as I was unsure for such a cool restaurant in a "happening area" of Omaha. Highly recommend. Did not try the desert menu, though it sounded great. Burger and Wine were perfect. Eric was great. Highly recommend!
(5)Chris B.
Great saffron chicken noodle soup plus great spinach salad with warm BACON dressing. Classy place as well. Service was very friendly.
(5)Bill D.
Great atmosphere and food. Service was good too. We had fish and lamb burgers. Very good
(4)Chet M.
They have a lot of sandwiches on their menu tried the cheese steak and pastrami both were just OK. Our clam chowder was missing clams and very milky.
(3)Terri H.
Great place! Decor is adorable. Found this little gem in the heart of the Old Market District in Omaha. Food is great, ranging from cheaper to more expensive meals. I had the lamb salad which was perfect along with a delicious heirloom tomato tart. Only thing is that it gets a little noisy in the evening.
(4)Big Omaha S.
I've never had a dish there that wasn't very good or excellent. Their lamb burger is one of the best burgers you'll ever have, and I've had it maybe two dozen times.
(5)Lesley H.
If you like lousy service then this is the place for you. Probably the worst service I have ever received. We tried to go for dinner and were turned away by the rather snobby and condescending host. How are visitors to the city supposed to know you need a reservation? But we'd heard great things so we went back for lunch two days later. Again, we were "greeted" by the snooty hostess and waved to the bar because we did not have a reservation. The bar man was friendly and looked after us very well. The drinks and the food showed up and all was going very well. Or so we thought. I noticed one of the waiters throw something and then felt a few drops hit my head and hand. At first I had no idea what it was but when I looked at my plate I saw small shards of glass and also on the bar a few more. Seriously??? The waiter had thrown a bottle in the recycle, it had shattered and spit up onto me. I told the barman, he was not too flustered, took my half eaten plate and gave me a new glass of wine. The waiter came to apologize and we waited for the manager to show up. And waited...and waited...and waited. Finally the barman gave us the bill, we were charged for my meal and when my husband pointed out I could not finish it, he retorted with, "Jeez, there was hardly anything left". When I heard this, I saw red and completely lost it. My behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable and I cursed out the barman, wondering when the damned manager was going to come. Apparently, the barman had decided not to bother telling him. After me screaming and cursing, he went to get the manager who came over and was outrageously condescending and rude. Needless to say, I was bothered all day by my own behavior and how rude people can be. This experience really solidified for me the fact that good food is not enough; good and great service can make an okay meal much better and lousy rude service can turn even the best food into spam!

Absolutely love their Thai Chicken Lavosh. Always a great place to go.

I've never been a big fan though some people love this place. The food's fine, but I generally avoid M's if I can for two reasons. First, it seems as if all conversation stops whenever someone comes in. I always feel like I need to be accompanied by a butler and a stack of resumes. Second, the portions are small. No, I'm not a typical Omahan who expects to have salads served in punchbowls with gallons of ranch or a steak the size of my head. But I always end up leaving this place hungry. Your mileage may vary.

We ate at M's based on strong Yelp reviews and were not disappointed. Delicious, creative food and fantastic, friendly service. Not cheap, but also not ridiculous.

Visiting Omaha after moving away 33 years ago. Used to love M's when the original M held court there! Happy to say it is still wonderful. Beautiful timeless chic decor that makes you feel special, first rate food and great service. An Omaha institution that has stood the test of time while incorporating today's food tastes. Will always return to M's!

This place was nice and the food was great. April was nice and a great waitress. I've been to Omaha a couple of times and I've eaten at Old Market which I've always enjoyed. This year I'll try this place out. I read most of the reviews and was intrigued to try the Thai Lahvosh which I did. I thought I've been to enough places to know what a Lahvosh is or even see it on the menu, but I've seen it on three different restaurants' menus here in Omaha, of all places, no offense to Omahans. It was really good and big. I could only eat half of it. Maybe it's because I started with the escargot, which was pretty good too. The dish had 6 compartments but it had 2 or 3 pieces in each. I probably had 18 altogether. It's been a long time since I ordered escargot, but from what I remember, I would only be served 6 at other restaurants. No complaints here. The beer I had was Fat Tire, which started to grow in me and I'm glad they had it here. As for dessert, I had the Chocolate Marquis which was ok.
(4)Björn S.
Grate place. We went here based on the rating at Yelp and it was accurate. I hade the Salome and I might have thought that I liked quinoa more then what I remembered but the salome was perfectly cooked and my girlfriend had the Snapper witch was perfect. I wish Id ordered it.
(5)Sophie C.
Weeknight and couldn't get in - had to wait a long time for a hostess to come and tell us that there was a 45 minute wait. The restaurant really needs a waiting area. We went and got a drink and then returned, but we had to wait another 15 minutes (after told 45 minutes) in the middle of the restaurant basically. Once we were seated the service was acceptable, the burgers were delicious, and we weren't rushed (granted there were empty tables at that point). Decent prices. I'd try it again.
(4)Patrick P.
Surf and Turf Satay was awesome!
(4)Betty J.
I am not sure what all the hype was about? I had a cup of the coconut shrimp soup with lunch, I think the soup was better than my steak sandwich. The sandwich had a lot of gooey sauce that made it soggy. Also the caramalized onions had no flavor and the steak although sliced was disappointingly chewy. They had great looking salads, my friend had one. If I went back that is what I would get. Our server was perfect! We sat at the bar she was awesome!
(3)Alden C.
I really enjoyed my experience here when I went through the Old Market area. I especially liked their Bloody Mary! I am definitely going back if I stay a few days in Omaha.
(4)Elena G.
Is it really fair to review a steak in Omaha? I mean, N is THE place for steak and sure enough, one of the best steaks I've had in my life was here at M's (and I'm a girl who knows her steak). Our server was super friendly, even ordered a cab for us to time it with the end of our meal, as we requested. The interior is more modern than one (I) would expect from Omaha, a lot of exposed brick, painted white, candles...you really feel like you're in a big city. The salmon was served medium, which I personally don't like, for me it's either raw or fully cooked and it smelled fishy, soemthing fresh fish doesn't do. The baked cheese appatizer was also very good and creamy. Impressive wine selection too. A winner.

M's is one of the more popular places in the Old Market, according to tourists and locals alike. I asked several folks where to go. They all suggested M's, and for good reason. I'll start with the most important part of anyone's meal- the dessert. The chocolate torte was so good lookin' I starting making eyes at it. And, true to form, it was love at first bite. " I wanna take you home and treat you right", I cooed, savoring its decadent dark chocolate richness. "I'ma gonna send you flowers n' call you the next day, just to see how you doin". Ooohhhh.... just fabulous. Uhhhh... so, I'll break out of my reverie to tell you about the rest of the meal- wonderful. I had sirloin steak, expertly prepared, of course. BF had pork satay. Pork Satay in Omaha? Aye, and it was mighty good as well. The service was great too. Our waitress, who was just wonderful, accidently dumped a carafe of water onto our table and into my lap. Without missing a beat, towels were offered and our desserts were comped. I watched her then handle a group of table squaters with such professionalism that I wanted to write a letter to management about her. I can't say I was a fan of the cheese covered shrimp and escargot appetizer that everyone raves about, but otherwise I'd recommend M's to anyone looking for a great meal in Omaha.
(4)Anh V.
m's pub just plain rocks! i came here to celebrate an event and the bartender was super fun and friendly. plus she pointed me to the best thrift store. i've had their yummy lavoshes before but today was a steak salad with blue cheese and peppercorn dressing. the crowd are some tourists and mostly movers and shakers. hip but laid back, this is the place to grab a bite if you are in the area.
(4)Cappy H.
Great prices always busy and by far had the best sandwich I had in a long time. The service was great. I like how it is black and white on the inside. It is a very small and intimate place and perfect for the first date. It is located downtown. Parking may not be easy on a weekend but it's worth the walk. They take reservations and I suggest you make one because it is a hot spot.
(3)Mike P.
I have eaten here several times, and the food is usually fine. Not great, but fine. That is, until I tried the falafel. I love falafel, and I didn't think you could really screw it up that badly, but this falafel was terrible. It was fluffy and bready, with absolutely no crunch whatsoever. There was also supposed to be hummus on it, and while there were several sauces, none were identifiable as hummus. That said, the appetizers have always been pretty good, so if you're just getting some drinks and snacking, go for it. Just don't get the falafel!
(2)Zara H.
Spent the night in Omaha during a business trip. Went for a solo dinner at M's and it was crow-ded! I still managed to order a glass of wine and a nice meal. The meal itself was good, but not exceptional by any means. The steak was cooked to my direction but the actual quality of the meant left me hanging. The sides were also good, and I particularly liked their salad. The reason why M's is not getting five stars is ultimately because of the steak. I've had better steak and unfortunately, I had high expectations stepping into the pub. I do have to give them props for the ambiance, the decor, as well as the bar. Great atmosphere in there! Also, their staff is excellent. I'd go back for a snack or a glass of wine.
(4)K W.
I at here for lunch during a recent visit to Omaha and was so glad that I gave them a try. I was solo so I sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and my food came out fast. I had the buffalo chicken soup with blue cheese crumbles and it was excellent! The chicken was tender white meat and the taste was perfect, not too spicy but lot's of flavor. I tried the carrot dog, which was also very good. The bartender said that lot's of people are curious and ask about it, but don't end up ordering it. I would say ORDER IT! Where else can you get a carrot dog? They seemed to have several vegetarian friendly options. I had a wheat beer with my lunch and the total was around $15 with tip. A great lunch spot.
(5)Christine D.
This is my favorite place to eat when I am in Omaha ( I lived there for 10 years now live in Minneapolis). I always start with the Thai Lahvosh, the Pub Favorite or Cucumber Sandwich or Lamb Burger and end the meal with the Chocolate Marquis for dessert and a special vodka. Absolutely the best!
(5)Sarah B.
Oh M's! I miss you much more than I thought I would. I've moved far away but I think about you often. I spent many a night saddled up to your bar with my sexy girlfriend, sipping dirty martinis and talking to lovely older gentlemen who spent all night complimenting us. I think fondly of your amazing wine list and your stellar chicken pesto pasta! And the ambiance? Romantic downtown charm isn't done better by anyone but you, M's! So charming and sexy at the same time. A night in your dining room always held some possiblity. I will visit as soon as I can, M's. I miss you!
(5)Sara S.
A second visit. Tried dessert, the mocha fudge torte is out of this world. So dense, so chocolatey. I asked for no whipped cream, and it's came sitting in a puddle of strawberry amaretto sauce, which was just enough. The side salad served with the carrot dog seems to have improved greatly, and the carrot dog was great, as always. I also tried the soup, a tomato bisque, lovely. Service was just as good as last time, and I liked that we could smoke on the terrasse outside.
(4)Charles G.
One of Omaha's most overrated restaurants-- mediocre food, cramped seating, and THIS F***ING LOUD. Bartenders are great, though.
(2)Chad C.
No complaints. Just an all-around good place to go. Had a nicely cooked M's burger with a nice lager. Both solid, as was the ambiance and service, but not to the point of "Yay! I'm a fan" status.
(3)Isabelle L.
This bistro offered good service and excellent food. We went for an early lunch to avoid the crowd and that seems to be the only way to go without reservations. The Lamb burger was excellent and juicy. The duck salad was also quite flavorful and everything tasted fresh. For dessert I couldn't resist a chocolate Marquis and I certainly didn't regret my choice. This is a really good place, bistro style to grab really good food and enjoy a glass of wine or two.
(4)Becki G.
I'm a KansasCitian and was visiting Omaha to see my very expectant sister and brother in law. They had eaten here before and thought it'd be a great place for us to have lunch. We got there at 10 till 11am on Sat. The little hostess (with a very snoody attitude) told us they weren't actually open until 11am but we could sit at the bar and wait. We were in good spirits so we left to walk around the farmers market instead. We returned, where the Snoody Snooderson seated us promptly at a table right in front of a window into an adjoining store. It so happened that the window was the stores Toms display. We got a kick out of this and enjoyed watching the people come by to brows the Toms selection. In fact now I'm really bummed because I wanted to go in there to have a look but I forgot! Anyway..... our server came by right away to drop off some water, and what a wonderful gal! Super sweet, friendly lady. She came back shortly to take our order after we hemmed and hawed the appropriate amount of time. My sis and I both ordered the Pub Favorite sandwich and my bro in law asked our server what she would choose out of three different meals. She choose the Chicken Salad croissant, which he then ordered. While we waited I checked out the place. Very clean, very low key decor. Dark wood accents & trim work and dark wood tables with stark white linens and black and white paint on the brick give the dining room and bar a tasteful gothic look. It was beautiful. I loved the male staff. They all look a bit rough and edgy but upon closer look, are super nice guys. They kinda made the place, I guess. I just love different edgy people who don't become drones when they go to work. They just looked like fun guys to work with and probably have tons of great stories from their life they'd be able to share. So then our food arrives. Our sandwiches are simple looking, a white blend of turkey, swiss and cream cheese on dark luscious pumpernickel bread. A bowl of mixed greens with poppyseed dressing came with our sandwiches. I liked this a lot. Everywhere you go, fries come with your meal. This came with a simple salad of fresh greens and you had the option to add a different kind of salad if you so desired. I don't even know if I saw fries as an option. Don't get me wrong, I love me some fries, but I so appreciated that M's feels like not every meal has to be accompanied by the fried potato sticks. My bro in laws sandwich looked delicious, but it was monstrous! He finished it though and said it was delicious. Our sandwiches were so much more than I expected. I thought it would be mostly cream cheesey with a slab or two of turkey that would make me feel full before I was finished. But the cream cheese to swiss ratio was so perfect, I'm convinced they had to have tested it a few times to get it just right. They used cubed turkey, and the thought might put you off at first, but it was delicious! It tasted fresh and with the cheeses and a little red onion on the pumpernickel, the sandwich was DIVINE! I was able to eat the whole thing and felt sated but not grossed out from cheese overkill. The salad was fresh, simple but delicious. My sister and I went to the restroom before we left and I'm glad we did. There is a great piece of artwork indicating the male and female restroom, that I'm not going to describe here, you'll just have to go down and visit the restroom to see and appreciate it. Love it! There were several more items I wanted to try so I do hope I get the chance to eat here again as well as experience it's night life scene. Aside from the little hostess who needs a slight attitude adjustment, it's a wonderful experience.

Ok, M's pub came as a recommendation from a native, so I had to check it out. Located in the Old Town, it's location is great. I went there for dinner with friends and found the seating to be a bit cramped with quite a bit of background noise, but hey, it's a Pub, so deal with it. Service was quite good I went with a house favorite, rib eye steak adorned with a salsa-goat cheese topping. I would say that the steak was average and the topping was way too strong. My friend had the pig lips. I tried a bite and they were just awesome. Went back a few weeks later and had a shaved pork sandwich for lunch and it was really good. I ate at the bar on the second occasion and the bar service is excellent. So if your party is small and there is wait at the normal tables - I recommend eating at the bar. Prices for dinners are pretty high, but the food quality and location make this competitive. Not exactly a place for a quiet romantic evening, but I would recommend it for casual dinner with friends. I may have caught them on an off night, but this was definitely not the best steak I've eaten, so explore the non-beef choices people!
(3)Melanie F.
I've only been here once (so far) but my experience was great. I had the tuna melt for lunch and four months later... I'm still craving a second helping of it. The place has a great modern-meets-cozy kind of feel to it. Eating there made me feel like I was at a dinner party at a friend's house - an older, slightly wealthier friend who makes sure you're having a good time and your needs are well-attended. Plus, M is a good letter!

So we are on this sales trip full of drunks, degenerates, and just plan wacky people. Five days, five different cities, 5 hotels and one bus. It's day three and there is a revolt for decent food other than the crap holes and slop that the hotels dishes out. We venture out in search of life in Omaha. There were twelve of us...all from different cities and states, pretty much the roadies to HELL and Satan is the driver. It was recommended that we go to M's Pub. Our group consist of every one from one side of the coast to the other. Use to eating at some of the snobbiest of places to the coolest hole in the walls. Although M's Pub is no were near a whole in the wall; located in old town Omaha...that was something I truly did not expect, my last experience to no where land usually centered around a side of cow and enough sides to feed a small family. We showed up with a group of 12 with nothing more than a couple hour warning to their staff. Although we had to wait for a bit for some jack@$$ to get off his fat @$$ and go straight to a hospital for that immediate emergency bypass. We were finally seated, the manager was great, always keeping us abreast with the status and providing some wonderful complimentary pizzas for the delay. The thin pizza crust pizzas were just yummy...but unfortunately, our resident New Yorker couldn't get over the fact that he could do the fold. One of my pleasant surprise, the escargot; not overly seasoned and serve covered with provolone cheese. The cheese mild that taste and it was just butter. I ordered the lamb chops, which came highly recommended; and I was not disappointed. The lamb was just perfectly prepared, not overly season, fresh, accompanied by fresh veggies, and an incredible potato. The wine pairing was just perfect. This is a great find for my next return to Omaha, hopefully not for a very long time, but at least I know that I can take some comfort with M's Pub.

My Favorite restaurant in Omaha! I travel a lot for business and find myself in Omaha at least once a year. Being a vegetarian I didn't expect a lot of unique options in Omaha, however I was pleasantly surprised with M's. I love their black bean cakes and lahvosh. The last time I was there I wanted to try something different so I tried the carrot dog. Definitely something out of the ordinary.... Once again pleasantly surprised. It was very good! Every time I have been there they have had at least 1 vegetarian soup too. Not something that happens often at most restaurants. My husband is not a vegetarian and he keeps going back for the lamb burgers. Once again not something you see everywhere.
(5)Erika s.
My husband and I were visiting from California and came to M's for dinner with family. Good crab cakes. Lavosh was decent. My husband ordered the prime rib which came with BBQ sauce? I'm not sure what that was about - but we're in Omaha! So maybe that's was a local thing. I ordered the halibut just to change up the pace - overcooked but edible. I ordered a shirley temple (I was pregnant at the time) - way too sweet, without enough bubbly! Bleh. I had to order a Peligrino to lighten it up. However, M's had a nice modern interior decor and was close to our hotel (which is always a plus!)
(3)Tom H.
Trying to balance the food and atmosphere vs the service. Everything started off well and our waiter/barman was great. Food was very nice. Then another server threw something in a nearby trash can and shards of glass flew into my wife's lunch and drinks. Our waiter took her food and replaced her drink after quickly apologizing; she had about a third of her lunch remaining - no offer to replace her lunch or get her something else. We expected to hear something from the manager but 20 minutes later the waiter delivered our bill which included the charge for her lunch. When I asked if he was going to comp is for her lunch, his response was ..."there wasn't that much left.". Things escalated from there...the manager did come over to speak with us after the waiter told him about the situation. We were completely surprised by his condescending tone. He took care of our check but it was a less than acceptable experience from an established, popular restaurant.
(1)Lisa G.
There's no question why M's is such a solid Omaha joint. It's a very classy, American bistro joint and they do it well. Lamb burgers during lunch are great!
(5)Wendy P.
Great large menu with a variety of choices. Had the cucumber sandwich on this trip and it brought me back to childhood. Will return here on my next trip.
(4)Caroline H.
My favorite place in Omaha - great food, large menu, hip venue (you could go after a night on the town or roll over there for a business lunch), always a great crowd. I will never tire of M's and HIGHLY recommend it to out-of-towners; it's an institution!
(5)Jamie H.
We went to M's because of you faithful yelpers! We enjoyed our experience, especially the ambiance. We went during lunch time and sat outside and got to people-watch, enjoy the nice weather, the beautiful decor, and the occasional flies=) Oh yeah. If you want an "inception-ey" experience, go to the bathrooms downstairs and pause to revel in infinite images of yourself. [they have a hall of full length mirrors that face eachother]. My hubby and I didn't know if it was "cool" OR "a little freaky". The hostess was friendly and not the bit annoyed to clear off our table outside. [you know how some hostesses act all entitled when they have to do things outside of their "job description". oy.] Our server was super friendly, and helped us to decide what to get according to her expertise=). We ended up getting the "love potion #9" cocktail, which is strawberry infused vodka and lemonade--, the vegetarian lahvosh, and the duck salad. The "love potion" was particularly tasty, probably because I'm a girly-girl and I like more fruity, less alcohol. Hubby thought it was "ok", but wasted calories=). The lahvosh was really tasty--as our server insisted, and I enjoyed the various veggies they topped it with...although, if I topped it myself, I would have used less olives. The duck salad, was not so great. The duck itself, was the highlight--but it was sort of dry. The dressing seemed to be a mixture of drippings from the duck and probably some sort vingariness? I wasn't super excited about it. All in all, the salad probably made the experience less pleasurable. If the food was better, I'd probably rave about this place--and, since I gave MARK's bistro a 4, I don't think I could say it was on the same level. Afterwards, hubby and I walked around for our first "old market" experience! I enjoyed observing all the happenings, hearing musicians entertaining from the streets, and strolling around.
(3)Jaime K.
Great food. I had the salmon special. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely go again.
(5)Jill P.
I visited Omaha the first time last week on business, we stopped here from lunch just off the plane, I got the lamb salad - it was wonderful!! I usually don't order lamb but I could tell from the menu it would be flavorful and it was! The fruit tea was good also. Thank you for treating me to excellent food while away from Chicago!!
(5)Ed C.
My friend & I had lunch today at this fine restaurant in the Old Market. For an hors d'ouevre, we shared the Baked Brie en Croute, which was Brie cheese, walnuts & jalapeno jelly stuffed inside puff pastry, baked, and served w/sliced apples. So scrumptious! I had the shrimp and vegetable risotto & my friend had the Pub Favorite club sandwich (turkey,swiss & cream cheese, red onion, & mayo on grilled pumpernickel). Both were delicious! Tiramisu for dessert which was garnished with chocolate covered espresso beans. Excellent flavor & a definite "pick up." Our server was very attentive. A very enjoyable experience & we'll be returning there soon.
(5)Nicholas F.
Great atmosphere! I wanted to take pictures of the entire place. It's nicely decorated and has an environment that is all at once sophisticated, comfortable, and hip. The food was delicious. I had the short ribs. They were fantastic. I recommend this restaurant enthusiastically.
(5)Tao Tao W.
We went there this weekend when a group of us went to Omaha on a MBA trip. There was about 21 of us or so. I ordered the Falafel platter while everyone else got either the new york strip or stuffed burger or pasta. The falafel platter was eh. I had better and it would have been really nice if there was hummus with it instead of just yogurt sauce. The side salad that came with it had a really good poppy seed dressing though. We did order the flat bread pizza which is called lahvosh i believe. We got the veggie one and that was really good. Everyone else said the new york strip was average but then again this place is a pub and you don't exactly expect a good steak from here. For dessert, i got the tirimusu which didn't come like it normally does in a square. instead it was all mashed up and looked like white chocolate moose instead with no lady fingers really. it was a big portion but a little too sweet for my taste. I prefer the old fashion style as i love tirmisu.
(3)Tyler F.
The most orgasmic tuna melt you've EVER HAD!! I had it 4 times in one week I was so obsessed with it and got the recipe for it! -It's a MUST at M's Pub!!
(5)Sara H.
This is one of my most favorite places to eat in the Big O. When I am there to visit my family this is a MUST have for me. I crave their escargot with my very soul. It is such yummy, buttery, herby, snaily goodness! I usually just get that and lavosh and leave so wonderfully full of pure decadent food. I think the M must be for MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
(5)Busted A.
Excellent food, fast & friendly service and a great atmosphere. This is one of our favorite places to go when we visit Omaha and go to the Old Market. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Natalie S.
I love M'sPub! It's a great Omaha-locale place, and I literally crave the Thai Lavash!
(3)Johanna R.
When someone had suggested this place to take my mother for her birthday, I was a little put off by the name. Take my mother to the land of big TVs? This was definitely not what I expected. First the place is just classy and inviting. Sitting at the bar, you can get just about anything. The food is definitely the deal maker. My favorites are the Shrimp Scampi and any of the lavosh dishes. It's just some place casual to take someone or to treat yourself!!
(4)Lisa S.
Ate here on our one night in Omaha. It was really good! We shared the smoked salmon mousseline app and the Reuben sandwich. Perfect amount of food for us! Loved the atmosphere; contemporary. The place was busy on a Friday night. Yelp didn't steer us wrong!
(4)Elizabeth B.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Had a delicious chicken breast with assorted veggies and enjoyed a wonderful window seat with some coworkers. A little pricey, but a nice vibe that's worth paying for. Steer clear of doing carry out. Had a really inferior experience doing this. Just go in and enjoy!
(5)Alex H.
M's Pub has been highly recommended to us to try and when we were first in Omaha we tried it out. The food was pretty decent but the service was definetely lacking. We waited way too long to get drinks and for the waiter to come back to see if we needed anything else after we received our food, which we did. Maybe the service will be better if there is a next time. With all of the competition in Omaha in similar products, doubt we will try it again any time soon.
(3)Alan R.
We tried this place based on Yelp reviews! It was excellent. A great ubran downtown atmopshere that reminded me of NYC. The menu was unique. I suggest you try the artichoke appetizer. The service was great. I will say that the hostess seated us and told us we had 50 minutes since they had a reservation for the table. I said that was fine but I didn't have any control over how quickly we were served. It turned out that the kitchen was a little slow on our orders. However, the server took care of the situation for us. Definitely worth a visit!
(5)Erin J.
We tried this place last night with out of town guests for the first time. It was fantastic. I had read in Food Prowl that M's Pub has the best crab cakes in Omaha so we got two orders of those to try. They were delicious. Our server (I wish I remembered her name) was phenomenal. She took our entire order and made not a single note. Everything came out perfectly. We each enjoyed our meals. I had the baked shrimp after reading rave reviews about it and it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend M's.
(5)Calvin Y.
M's Pub is located in Old Market and is the home to the best salad ever and a great list of martinis. I ordered the Wassail Martini, a clove-infused vodka with the flavors of apples and cinnamon. It's like eating an entire apple pie without the calories and the carbs, but with all the flavors! Pair that off with a Warm Duck Salad, shredded roasted duck on spinach with clumps of bleu cheese, candied walnuts all brought together with bacon dressing and a memorable lunch is made. M's Pub is the perfect place for a nice dinner with a cozy atmosphere fit for chatting and catching up with friends.
(5)The Prophet C.
We had a lovely late dinner at M's last night after 10 while on our way to fetch a friend from the airport. Menu is a perfect mixture of tried and true plus new creations. I can always find something to suit my mood. Couple this with the best rolls, fantastic service, and a consistent product and you have the BEST casual dining spot in Omaha. Timeless.
(5)Matt B.
M's used to be really good. Still a mainstay of Omaha's Old Market district, service was unresponsive, and food overall mediocre. Ordered a VERY expensive appetizer...Morell mushrooms in watery sauce with no flavor: $16. Worst part: Mushrooms poorly prepped so they were gritty.
(1)Josh H.
Had lunch with my out of town colleague here today. The atmosphere and décor are cool and relaxing. The service was top notch, very attentive young lady. The pasta was delicious as well as my salad. My colleague was quite impressed as well which made me happy for getting him a good meal. I am excited about trying the dinner selections.
(4)David G.
M's Pub is a staple in the Old Market. You have to eat here. Make sure you reserve a table as it gets quite busy, even mid-week. Excellent food, great cocktails and friendly staff.
(5)Luke I.
The cheese on our escargot was a bit crispy, but my wife enjoyed that aspect; the taste was still good. The service and food was very nice.
(3)Mike C.
Very lively spot. Good food. The Lavosh is front and center and rightly so. Very tasty. I could have stopped there. The burger, however, called me and it was really very good. Was entertained by the clearly ecclectic staff working the night I was there. Intrigued. Definitely would come back. So why not 4 stars? just not sure my experience was 'great' rather than 'good'.
(3)John S.
Mixed drinks were good, but a little weak. The food was good, but my sandwich didn't have some ingredients that were listed on the menu. Our server largely ignored us after bringing food so that was a little annoying. It was a nice restaurant, but I probably won't be back.
(3)Dustin H.
I've been coming to this place for years! It's always great, the service is consistent and it's easy to get in without reservations!
(5)Miguel R.
Came here with a dear friend, and it was amazing. So glad she brought me. The staff was crazy friendly, and the food was excellent. Don't need to elaborate more than that. Just go.
(5)Chase I.
Literally everything is good here. Yes, quite pricey, but everything is, hands-down delicious. I have had issues with slow service, but if you're not in any hurry, give them a try. It's my date-night choice for downtown Omaha.
(4)Pat L.
One on my favorites in old market. A bit high priced but you can't compete with the selection in Omaha!! Cheers!

This place is loud, and very crowded. I ordered a Reuben sandwich, and it was just okay. Ordered a margarita and it was great. My grandmother had ordered the Italian strawberry lemonade and it was way too strong. Service was not good, our waitress was nowhere to be found when we were ready to leave and wanted our bill so we had to ask someone else for our bill. I really would not recommend this place.

My first time to Omaha, and so the first time to The Old Market. A local took us to M's Pub for lunch. Great choice! Good food. Good service. Casual, but nice. A little eclectic. Menu had a range of good options. Place had a nice ambiance, and was packed for lunch. A bit noisy. The Old Market looks like a cool place to hang out for a weekend - exploring unique stores, trying the different eating spots, and I'm told that there's live music in some of the venues.
(4)Leslie T.
Cool, quaint, Old Market Omaha staple. My husband and I love the Chase Manhattans and the lahvosh...we have tried the traditional one, the Thai and the Tomato Basil one. All good!
(4)Maureen W.
Great atmosphere. Ordered house salad which was tasty. Also ordered escargot and shrimp scampi. For my first time having snails, it was really good! Covered in cheese and garlic and butter! I'd recommend it if you're feeling adventurous. The shrimp scampi was also delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes!

When I am in Omaha I always make a point of dining at M's Pub. A very good kitchen, excellent wine list, and great wait staff.
(5)Rick M.
Visited a dozen times. Last Sunday had a disappointing experience. Cold food, hot soup was only warm, lamb ordered medium rare served well done, and premium prices. Go to Vicace instead. Bring back the French Cafe!
(3)Jeff P.
Meh! Mediocre. Ok service. Dry and unflavorful ribeye. Very dry and bland wild boar chops. Good drinks. Great bar scene. Just get it together with the food.
(3)Annie G.
Oh oh oh Omaha. M's is one of my fave spots in O! town. The food -- while not totally and utterly fab -- is still really decent. And consistent - I've never been disappointed with the end result. But the real reason I love to go here is the ambiance. Great service, great space. I like the way I feel when I'm at M's But if you'd like to get specific, I'm going to have to give a shout out to the thai lavosh - it's one of their best menu items, I think. Delicious.
(4)Phil V.
Had a great experience here. I went on a Saturday night so it was busy of course, but they really had some unique options on the menu. There were so many in fact, we decided to order five entrees (there were only four of us) and just hand them around. The one that stuck out the most was the carrot dog. It sounds like the kind of dish we meatatarians would mock a vegetarian for making up, but it really was awesome. The service was good, the prices are fair and the food was great.
(4)Stefanie N.
Expansive menu and I've frequented this place several times...each time getting something different as I've yet to find an entrée that I absolutely love from here. I usually favor this place when the people I go with are unsure of what they want to eat. The food and service is good.
(4)Jason H.
Probably the best restaurant in Old Market. I highly recommend the Thai lavosh...... simply delicious. M's Pub is a crowded location -- but has an excellent selection of food. It's food to have a smaller group -- maybe 4-5 people. Usually when I go, I get the Thai Lavosh as an appetizer, side salad with their house dressing, and the chicken sandwich. I have never been disappointed by the food or service.
(5)Teresa L.
I was pleasantly surprised as I didn't expect anything with the word 'pub' in the name to have healthy options The skinny plate included grilled salmon and very fresh veggies. They also have a great wine selection. I'll be back.
(4)Nancy H.
Had a wonderful dinner during my first visit to Omaha. Sat outside with my son and enjoyed scallop ceviche, salmon, and pulled duck lettuce wraps-awesome! Finished the meal with a Scotty Smasher, a wonderful carrot cake with butter pecan ice cream named for our really fun waiter. Innovative cocktails too!
(4)George W.
Well, how do you say mistake? I went in for a steak. Everyone tells me I should order a burger, but NOooooooo, I go and order a steak. The steak isn't bad. It isn't great mind you, but it isn't bad. The service is good, the water stayed filled, and the beer was nice and fresh. So, if you are going to try M's Pub, try the burger please. I have to go back and give them another go, and order the right thing.
(3)D M.
M's Pub always a hit! Service is always very good and the food is great. The vegitarian Lavosh is amazing and the satays are great as well! We've never had something we didn't like! We'll be back again and again!
(5)Chad C.
There are restaurants with bars, and there are bars with restaurants. There is fine dining, and there is bar & grill. There is bistro, seafood/sushi, steaks and chops and French cuisine--and then there is M's Pub. It's a place you've never been but where you already feel at home. Between the service and the atmosphere you will find a comfortable place relax and dine. This review may be a little bias for the simple fact that I live in downtown Omaha, but as a person who worked and lived in the NYC restaurant/bar scene for nearly 10 years, I can say that with the menu, service and atmosphere you are guaranteed to find something you love about this place whether it is tangible or not. *I recommend anything off the Chef's Specials Menu and all the baked dishes. (i.e. lahvosh, scampi, escargot, brie and mushrooms). **The drinks at M's Pub are--to some--overpriced, but if you've ever been to Chicago, NY, or LA you will know that is not true. The bar shelves nearly everything you're looking for including their own vodka infusions. They also feature an award winning wine menu.
(5)Fernando A.
Mmmmmmm for Ms We waited for 1 hour for the food and it took 5 minutes to eat. And the food was ok...not the greatest nor worth the wait. Avoid peak times (we were here for lunch) and it might be a better place to have a good meal.
(3)Chris E.
Have been going here for over 35 years and I still love the place. Fair food but wonderful ambiance .... I know I'm in Omaha, in the Old Market, but, sometimes, I feel like I'm on the Continent ... someplace European and cozy. In this ever-changing world, it's nice to come back to M's Pub. Let's hope it stays the same for another 35 years. Cheers.
(4)Stacy L.
This is a "where the ladies lunch" type of place. Felt a little out of place, but the food was so good. I had buffalo chicken soup to start & then a California Club sandwich. No fries on the menu, the sandwich came with a small salad. The menu looked amazing & it was very difficult for me to narrow my choices. I will eat there again, once I hit every other restaurant Old Market first.
(3)Al L.
Had the chance to check this place out on trip. The steak sandwich was incredible. It was an open face and was very nicely done and the flavors were perfect.
(5)Janet E.
This place is one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. Lots of seating in this bar/restaurant! They have booth seating, table seating, and bar seating. The menu has a lot of variety and the food is served hot, delicious, and in big portions. The last time I visited, my coworker wasnt feeling well, so we basically sat down, had a few sips of our water, ordered our food, and then asked to have it packed to go. The waitress was very nice and understanding. Its located in the Old Market so you know it'll be busy during the usual feeding times.
(4)Albert L.
I came here for lunch and took a spot on the patio to do some people watching. The menu is very extensive. Since I came after the lunch crowd, service wasn't an issue. I ordered the lamb burger with an African Chicken soup. The burger was a big greasy for my taste but it was pretty good. The soup is where I have to give it minus stars. It was not hot, but luke warm. Any good soup tastes great hot. The food was overall good, but not superb as I was expecting. I'd come back when I visit Omaha though.
(3)Michael H.
This may be my favorite restaurant in the US. As a sales rep that has been in every major city and has dined at some great places at all stops, it amazing how great of a place M's is, and I can't find anything close (I've been trying for years). Good food, amazing wine list, always great service (especially at the bar) cozy room with an amazing view of the busy Old Market outside. Last, the prices here are ridiculously cheap. If M's were in New York or LA, you'd pay two to three times their menu prices. Don't change.
(5)Ed T.
My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for some time now. We just happen to be downtown and stopped in. Lucky to score a nice seat on the patio too. Dinner was good, drinks were good, and the service was excellent. Thanks for a nice experience, We will be back.
(4)Jennifer E.
Went here while traveling. Got in as the doors opened and the place QUICKLY filled up. Sort of up-scale - made me feel fancy. =] It was almost two years ago so forgive me for not remembering what I ate ( I kind of want to go with the falafel), but I do remember my salad was to die for. How can salad be that memorable?! I remember it was a pleasant experience and the waitress we had was simply wonderful. If I ever end up back 'round those parts, I'd probably go back.
(4)Garrick D.
Excellent all the way around, awesome staff, huge menu. Did not even try the famous Lavosh but cant wait to do so.
(4)Ryan t.
I had a patient that used to like to take me here for lunch, but he died, so I don't get down to M's as much as I used to. Don't worry, the food at M's did not kill him. Old age. If the food kills someone you know, does that automatically knock a star off of your previous rating. I think we should discuss this. The food here is good, but a little pricey. The good people who set the prices for the food here must have never eaten anywhere else or are deluded about how good it actually is, because the taste to Hamiltons ratio is askew.
(4)Nick S.
M's is a great place for lunch. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the place is super comfortable. Quality all around. I had a steak sandwich that was fantastic, and my girlfriend ordered a lamb burger with equal fanfare. We shared a Mocha Fudge Torte for dessert - an M's tradition - which was two parts insane dark chocolate, one part whipped cream and one part strawberry sauce. You can't go wrong with this place.
(4)R. O.
Slightly off the main drag in Old Market. We're so happy that we wandered over to check it out for lunch! Outside seating area is pleasant, service was friendly and efficient, and the food was outstanding. I had the carrot dog (with whole grain mustard, homemade relish, and sauerkraut) because it was too interesting of a concept to pass up. It was AMAZING. I will be attempting to duplicate it at BBQs for years to come. As a vegetarian in the Land of Steaks, I really appreciated the healthier, friendly menu options. We were in NE for a weekend wedding and I wish we'd had the time to return for dinner.
(4)Yusha-Marie S.
I originally wrote a terrible review for this place due to a not so great server and an overcooked steak. However, soon after posting the review I received a message from the owner apologizing for the service and asking if I would be open to coming in again on him. I took him up on the offer and enjoyed the service and meal the second time around. I feel strongly about thanking the owner at M's for caring enough about quality customer service to follow up. There are always hits and misses in life but I'm happy that at least M's is open to fixing their misses!
(4)Amy L.
I really enjoyed the baked Brie appetizer and the carrot cake for dessert. The wine was amazing and our waiter was great as well. *i would NOT recommend the falafel. but I am very picky about falafel as I've been eating it my whole life. Mine was mushy and for some strange reason it was pink.
(4)Sue C.
Don't be fooled by the name. M's isn't a pub in the traditional sense of the word. The name is more of a play on gastropub. Inventive dishes and cocktail menu. A rather large menu with everything from salads an sandwiches to lamb, steak, and fish. I had the Texas lemonade: vodka, lemonade, and a jalapeño concoction that was fab. Our table shared the baked escargot. (The baked dishes were recommended by our waiter and we were not sorry!) the airline chicken was also a great combination of ingredients, though someone got a little heavy handed with the butter in my rice. Overall, a great choice in Old Market. Sit outside if you can.
(4)Sieda J.
Came to celebrate my friends 29th birthday. We had reservations and had to wait 30 minutes which was a little annoying. We finally got our table and were squished in a corner. I had the crab cakes and veggies while my husband had the veggie pasta with chicken breast. My crab cakes were spicier than I'd like but my husband loves his pasta. I'm gonna go back to spot on a less busy night to give it another chance.
(3)SJ S.
Figs were great! Busy little place - but makes sense since they have good food and service.
(4)Abby H.
On top of having a ridiculously good looking staff, M's Pub has one of the top wine selections in Omaha. I have always enjoyed their corkage with some of their famous tiramisu The Baked Brie en Crote is absolutely fabulous, as well as the escargot. I typically order a lahvosh. They are wonderful. They have great lunch specials, usually with some kind of salad or soup for those who are veggin'. I would recommend this place for lunch or dinner - especially in the summer since it is right downtown and you can hear the music or watch the crowds.
(5)Kim J.
I don't know, we really enjoy M's. It is hard to get in here because it is a really busy place. Make a reservation!! We really like the lavosh and the excargot. Those dishes are both awesome. They have a nice wine list and alot of variety on their menu. I find the staff to be GREAT--I think we have always had good service!
(5)Rosalina R.
I just moved to Omaha a few months ago, this was the first place that I have eaten at that I had no complaints over...I really liked my food, the service was great, although our seat was kinda crappy but we didnt have a reservation and just walked in at 6:30 on a Sat. night. I tried the famous lavosh-it was good, but my husbands dish was very good-a good asian inspired dish , so was his soup-some sort of spicy asian cabbage soup! I will definately return here, but with a reservation...
(4)Pukar R.
A classy little restaurant with nice dining and good drinks. Their long island iced tea is quite good! This place is a bit small and on weekends, it's usually packed and very cramped. But I guess the limited space just adds to the character of this restaurant. Great for first dates, or any date, and with it being in the heart of the Old Market, everything else after dinner is just a hop away.
(3)Laura E.
Took my out of town family here for some local flavor. We had a spinach salad, cream of mushroom soup, chicken curry soup, florentine lavosh and thai lavosh. They were all tasty but the thai lavosh was the standout for sure. We also had bloody marys if you love bloody marys try it , very tasty! We also tried the elderflower champagne cocktail which was good but not exceptional. Serivce was good but took forever to seat us even though tables were open 3 people greeted us without seating us. I deducted a star for this but I tend to rate only the food because that's what dining is all about.
(4)Nicholas H.
My favorite restaurant in Omaha!
(5)Yo U.
I came here at the suggestion of a concierge, and he recommended a winner. M's Pub is a great little place. It is worth checking out, particularly if you want something other than fast food late at night and you find yourself near the Old Market area.
(4)Kristin M.
I've been coming to M's Pub for years, and it has held up to expectations without fail. It is one of those places where there is "something for everyone", and it epitomizes the idea of a classy, local establishment. If you haven't tried M's before while in Omaha it is an absolute must. They take reservations, but you do need to call ahead-recommend a reservation, as it is a popular place. I usually get their famed carrot dog, and their hummus started is so unique and just yummy. Their salads are also amazing and hearty (though FYI their included side salads are pretty tiny--no worries though since other portions are generous). Their burgers are filling, and since they don't have french fries you can get mashed potatoes on the side if you're craving starch instead of a soup or salad. Their wines by the bottle are also very reasonably priced. Again, a must try for Omaha's Old Market neighborhood.
(5)Kaite S.
Perfect place if you're trying to impress someone, especially if they're a foodie ;)
(5)Karina C.
I would say it's my go to place if going out on a Monday! Had the Omaha sandwich and it did not dissapoint! The Moscow mules are great! Was with a large group and everyone was happy with their option. Great service too!
(5)Miranda H.
Great food!! A bit crowded for a Tuesday night. bar seating is a bit crunched in due to the people walking between bar stools and a wall to get to their tables.
(5)Samantha S.
I walked by this place and something about it brought me in. I ordered an artichoke and sea scallops both appetizer portions. I was thrilled with my cocktail. The ambience was...mature? Let's just say I felt odd as a 27 year old girl but everything tasted great. I docked a star for pricing.
(4)Michael W.
Thai Lavosh! Gettin turnt up on this food and atmosphere is way too easy to do. Staff, environment and food quality blows the top off most all other staples in the Old Market. Not to mention the price point is super accommodating. Whether you're trying to pull off a match.com one and done, taking your in-laws out behind the woodshed, or looking for a lunch time bloody mary and quick sandwich turn to M's and you won't be let down.
(5)Kara G.
Baked shrimp and escargot is a must try. Thai lavosh is a favorite. Desserts are great! Patio seating is beautiful, especially during happy hour!
(5)Amiee H.
Always my go-to spot. Tremendous service, huge menu with diversity. Lovely Wines. Always good.
(5)David S.
Very nice restaurant. The dishes were very well done and the drinks were OK. I really liked their pizza, but their hamburger was nothing special. I will probably not return if I go back to Omaha again.
(4)Tom L.
Very good choice in Omaha. I wandered in by myself on a business trip and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Great people watching as the bar is lively and hip, yet the restaurant is casual and friendly. I tried the Vegetarian Lahvosh and it was delicious.
(4)Julia J.
every time i visit omaha, M's is a must. thai lahvosh = delish chicken pasta = divine crab cakes = delectable service = smart, stylish, makes o-town look good price = not bad for the quality of food and unique menu items
(4)Shiho F.
Excellent food and fun hip atmosphere. I tried the Whiskey Steak with Mashed Potatoes. Nicole said she tried the Carrot Dog out of curiosity (2 years pent up) and said, "Don't do it." Strawberry infused vodka was refreshing with soda but make sure to ask for a double or there isn't much flavor. Also with 2 shots the pink hue becomes brighter and much more appeasing to the eye. This is the first restaurant that I've dined in in Omaha and I must say I was surprisingly impressed. Great looking crowd and decent wait staff at this bustling restaurant. However, the hostesses could learn some new manners and the bartender rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe because I was the only other ethnic chic in the restaurant and I stole her thunder.

Did the ribeye...no regrets! Drinks were on point and the service was respectable. I would recommend sitting at the bar as it tends to get busy.
(4)Marc D.
I am updating my review as my more recent visit was very impressive. Service was attentive. right on point and fabulous. we started with an app. shrimp bake with butter and cheese in an escargot dish. (yummy) we tried both of the soups one was a cold mango soup and was amazing the clam chowder was ok. Now for the change. I had the surf and turf with basmati and it was fabulous. the shrimp was cooked perfectly tender and well seasoned. the steak was seasoned very well. very tender. My wife had the thai lavosh and it was as perfect as the dish can be with each element fresh and amazing. I am now a fan and am looking forward to going back again. :)
(4)Karina C.

(5)John C.
Fantastic escargot and flourless chocolate torte. I also like the roast beef sandwich. Classic decor. Fine menu. House Merlot is reasonable and decent otherwise wines are a little high. Occasionally service can be a little off when they are busy. Otherwise a gem in the Old Market.
(5)Michelle P.
The name is pretty misleading since the place is nothing like a normal pub. It's super nice, but not so nice that you have to dress super fancy. The salads are amazing and they feature the perfect mix of textures. Our waitress was very nice. The atmosphere is lovely.

Perfect place if you're trying to impress someone, especially if they're a foodie ;)

Got a tip to go try the Carrot dog at M's Pub, but we had just ate lunch about an hour before! Oh well we are on vacation it's ok to have a mid day snack and beer on a beautiful patio right, And you might as well get a Carrot Dog while your at it! Yes it's like a Carrot (grilled or boiled) taking place of a Hot dog on a bun with relish, mustard, ect. You might think that doesn't even sound that good, but dang it was quite light and delicious! We had them split to dog for us and then it also came with a sizable side salad, for the same price as one carrot dog, they didn't have to do that and my Brickwater pale went down smooth on a beautiful afternoon on M's patio! The staff was nice, The inside was beautiful, the bar looked great, the bathrooms were down a really cool hall and were also rad! We kept talking about going back to M's while in Omaha, but we never made it back! But we will at some point! If you have a Carrot Dog for under 7bucks that taste that good... Imagine what else might be up their sleeves!
(5)Kyle R.
Loved the atmosphere at this place. Service was great. The food was delicious. I wanted everything on the menu. Wine list was top notch with excellent creations also coming from the bar. My Moscow Mule was perfect. Great for date night or an evening with friends. We'll definitely go back to explore that menu, but will be tempted by their list of specials. Highly recommended.
(5)Me O.
I have dined here, over the years , probably more than 60 times. This may be my last. I am sad to say, they are losing their touch: 1) the tables themselves no longer feature white table cloths. They are now just beat up wood tops that need a good scrubbing. 2) the noise level is ridiculous. They make no attempt at softening the acoustics, so I could hear the women in the corner screaming at her kids like they were one inch from me. So that's no fun. The brick walls and hard surfaces need some noise absorbing treatments, it would be a much calmer experience if you could talk to the others at your table while you eat. And also hear some nice cool Jazz. They are lacking in the mood department. It's just not how they do it in New York, Chicago, LA anymore, they soften the noise so people can relax. 3) when we were handed the menus for both wine and food, they literally stuck to our fingers. They are absolutely filthy. My sister and I looked at the plastic sleeves that held the TORN paper menus, and we were so skeeved out. If they don't wipe down and clean/change their menus, then how worried should we be regarding the cleanliness of the rest of the operation? 4) the food is ok, nothing great. I had the black bean appetizer and it had a zesty sauce on it that was not so great. It covered up the tastes of the bean cakes so I scraped it off. My sister had a fish dish, and there was a piece of chicken on her plate next to the fish. Yuk. my mom had a salad, and it was just ok. We asked for some gluten free appetizers, as my sister is allergic to wheat, and they said they don't have anything like that. Wow,that is really behind the times. 5) after telling them my sister is gluten intolerant, they served us all bread. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, our waitress. 6) my sister made the long trek downstairs to the bathroom, and she reported back that there was a bucket under the sink, catching the drippy water from the pipes. Gordon Ramsey would really give this place a tongue lashing. Sad, but I can't support them if they can't even wipe down their menus. I would hate to see a black light shined inside this restaurant. Ewwww.
(3)Samantha C.
Pretty disappointed with this place. I had high hopes considering the yelp rating and reviews. We came on a busy night (Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood concert) and the only thing available was the bar, which was fine. But prior to seating at the bar, I had an annoying convo with the host. The host wasn't really friendly or helpful; he seemed flustered and preoccupied. When I asked him whether the small table behind the bar was available, he rudely said everything was booked. However, the table was still unoccupied when we left. I ordered their New York Steak and it was really sub par. Steak was cooked well, but it lacked flavor. It was also too chewy. The mash potatoes were delicious though. Restaurant itself was small and cramp, wish we went elsewhere.
(2)Jennifer E.
We were in town visiting friends and this was their choice to eat at on a Friday night. It is very busy. It was extremely loud as well as every table was full. The service did a good job based on the fact that we were so busy talking. They let us do it. The food was ok. Nothing blew me away. I found the menu a bit all over the place vs. focused. I think if they focused doing a few things well vs. trying to do it all. Most of the table had the flat breads and shared them. The Omaha one was the table favorite. I had the surf and turf satay. It was ok. A tad salty for my taste. We started with the ceviche and it was my favorite dish we had the whole night. I guess this place is a place to go in Omaha. At home this would be similar to a Chili's chain. It was fine for a dinner with friends on a random Friday night. I would not go here for a special occasion. I doubt I would go back for dinner in Omaha. Maybe lunch but not dinner. I would try someplace else. I thought it was a bit high for the quality of the meal. Two cocktails, two bottles of wine, a salad, a starter and four entrees was over $220 for four people. At home the quality would have been higher for that price point.
(3)Lisa S.
Ate here on our one night in Omaha. It was really good! We shared the smoked salmon mousseline app and the Reuben sandwich. Perfect amount of food for us! Loved the atmosphere; contemporary. The place was busy on a Friday night. Yelp didn't steer us wrong!
(4)Elizabeth B.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Had a delicious chicken breast with assorted veggies and enjoyed a wonderful window seat with some coworkers. A little pricey, but a nice vibe that's worth paying for. Steer clear of doing carry out. Had a really inferior experience doing this. Just go in and enjoy!

(5)Christopher K.
You have not experienced Omaha if you haven't experienced M's Pub. M's has, for decades, been the go-to culinary war horse in the Old Market, where patrons can always rely on a great afternoon or evening out. There's something for everybody at M's, whether you are a strict Vegan or a bloodthirsty carnivore. And the menu caters to budgets of any size. There's always a fun crowd living it up at M's, with a mood that is festive enough for a party, yet intimate enough for a romantic date night. It's an interesting menu, to say the least. For example, Vegans and vegetarians alike rave about the Carrot Dog. From the menu, it's a marinated and grilled carrot served on a whole wheat hoagie with lettuce, tomato, relish, stone ground mustard and sauerkraut. I must say I was really skeptical when I first heard about it. For one, I loathe cooked carrots. And secondly, I mean, c'mon -- a carrot in a bun for $6.50? But it's actually delicious, and with the small salad that accompanies it, it's a decent amount of food -- great value for your money. M's Lahvosh is also very popular and among my more favorite dishes. An Armenian pizza of sorts, M's offers at least eight different varieties. I pretty much like them all, so it's hard to choose, but I would say the most unique is the Thai version, made with grilled chicken, tomatoes, scallions, peanuts, basil, cilantro and Thai pepper sauce. If you're like me and you don't live in the area and have never eaten a whole artichoke, definitely try this when you come to M's. Cooked to utter perfection and served with drawn butter, lemon basil aioli and curried mayonnaise, each flower bud you pick off and eat is a little slice of heaven. As someone who was born in NYC and recently moved out of a heavily Italian area of Brooklyn, I really enjoy M's hot Italian sandwich when I'm spending a week in Omaha. It's a slightly more gourmet version of a classic Italian sub, made with pepperoni, capicola, salami and provolone on herb toasted sourdough, and served with warm tomato-basil dipping sauce. It's delicious and makes me feel like I'm right at home. The only miss I've had here recently was a special pork cheek manicotti. I'm not a huge manicotti fan to begin with, but it sounded interesting. But like most manicotti, the ricotta was just too overwhelming for the taste of the pork cheek to come through, and the tomato sauce didn't hold up too well, either. But truth be told, my favorite reason to come to M's is the cocktails and the service at the bar. The bartenders here are very friendly and excel at their trade. The bar sits right in the middle of all the action and is a great place to people watch, especially if you're like me and dine alone from time to time. Without a doubt, Omaha would not be Omaha, and the Old Market wouldn't be nearly as charming if it weren't anchored down by M's Pub. M's will always be in the rotation when I am working out of Omaha, and I always look forward to coming back for more.

The outdoor seating here was nice on a late August evening, so we stopped. We each had good steaks--my chipotle/coffee-rubbed ribeye was better than my husband's strip, but both were delicious. The mashed potatoes under the steaks were a teensy bit dry but tasty. The wine was superb but a tad too warm--room temp on an 85-degree night--and their wine is supposedly their calling card. And the waiter was nice but acted like he had too many cups of coffee, hyper and interrupting and talking too fasting. All in all, not quite excellent but extremely good!

From the carrot dog to the M's Burger, this place is delicious. Do it.

I was very happy with M's Pub tonight. My wife and I went out on date night. We called the day of and they were able to get us reservations. Our waitress was awesome. She offered some opinions on the menu that were spot on. I started with one of there martinis. It was very good but was very sweet. I definitely ordered a girlie drink and didn't realize it. I switched to an old fashioned afterward to secure my manhood. I ordered the house salad as a side and it was great. The veg was fresh and lush with a dill dressing that does not over power. For mains my wife ordered the chicken Caesar and I ordered the wagyu beef cheeks. Our meals arrived and my wife had a Caesar with steak instead of chicken. She didn't want to complain to she started to eat it. Our waitress came by and noticed the server brought the wrong salad. So, she just boxed up the correct one to take home. No problem, no charge. By beef cheeks were off the chain. Think the most tender flavorful pot roast, but more, you can think of. We had a great meal and date night. We will return.

5 stars.... Nuff said... Steak was OMG... The potatos under the steak were also OMG. The vegetables on side also Delicious. Great service, friendly peeps. I'll go back for sure.

Always fantastic! We had a really amazing dinner at M's last night. This is probably the 100th amazing dinner I've had there over the last 20 years. I can't believe this is my first review. Talk about making them work for it. This place is so consistently lovely. These days it seems like the food and service quality is all about the 'turnover' but at Ms it never seems to matter. The service is always great and the food is always amazing. Last night we had the escargot, shrimp scampi, Thai chicken flatbread, tuna melt, Cobb salad, surf and turf. ..hmmm, wine, beer and great company. Couldn't have been better!

I was here years ago and it was excellent. It is a fine dining establishment and prices aren't too bad. They have an expansive menu and great drinks (which bumped this from 1 star to 2 not to mention service was good). However I cannot give them anymore stars because the food was just not good. I chose Indian Lamb satay. Asked for medium. It came out medium well, tough, and a big piece of fat on a couple of the strips. My friend ordered the flat iron steak with mashed potatoes. They couldn't eat all the steak and gave me a bite. It was also ordered at medium and cooked medium well. It was OK. Not bad like the lamb. The mashed potatoes I was told were good. For a drink - margarita or sangria (w/o soda and instead a bit of St Germaine atop) were both excellent. I may be back for a drink in the future. But that's all.

Amazing restaurant! I went with my family to celebrate Father's Day and the food was so delicious. We had lavash as an appetizer and enjoyed it thoroughly. I ordered the lamb with a spinach salad and it was great, very tender! Also, the ragout the lamb was served with was tasty--it had a spicy flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant; my whole family was incredibly impressed & next time we're in Omaha we will be coming back.

My fiancé and I walked in. A woman approached us and asked "Can I help you"? I immediately thought that this was strange since when I normally enter a restaurant, an employee asks "How many [are in your party]"? The woman/ hostess? went to find out how long it would take to seat the two of us. She came back and said "Eight. You can sit at the bar if you would like." Neither of us were sure if she meant the wait was eight hours or if the first available table was at 8 (we arrived at approximately 6pm). We decided to take a seat at the bar. Once we sat at the bar we did not get service immediately. We were finally served by a man with a ponytail and a Monopoly tie. Food was alright. Service was lacking. We continually observed people coming in and the hostesses scrambling to explain their lack of available tables. It seemed as though their system was poorly planned and they heavily relied on their reservations. The Downtown area seemed as though many people were from out of town and were likely to walk into this establishment (rather than previously plan and reserve a table). Overall, the place seemed unnecessarily uptight, We still love Omaha despite this fucking place.
(1)Jessica S.
I really like M's Pub's food. I am a huge tuna melt person and there's is amazing. They are a little more on the pricier side, but, overall, there food is worth it. I haven't not sampled their alcohol. They are usually busy and calling ahead for a reservation is recommended.
(4)Anita C.
popped in for a late night snack and a night cap. I was pleasantly surprised when I asked the bartender (Chad) what he would recommend, and he was able to pick something off of each section of the menu. No hesitation just genuine opinions of what he liked on the menu. Being from California I can appreciate local supporting locally grown everything and M's happens to do that so my inner flower child was happy too! I ended up ordering the soup of the day and the Fresca cocktail simple but filling. **side note regarding professionalism: while we were there there was a women who had had a a very festive evening and she was overtly hitting on Chad. A little annoying even as a patron. Chad was even keel and engaging without being rude, when he easily cold have been. ***

Been here many times over the years. The atmosphere is top notch and the service has always been good. They always have new specials but the main menu seems to not have changed in many years. Today we stopped in for a drink and a snack, ordered the charcuterie board. The meat and cheese tray was mediocre, not a whole lot going on for 15 bucks. Will not let one so-so meal keep me from coming back. The place is always crowded and for good reason. Make sure to order the Thai lavosh.
(4)A. E.
Amanda was our server and she was very sweet and helpful. We ordered the tenderloin chicken salad that comes with artichokes and warm pita bread and it was so delicious. The checking was very well done and very well seasoned. I love it. Also the New York stake is highly recommended. Comes with delicious mashed potatoes.
(5)Seven L.
Disappointed , Everyone said it was the best food in town ... We found it was too hot inside , noisy and the food was just ok nothing special on any of our four plates . So sad

I fell in love with M's Pub, years ago. I even remember the first time I went with a group of friends for a late night dinner on Valentine's Day. The lavosh. I've been a fan ever since. Since Omaha is picking up the pace on a variety of restaurants, my visits are less frequent. So, when a friend suggested we go for dinner, I was pretty happy since I hadn't been there since Christmas time. I made a reservation and our table was ready. Right in front of the window. Excellent. Either the bar or in front are my preferred seating. We ordered the Thai lavosh, which I don't think I had before. It had grilled chicken, tomatoes, cilantro, havarti, Thai sweet chili sauce and peanuts on Armenian cracker. Great flavors, light but still filling. We are every bite. For my entrée I ordered the crab cakes. They're seared and served over pickled veggies and topped with sweet chili aioli. Usually they're more firm and a nice golden sear on the outside, but this was pretty mushy and way too much aioli. The pickled veggies were perfect. I still ate the entire meal despite the mushiness of both crab cakes. Our service was great. Waters immediately, drinks came out in a reasonable time, considering it was a full house. Appetizer came out in ten minutes. Pretty impressive I thought. I'll continue coming back here, even if it's only two to three times a year.

My 3 friends and I were looking for a place in downtown Omaha to grab a few drinks on a Friday night on a weekend trip and stumbled upon M's Pub. The ambiance of this place is quite a bit more classy than one would expect before entering. (read: not a casual Irish pub) Didn't get any food-- we grabbed a few stools and hung around the bar. They did have a decent assortment of drinks, and despite our bartender being friendly in general, the service was a bit slow. If we were to ever come back to Omaha, would likely come back and give the food a try-- the reviews do seem pretty enticing!!
(3)Leslie C.
M's definitely isn't a traditional pub. I agree with the reviewer who compared it to a gastropub: unique, tasty dishes right-sized (perfect for noshing after a long day), fun bartenders. It was the perfect stop for a later-evening dinner for my team the other night. We didn't have a reservation, unfortunately, so our group had to wait at the bar for a bit when we arrived at 7:30pm. We were told 10 minutes, but it was closer to a half hour or so. It's not the server's fault; the party at the table she wanted to seat us at decided to tie up the table way longer than she expected. No worry for us; our bartender was entertaining and friendly. He made some recommendations off the menu, so we were more than prepared when our table finally opened up. I had a basic steak salad which came with a chewy yeast roll. I was intrigued by the satays and the famous carrot dog, but I really just wanted something simple that night. I was not disappointed at all. I also enjoyed the house red (I think it was a cab?) I ordered at the bar. Nothing really stood out, which is why this isn't a five star review. Our waitress seemed a little distracted but took good care of us. But, when I compare this to my other favorites from Omaha - Nicola's, Upstream and Plank - it's hard to really compare fairly. M's is going to be on my rotation for future visits regardless; it's exactly what we were looking for that night, and it suited everyone in our party.

M's Pub is one of those hallmark Omaha restaurants. It sets the standard of what a good dining experience should be, complete with good service, an inventive menu and a fantastic atmosphere. That said, it's never been one of my local spots. This was once again exemplified on my most recent visit on a cold Saturday afternoon. It was before the dinner rush, so we were able to grab a table right away. My wife and I split an entree and appetizer -- the vegetarian lahvosh and the black bean cakes. The food was quality (as usual) -- the lahvosh was flavorful and piled high with plenty of great ingredients, especially great was the Havarti cheese holding everything together. The black bean cakes were also quite good. They had a subtle spice to them and paired nicely with the accompanying pickled vegetables. Still, nothing that will blow you away. The oddest part of the meal is that they start you off with a dinner roll and a pad of butter -- kind of Olive Garden-esque. The rolls were good and all but didn't necessarily go well with what we ordered. Still, I was feeling so good about this visit I even tried a house cocktail -- a rum-based concoction called the Sled Runner. Well, the flavors (spiced rum, coconut, house made blackberry bitters, etc.) didn't blend together at all. It just tasted flat. The consistency reminded me of a melted root beer float. For $9, I wish I had bought a couple beers instead. Or just stuck with water. Maybe M's has been around so long it just doesn't impress locals like myself anymore. There are just too many new and more interesting spots to try popping up all over Omaha. Funny thing is that M's is my wife's favorite restaurant in Omaha, so I'm surely coming back soon.
(3)Laura C.
My go to when I'm in the Old Market. It's a habit, albeit a good one! The Baked Brie en Croute is my weakness. And the Escargot dripping with butter and Havarti cheese. And the Thai Chicken Lavosh! So many choices, such a small stomach!
(4)Evan F.
Nice Gastropub down in the old market district. Atmosphere is that of a crowded night spot in a big city with lots of hustle and bustle through the space. We sat at a bar table for our dinner. I ordered the M's Burger which consisted of local ground beef topped with bacon and gruyere on a toasted onion kaiser bun. It was accompanied by a side salad which was light and refreshing. My dinner companions also enjoyed their meals, so I'd give this place the big thumbs up and say give it a try!
(4)Carrie S.
Visiting Omaha for the College World Series means you are always eating in a busy crowded restaurant. M's made us feel right at home without any hustle and bustle. We ate at the bar and enjoyed terrific service from the bartender. I ordered the steak salad and was served a beautiful plate of greens, onions, tomatoes, and perfectly cooked steak. On 2 other visits we enjoyed the Charcuterie Board, and the fish burger which is a grilled Mahi Mahi filet on a bun....outstanding!
(5)Aimee M.
This is a very nice restaurant with good service and good food. The type of people in the pub look rich and fancy. I also like the location of this place. It's very loud here ... So plan according.
(4)Sarah G.
Not a bad option for downtown dining, but M's might not be on my 'go to' list. I was honestly a little disappointed with our most recent dinner here for NYE. Some would say that you shouldn't judge based on a holiday meal, but I think this is when service, drinks and food should absolutely be at their best. Holidays like this and Friday/Saturday nights are when restaurants bring their A-game. And our meal last night fell a little flat. For starters, why at a nice restaurant like this would you charge for extra olives in a martini? Was someone taking advantage of this in the past? I understand that there's probably some labor involved in stuffing the olives with blue cheese - and maybe it's an expensive blue - but when we're spending $30 an entree, is there really call for charging an additional $1 for an extra 2 olives in a martini? Ranting aside, our meals were surprisingly devoid of flavor. Sad because I specifically ordered the Kijiki Marlin because of the description... raspberry-ginger coulis, Israeli couscous and goat cheese? Sign me up for that ride. While I ate all of the fish, I left the couscous relatively untouched as it seemed entirely unseasoned. The green beans were blanched - the way I like them - but also didn't seem to have enough punch for me. Maybe my taste buds were off? Bill had the opposite issue with his entree. The Vermicelli Bowl was entirely too sweet for his liking. And strangely, it was like no vermicelli I've ever seen before. Yes, the description listed 'green curry' but I'd imagined more of a Vietnamese cold rice vermicelli dish and less of a Thai green curry soup. He actually didn't eat it, due to a permeating taste of sweetness that wasn't palatable at all. This dish was graciously taken off our ticket with no questions asked. Appetizers were the highlight (and the warm rolls... a bag of which I seriously considered sneaking out of the coat closet). We started with the Chicken and Waffles, though I was much more impressed by the Foie Gras Parfait. Confusing name notwithstanding, it was more of a spreadable pate served with grilled bread. Huge wow factor there. And for obvious bonuses of location, ambiance and service, I'll definitely dine at M's again. It just probably won't be at my suggestion.

We are from LA and are spoiled out there with fantastic restaurants. I can get a bit snobby about food joints. Eight members of my family and I were needing a nice spot to eat that was kid friendly. I liked that the menu had so many great options but the yelp page said "not good for kids." I was so glad that I called to investigate. It was either the host or manager, sorry I did not ask, who answered the phone. He was so awesome! He said the restaurant loved kids and that they even had s kids menu...score! He took our reservations for 9 with only 30 minutes to spare. We arrived to the darling and historic open market area of Omaha where M's Pub is located. It was a Sunday evening so parking was not a problem. As we all walked in, the atmosphere of M's Pub was presentable and relaxing. The same man who had taken my call greeted me and seated us right away. Our server was fantastic and the food was delicious. I had the beef tenderloin, which was delicious and very filling. The table bread alone was so fresh and yummy. At our table multiple menu items were ordered from the escargot, artichoke, Philly steak sandwich, to the full chicken and ribeye entrees, all so yummy. The kids plates were great too. Fresh apples served on the side of pasta, a hamburger with a gourmet bun. My son devoured his burger ;) All around we had a great experience. I totally recommend and thank you to the staff at M's Pub for accommodating us so well.

I'm a HUGE fan of M's Pub! I've been to M's for several reasons - all of which include but are not limited to: having a great time, hanging out with great people, celebrating, wishing friends 'goodbye', and eating good (if not great) food. M's is such an awesome place to go that I doubt you could be disappointed. It's a little small when it comes to dining space, but they max out all the time. The turnaround in this restaurant is substantial. For my first visit to M's, I was going to a lunch meeting. The person I was meeting ordered escargot. While I've had escargot before, I wasn't really aware there was a place in Omaha that served it...and so well! I was pleasantly surprised and helped him eat his order. :) If you're a foodie, you'd do yourself a favor by checking M's out and bring your sense of adventure with you, too!
(5)Joel H.
I was very disappointed with my food at M's pub. I ordered the lamb satay and I strongly regret it. They asked me how I would like my lamb cooked so I asked for "medium." The lamb came out as a rare to medium-rare type. However, the main problem was that the lamb had such a high amount of fat on it that I could only eat half of what they gave me. I had to throw away the rest of the lamb because it was so fatty that I could not even chew on it. I expected this to be a really nice meal because it is one of the more pricer items on the menu. I'll try and attach a picture if I can. I also think the meal should have been served with more rice and feta cheese. There was only 3 small pieces of feta in the whole dish and what seemed like a very small portion of rice. Overall, I give this dish a 2/10 and would not recommend it to anyone. Besides the actual meal I thought M's pub had an awesome atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. I just wish this meal would have reached the quality I expected from M's pub.
(2)Mike S.
Definitely a 5 star, but to be fair I have to go with 4 since I haven't had everything here. In my younger days in the kitchens of Omaha I would come here only for the bar. Fantastic wines (which I knew nothing about) decent beer, but out of this world cocktails. The entrees have always been good and have not changed much over the last 15 years. That is good and bad. Some folks will rave about the escargot or warm duck salad. I could not care less about that. I enjoy a few items here and volley between them. The Black bean cakes with the citrus carrot and pepper slaw is delish. Julienne carrots and zest gently offset the mellow bean with a nice char on them. The Vegetarian lavosh was my favorite even when I was an omnivore. Then it happened. I got the carrot dog. Seriously. The carrot dog is awesome. Marinated and steam/grilled to a perfect dog-like consistency. On the side is a warm kraut and tingly brown mustard. Now that the bun is vegan I come here way more often than I need to. It is probably the cheapest thing on the menu and that leaves more money for drinks. The wine list is top notch. One of the other things that I like is that if you are sitting near the back of house you can actually have a real conversation with your guest and it will blend in with all the rest of the patrons noise. Privacy in the open My only issue that I have is that it seems as if the web designer has lost their job because it has not been updated in about 3 years. That is not good. These days with more people using the interwebs to look up menu items and prices this is severely outdated. TL;DR: Food is still the same and great. Wine is good for you. Website is not accurate

3.5 stars, but not quite a 4. I went here for lunch and say at the bar. This was recommended to me by a local. Reuben sandwich was recommended by the bartender, so that's what I got. It was ok. The sandwich was grilled and the meat seemed compacted. The slices were all laid flat on the bread, so it was just a dense block of meat. It was a nice portion of meat though. Nothing fancy and the taste was better than average. It came with a a very small bowl of lettuce. Some might call it a side salad, but I wouldn't go that far... I'd go back, but I'll definitely try something different and I'll try the lahvosh that everyone talks about. What I mean is, I'll go back when I need a break from eating the meatloaf sandwich at the Kitchen Table! ;)

M's Pub is a great dining option in downtown Omaha if you are having a fancy pants sort of day, but don't want to empty your wallet quite as much as if you were to go to a SUPER fancy place like The Grey Plume or V. Mertz. It's the sort of place you would casually go to lunch at while wearing a polo to enjoy one of their fancy salads (which are insanely fresh, green, and appetizing) or attend dinner at if, by chance, you are dating a banker or an artist who rebelliously left their upbringing in the Hamptons to the dismay of their white, upper-class family. M's Pub will make you feel fancy, but in the casual hush-hush sort of way. The "cool" sort of way. Dining at M's Pub has left me with all smiles and no complaints. I am glad, however, that my parents were in town to buy my lunch, and that my dad left his dinosaur t-shirts at home. This is the sort of place you wear a nice sweater to, you know? The staff at M's pub are probably some of the best-trained and professional I have encountered in Omaha, and the menu offers diverse options for those with alternative diets. My family--comprised of a vegan, a gluten-free vegetarian, a flexitarian, and two meat eaters--left very satisfied and happy. This is rare, especially in the midwest. The ambiance of M's Pub is fresh, classy, and modern. I was impressed with the amount of fresh food on all of the plates on my table-- whether it was the falafel, lamb kabobs, or an actual salad. The food at M's Pub is as high quality as the service. If you can afford it, I think this combination is worth paying the "nice evening out" prices. We all have our days of feeling like a fancy pants after all. For me, what would tip M's Pub over the scale into being a 5-star eating establishment would be seasonal menu items and more of a spotlight on local ingredients and dishes. Perhaps some specials as well? One or two works of true culinary genius? These are all things I think they are more than capable of executing, so I hope to see them raise their own casually high bar in the future.
(4)Suzy W.
The highlight of this restaurant is the drink and wine menu. They have a vast assortment, and I was happy with the sparkling rose I ordered to drink. My friend was also happy with her drink from the specialty menu. I ordered the Thai salad as my main dish, and I thought it was overpriced. There was not much chicken on the salad. It was not served with a hard roll like the menu states. My friend ordered the Thai lahvosh and was happy with her choice. The lesson I have learned is to stick with the lahvosh, which is what they are known for. The service was good except they did not refill my water in a timely fashion. Bottom line: good atmosphere, average food.
(3)SJ S.
Figs were great! Busy little place - but makes sense since they have good food and service.
(4)Zach G.
This place is so odd. By the name, you think it will be a laid back place. You walk in and see the white linen napkins. Then the menu - they're either $35-$40 or $10-$15, nothing in between. Either a $40 steak or a $11 burger. It's so odd. Not a complaint, just...odd. Our server was friendly, but everything was a bit slow aside from the actual food coming out. There were too many tasty sounding menu items, but I eventually decided on a reuben, and my wife chose a burger. We also got a cup of cream of mushroom soup. Starting with the soup, it was fantastic. Really delicious, creamy but not too rich. A dash of salt and pepper did make it better, though. My wife's burger was awesome - juicy, flavorful, a perfect medium rare. My reuben was really, really disappointing. The meat was really good, but it had almost no sauerkraut, and the bread...my gosh, it was pitiful. The bread made Wonder Bread look thick sliced. It was definitely a sandwich I could have made at home, and I was very disappointed. So...avoid that. They both came with small salads and a very tasty poppyseed dressing. Drinks wise, we both got cocktails...I got the Magazine (cucumber, gin, etc.), and my wife got a blueberry basil martini. Both were delicious. We would return, but just don't get the reuben, whatever you do!

I went in to my M's experience with high hopes, as a good friend had recommended the spot for a casual early dinner on a weeknight. The dining room was fairly empty, probably the norm for the early hour. We were seated promptly, then waited for about 10 minutes for water and a greet from our server. I watched other tables whom arrived after us get service immediately, and from the same server. When he finally made his way over, the attitude switched from blasé to seemingly annoyed. We did not want dranks. I, personally, was still recovering from the night before. We stuck with water. I KNOW that crap servers take the "I'll just have water" to mean "we're too cheap for buying drinks and will tip terribly", and this is an attitude which needs to stop. He left us to stew over our menu decisions (which we had already made), without option to go ahead and order food. Cool. More minutes passed, and I kept track of actual time elapsed because I know time creeps when you are on the party mend. When we were finally allowed to bother our server with a food order, my dining partner ordered a steak, and I ordered something off the specials menu. What was the special? I thought you'd never ask quietly to yourself. It was Duck breast w/Sticky rice, shiro miso, house made kimchee, a nori sheet, and vegetable. I, being a gringo who loves all Asian cuisine, was intrigued by the combination of Asian components in a 99% American food "gastropub". I like taking chances. I am also a huge Duck fan, but sometimes critical of its preparation. Our food arrived in a surprisingly timely manner, steak plate first to the lady, duck plate then crash landing in front of me. First glance told the story of the future of my portion of the meal. The skin was rubbery, with no color...they didn't follow the "Three R's" of duck preparation: Render, Render, and Render. This duck was obviously placed in a cold saute over meh heat, swished around a bit, then put in the oven to attempt a quick tan. I poked the breast and found it to be gelatinous...aka undercooked. Duck, to me, is best when Medium to Medium Rare, but when I cut into this specimen it was RAW. I'm a trooper, and I dined on the surrounding accompaniments as I waited for our server to do a touch back at our table so that I may send my duck back to the tanning bed. He never came back. Not to check on us, not to bring more water, not a thing until after I had already eaten what I could from my plate and given up on the duck. THEN he dropped our checks, took our plates, and walked off rather rudely. Back to the duck. The sticky rice was complete garbage, just chunks of lumpy oatmeal consitency rice (had they changed the description to congee, it would have been more appropriate, but still sucked), the shiro miso (aka white miso) broth was surprisingly under seasoned (aka, put more miso paste in the water please), the kimchi was just some wilted napa cabbage, and what I could eat of the raw, flaccid skinned duck was not only undercooked, but not seasoned at all. It was a complete 100% failure as a dish as a whole, and with each component. Some people work literally MINUTES on their career to attain such lowly lack of suck-sess. My partner's steak, on the other hand, was very good. Why wouldn't it be? It's a GD steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. Thankfully they can execute such a basic dish without sucking it up too much. The steak, however, did not make up for the other 95% of the experience being a wash. As for my friend who recommended this place: after I told her of my trials at M's she said she was "just kidding, I didn't really think you should go to that place". A little honesty would have saved you, the reader, all the minutes from your life you spent reading this review. I feel for the family of the duck, who's untimely loss of a loved one resulted in desecrating its memory with such a terrible dish. I don't even walk down 11th anymore.
(1)Ilona H.
The greeting, the service, the food and the atmosphere was great. Each lunch or dinner we had every server was always very knowledgeable and helpful with wines, food specials and so on. The quality of the food was exceptional the whole way through and a good time was always had by all. One might have to add that although it's called M's Pub it is not necessarily the typical British/Irish Pub I am familiar with.
(5)Dave B.
The food is really tasty, and on our first visit the staff were sufficiently friendly, our waitress engaging and attentive . However, during my latest visit I was surprised by how customers were treated. The hostess largely ignored the growing crowd by the door. A wealthy looking couple who walked in after us was warmly greeted and immediatly shown a table. The hostess and servers did not make eye contact, or ever say anything along the lines of"sorry for the delay, be with you soon." I get that it's a busy place, but a little politeness goes a long way.
(3)Lee S.
M is always a destination for me in Omaha. Great Nouveau Cuisine artfully presented as well as a 'kickin' wine list. I travel alone for business so usually sit at the bar. Knowledgeable and pleasant barkeeps as well as chatty bar patrons round out the experience.
(5)Ashley L.
Flat bread pizza is delish! Wine menu is extensive and food passing by looks great. Atmosphere is a bit loud but upbeat. Don't go here if you hate people and a buzzing atmosphere.
(5)Meghan F.
In a fantastic location, M's Pub is an otherwise perfectly good restaurant but nothing exceptional. Food was a nice mix of upscale pub food and new American, with the more creative dishes marked up accordingly. Our steaks were good, sides were fresh, and service was solid. I do have to give extra props for the wine list, which was expansive and interesting without being too overpriced.
(4)Joan S.
Oh MY GOSH! This is a follow-up to my last review. I have to tell you that first of all, I was very impressed with the owner's interest in making sure his customers are comfortable, happy and have a wonderful gastronomic experience, full of delightful comestibles. After my last "less than glowing" experience, he personally emailed me and invited me to the restaurant for a second chance, complete with a discount gift ceritificate. I'm so glad we took him up on it! We began with a complex stout beer for my mate and a crisp glass of sauvignon blanc for myself, followed by the salmon mousseline, the charcuterie plate and then, crab cakes for me and the bratwurst plate for my mate. The service, first of all was attentive and first-rate! Joanne/JoAnn/JoAnne? was flawless in her professional friendliness, expert recommendations and delivery timing despite it being very busy in her section. I noted her taking time to check on each table and administer personally ground pepper for another patron and never missing a beat with a larger table and the flow of delivery of food, service, beverages and check. VERY well done. This is the M's pub I remember and love. My mate, who is not from this area, was duly impressed. He was with me during our last visit so was a bit dubious when I suggested we return for the "second chance." No more. I''m so pleased to add this back to our "favorite" list. Thank you for offering us another opportunity to revel in your culinary delights. We'll see you soon and as often as our schedule permits!

The staff is very friendly, although I feel like those buying alcohol got a little more attention than those who are not (my table). I got the lamb Burger, which was delicious but a little undercooked in my opinion, I ordered it medium but it seemed a little too rare for medium. I also got the Buffalo chicken soup, which was full of flavor, highly recommended. The atmosphere and style of the restaurant is very unique, but typical of industrial vintage looking places. I think the prices definitely reflect the location and decor, in other words, overpriced. Would I go here again the next time I'm in Omaha? Probably, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit here either.

I feel like I got taken for $30.00 on a lunch ticket. It was so loud I didn't even know there was music playing until I stood up to leave. The food was bland and service mediocre. Maybe dinner has more to offer, but lunch was a big let down.

We were visiting Omaha overnight and stumbled upon M's. The location is great, conveniently located within walking distance of downtown hotels. The restaurant was very busy for a Monday night, so we took seats at the bar. The bar staff was attentive and knowledgable. They had a nice selection of local brews, and a nice variety of food on the menu. I had the Thai Lavhosh, and it was delicious. Will definitely come back here the next time I'm in Omaha.

M's Pub consistently delivers amazing food. Great selection of salads and Lavash. Wait staff does a fine job. Don't miss this jewel when you are in Omaha.

I don't know if M's will ever go out of style. Classic restaurant in Omaha that has definitely stood the test of time. On my most recent visit on a Monday night, it was packed as usual. I ordered the braised short ribs. They were tender and very flavorful, but my only complaint would be they were a little too fatty. I would say that a good third of the meat was pure fat. I actually didn't notice this while in the restaurant, but rather the portion that I got to go was no meat and all fat. The vegetables and puréed cauliflower that were served with it were delicious. I also appreciate the varying price points. If you stick to their standard menu, you can get a meal for under $20. If you order some of their specials the prices are higher more like between $25-$45 each. Generally, I would say that the atmosphere, service and food at M's is great. Lavosh is always a good choice.

Decided not to waste my precious time out and return. After long line and finally getting a table for my dear daughter and I whom have not seen each other living in different states. We waited for a waiter no pun intended, after the rushed gentleman took our order and another long wait. You have to realize we wanted to go to Borsheims and squander CASH at other side of town. We finally got our meal and I did not recognize it. Whose meals did we get? After a number of "I am sorry". We did receive our order almost correctly. It was food I think. Inedible to the most important palate. We gave a tip left abrupt and yelped again no pun intended, by by . Sorry we are not returning. We made it to a downtown jewelry store and I did shop no drop. Remember shop first eat second. Shopping is more predictable. Confusions opinion. An experience. My daughter and I could not stop laughing. Fun time had by all.
(1)Christy S.
i will always love this place and i hope it stays around forever. which its been around forever. it has the perfect mix of food, drinks, fun atmosphere. its always busy here, so make reservations. but so worth it. the patio seating is perfect. this is my go to when im downtown! love! great job to the staff!
(4)Cheryl L.
This is my second time here. Both times I received excellent service. The food is delicious. I had the pork Thai satay and it was really good. The baked brie is wonderful as was the Thai lavosh. I've had better bloody Mary's but overall my experience was good.
(4)Aretha N Mark R.
The star is only so I can leave a review. Was recommended by the driver of the hotel shuttle so I joined some fellow team members. Very cramped, very loud and service was extremely slow. Spent more time waiting then eating. Ordered the crab cake appetizer and a house salad. Nothing to cheer about. Food is bland and only spice is the sauce that is used to cover up that it is bland. I will not be returning and would recommend that if you go, have a lot of time to waste.
(1)Scott N.
Been here twice since and the food is delicious. The service is good. The mushrooms or shrimp or escargot (whatever you prefer, or have one of each) smothered in garlic butter and melted Havarti cheese is the best appetizer I've ever had!!! Slight issues encountered on my first visit were not experienced on subsequent visits. The food is very good and the menu is extensive. Could I eat the aforementioned appetizers all night? Absolutely! If friends come to Omaha, M's Pub is a must stop.
(4)Chuck B.
Great pub, nice beers, and the best burgers in the Old Market. Very nice service, ambiance and professional staff...great place.
(5)Yusha-Marie S.
I originally wrote a terrible review for this place due to a not so great server and an overcooked steak. However, soon after posting the review I received a message from the owner apologizing for the service and asking if I would be open to coming in again on him. I took him up on the offer and enjoyed the service and meal the second time around. I feel strongly about thanking the owner at M's for caring enough about quality customer service to follow up. There are always hits and misses in life but I'm happy that at least M's is open to fixing their misses!
(4)Amy L.
I really enjoyed the baked Brie appetizer and the carrot cake for dessert. The wine was amazing and our waiter was great as well. *i would NOT recommend the falafel. but I am very picky about falafel as I've been eating it my whole life. Mine was mushy and for some strange reason it was pink.
(4)Jordan S.
M's pub is an Omaha classic! My husband and I celebrate all of our special moments there! First I have to start off by saying that the staff there is phenomenal. They are great at recommending entree selections and are always willing to offer advice. We even had a waitress teach us the tables so that we knew which one to call in and request. (That is 5 star customer service.) My favorite appetizer is the Thai Lavosh. Literally one of the best appetizers we have ever had. I am one of those people who always order the same thing and that is no exception at M's pub. I always order the Asian Chicken Satay and it is ridiculously amazing. For dessert we ALWAYS get the carrot cake with butter pecan ice cream. It isn't on the menu that way but you must add the ice cream! It is ridiculously amazing. One of the waiters got us started on it during one anniversary dinner and we haven't been able to make it through a dinner without ordering it since. All of the great food and staff plus the atmosphere makes M's Pub a great choice for dinner in downtown Omaha!
(5)Lindsay M.
Whenever I travel to Omaha for the College World Series for work, EVERYONE knows we have to book a table at M's Pub. Great area, close to where we stay (Omaha Hilton) and ALWAYS great food. New York dining in Omaha.
(5)Steffi D.
I can't go to Omaha without going to M's Pub. Their unique vegetarian options are so creative and delicious even a carnivore would love it! They have a great mix of meat & veggie friendly dishes for everyone to enjoy. Wonderful service and a good vibe. It's a MUST!
(5)Stephen B.
Passing through town on a cross-country road trip, I asked a good friend who grew up in Omaha for a restaurant recommendation. M's Pub was on the list, only second to The Boiler Room. The latter was a bit too fancy for us road-weary folk, so we went with M's, which turned out to be a great decision. We arrived in the midst of the College World Series, so the place was packed, but the incredibly kind staff accommodated us quickly. We had a great table, and our server was very helpful, giving awesome beer recommendations. The only reason I'm giving M's four stars is because our appetizer was underwhelming. We got the whole artichoke with three dips, and while the dips were excellent, the artichoke was bland. It was boiled and wasn't salted at all, though the chef tossed on some spices at the end. It didn't help much, since the artichoke remained soggy and without taste. The dips, however, were all wonderful, though there wasn't enough of them for the entire large artichoke. The entrees, on the other hand, were rock solid. We had sandwiches: the Omaha Grill (tasty, beefy, awesome horseradish kick) and the Pub Favorite (a seemingly bizarre combo that includes both cream cheese and mayo, but it just works). The side salad was great, and I got a cup of chilled peaches & cream soup with fresh granola. This was definitely the star of the meal: not too sweet, amazing peach flavor, and the granola gave a nice crunch. Overall, it was inexpensive and the sandwiches were very tasty. When I return, I'd like to go for one of the bigger entrees, like the Beef Tenderloin or Duck Breast. Maybe we played it too safe with our selections? Either way, I'll definitely be back once I find myself in Omaha again.
(4)Colleen L.
Only disappointment is the prices. Great food, very friendly service, and lovely outdoor seating in the summer (prime location apparently - hard to sit outside and not run into people you know). I really enjoy this place whether its a date night dinner, or just a bottle of wine and dessert for a girls night out.
(4)holly f.
For a $17 salad I expected it to be more. Wasn't bad, I was just hugry when I left. They were really busy. So busy that I noticed food sitting waiting to be delivered and their phone ringing unanswered the entire time. Kind of annoying to listen to but maybe they were short staffed?
(3)Miranda H.
Great food!! A bit crowded for a Tuesday night. bar seating is a bit crunched in due to the people walking between bar stools and a wall to get to their tables.
(5)Melanie D.
I took my in-laws here a few weeks ago because I had heard some amazing things about "M's". When asking my co-workers where I should take my in-laws, I had three separate people tell me that this was their favorite restaurant in Omaha. We started with the shrimp and mushroom signature baked dishes which are smothered in butter and havarti cheese, what could possibly taste bad when prepared like this? These two appetizers made the meal for me. Although they are probably like 600 calories a piece, they were freaking AMAZING!! The entrees all of us got were a little bit of a let down. Definitely not the best restaurant that I have eaten at in Omaha. Honestly, if it weren't for the appetizers, I probably would have given it a 3 star review.
(4)Kat D.
I was in town for business and I decided to trust my fellow yelpers when looking for a place to grab dinner. I got the lamb burger with a side salad... Both were absolutely disgusting. I couldn't even finish the burger. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy (a little dramatic but it goes to show you how strongly I felt about my dinner). The staff was really nice though.
(1)Taylor J.
The lahvosh is amazing (all of them), I had the veggie kind for an appetizer and then the falafels for lunch. their dirty martinis and bloody Mary's are awesome. They have a long menu but everything is made perfectly. Always a treat to get to go here. They also have outdoor seating.
(5)Mitchell P.
This place is great! I had the wild rice blue cheese soup and it was amazing. Also for entree I had the Thai chicken Lavosh with sweet chili sauce and it was unbelievable!
(5)Gidel D.
Where do I even start? Is it the super simple, yet chic environment or the great wine list? Maybe the divine food or incredible waiting staff? Well I will just go in the order my brain takes me. I don't know why, but I always forget about this place when someone says "Where should we go eat?" However when someone asks me where my favorite place in Omaha is, M's Pub immediately is on my lips. I feel so sophisticated and French and grown up in this restaurant. Even when I had my very first date here, I was only 18, they were about to close, I had a chicken salad sandwich, but I still felt so classy sitting in there! I think it is a combination of two things. The environment is incredible. While kind of cramped - it is always pack, a good sign - it is absolutely beautiful with a mirrored bar and very interesting kitchen placement. Couples and some business people exchange words and I can't help but feel like I am in a movie. It isn't terribly expensive - I would say very reasonably priced - but everyone in there seems to have money, though not in a pretentious way. It is comfortable, while still maintaining an air of class and sophistication that I have only witnessed in Europe, particularly France. I think the service is the second piece that really make it special. It is unbelievable. The servers are prepared, tidy, knowledgeable, and very gracious. I detest when servers are rude to me just because I am young (23, writing this post). Even was 18, though, it was like I was a VIP and my business meant the world to them. As I have turned 21 and grown up in Omaha, they are patient when I ask about wines I would like to try with certain dishes. The food. Oh the food. I have tried many things on their menu and it is all delicious. However, for some reason the only thing I can really remember is the chicken salad sandwich. I'm not sure why that is, though it was absolutely divine. If you are looking for a simple, but elegant place to eat in the downtown area for reasonable prices and an overall great experience... This is your place. Cheers M's Pub! For always making my stay amazing!
(5)Angie M.
Sexy spot! Too bad I was here with co-workers. One more glass of that house merlot, which was WAY too good to cost only $5 or to be called a house merlot, and I would have made out with one of my implementation managers.
(4)Alex L.
We love the Wild Salmon, grilled styled salmon and perfectly served with corn cake. Cuban black bean soup is good too.
(4)Adam H.
Great place for work lunch and a drink in the old market- the Lavosh is key and staff is on point. I recommend this place- I need to try something other than the Lavosh but it's just so good- it's the pizza lover in me but also it's just tasty as hell.
(4)Samantha T.
M's has always been my go-to place downtown, and now that I live close by, it's still one of my faves! M's combination of ambiance and menu items, whether sitting at the bar, on the patio, or at one of their charming tables, always bring me back. I've never had bad service or a bad meal and I usually choose to stick around for the chocolate cake and coffee. M's is full of history and an Omaha staple; the place to be!
(5)Gregg M.
M's Pub is an Old Market fixture. It's a place I know pretty well having dined there on multiple occasions when I lived in Omaha. It's a restaurant that looks and feels like it could fit right in food meccas like New York, Chicago or San Francisco without a hitch. Understandably, it was a place that I thought was a good call for an early lunch on a sunny, warm Wednesday. Since it was such a nice day, I asked to be seated outside especially since the dining room was totally empty. I opted for the M's Falafel consisting of two grilled falafels served over toasted pita with greens, feta cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, calamata olives, and a spicy yogurt sauce. I added a grilled lamb skewer, which brought the total for the dish to $14.95. While I appreciated the more health conscious preparation of the falafels by grilling them vice pan-frying, the falafels were somewhat dense, warm (not hot), and mushy. Their flavor was good, but it couldn't overcome my preconceived notion of falafels. The skewer contained a reasonable portion of nicely grilled lamb. Unfortunately, the lamb was a bit tougher, more sinewy than what I've experienced at other restaurants. Nevertheless, it did possess nice flavor. My memory of M's Pub from previous visits was better than my experience on this trip. Perhaps lunch isn't really their strong suit or, more likely, I just chose the wrong menu item. Call it 2.5 stars...rounding up to 3 for ambiance and service.
(3)Jennifer D.
I really want to like M's but after a fourth visit I realize that M stands for mediocrity. The atmosphere is nice and it's in a cool spot but that's about as far as it goes for me. I've ordered different things each time hoping to be wowed but no. The Lavosh is tasty for sure so it gets 2 stars. The last time I visited I took a friend for her bday and the risotto was terrible- drenched in balsamic and too tangy. The other special was a meatloaf and it came out dry and kind of cold. Our waitress came back only sporadically and I had to either ask other people for things or get them myself. Not cool. So far Benson is quickly becoming my go to for decent food. Too bad it's not as close!
(2)Sandy B.
After a pleasant afternoon seeing the desert dome at the Omaha Zoo, we popped into M's Pub to see what they might have for happy hour events. Alas, no happy hour on Saturdays but we opted to stay even though they had an hour and a half waiting list. The bartender was very nice. At his suggestion, we ordered the veggie lahvosh for an appetizer at the bar and it was great. He ran out of the local dark porter beer and they only get beer kegs replenished on Sunday so we were out of luck there. After longer than the projected wait time, we were ushered to a bar table even though there were several tables on the dining room floor open or nearly open. When asked for one of them, we were told they were for the phone in reservations only. Being in the food service industry, I'm aware of the difficulty juggling reservations with the walk ins but this hostess didn't seem to understand the benefits of filling and turning tables as quickly as possible. (She informed me that the system she was using had worked for 25 years so why change it). As we dined perched on our high chairs in the bar, we observed at least 5 table open at all times. Some of these tables sat unoccupied for over 25 minutes during prime time! Not our business if a restaurant wants to turn customers away with lengthy wait list times while tables sit fallow, but if we'd understood that the wait list was due to incompetence rather than food quality, perhaps we'd try some other venue. We ordered the lamb burger and the Philly beef sandwich both were ok.
(2)Karan J.
Love the vegetarian lavosh! Large menu with wide variety of foods to choose from, friendly service, good cocktails - can't say anything other than good things, except maybe the parking. Weekends it is good to call ahead for reservations. This is in the heart of the Old Market with it's own historic qualities.
(4)James M.
Very middle of the road. Went with a large party, and while they were able to accommodate us, there was kind of a meh attitude towards us. Not sure why. I had a cocktail, a "something pig". Sounded interesting. Kind of underwhelmed, though. And after trying a table mate's version of the same drink, we realized that they tasted like 2 completely different drinks. So not very consistent. I did like our lavosh. My burger was pretty basic. Definitely a popular spot on the drag, but definitely pretty average. My hope is that there are other better places nearby, as the neighborhood has a great vibe to it.
(3)Evelyn W.
I love M's pub, always great consistent food and good service. I love how classy the enviornment is and the prices are not over the top expensive.
(5)Calvin Y.
M's Pub is located in Old Market and is the home to the best salad ever and a great list of martinis. I ordered the Wassail Martini, a clove-infused vodka with the flavors of apples and cinnamon. It's like eating an entire apple pie without the calories and the carbs, but with all the flavors! Pair that off with a Warm Duck Salad, shredded roasted duck on spinach with clumps of bleu cheese, candied walnuts all brought together with bacon dressing and a memorable lunch is made. M's Pub is the perfect place for a nice dinner with a cozy atmosphere fit for chatting and catching up with friends.
(5)The Prophet C.
We had a lovely late dinner at M's last night after 10 while on our way to fetch a friend from the airport. Menu is a perfect mixture of tried and true plus new creations. I can always find something to suit my mood. Couple this with the best rolls, fantastic service, and a consistent product and you have the BEST casual dining spot in Omaha. Timeless.
(5)Emily R.
M's is a great place to go with out-of-town guests or as an out-of-town guest visiting Omaha. It is very well-suited to this purpose because they have a fairly broad selection of dishes that will please a variety of palates. In our group, we had one omnivore, one picky eater, one who can't handle spicy food, and one vegetarian. We all really liked our food and shared the vegetarian lavosh, which everyone raved about. The portion sizes are very reasonable and I don't think I saw a fried thing on the menu, which is great if you want something other than standard Midwestern fare. Other observations: They have a few good local-ish beers on tap, which is fun if you like to try new things while traveling (as I do). Our server seemed a little snobby, which I thought was weird since M's is a pretty good restaurant in Omaha, NE. I don't like that attitude at all, anywhere, but come on. Really? Service was still prompt, helpful, and knowledgeable, however. The decor is understated and lovely. Beautiful high ceilings, brick walls, nice lighting. It is great to know about another good restaurant in Omaha generally & the Old Market specifically, as I am originally from the area and visit often. M's was a great choice for a siblings' night out.
(4)Fredrick B.
I hadn't been to M's Pub in over a decade--I no longer live in Omaha. Just as I recalled: in fact, better! A much more varied menu than I recall, from the healthier options, to rich dishes like lamb, steaks, etc. The service was fantastic, though the hostess was NOT friendly and was way too pretentious. Our waitress was quite nice, attentive just to the right level--not at all overbearing--and the food was perfect. I particularly recommend the blackened shrimp with avocado salad. Yummy! Glad I'll be returning to the Bog "O" again soon!
(4)T B.
Great atmosphere! But the food is starting to get a little old.. I wouldn't mind if some of the menu stayed the same, if they were to just get better ingredients, more local product and fresher veggies. I'll still come back again, but with so many great restaurants popping up, it won't be as often until they tackle a new menu! Btw, had the lamb which was incredibly expensive! And I don't mind shelling out the menu for a great dinner, but it was NOT worth the price or even half... but I'm reviewing based off what I expect before going in. I usually just come for the drinks and atmosphere, which was all fine.
(4)Tahmeka T.
We came here on a weekend trip. We weren't familiar with the area but a friend recommended this place. When we came in, we couldn't really tell where the hostess stand was located. There was no podium and no hostess. We sat at the bar. The staff was rude and short but I think it was bc they were drowning with a backed up kitchen and an outdated cash register/ticket system. The food was just ok and overpriced. The chefs needs to work on their plating, presentation is everything. The cocktails were the very best part. I wouldn't go back here just because we visited other restaurants with better service and food.
(2)Mya C.
My friend and I had heard great things about M's Pub so we decided to head there on a friday night. It was pretty busy in there so we opted to sit at the bar to our food and drinks. Once we sat down i gave the bartender my i.d (which was out of state because I was visiting friends). He stared long and hard then bluntly said "Nope cant take it" then set it down and walked away. Didnt even initially explain the reason why until i asked him once he came back around. His response was that Nebraska law stated that in order for a 21 and up i.d to be valid at a bar to drink it had to be a drivers license and not an identification card. This is news to me because every other establishment has taken my i.d and let me order a cocktail. My friend then politely chimes in "we should have known the law more bettter" (purposely using incorrect grammar to lighten the mood. His response was then "More better!???" in the most sarcastic and demeaning way. He was by far the rudest and unfriendly person working at a restaurant I have ever met!!! TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! I then spoke with the manager who clearly could tell I was upset by the way we were treated and she giggled and said "I apologize ladies" with a smirk on her face. Moral of the story is this place had TERRIBLE SERVICE. I wish we could have been able to try the food because I did hear it was amazing :(
(1)Shaunita J.
Someone took me here during a faculty interview. It was waaaay too noisy in here. I couldn't hear people sitting next to me. And there seemed to be a lot of old, overdressed wrinkly drunk people in there. Kind of messed up the vibe. (No disrespect to "seasoned" people, we just happened to be sitting next to a really loud group of them.) Had the vegetarian lahvosh (my first time trying it) and chicken satay. Both were great! Service was great, considering how crowded it was. A little pricey for everyday, but definitely a good date place. Would go again.
(4)Mozhi M.
Someone recommended M's Pub for dinner so my husband and I tried it tonight. The restaurant is in the hip Old Market where we are staying. Nice restaurant with good ambiance. Our lovely waitress was very friendly and gave us fantastic service; thank you miss J. Our soup and salads tasted good. For the main dish, I ordered the special and my food was excellent, just the way I like my steak, juicy and tender with mash potatoes and vegetables. I had no complaints there. Unfortunate for my husband though, he ordered the lamp and it was like rubber. He is a gentleman so he did not complain to the waitress and ate all his food. I could see he had trouble chewing and swallowing. I would have sent it back but he would not hear it; what a gentleman. The other disappointment was when our tiramisu arrived. It was something more like mouse with dough in it. It did not look like tiramisu and certainly did not taste like it. It was not even tiramisu gone wrong! I have a sweet tooth but the two of us could not finish one dessert. Either the dessert chef has never had real tiramisu before or he/she thinks the customers are ignorant! I am not sure how they can pass that dessert in their menu as tiramisu. Why not call it something else all together? Chef's special for example?! Will I go to the M's Pub to have dinner again? For the steak, yes, but will never order the lamb or tiramisu again!! I will be hesitant to order any dessert all together. If the M's Pub wants to be a 5 star restaurant needs to take every dish serious even the little tiramisu in a cup!

Walked in without reservations and since it was early afternoon we were seated right away. This is the fourth time we have eaten here, the first back around 1988. The place has really gone downhill since our last time here six years ago. Starting with drinks the waitress did not know what the Single Malt prices were and she had no idea what kind of Mojito's they offered. I got a huge glass of Macallan 12 for around $11, my wife asked for a cucumber Mojito's but it was flat. We flagged down the waitress and the bartender drained off a bit and added more stale club soda. The Charcuterie was very tasty but I felt the blue cheese did not go with anything else. I ordered the salmon entree and it was perfect, among the best I have ever had. My wife ordered the pork flatiron, when it arrived she cut it in half and it was very rare all though out. The waitress said that was how they always cooked it, we asked for them to cook it a bit more. For desert we had the creme brûlée and the chocolate marquis, both were just OK. We will probably eat somewhere else next time we are in town, too bad because this place used to be one of our favorites.
(2)Darrell H.
First time in and to eat here after living in Omaha for ten or eleven years on and off. Went for a date night with the wife and were not disappointed. It was excellent, both the food, drinks and service. An absolute must is their famous Lahvosh that was excellent indeed. We will definitely be back.
(4)Jeffrey M.
Tasty food, good service, reasonably priced. If you are veg/vegan you must eat a carrot dog. It was the star of our meal and so cheap.
(4)Jerrold D.
I was in town on business and came here for dinner one night. I enjoyed the food and the ambiance, quite trendy. The menu was extensive with a lot of variety, and reasonably priced. I had the meatloaf which was a combination of beef and veal, wrapped with a slice of bacon, and grilled, which was a nice touch and added some great flavor. The portion was just right. Additionally, the service was good. I'll be back.
(4)Ben R.
Love the food! Great experience and always get the best service. I take everyone here who comes and visits me from out of town.
(5)Justine R.
Good clean place with several vegetarian options and good wine
(4)Jon K.
Absolutely love this place, had the chance to eat lunch here on a recent trip to the O-Town! First of all, this place is located in the heart of the old market. It's an Omaha institution, and a couple of reasons are because the food is so good and the atmosphere is great. You can't miss with any of the lavosh, we had the Thai Lavosh and it was great. Additionally, we had the warm brie appetizer which was rather satisfying as well. For lunch, I had the Mahi sandwich, it was good - not great. This is the only reason they are getting four stars instead of five. Everything else was perfect. Our waitress was an absolute gem as well. I still highly recommend this great Omaha establishment!
(4)Matt B.
M's used to be really good. Still a mainstay of Omaha's Old Market district, service was unresponsive, and food overall mediocre. Ordered a VERY expensive appetizer...Morell mushrooms in watery sauce with no flavor: $16. Worst part: Mushrooms poorly prepped so they were gritty.
(1)Josh H.
Had lunch with my out of town colleague here today. The atmosphere and décor are cool and relaxing. The service was top notch, very attentive young lady. The pasta was delicious as well as my salad. My colleague was quite impressed as well which made me happy for getting him a good meal. I am excited about trying the dinner selections.
(4)David G.
M's Pub is a staple in the Old Market. You have to eat here. Make sure you reserve a table as it gets quite busy, even mid-week. Excellent food, great cocktails and friendly staff.
(5)Bill K.
Stepping into this warm, friendly and sort-of-hip place in Omaha's wonderful Old Market, it's no wonder M's has a solid four stars with 132 yelp reviews. The food was great, the atmosphere was comfortable and bustling like any great place should be, the food, beer and wine was top-notch. Servers were all super-nice and attentive. As usual, I sat at the bar, since I was on business and had no one to share a table with. But I had a fine dinner at the bar, and realized I'd found a great place within a short walk of the Hilton and the Qwest Center... I'll be back.

Walked into this place at 515ish on a Saturday afternoon and so glad I did! I was by myself so I sat at the bar and within 45 minutes of being there the place became packed. I would recommend reservations. Get a Moscow Mule! If you have never tried one of these little gems in a copper tin mug.... then do! The bartenders, forgot their names, were very friendly and did not disappoint when gave their recommendations on the food. I have never tried duck so I got the Seared Duck on a bed of Couscous with Red-Currant and Juniper Berry Sauce and a side of Vegetables. It was AMAZING! I highly recommend it. I went crazy and ordered a dessert also.... the Mocha Fudge Torte was the best I have ever had. Flour-less cake with strawberries and whip cream tasted like a little piece a heaven. I will definitely be visiting this place again if I ever find myself in Omaha again.

Great food, drink and service! Went here for a team dinner and waited a bit at the bar prior to seating. Sneaked a peek at the drink menu and got the pear martini: Perfectly crisp, dry and just slightly sweet ... perfect! Shared the crab cake appetizer with a coworker which was very good and not too bread-y. I had the spinach salad: delicious with warm bacon vinaigrette!!! The rib eye dinner was perfectly medium rare and served on a bed of wasabi mashed potatoes with asparagus and miniature carrots on the side. Atmosphere was very steak house-y and crowd looked upscale. All in all, a very pleasant dining and socializing experience.

Still a fan of M's Pub... but I don't know if it's changed or I have. On my past few visits when back in Omaha, I've noticed the food just isn't as good as I remember. I recently had the Omaha Grill which was not good. It was like a small girlled ham and cheese, except with beef, and it was greasy too. The little side salads with the poppyseed vingarette could use some more love too- the lettuce was all sad and wilty. The vegetarian lavosh was still very good.

Cool place to hang out, service is good and friendly and drinks are reasonably priced. Their food menu is vast and tasty
(4)Jessica Y.
Been here twice now. First, I ordered the lamb burger. It was tasty, but really juicy and drippy - I had liquid running down my hands and it was just really annoying to eat. I liked the simple salad that came with the burger; it has a raspberry viniagrette that was wonderful. The second time, I ordered the roast beef sandwich. It was nothing special, but good. I liked the horseradish dipping sauce it came with. My bf ordered a cajun chicken/seafood pasta dish and he said it was one of the most amazing seafood entrees he has ever eaten. He loved the sauce, and wanted to lick his plate when he was done. I gave this place only 3 stars, but I would definitely go back. Perfect for date nights; I went with a coworker and felt it was a little intimate for a professional one-on-one meal.
(3)Curtis R.
I went there at 10:30 at night on a Thursday expecting the "kitchen is closed" routine. They welcomed me to a table! I had an excellent rib eye steak, the service was excellent. My server was great. I would reccomend this place highly.
(5)Grant W.
Hungry while passing through Omaha, we looked for a place to grab a bite to eat. M's was well rated and open late. We stopped in and I immediately ordered a rast beef sandwich and Fat Tire. When the fare arrived, I dug in. The Beef was fantastically prepared and presented with a delicious side-salad, raspberry vinaigrette and horseradish sauce (Horseradish and beef being a personal favorite, I was enthralled.) The bread, however, was awful. to put such extraordinary beef on wonder-bread was an insult to all that is just and fair in the world. thin, soggy and flavorless bread wrapping an otherwise wonderful sandwich. I was horrified. Is it too hard to use rye, sourdough or pumpernickel? The lamb burger my friend ordered was served on a chewy, day-old, onion roll. The Verdict: So close to perfect but the bread brakes the sandwich
(4)Ashley B.
Food was satiating and reasonably priced. The drink menu was very enticing. Service was friendly and expedient. The space is not intimate...wouldn't go for a date night. But for people that like open spaces and high ceilings this is the place to be!

I got into town late and was looking for a good local restaurant for dinner. I asked the concierge from my hotel for a good place and they recommended M's Pub. I ventured down to the Old Market area of town and quickly realized that I was in the right place. The restaurant was still a buzz at 8:30pm so I took a seat at the bar. It took a few minutes before the bartender approached me but I wrote that off because they were still pretty busy. I finally got their attention and was able to order a beer and my food. I started with the carpaccio, which was good, and followed that up with the lamb burger. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with my food and would put this on my list of restaurants to visit again when in town. Lot of choices and good quality. Definitely recommend.
(4)Craig J.
Excellent service and atmosphere. Order the Lamb Burger. One of the best you'll find anywhere.

When I reflect on the last year or so, I can't help but think of two experiences - both of which caused me such colossal disappointment that, for days afterward, I wondered if good things would ever happen to me. The first: meeting an alluring goddess and convincing her to join me for a night of unforgettable passion, only to discover that she was the proud owner of a 6-inch ding-dong and testicles the size of cumquats. The second: eating at M's Pub Take just a moment, and it's easy to understand how these two experiences are very similar. Initially, you think it might actually be your lucky night. But, as time goes on, you realize that you're just getting dicked. M's Pub is, quite possibly, the most overrated restaurant in the city of Omaha. The food is sub-par, and proves just how idiotic some people truly are. The woman next to me was ceaselessly raving about her cucumber sandwich. She must have been so enthralled by the exposed brick that sticking cucumber slices between bread seemed like an incredible feat. At least she paid eleven dollars. It's cramped. It's loud. And, the servers are nudniks. Two stars for the Lavosh.
(2)Alanna W.
I have eaten here a few times during my trips to Omaha, and I really enjoy M's. The first time, we had drinks at lavosh at the bar. This was a year ago, and yet I still crave that meal. It was absolutely delicious, and a more unique offering of their menu. More recently, I went with a group during the busy dinner rush. We were in a bit of a time crunch, as we had to catch a flight. We told our waitress this, and she was really great about it. She helped us to order menu selections that would allow us to finish our meal given our rush, and she anticipated all of our needs to ensure that we were not late. She did so with a great attitude, and I really appreciated it. My fellow diners really enjoyed their meals, having ordered specials and burgers. I ordered the Indian Lamb Satay. It was good, but not great. I really love that the side offered is a salad, and I enjoyed the poppy seed vinaigrette that accompanied it. My one complaint about the dish was that my mixed greens were not quite fresh. My dining experiences at M's have been great overall, and I look forward to returning every time I am in Omaha.

This place is perfect for a romantic date night or a girls' night out. I love the intimate setting- it's comfortable yet I never go here without getting a bit dressed up. I've celebrated best friends' birthday's here and I actually took the fiance here for one of our first Omaha dates and he loved it. The food is good , the Thai Lavosh is my most favorite. It's comparable to crispy pizza, only instead of tomato sauce you have pesto or bbq and instead of the bread, you have crackers. It's awesome and hard to explain, so just take my word and try it. Their salads are all pretty great too- their dressings are fabulous. I love M's so much, I tried to secure this place for my wedding rehearsal. Unfortunately, they can't accommodate such a large group. :( They directed me to their sister restaurant, Vivace (also wonderful) but on the "Recommended Things to Do List" I'm including in out of town guests' baskets, M's is definitely listed! It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. Try to snag an outside seat in the summer, order a glass of wine, and enjoy people watching!
(5)Shawn G.
Five stars for: -The restaurant itself. -The hall of mirrors that leads to the bathroom downstairs. Four stars for: -The crab cakes with pickled vegetables. -The friendly, helpful service. Three stars for: -The only Malbec they offer by the glass. -The caesar salad. -The "surf" portion of my wife's Surf and Turf Satay. Two stars for: -Offering so many obscenely expensive bottles of wine, and so few wines by the glass period. -My burger. I probably wouldn't have eaten it if I weren't so hungry. One star for: -The "turf" portion of my wife's Surf and Turf Satay; Medium Rare does not equal Well Done, people. -The "burger" portion of my burger; Again, Medium Rare does not equal Well Done, people. -The price (for a place calling itself a "pub.") M's Pub wasn't a bad experience. The place itself is gorgeous on the inside, though a bit cramped on the patio. Unfortunately the food didn't deliver on the promise the decor made. We enjoyed some portions of our meal, but were very underwhelmed by others. Truth be told, I would probably give the place two stars on the basis of the food and its price alone... but the service, ambiance, and offer of free dessert over our overcooked meals (which we declined) bring M's up to a three. I wouldn't go back based on the meal we had there, but unlike my review of Crave, I feel like at M's we were just there on an off night. I think that they could give us a great meal if we gave them another chance, and that just might happen, though not for a little while.
(3)Luke I.
The cheese on our escargot was a bit crispy, but my wife enjoyed that aspect; the taste was still good. The service and food was very nice.
(3)Mike C.
Very lively spot. Good food. The Lavosh is front and center and rightly so. Very tasty. I could have stopped there. The burger, however, called me and it was really very good. Was entertained by the clearly ecclectic staff working the night I was there. Intrigued. Definitely would come back. So why not 4 stars? just not sure my experience was 'great' rather than 'good'.
(3)John S.
Mixed drinks were good, but a little weak. The food was good, but my sandwich didn't have some ingredients that were listed on the menu. Our server largely ignored us after bringing food so that was a little annoying. It was a nice restaurant, but I probably won't be back.
(3)Dustin H.
I've been coming to this place for years! It's always great, the service is consistent and it's easy to get in without reservations!
(5)Miguel R.
Came here with a dear friend, and it was amazing. So glad she brought me. The staff was crazy friendly, and the food was excellent. Don't need to elaborate more than that. Just go.
(5)Chase I.
Literally everything is good here. Yes, quite pricey, but everything is, hands-down delicious. I have had issues with slow service, but if you're not in any hurry, give them a try. It's my date-night choice for downtown Omaha.
(4)Eliana C.
Prices were a bit high compared to the quality. We sat at the bar while waiting for a table on a Tuesday night (9 pm) and overheard the waiter bad mouthing a Chicago customer who he had a bad experience with. I tuned him out , very unproffessional. Once we got to the table we ordered the Omaha and Parma lahvosh and two soups, a spinach soup and Thai chicken soup. Both soups tasted bland. The Omaha Lahvosh tasted a bit burnt and the Parma was too salty for my taste (my bf loved it). The dinner rolls were a bit dry and hard to rip apart. I had a pleasant experience with our waitress, but the food won't have me come back next time I visit.
(2)Adrian B.
Only been to the restaurant once and I'm glad I attended after reading the great reviews. This is a proper Saturday night dinner treat. The place was packed which was a good sign, fortunately I had a reservation. Even on a busy night the service was on point. The escargot was great, bit too much cheese but still fresh for the Midwest. We had the Daily Market Special which was fresh Hawaiian Sun Fish, lightly fried in a skillet placed on top of a potato pancake spiced with fresh paprika. The fish was complimented with a light mango sauce and fresh garden green beans. The dish worked on so many levels from the spicy potato to the fresh fish down to the sweet mango sauce. It was bloody amazing. This is the place to go for a upscale but still unpretentious meal experience. We will be back!
(5)Marc M.
"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" ... In Omaha Just kidding. Thanks to Yelp, we walked to this street of restaurants and ended up here. Seriously, if you do not like this place, there are a ton of great, unique restaurants all around here. It might have been the incredible weather, but for a Monday night, this place was packed. The menu is diverse, and the specials list was even more impressive than the standard fare. We started off with a combo-appetizer of escargot and shrimp. It came in a standard escargot dish, but instead of just butter, the app has a coating of cheese (Gruyere?). It was good and unique, but based on the cheese, I would not order it again. I had the M-Pub house salad, which was my favorite thing I ordered. The cucumber salad dressing was perfect, light and did not seem fattening like some creamy dressings are. Nice touches were the sunflower seeds and grated cheese. By the time the entree came, I figured out this place likes cheese. I ordered the Omaha Lavache (sp) - basically, shaved roast beef, sauteed onions and mushrooms on top of cheese on a flat-cracker. It was good - a neat twist on pizza. The potions were adequate and not overwhelming. Service was excellent, with the server providing recommendations that helped, as well as accommodating our requests.
(5)Kate G.
Average, totally average, BUT it's pretty convinced it is perfection incarnate. I've probably been here a half a dozen times, always thinking it will be great this visit! It's a beautiful place, the atmosphere is quite lovely, classy, a great downtown chic spot. But that's probably the most impressive element of Ms. The food is good for the most but definitely not amazing and I've actually had a couple of specials that were pretty bad (especially considering the price). It's the host/hostess service that is really frustrating. The last few times I've been, I've ALWAYS gotten static at the door. Either no one was there to greet us for maybe 5 minutes, or the person would barely speak to us, offering very little in the way of a greeting and definitely making me feel unwanted as a customer. This is both with AND without a reservation.
(3)H S.
Atmosphere was good. Service was so-so. Margarita was mostly tequila and no flavor. Beer selection was tiny.
(2)John M.
All I have to say is, wow. I have been into M's twice now, and both times walked away very very impressed. I had special steak with mashed potatoes and greens the first time and a salad the next - both showed up quickly and the quality is beyond comparison in Omaha thus far. Parking can be tough. I will write a more thorough review when I have been there a few more times.
(4)Pat L.
One on my favorites in old market. A bit high priced but you can't compete with the selection in Omaha!! Cheers!
(4)Mike S.
This place is loud, and very crowded. I ordered a Reuben sandwich, and it was just okay. Ordered a margarita and it was great. My grandmother had ordered the Italian strawberry lemonade and it was way too strong. Service was not good, our waitress was nowhere to be found when we were ready to leave and wanted our bill so we had to ask someone else for our bill. I really would not recommend this place.
(2)Bryan M.
My first time to Omaha, and so the first time to The Old Market. A local took us to M's Pub for lunch. Great choice! Good food. Good service. Casual, but nice. A little eclectic. Menu had a range of good options. Place had a nice ambiance, and was packed for lunch. A bit noisy. The Old Market looks like a cool place to hang out for a weekend - exploring unique stores, trying the different eating spots, and I'm told that there's live music in some of the venues.
(4)Leslie T.
Cool, quaint, Old Market Omaha staple. My husband and I love the Chase Manhattans and the lahvosh...we have tried the traditional one, the Thai and the Tomato Basil one. All good!
(4)Jefferson L.
Ordered the Tuscan Lahvosh. Similar to pepperoni pizza. I felt a bit unsure about ordering such a creative dish in the land of red meat. But I was not disappointed. It's basically a super thin and crispy pizza. They do 'em in a dozen different flavor combinations including Thai and seafood. I had wonderful service served up by Scott - the bald guy with not one, but two earrings. Space is a nice commingling of bar and restaurant. Perfect for a first date. Outdoor covered patio. Open late. Their computer system is programmed slightly wrong and they over-charge the tax on your bill. I mentioned that, and Scott said he'd work on it.
(5)Maureen W.
Great atmosphere. Ordered house salad which was tasty. Also ordered escargot and shrimp scampi. For my first time having snails, it was really good! Covered in cheese and garlic and butter! I'd recommend it if you're feeling adventurous. The shrimp scampi was also delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes!
(4)William C.
When I am in Omaha I always make a point of dining at M's Pub. A very good kitchen, excellent wine list, and great wait staff.
(5)Rick M.
Visited a dozen times. Last Sunday had a disappointing experience. Cold food, hot soup was only warm, lamb ordered medium rare served well done, and premium prices. Go to Vicace instead. Bring back the French Cafe!
(3)D M.
M's Pub always a hit! Service is always very good and the food is great. The vegitarian Lavosh is amazing and the satays are great as well! We've never had something we didn't like! We'll be back again and again!
(5)Chad C.
There are restaurants with bars, and there are bars with restaurants. There is fine dining, and there is bar & grill. There is bistro, seafood/sushi, steaks and chops and French cuisine--and then there is M's Pub. It's a place you've never been but where you already feel at home. Between the service and the atmosphere you will find a comfortable place relax and dine. This review may be a little bias for the simple fact that I live in downtown Omaha, but as a person who worked and lived in the NYC restaurant/bar scene for nearly 10 years, I can say that with the menu, service and atmosphere you are guaranteed to find something you love about this place whether it is tangible or not. *I recommend anything off the Chef's Specials Menu and all the baked dishes. (i.e. lahvosh, scampi, escargot, brie and mushrooms). **The drinks at M's Pub are--to some--overpriced, but if you've ever been to Chicago, NY, or LA you will know that is not true. The bar shelves nearly everything you're looking for including their own vodka infusions. They also feature an award winning wine menu.
(5)Matt W.
Ate here once so far on a recommendation. The boss man didn't steer me wrong! Lamb burger was awesome, very juicy and tender. Throw in a draft pint and I was out the door for $21 including 18% tip.
(4)Maggie F.
The buffalo chicken soup was fabulous! Love the location, the food is delicious, but the service could have been better. It was slow even though it wasn't crowded & I had to work REALLY hard at getting my waitress to notice me. Not good, lol! For that reason I can't give this more than 3 stars. Feeling frustrated & slightly embarrassed doesn't go well with lunch :)
(3)Christine B.
Wound up at Ms Monday night after commencement at the Qwest. Had the daily special...homemade rotini with four cheese and bread crumbs. Yup, fancy mac'n'cheese. This addition to my review is to give you the heads up....if it's on the menu, order it. The rest of our meal? The shrimp was cooked well, the pesto was so-so (a change in pasta and a pinch of salt would do wonders), the buffalo chicken soup was tasty (but lukewarm), the creme brulee was burnt. But the mac'n'cheese...ate it up like a fat girl before a famine.
(3)Albert L.
I came here for lunch and took a spot on the patio to do some people watching. The menu is very extensive. Since I came after the lunch crowd, service wasn't an issue. I ordered the lamb burger with an African Chicken soup. The burger was a big greasy for my taste but it was pretty good. The soup is where I have to give it minus stars. It was not hot, but luke warm. Any good soup tastes great hot. The food was overall good, but not superb as I was expecting. I'd come back when I visit Omaha though.
(3)Nick S.
M's is a great place for lunch. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the place is super comfortable. Quality all around. I had a steak sandwich that was fantastic, and my girlfriend ordered a lamb burger with equal fanfare. We shared a Mocha Fudge Torte for dessert - an M's tradition - which was two parts insane dark chocolate, one part whipped cream and one part strawberry sauce. You can't go wrong with this place.
(4)Andrew H.
M's Pub is a nice little place with some mirror walls. Was in Omaha and my coworker did not want to go out so I went out walking and decided to give this place a try. Menu is pretty unique and prices a little high, but good is pretty decent. On the special's menu they had some steak and other options, but the appetizers caught my eye. I had the diver scallops with duck prosciutto, quail egg, and some bread type thing. It was smaller than I thought as I only got about two scallops each with a little piece of the duck and the egg fried over easy on top. One of the scallops was on top of the bread type item. It was really good and had great flavor and sear, but it cost more than the burger I had for my meal. They do give you a roll with butter that was warm and really pretty good. My entree was the burger that is local beef that they actually cooked medium rare. The bun was nice and overall a good burger but nothing really special about it though. I did not like how the mustard and ketchup came in little condiment containers for you to put on. It looked like basic French's mustard which was sad for a place like this. I got the spinach salad instead of the regular salad which was small, but had good flavor and bacon dressing is pretty good (bacon does that to things). Service was really good, and food came at proper times which was nice, but was a little slow between appetizer and main course. This is a place I want to try some more times when I am in Omaha. For now it is about a 3.5 star place so 4 stars rounded up. Cook the food well, but it lacks some flavor touches that would make it great. Will have to update when I try some other dishes like the pizzas I saw others eating.
(4)Natasha S.
I couldn't have asked for a finer finale than: Black Bean Cakes. Expecting culinary underwhelmment* in downtown Omaha, NE, instead we got flavorful blackened shrimp in a generous salad topped with sizable avocado slices and these oh my g black bean cakes, a soul satisfying huge thick steak and mashed potatoes, a brimming over extra dirty ketel one martini and embarrassingly great service at embarrassingly reasonable prices. I long for Omaha. And really, why the f*ck not. * media.merriamwebster.com… . Use it!
(4)Philip S.
Might be my favorite place to dine in Omaha. I really recommend it. Food is delicious. Servers have always been polite. I have always been seated pretty quickly. Check it out.
(5)Jeff K.
I can't believe I forgot to review this place, this was such an adventure. When a bunch of us were driving through Nebraska, we were determined to find a steak house. You know how we associate Omaha with steaks:-D After getting some directions from national car rental place, we decided to ditch the downtown area for this old market area. We ended up getting very lost anyway in some trailer park neighborhood with the same street numbers near the airport. It took us almost an hour to get here from the airport first time around. It really should have been about 10-15 minutes. When we finally got to this nifty little street, we saw life sign for the first time in Omaha. It was a bit weird to be driving on empty streets in a city in the middle of a work day. We were happy to see people. There weren't too many, but civilization was well appreciated. Of course, beers on tap were very welcome as well. When I was trying to order, the waiter insisted that there are better things to order than steaks, so I took his advise and ordered buffalo chicken soup and a lamb burger. The buffalo chicken soup was excellent. Who would have thought having buffalo sauce and bleu cheese in the soup would taste this good? Now the lamb burger....it was my first encounter with a lamb burger of any kind. This was heavenly. The last time I enjoyed a burger this much, I was sinking my teeth into a juicy kobe burger in black and blue (in Buffalo) and getting my foodgasm. This tasted completely different of course. The meat had a perfect blend of fatty minced lamb and spices. It was freshly pressed and cooked to perfect medium rare. This was truly exceptional. Now, you might wonder why it's missing a star from being exceptional? Well, on the way back, we decided to stop here again. You guessed it. I ordered lamb burger again. Instead of a medium rare lamb burger, they served me a well done lamb burger. It was still excellent and tasty, but it was such a waste for the meat:( I also found an interesting trick I never noticed. The waitress had the bartender pour me a local draft beer. Then she decided to shoot the doo doo with other for a good 10 minutes while the beer gets warm. Now, good beers are perfect fine in room temperature, but this was just um.....ok, it needed to be chilled. Maybe it doesn't need to be as chilled as coors light or heinny, but it needed to be cold. Anyway, it was just sitting there getting warm. Finally she decided to bring it over. She took a straw and stir it to create some bubbles and brought the beer over as if it still has some head. I was not amused to say the least. That was pretty funny, but I was too tired and thirsty to even make a comment about it. It's just too bad the food and the service can be so inconsistent. This could have been an awesome must visit place.
(4)Jonathan E.
This is my favorite restaurant in Omaha, period. A good date spot, a good business dinner place, a good place to take friends etc. Etc.... epic service and food. Prices are spot on. I LOVE this restaurant
(5)Ben K.
Pros: Good location, ambiance Cons: The food, the hype, pretty much everything else M's Pub is good, don't get me wrong, but like much of the Old Market, it's overhyped and overrated. Now before you stone me for my thoughts, let me explain. Anytime you talk to someone about Omaha, they will tell you go to the Old Market and zoo. I agree the zoo is something special, and the Old Market does have some charm, but it isn't as great as everyone makes it out to be. It has mostly above average eateries and bars, and M's Pub fits in that category. The food is typical pub faire with some twists here and there. iIt's loud and it's pretty crammed inside. On the other hand, if you are new to Omaha or visiting, it's a good place to see action and activity. M's is definitely becoming somewhat of a tourist trap, and I'm getting a little nervous because of that. Not a bad place to eat, but not this amazing place either.
(3)Jennifer H.
If you have to try one thing, try the Salmon Mousse. It is absolutely amazing. Served with red onion, artichoke hearts, dill sauce, hard boiled egg and homemade cracker...it is incredible!!
(5)Sylvie S.
Came here for lunch and thought it could easily be one of those overrated downtown tourist traps. Instead, I was suitably impressed with the great ambiance, service, and food. More of a French bistro than pub, the lunch menu was extensive ranging from Thai-inspired chicken satay to steak salad. Service was attentive - water was quickly refilled despite having our own carafe at the table. And the food... it was unexpectedly good. I tried the buffalo chicken soup, it was amazing. A creamy puree of all the flavors in buffalo chicken wings, studded with chunks of chicken, then topped with bleu cheese. The spinach salad with bacon dressing had the perfect balance of smokiness from the bacon crumbles and sweet/sour from the dressing, without any greasiness. I have a feeling you probably get the best value at lunch. It's about $10-15/person. Dinner prices are more than double. The place gets crowded quickly, so go early.
(4)Jimmy H.
Went here for lunch and ate at the bar. Service was good. Pricing is appropriate as the quality is good. Enjoyed the food. Seems to be a lunch hangout for ladies.
(4)Jonathan H.
On a recent visit I was a bit disappointed and here is why. Normally we stick to the standard appetizer, salad, sandwich, and light entree menu. We were celebrating a birthday so a splurge was OK. My wife ordered off the dinner special menu and was completely unsatisfied with here dish (as was I.) She ordered a halibut dish for $34. That is some serious coin in our book. The dish arrived as described on the menu but lacked flavor of any kind. Don't get me wrong, the fish was perfectly cooked and being halibut, I already knew that particular fish didn't have a ton of natural flavor. Everything else was great as usual including the service (which goes a long way in my book.) Is that worth knocking it down a star... maybe, maybe not. But for this reviewer, spending $34 and getting an extremely bland dish is just not acceptable. From now on we will just stick to the regular menu and I know I can add that star right back. Cheers.

I wish I could eat cheese without consequences. Me: "So would it be pointless to order the M's Baked Dishes if I asked to hold the cheese?" Waiter: "Yeah, basically." Me: "So what about the lahvosh? Would it defeat the purpose of the dish if I asked for no cheese on that too." Waiter: "Yeah." I ended up getting the vegetarian special and the artichoke appetizer. I forgot how much a pain in the butt it is to eat a whole artichoke. Sucking on the artichoke leaves to get that little bit of meat is probably not worth the effort. I forgot what to do when you get towards the middle, so I asked my waiter and he was extremely helpful. The vegetarian special was pretty good. I had to get it without the Romano cheese basket but apparently it's not as integral a part of the meal, so the waiter let me order it. :) The way they seasoned the grilled baguette was absolutely amazing. The combination of different types of mushrooms was also pretty interesting. I'm glad they had a couple of microbrew options on tap (in addition to Bud Light and some other mass market brew). Prices are very reasonable, especially for the non-specials.
(4)Meridith G.
I love the Greek Sandwich and their home made salad dressing but I am not a fan of their Spinach Salad. It was very oily and lacked flavor. Their Lahvosh has good flavors but is dry and usually luke warm to cold. Also the extra charge for take out is a little ridiculous. I am mixed on most of the other dishes I have tried but I will keep going back for the Greek Sandwich.
(4)R. O.
Slightly off the main drag in Old Market. We're so happy that we wandered over to check it out for lunch! Outside seating area is pleasant, service was friendly and efficient, and the food was outstanding. I had the carrot dog (with whole grain mustard, homemade relish, and sauerkraut) because it was too interesting of a concept to pass up. It was AMAZING. I will be attempting to duplicate it at BBQs for years to come. As a vegetarian in the Land of Steaks, I really appreciated the healthier, friendly menu options. We were in NE for a weekend wedding and I wish we'd had the time to return for dinner.
(4)Tara J.
Like Mary Poppins, M's Pub is practically perfect in every way! I was in Omaha for a visit last weekend and fell so in love with this place that I ended up there on three separate occasions. What did I love about it? Atmosphere: The space is simply gorgeous. It's charming, tasteful, warm and inviting - an effortless blend of up-scale and casual that makes everyone feel at home. Food: I had the falafel dinner and it was delicious! The falafel patties are nicely spiced and the veggies were crisp and fresh. M's has a nice choice of vegetarian options and it looked like quite a few could be easily veganized, which I always appreciate! Drinks: I had 2 cocktails that were among the best I have had in a while - the first is their take on a Manhattan and the second was the M's Toddy. Delicious! They also have a nice beer and wine selection. Service: One word - impeccable. The bartenders and waitstaff were incredibly friendly. They remembered my friend and I and made a point to say hello on our subsequent visits. Table service was just right - our server was present when we needed him without stopping by too often. They employ some of the nicest (and most attractive!) people around. I adore M's and will be stopping by on all future visits to Omaha!

I have to confess right off the bat that in my multiple visits to M's Pub, I've only ordered one thing: the Omaha lavosh -- a sort of giant flatbread cracker topped with roast beef in a horseradish cream sauce. I've tried other people's food (at my table, I mean-- places tend to kick me out when I walk around asking for samples from strangers) and always found it to be exemplary, but M's is known for their lavosh, and it's easy to see why. (And by the way, if the Omaha doesn't sound like your thing, don't worry -- there are many different lavosh toppings on the menu.) Food aside, there is a good wine list and a full bar. If you ask anybody from Omaha to list the best places to eat here, M's is bound to be near the top of the list every time. The only complaints I've ever heard all have to do with waits for tables or occasionally slow service, but since this is probably the busiest place in the city and it's been packed every time I've been there, I think those are both just the inevitable result of the restaurant's own popularity. Do not be deterred; waits are the sign of something worth waiting for.

I have been coming to this place for 28 years. Although I no longer live in Omaha, nor do I visit this spot as frequently as I once did, I make it a point to stop in to see what's new or if anything has drastically changed. I am happy to report, No! M's Pub is still a damn good place to eat or meet up with friends for a few (or many) drinks. The food is just as good today, if not better than it was all those years ago. And even though I have changed, what, with more hair now gone and the face slightly worn from wear, the faces behind the bar & staff still recognize and welcome me as an old friend. For those of you that want a home away from home, this has always been the place. For me ... it's always nice to go home.

Best value for money in Omaha. The selection is large, service is very good, the wine and cocktail selection adequate and well informed. Everything that has come out of their kitchen, well prepared, fresh and delicious. The hamburger is juicy charred bacon-ey goodness and their seared salmon is divine. If you like it cooked all the way through, better tell 'em. I like mine rare. This will be your first choice for well informed, semi-elegant dining.

So here's the deal: I'm from out of town and EVERYBODY was like, "YOU HAVE GOT TO GO TO M's IF YOU GO ANYWHERE." My friend and I seriously waited for a 9:15 dinner reservation because we were convinced this place would knock our socks off. But from the get-go, we just weren't impressed. The menu was all over the place. You could get anything from a ribeye to a corn dog. We asked our server (who was very friendly) what she might recommend, and she gave a confused look and suggested like 25 things...not helpful! They also had an enormous wine list (plus), but the menu was kind of greasy and there were a lot of typos (minus). Our meals were totally edible, but just standard fare - nothing that really impressed. The house salad was ENORMOUS but made with cheap iceberg lettuce. The place was PACKED so clearly everyone likes the place, but if someone were to ask me where to eat if they only have a couple nights in town, this one would not have been on my list. We were treated well, but the menu needs a serious retooling.

Was recommended this place by three different locals when I was visiting. It did not disappoint. Located in the Old Market district of town. Ruben sandwich, the soup of the day( I forgot what it was but it was great) and a little "gourmet side salad that came with the sandwich were fantastic, and I drink lots of iced tea and the refills were seamless. Great service as well.
(5)Kristin P.
Checked M's Pub out at lunch one day...loved it! Loved the atmosphere, the friendly service and the food was great too. My favorites: the brie appetizer and the baked dishes...can you say yummy, cheezy goodness?! And I love that they not only serve the escargot baked dish in an escargot plate...but also the other two are served in them as well, the mushroom and shrimp baked dish. Perfectly baked and perfectly delicious! :) And, it's located in Old Market...love this area.!
(4)Audrey C.
When all other date spots are too busy or closed this is my husbands and my go to place. We've never had a bad experience. Consistently good, and good rotation on their daily specials. The tuna melt is incredible! And the stand by for us. It's easy to see why this place has been so successful for so many years in the Old Market.
(5)John Y.
Hmmm... a very mixed review. I walked in on a gloomy, rainy day, so the place felt very soothing and inviting. We started with the Thai lavosh. Never heard of such a thing until I came to Nebraska. It was quite good; I'd define it more generally as "Asian" rather than specifically Thai. But my lunch itself was underwhelming. I ordered a turkey reuben that was served very limp and spongy. Gross. I got it with a side spinach salad, which was OK. So if you go, I recommend ordering something else. There are lots of other options on the menu.
(3)Rick A.
EXCELLENT SERVICE!! We came here on the recommendation of a colleague. The food was good, the atmosphere was open and fun... the service was excellent! They found us a table without a reservation, the waiter was entertaining and engaged us in conversation, he was informative and offered suggestions, and he was very attentive. At the end of our evening, my wife left her purse. We had a 6am flight out the next morning and didn't realize until then. I called M's Pub from Seattle that afternoon, talked to the manager who took my information, verified my name and address with the ID in the purse, then took the purse to a FedEx office for us and shipped it back to us in Seattle! Above and beyond!
(5)Alan R.
We tried this place based on Yelp reviews! It was excellent. A great ubran downtown atmopshere that reminded me of NYC. The menu was unique. I suggest you try the artichoke appetizer. The service was great. I will say that the hostess seated us and told us we had 50 minutes since they had a reservation for the table. I said that was fine but I didn't have any control over how quickly we were served. It turned out that the kitchen was a little slow on our orders. However, the server took care of the situation for us. Definitely worth a visit!
(5)Erin J.
We tried this place last night with out of town guests for the first time. It was fantastic. I had read in Food Prowl that M's Pub has the best crab cakes in Omaha so we got two orders of those to try. They were delicious. Our server (I wish I remembered her name) was phenomenal. She took our entire order and made not a single note. Everything came out perfectly. We each enjoyed our meals. I had the baked shrimp after reading rave reviews about it and it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend M's.
(5)Dave B.
I admit from the start that I don't get what people see in this place. I've visited yearly or so for 15 years and I still don't get it. Tight little room with average food. This last time the reuben was ok, but I can do better at several little bars around town for much less money. My wife's salad was Appleby's level with weak dressing. The kicker was the scotch and water. It was made with water that had been poured through the shadow of an empty bottle of scotch. Absolutely the weakest mixed drink I have ever paid for, and I have paid for many thousands. M's, I just don't get you.
(2)Royal B.
M's really is an Omaha standard when it comes to both food and service. Great food that has flavor and flair. Service that is comfortable and attentive. This is not comfort food, this is GOOD food people! Yes, you will spend a little more for both food and service, and worth every dollar.
(5)Phil V.
Had a great experience here. I went on a Saturday night so it was busy of course, but they really had some unique options on the menu. There were so many in fact, we decided to order five entrees (there were only four of us) and just hand them around. The one that stuck out the most was the carrot dog. It sounds like the kind of dish we meatatarians would mock a vegetarian for making up, but it really was awesome. The service was good, the prices are fair and the food was great.
(4)Stefanie N.
Expansive menu and I've frequented this place several times...each time getting something different as I've yet to find an entrée that I absolutely love from here. I usually favor this place when the people I go with are unsure of what they want to eat. The food and service is good.
(4)Jason H.
Probably the best restaurant in Old Market. I highly recommend the Thai lavosh...... simply delicious. M's Pub is a crowded location -- but has an excellent selection of food. It's food to have a smaller group -- maybe 4-5 people. Usually when I go, I get the Thai Lavosh as an appetizer, side salad with their house dressing, and the chicken sandwich. I have never been disappointed by the food or service.
(5)Teresa L.
I was pleasantly surprised as I didn't expect anything with the word 'pub' in the name to have healthy options The skinny plate included grilled salmon and very fresh veggies. They also have a great wine selection. I'll be back.
(4)Nancy H.
Had a wonderful dinner during my first visit to Omaha. Sat outside with my son and enjoyed scallop ceviche, salmon, and pulled duck lettuce wraps-awesome! Finished the meal with a Scotty Smasher, a wonderful carrot cake with butter pecan ice cream named for our really fun waiter. Innovative cocktails too!
(4)George W.
Well, how do you say mistake? I went in for a steak. Everyone tells me I should order a burger, but NOooooooo, I go and order a steak. The steak isn't bad. It isn't great mind you, but it isn't bad. The service is good, the water stayed filled, and the beer was nice and fresh. So, if you are going to try M's Pub, try the burger please. I have to go back and give them another go, and order the right thing.
(3)Phil P.
M's is a spot I could eat at daily. The menu is very diverse and has something for everyone. Check it to see for yourself. Service was good, but the food was great!
(4)Romain C.
This place was nice and the food was great. April was nice and a great waitress. I've been to Omaha a couple of times and I've eaten at Old Market which I've always enjoyed. This year I'll try this place out. I read most of the reviews and was intrigued to try the Thai Lahvosh which I did. I thought I've been to enough places to know what a Lahvosh is or even see it on the menu, but I've seen it on three different restaurants' menus here in Omaha, of all places, no offense to Omahans. It was really good and big. I could only eat half of it. Maybe it's because I started with the escargot, which was pretty good too. The dish had 6 compartments but it had 2 or 3 pieces in each. I probably had 18 altogether. It's been a long time since I ordered escargot, but from what I remember, I would only be served 6 at other restaurants. No complaints here. The beer I had was Fat Tire, which started to grow in me and I'm glad they had it here. As for dessert, I had the Chocolate Marquis which was ok.
(4)Björn S.
Grate place. We went here based on the rating at Yelp and it was accurate. I hade the Salome and I might have thought that I liked quinoa more then what I remembered but the salome was perfectly cooked and my girlfriend had the Snapper witch was perfect. I wish Id ordered it.
(5)Sophie C.
Weeknight and couldn't get in - had to wait a long time for a hostess to come and tell us that there was a 45 minute wait. The restaurant really needs a waiting area. We went and got a drink and then returned, but we had to wait another 15 minutes (after told 45 minutes) in the middle of the restaurant basically. Once we were seated the service was acceptable, the burgers were delicious, and we weren't rushed (granted there were empty tables at that point). Decent prices. I'd try it again.
(4)Patrick P.
Surf and Turf Satay was awesome!
(4)Betty J.
I am not sure what all the hype was about? I had a cup of the coconut shrimp soup with lunch, I think the soup was better than my steak sandwich. The sandwich had a lot of gooey sauce that made it soggy. Also the caramalized onions had no flavor and the steak although sliced was disappointingly chewy. They had great looking salads, my friend had one. If I went back that is what I would get. Our server was perfect! We sat at the bar she was awesome!
(3)Stacy M.
M's is one of the more popular places in the Old Market, according to tourists and locals alike. I asked several folks where to go. They all suggested M's, and for good reason. I'll start with the most important part of anyone's meal- the dessert. The chocolate torte was so good lookin' I starting making eyes at it. And, true to form, it was love at first bite. " I wanna take you home and treat you right", I cooed, savoring its decadent dark chocolate richness. "I'ma gonna send you flowers n' call you the next day, just to see how you doin". Ooohhhh.... just fabulous. Uhhhh... so, I'll break out of my reverie to tell you about the rest of the meal- wonderful. I had sirloin steak, expertly prepared, of course. BF had pork satay. Pork Satay in Omaha? Aye, and it was mighty good as well. The service was great too. Our waitress, who was just wonderful, accidently dumped a carafe of water onto our table and into my lap. Without missing a beat, towels were offered and our desserts were comped. I watched her then handle a group of table squaters with such professionalism that I wanted to write a letter to management about her. I can't say I was a fan of the cheese covered shrimp and escargot appetizer that everyone raves about, but otherwise I'd recommend M's to anyone looking for a great meal in Omaha.
(4)Anh V.
m's pub just plain rocks! i came here to celebrate an event and the bartender was super fun and friendly. plus she pointed me to the best thrift store. i've had their yummy lavoshes before but today was a steak salad with blue cheese and peppercorn dressing. the crowd are some tourists and mostly movers and shakers. hip but laid back, this is the place to grab a bite if you are in the area.
(4)Cappy H.
Great prices always busy and by far had the best sandwich I had in a long time. The service was great. I like how it is black and white on the inside. It is a very small and intimate place and perfect for the first date. It is located downtown. Parking may not be easy on a weekend but it's worth the walk. They take reservations and I suggest you make one because it is a hot spot.
(3)Mike P.
I have eaten here several times, and the food is usually fine. Not great, but fine. That is, until I tried the falafel. I love falafel, and I didn't think you could really screw it up that badly, but this falafel was terrible. It was fluffy and bready, with absolutely no crunch whatsoever. There was also supposed to be hummus on it, and while there were several sauces, none were identifiable as hummus. That said, the appetizers have always been pretty good, so if you're just getting some drinks and snacking, go for it. Just don't get the falafel!
(2)Zara H.
Spent the night in Omaha during a business trip. Went for a solo dinner at M's and it was crow-ded! I still managed to order a glass of wine and a nice meal. The meal itself was good, but not exceptional by any means. The steak was cooked to my direction but the actual quality of the meant left me hanging. The sides were also good, and I particularly liked their salad. The reason why M's is not getting five stars is ultimately because of the steak. I've had better steak and unfortunately, I had high expectations stepping into the pub. I do have to give them props for the ambiance, the decor, as well as the bar. Great atmosphere in there! Also, their staff is excellent. I'd go back for a snack or a glass of wine.
(4)Fernando A.
Mmmmmmm for Ms We waited for 1 hour for the food and it took 5 minutes to eat. And the food was ok...not the greatest nor worth the wait. Avoid peak times (we were here for lunch) and it might be a better place to have a good meal.
(3)Chris E.
Have been going here for over 35 years and I still love the place. Fair food but wonderful ambiance .... I know I'm in Omaha, in the Old Market, but, sometimes, I feel like I'm on the Continent ... someplace European and cozy. In this ever-changing world, it's nice to come back to M's Pub. Let's hope it stays the same for another 35 years. Cheers.
(4)Stacy L.
This is a "where the ladies lunch" type of place. Felt a little out of place, but the food was so good. I had buffalo chicken soup to start & then a California Club sandwich. No fries on the menu, the sandwich came with a small salad. The menu looked amazing & it was very difficult for me to narrow my choices. I will eat there again, once I hit every other restaurant Old Market first.
(3)Al L.
Had the chance to check this place out on trip. The steak sandwich was incredible. It was an open face and was very nicely done and the flavors were perfect.
(5)Janet E.
This place is one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. Lots of seating in this bar/restaurant! They have booth seating, table seating, and bar seating. The menu has a lot of variety and the food is served hot, delicious, and in big portions. The last time I visited, my coworker wasnt feeling well, so we basically sat down, had a few sips of our water, ordered our food, and then asked to have it packed to go. The waitress was very nice and understanding. Its located in the Old Market so you know it'll be busy during the usual feeding times.
(4)Alden C.
I really enjoyed my experience here when I went through the Old Market area. I especially liked their Bloody Mary! I am definitely going back if I stay a few days in Omaha.
(4)Elena G.
Is it really fair to review a steak in Omaha? I mean, N is THE place for steak and sure enough, one of the best steaks I've had in my life was here at M's (and I'm a girl who knows her steak). Our server was super friendly, even ordered a cab for us to time it with the end of our meal, as we requested. The interior is more modern than one (I) would expect from Omaha, a lot of exposed brick, painted white, candles...you really feel like you're in a big city. The salmon was served medium, which I personally don't like, for me it's either raw or fully cooked and it smelled fishy, soemthing fresh fish doesn't do. The baked cheese appatizer was also very good and creamy. Impressive wine selection too. A winner.
(4)K W.
I at here for lunch during a recent visit to Omaha and was so glad that I gave them a try. I was solo so I sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and my food came out fast. I had the buffalo chicken soup with blue cheese crumbles and it was excellent! The chicken was tender white meat and the taste was perfect, not too spicy but lot's of flavor. I tried the carrot dog, which was also very good. The bartender said that lot's of people are curious and ask about it, but don't end up ordering it. I would say ORDER IT! Where else can you get a carrot dog? They seemed to have several vegetarian friendly options. I had a wheat beer with my lunch and the total was around $15 with tip. A great lunch spot.
(5)Christine D.
This is my favorite place to eat when I am in Omaha ( I lived there for 10 years now live in Minneapolis). I always start with the Thai Lahvosh, the Pub Favorite or Cucumber Sandwich or Lamb Burger and end the meal with the Chocolate Marquis for dessert and a special vodka. Absolutely the best!
(5)Alison H.
Ordered the wild boar chops that were over cooked. I was excited not only for the chops but for the rice and sauce it came in. I was super underwhelmed and should have complained.
(2)Andrea T.
One of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. Great food. I love ordering the salmon pate (it's been a while since I was there, hopefully it's still on the menu), and their spinach or warm duck salads are good too. Nice ambiance. I love seeing M's at Christmas time when they have that huge reef, along with all the other pretty decorations. If you're going for dinner, I would recommend making a reservation, as it can get pretty busy and you might have a long wait if you don't.
(5)Jeff P.
Meh! Mediocre. Ok service. Dry and unflavorful ribeye. Very dry and bland wild boar chops. Good drinks. Great bar scene. Just get it together with the food.
(3)Annie G.
Oh oh oh Omaha. M's is one of my fave spots in O! town. The food -- while not totally and utterly fab -- is still really decent. And consistent - I've never been disappointed with the end result. But the real reason I love to go here is the ambiance. Great service, great space. I like the way I feel when I'm at M's But if you'd like to get specific, I'm going to have to give a shout out to the thai lavosh - it's one of their best menu items, I think. Delicious.
(4)Sarah B.
Oh M's! I miss you much more than I thought I would. I've moved far away but I think about you often. I spent many a night saddled up to your bar with my sexy girlfriend, sipping dirty martinis and talking to lovely older gentlemen who spent all night complimenting us. I think fondly of your amazing wine list and your stellar chicken pesto pasta! And the ambiance? Romantic downtown charm isn't done better by anyone but you, M's! So charming and sexy at the same time. A night in your dining room always held some possiblity. I will visit as soon as I can, M's. I miss you!
(5)Becki G.
I'm a KansasCitian and was visiting Omaha to see my very expectant sister and brother in law. They had eaten here before and thought it'd be a great place for us to have lunch. We got there at 10 till 11am on Sat. The little hostess (with a very snoody attitude) told us they weren't actually open until 11am but we could sit at the bar and wait. We were in good spirits so we left to walk around the farmers market instead. We returned, where the Snoody Snooderson seated us promptly at a table right in front of a window into an adjoining store. It so happened that the window was the stores Toms display. We got a kick out of this and enjoyed watching the people come by to brows the Toms selection. In fact now I'm really bummed because I wanted to go in there to have a look but I forgot! Anyway..... our server came by right away to drop off some water, and what a wonderful gal! Super sweet, friendly lady. She came back shortly to take our order after we hemmed and hawed the appropriate amount of time. My sis and I both ordered the Pub Favorite sandwich and my bro in law asked our server what she would choose out of three different meals. She choose the Chicken Salad croissant, which he then ordered. While we waited I checked out the place. Very clean, very low key decor. Dark wood accents & trim work and dark wood tables with stark white linens and black and white paint on the brick give the dining room and bar a tasteful gothic look. It was beautiful. I loved the male staff. They all look a bit rough and edgy but upon closer look, are super nice guys. They kinda made the place, I guess. I just love different edgy people who don't become drones when they go to work. They just looked like fun guys to work with and probably have tons of great stories from their life they'd be able to share. So then our food arrives. Our sandwiches are simple looking, a white blend of turkey, swiss and cream cheese on dark luscious pumpernickel bread. A bowl of mixed greens with poppyseed dressing came with our sandwiches. I liked this a lot. Everywhere you go, fries come with your meal. This came with a simple salad of fresh greens and you had the option to add a different kind of salad if you so desired. I don't even know if I saw fries as an option. Don't get me wrong, I love me some fries, but I so appreciated that M's feels like not every meal has to be accompanied by the fried potato sticks. My bro in laws sandwich looked delicious, but it was monstrous! He finished it though and said it was delicious. Our sandwiches were so much more than I expected. I thought it would be mostly cream cheesey with a slab or two of turkey that would make me feel full before I was finished. But the cream cheese to swiss ratio was so perfect, I'm convinced they had to have tested it a few times to get it just right. They used cubed turkey, and the thought might put you off at first, but it was delicious! It tasted fresh and with the cheeses and a little red onion on the pumpernickel, the sandwich was DIVINE! I was able to eat the whole thing and felt sated but not grossed out from cheese overkill. The salad was fresh, simple but delicious. My sister and I went to the restroom before we left and I'm glad we did. There is a great piece of artwork indicating the male and female restroom, that I'm not going to describe here, you'll just have to go down and visit the restroom to see and appreciate it. Love it! There were several more items I wanted to try so I do hope I get the chance to eat here again as well as experience it's night life scene. Aside from the little hostess who needs a slight attitude adjustment, it's a wonderful experience.
(4)Sara S.
A second visit. Tried dessert, the mocha fudge torte is out of this world. So dense, so chocolatey. I asked for no whipped cream, and it's came sitting in a puddle of strawberry amaretto sauce, which was just enough. The side salad served with the carrot dog seems to have improved greatly, and the carrot dog was great, as always. I also tried the soup, a tomato bisque, lovely. Service was just as good as last time, and I liked that we could smoke on the terrasse outside.
(4)Charles G.
One of Omaha's most overrated restaurants-- mediocre food, cramped seating, and THIS F***ING LOUD. Bartenders are great, though.
(2)Chad C.
No complaints. Just an all-around good place to go. Had a nicely cooked M's burger with a nice lager. Both solid, as was the ambiance and service, but not to the point of "Yay! I'm a fan" status.
(3)Isabelle L.
This bistro offered good service and excellent food. We went for an early lunch to avoid the crowd and that seems to be the only way to go without reservations. The Lamb burger was excellent and juicy. The duck salad was also quite flavorful and everything tasted fresh. For dessert I couldn't resist a chocolate Marquis and I certainly didn't regret my choice. This is a really good place, bistro style to grab really good food and enjoy a glass of wine or two.
(4)Bill W.
Okay; catching up on a couple prior check-ins - M's Pub being one of them worth commenting on. I'm not going to go into detail and provide specifics about every morsel of food and beverage put in front of me.....just know I go here whenever I am in Omaha. I purposely took a later flight to Mpls. just so I could spend a Happy Hour here...there you go!
(5)Jeannie H.
Favorite restaurant in Omaha! Tiramisu is to die for. Thai Lavosh. I get the same things every time because they're so good! The service is usually good, but I get the occasional sub-par ones. The food makes up for it. Leah is the best!
(5)The K.
Location, atmosphere, food and staff were all great. However, it took 35 minutes to get two salads and a cheese & cracker platter - not sure what went wrong there. We went in after the lunch-time rush and the place was pretty empty, so it's not like the staff was saturated with other orders and such. Other than the wait, we loved it and will return.
(4)Jennifer E.
Went here while traveling. Got in as the doors opened and the place QUICKLY filled up. Sort of up-scale - made me feel fancy. =] It was almost two years ago so forgive me for not remembering what I ate ( I kind of want to go with the falafel), but I do remember my salad was to die for. How can salad be that memorable?! I remember it was a pleasant experience and the waitress we had was simply wonderful. If I ever end up back 'round those parts, I'd probably go back.
(4)Garrick D.
Excellent all the way around, awesome staff, huge menu. Did not even try the famous Lavosh but cant wait to do so.

Ok, M's pub came as a recommendation from a native, so I had to check it out. Located in the Old Town, it's location is great. I went there for dinner with friends and found the seating to be a bit cramped with quite a bit of background noise, but hey, it's a Pub, so deal with it. Service was quite good I went with a house favorite, rib eye steak adorned with a salsa-goat cheese topping. I would say that the steak was average and the topping was way too strong. My friend had the pig lips. I tried a bite and they were just awesome. Went back a few weeks later and had a shaved pork sandwich for lunch and it was really good. I ate at the bar on the second occasion and the bar service is excellent. So if your party is small and there is wait at the normal tables - I recommend eating at the bar. Prices for dinners are pretty high, but the food quality and location make this competitive. Not exactly a place for a quiet romantic evening, but I would recommend it for casual dinner with friends. I may have caught them on an off night, but this was definitely not the best steak I've eaten, so explore the non-beef choices people!
(3)Melanie F.
I've only been here once (so far) but my experience was great. I had the tuna melt for lunch and four months later... I'm still craving a second helping of it. The place has a great modern-meets-cozy kind of feel to it. Eating there made me feel like I was at a dinner party at a friend's house - an older, slightly wealthier friend who makes sure you're having a good time and your needs are well-attended. Plus, M is a good letter!

So we are on this sales trip full of drunks, degenerates, and just plan wacky people. Five days, five different cities, 5 hotels and one bus. It's day three and there is a revolt for decent food other than the crap holes and slop that the hotels dishes out. We venture out in search of life in Omaha. There were twelve of us...all from different cities and states, pretty much the roadies to HELL and Satan is the driver. It was recommended that we go to M's Pub. Our group consist of every one from one side of the coast to the other. Use to eating at some of the snobbiest of places to the coolest hole in the walls. Although M's Pub is no were near a whole in the wall; located in old town Omaha...that was something I truly did not expect, my last experience to no where land usually centered around a side of cow and enough sides to feed a small family. We showed up with a group of 12 with nothing more than a couple hour warning to their staff. Although we had to wait for a bit for some jack@$$ to get off his fat @$$ and go straight to a hospital for that immediate emergency bypass. We were finally seated, the manager was great, always keeping us abreast with the status and providing some wonderful complimentary pizzas for the delay. The thin pizza crust pizzas were just yummy...but unfortunately, our resident New Yorker couldn't get over the fact that he could do the fold. One of my pleasant surprise, the escargot; not overly seasoned and serve covered with provolone cheese. The cheese mild that taste and it was just butter. I ordered the lamb chops, which came highly recommended; and I was not disappointed. The lamb was just perfectly prepared, not overly season, fresh, accompanied by fresh veggies, and an incredible potato. The wine pairing was just perfect. This is a great find for my next return to Omaha, hopefully not for a very long time, but at least I know that I can take some comfort with M's Pub.

I had a patient that used to like to take me here for lunch, but he died, so I don't get down to M's as much as I used to. Don't worry, the food at M's did not kill him. Old age. If the food kills someone you know, does that automatically knock a star off of your previous rating. I think we should discuss this. The food here is good, but a little pricey. The good people who set the prices for the food here must have never eaten anywhere else or are deluded about how good it actually is, because the taste to Hamiltons ratio is askew.

My Favorite restaurant in Omaha! I travel a lot for business and find myself in Omaha at least once a year. Being a vegetarian I didn't expect a lot of unique options in Omaha, however I was pleasantly surprised with M's. I love their black bean cakes and lahvosh. The last time I was there I wanted to try something different so I tried the carrot dog. Definitely something out of the ordinary.... Once again pleasantly surprised. It was very good! Every time I have been there they have had at least 1 vegetarian soup too. Not something that happens often at most restaurants. My husband is not a vegetarian and he keeps going back for the lamb burgers. Once again not something you see everywhere.

My husband and I were visiting from California and came to M's for dinner with family. Good crab cakes. Lavosh was decent. My husband ordered the prime rib which came with BBQ sauce? I'm not sure what that was about - but we're in Omaha! So maybe that's was a local thing. I ordered the halibut just to change up the pace - overcooked but edible. I ordered a shirley temple (I was pregnant at the time) - way too sweet, without enough bubbly! Bleh. I had to order a Peligrino to lighten it up. However, M's had a nice modern interior decor and was close to our hotel (which is always a plus!)

Trying to balance the food and atmosphere vs the service. Everything started off well and our waiter/barman was great. Food was very nice. Then another server threw something in a nearby trash can and shards of glass flew into my wife's lunch and drinks. Our waiter took her food and replaced her drink after quickly apologizing; she had about a third of her lunch remaining - no offer to replace her lunch or get her something else. We expected to hear something from the manager but 20 minutes later the waiter delivered our bill which included the charge for her lunch. When I asked if he was going to comp is for her lunch, his response was ..."there wasn't that much left.". Things escalated from there...the manager did come over to speak with us after the waiter told him about the situation. We were completely surprised by his condescending tone. He took care of our check but it was a less than acceptable experience from an established, popular restaurant.

There's no question why M's is such a solid Omaha joint. It's a very classy, American bistro joint and they do it well. Lamb burgers during lunch are great!
(5)Wendy P.
Great large menu with a variety of choices. Had the cucumber sandwich on this trip and it brought me back to childhood. Will return here on my next trip.
(4)Caroline H.
My favorite place in Omaha - great food, large menu, hip venue (you could go after a night on the town or roll over there for a business lunch), always a great crowd. I will never tire of M's and HIGHLY recommend it to out-of-towners; it's an institution!
(5)Jamie H.
We went to M's because of you faithful yelpers! We enjoyed our experience, especially the ambiance. We went during lunch time and sat outside and got to people-watch, enjoy the nice weather, the beautiful decor, and the occasional flies=) Oh yeah. If you want an "inception-ey" experience, go to the bathrooms downstairs and pause to revel in infinite images of yourself. [they have a hall of full length mirrors that face eachother]. My hubby and I didn't know if it was "cool" OR "a little freaky". The hostess was friendly and not the bit annoyed to clear off our table outside. [you know how some hostesses act all entitled when they have to do things outside of their "job description". oy.] Our server was super friendly, and helped us to decide what to get according to her expertise=). We ended up getting the "love potion #9" cocktail, which is strawberry infused vodka and lemonade--, the vegetarian lahvosh, and the duck salad. The "love potion" was particularly tasty, probably because I'm a girly-girl and I like more fruity, less alcohol. Hubby thought it was "ok", but wasted calories=). The lahvosh was really tasty--as our server insisted, and I enjoyed the various veggies they topped it with...although, if I topped it myself, I would have used less olives. The duck salad, was not so great. The duck itself, was the highlight--but it was sort of dry. The dressing seemed to be a mixture of drippings from the duck and probably some sort vingariness? I wasn't super excited about it. All in all, the salad probably made the experience less pleasurable. If the food was better, I'd probably rave about this place--and, since I gave MARK's bistro a 4, I don't think I could say it was on the same level. Afterwards, hubby and I walked around for our first "old market" experience! I enjoyed observing all the happenings, hearing musicians entertaining from the streets, and strolling around.
(3)Jaime K.
Great food. I had the salmon special. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely go again.
(5)Jill P.
I visited Omaha the first time last week on business, we stopped here from lunch just off the plane, I got the lamb salad - it was wonderful!! I usually don't order lamb but I could tell from the menu it would be flavorful and it was! The fruit tea was good also. Thank you for treating me to excellent food while away from Chicago!!
(5)Ed C.
My friend & I had lunch today at this fine restaurant in the Old Market. For an hors d'ouevre, we shared the Baked Brie en Croute, which was Brie cheese, walnuts & jalapeno jelly stuffed inside puff pastry, baked, and served w/sliced apples. So scrumptious! I had the shrimp and vegetable risotto & my friend had the Pub Favorite club sandwich (turkey,swiss & cream cheese, red onion, & mayo on grilled pumpernickel). Both were delicious! Tiramisu for dessert which was garnished with chocolate covered espresso beans. Excellent flavor & a definite "pick up." Our server was very attentive. A very enjoyable experience & we'll be returning there soon.
(5)Nicholas F.
Great atmosphere! I wanted to take pictures of the entire place. It's nicely decorated and has an environment that is all at once sophisticated, comfortable, and hip. The food was delicious. I had the short ribs. They were fantastic. I recommend this restaurant enthusiastically.
(5)Sara P.
I travel a lot to Omaha for work, and have now made M's a permanent in the list of restaurants to hit while on my travels. I've yet to have anything that disappoints. The food is always fresh, and somewhat healthy. I recently had the blackened shrimp salad with the black bean cake. I don't know what it is, but it's super yum. I've also had the mediterranean chicken salad and the cobb. Friends have had their lavash and said they're amazing, as well as the falafel sandwich. Falafel that's not fried? Sign me up.
(4)Michael L.
I had a steak sandwich and a Fat Tire at the bar. Both were excellent. Even at 10 pm on a Tuesday, the place was full. Definitely go here if you are in Omaha.
(4)Jenn S.
I wanted to love this place but it was just ok. I think I was so over excited for my steak but I was sorta let down. Don't get me wrong it was a hell of a steak but I've had better. The mashed potatoes that came with the steak were ok just a little bland. I was watching other people get their food and I saw some good stuff come out so I'm thinking I just chose the wrong thing. But really how could I not get a steak in Omaha. I did love the drinks, I got a strawberry ginger martini and it was amazing. It went down wayyyy too easy. The place itself is very cute and lively.
(3)Abby H.
On top of having a ridiculously good looking staff, M's Pub has one of the top wine selections in Omaha. I have always enjoyed their corkage with some of their famous tiramisu The Baked Brie en Crote is absolutely fabulous, as well as the escargot. I typically order a lahvosh. They are wonderful. They have great lunch specials, usually with some kind of salad or soup for those who are veggin'. I would recommend this place for lunch or dinner - especially in the summer since it is right downtown and you can hear the music or watch the crowds.
(5)Kim J.
I don't know, we really enjoy M's. It is hard to get in here because it is a really busy place. Make a reservation!! We really like the lavosh and the excargot. Those dishes are both awesome. They have a nice wine list and alot of variety on their menu. I find the staff to be GREAT--I think we have always had good service!
(5)Rosalina R.
I just moved to Omaha a few months ago, this was the first place that I have eaten at that I had no complaints over...I really liked my food, the service was great, although our seat was kinda crappy but we didnt have a reservation and just walked in at 6:30 on a Sat. night. I tried the famous lavosh-it was good, but my husbands dish was very good-a good asian inspired dish , so was his soup-some sort of spicy asian cabbage soup! I will definately return here, but with a reservation...
(4)Pukar R.
A classy little restaurant with nice dining and good drinks. Their long island iced tea is quite good! This place is a bit small and on weekends, it's usually packed and very cramped. But I guess the limited space just adds to the character of this restaurant. Great for first dates, or any date, and with it being in the heart of the Old Market, everything else after dinner is just a hop away.
(3)Laura E.
Took my out of town family here for some local flavor. We had a spinach salad, cream of mushroom soup, chicken curry soup, florentine lavosh and thai lavosh. They were all tasty but the thai lavosh was the standout for sure. We also had bloody marys if you love bloody marys try it , very tasty! We also tried the elderflower champagne cocktail which was good but not exceptional. Serivce was good but took forever to seat us even though tables were open 3 people greeted us without seating us. I deducted a star for this but I tend to rate only the food because that's what dining is all about.
(4)Nicholas H.
My favorite restaurant in Omaha!
(5)Yo U.
I came here at the suggestion of a concierge, and he recommended a winner. M's Pub is a great little place. It is worth checking out, particularly if you want something other than fast food late at night and you find yourself near the Old Market area.
(4)Deb K.
The menu is so diverse and the food is as fresh as can be. Such great stuff, you want to go right home and see if you can duplicate it...but you come up a little short. Excellent ambiance, energetic, fun vibe. When there's live music, it's heavenly in this place. Staff and wait team are attentive and very helpful. Great date place or with friends. There is just something very cool and nostalgic about this place, but in a hip way.
(5)Holly B.
My rare steak was more medium-rare, but still good. My husband's lavosh pizza (spinach) was fabulous. If you like thin crust, you will really enjoy the way they do it here. Inspired. Oh, and I really like the local Belgian wheat beer. Great service. Kind of noisy inside, maybe it is the high ceilings. Loved eating outside and people watching.
(4)Emily C.
Great food, great location, great service! Go check this place out! :)
(4)Tao Tao W.
We went there this weekend when a group of us went to Omaha on a MBA trip. There was about 21 of us or so. I ordered the Falafel platter while everyone else got either the new york strip or stuffed burger or pasta. The falafel platter was eh. I had better and it would have been really nice if there was hummus with it instead of just yogurt sauce. The side salad that came with it had a really good poppy seed dressing though. We did order the flat bread pizza which is called lahvosh i believe. We got the veggie one and that was really good. Everyone else said the new york strip was average but then again this place is a pub and you don't exactly expect a good steak from here. For dessert, i got the tirimusu which didn't come like it normally does in a square. instead it was all mashed up and looked like white chocolate moose instead with no lady fingers really. it was a big portion but a little too sweet for my taste. I prefer the old fashion style as i love tirmisu.
(3)Tyler F.
The most orgasmic tuna melt you've EVER HAD!! I had it 4 times in one week I was so obsessed with it and got the recipe for it! -It's a MUST at M's Pub!!
(5)Sara H.
This is one of my most favorite places to eat in the Big O. When I am there to visit my family this is a MUST have for me. I crave their escargot with my very soul. It is such yummy, buttery, herby, snaily goodness! I usually just get that and lavosh and leave so wonderfully full of pure decadent food. I think the M must be for MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
(5)Busted A.
Excellent food, fast & friendly service and a great atmosphere. This is one of our favorite places to go when we visit Omaha and go to the Old Market. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Natalie S.
I love M'sPub! It's a great Omaha-locale place, and I literally crave the Thai Lavash!
(3)Johanna R.
When someone had suggested this place to take my mother for her birthday, I was a little put off by the name. Take my mother to the land of big TVs? This was definitely not what I expected. First the place is just classy and inviting. Sitting at the bar, you can get just about anything. The food is definitely the deal maker. My favorites are the Shrimp Scampi and any of the lavosh dishes. It's just some place casual to take someone or to treat yourself!!
(4)Scott B.
Woohoo! As good as it gets! One of my favorite places to eat in Omaha.
(5)k o.
My all time favorite restaurant in Omaha. The food is consistently fantastic. When traveling to Omaha, I make it a point to dine at M's.
(5)Bryan N.
I'm a fan of M's pub. As one of the main establishments of The Old Market, there are a lot of people here giving M's a good energy on most days of the week. There is a great bar here with enjoyable tenders and a very helpful waitstaff. The price for lunch was much better than expected for such a well known eatery. Give M's a chance and I doubt that you will be unhappy.
(4)Tom L.
Very good choice in Omaha. I wandered in by myself on a business trip and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Great people watching as the bar is lively and hip, yet the restaurant is casual and friendly. I tried the Vegetarian Lahvosh and it was delicious.
(4)Julia J.
every time i visit omaha, M's is a must. thai lahvosh = delish chicken pasta = divine crab cakes = delectable service = smart, stylish, makes o-town look good price = not bad for the quality of food and unique menu items
(4)Shiho F.
Excellent food and fun hip atmosphere. I tried the Whiskey Steak with Mashed Potatoes. Nicole said she tried the Carrot Dog out of curiosity (2 years pent up) and said, "Don't do it." Strawberry infused vodka was refreshing with soda but make sure to ask for a double or there isn't much flavor. Also with 2 shots the pink hue becomes brighter and much more appeasing to the eye. This is the first restaurant that I've dined in in Omaha and I must say I was surprisingly impressed. Great looking crowd and decent wait staff at this bustling restaurant. However, the hostesses could learn some new manners and the bartender rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe because I was the only other ethnic chic in the restaurant and I stole her thunder.
(4)Alicia M.
I have lived in Old Market for almost 3 years, and have tried to eat here 7 TIMES!!! We actually sat down 2 of the 7 times, and ended up walking out. (One of which we had a reservation for). The hostesses are surly and less than willing to help. They could honestly care less about whether they get your business or not, because of their "reputation" and location. We were told the same thing that many people were told about gettign a table - that we would be kicked out of our seats because someone had a reservation after us... ? Excuse me?? The ethics fo this place are all wrong. 2 of the times we left, we went around the corner to Vivace... which is owned by the same people. They have MUCH better service, but after getting the less than impressive pesto, and a lasagna that had about 9 WHOLE stalks of thyme stuffed in it (more than you should use in the whole dish) my husband and I have decided that we no longer wish to support these owners. Omaha should demand better.
(1)jane f.
Great place to - go in the Old Market. It does get quite busy, but it is fun to grab a set at the bar and dine there. The menu runs the gammot from salads & sandwiches to the specials that they run every two weeks. You can end up spending between $15 - $70/person depending on what you order. The waitstaff is friendly and the wine list is great.
(4)julia r.
air conditioning at it's best. delicious cobb salad. nice bartender. soothing atmosphere. outside patio for when it's not so muggy. i like omaha.
(4)M R.
One of Omaha's classic establishments. Space is a bit cramped. Weather permitting, recommend patio seating and enjoying the diversity of people you can watch walk by. Crab cakes are a tasty, light lunch.
(3)David K.
This place is upscale, with Mediterranean favorites, famous for Lahvosh. It's a good place for a full meal, or to have an evening of wine and a cheese sampler.
(4)Sheng S.
This place is ok. Good food. I think it's overrated. We had reservations, but the host screwed it up. Decent food, nice atmosphere, but doesn't have the upscale look. Almost dingy and old in a way.
(3)Tayler T.
Been to M's a few times and it's always consistent. I love their turkey avocado sandwich served on a croissant! Their cocktails aren't that great. In fact their Bloody Mary was not good at all, but the food is always good!! 4 stars for having good food all the time
(4)Simon D.
I like the sandwiches a lot. Cocktails are just ok. Had old fashioneds made by a few bartenders and they were both pretty bad. They have a smoked pork sandwich which makes up for the drinks. I had a soup there once and the pees weren't cooked. I want to give it 4 but just can't.
(3)Gomer K.
Bleh. Recommended to us by the dudes at Brickway. Food was meh, service was meh, the drinks were meh. I had a hot toddy which tasted like it was only hot water and bourbon with a cinnamon stick thrown in it. Not good. We started with the crab cakes. They weren't crab, they tasted like fish, like salmon almost. Coming from MD it wasn't a crab cake. They weren't bad though. I had the pub favorite sandwich. Gross. It came out ice cold and I had to send it back. It came back hot but the turkey in it was the weird cubed processed crap. Why do people grind up birds breasts and form them into shapes? They're delicious the way they come. My boyfriend had a burger, he liked it. All in all we left pretty disappointed.
(3)Jenny N.
Really fun place to eat and drink in Omaha. I wouldn't call it a "pub," because they serve food that is too expensive to be called a pub. My boyfriend and I ordered a french dip sliders appetizer (only 2 sliders), 2 salads and a couple drinks, and the bill came out to over $60. Ouch! But, the food was very good, our dried fruit sangrias were refreshing and tasty, and the ambiance was great. The place was packed when everywhere else that Sunday night was dead. It's a small, hole-in-the wall place that has that darkly intimate feel of a pub, but it was still trendy. There were couples, families and old friends having a great time all around us at the end of Christmas weekend. The lighted Christmas garlands added to the atmosphere. My only complaint was that our bread came with cold butter. A place like this should know better-- small details matter. I would definitely come here again.
(4)Aren R.
I eat at M's Pub every month or so, and it never fails to hit the spot. M's has become the place I take friends from out of town for a reasonably priced taste of Omaha. The lavosh is always an intriguing option, especially the Omaha lavosh (I really love reubens). Really you can't go wrong with any of the options. As far as sandwiches, I think M's has the best reuben in Omaha (so the best reuben in the world). A friend from out of town got the turkey melt and loved it. Really, if you haven't been to M's and you live in Omaha you are missing out. It's just something all Omahans need to have done.
(4)Krista L.
I met some family from out of town in the Old Market a couple weekends ago and the one spot they wanted to try was M's Pub. I hadn't been to M's Pub in a long time, but I was reminded what I was missing! The food, service, and atmosphere were perfect. We wanted to share a bottle of wine, but were somewhat lost with the large wine list. Our server Emily was very helpful and knowledgeable, she helped us pick a great wine. I just wish I would have remembered the name of it! My family members all had sandwiches and I tried the lamb burger. I will be making my way back to have the lamb burger again! My family was very happy with the experience and our server had everything timed out perfect. Thanks M's Pub!
(5)Ryan S.
Ate hear based on reviews. Neat atmosphere and reasonable prices. The highlight for me oddly enough was they had the best balsamic vinaigrette dressing I have had in a while.
(4)Bill S.
I ate at M's Pub yesterday for the first time after moving to Omaha almost two years ago. I made a reservation for my party of 6 at 430, i figured it was early for a reservation but better safe than sorry. The first detracting factor was that when I made a reservation they said they would need the table back at 6, and that we would have an hour and a half. While this is plenty of time to eat, I find it not very hospitable to tell patrons they have a time limit on a table. The opinions on the food where consistent for everyone in my party. No one thought the food was bad but it was just average. There wasn't any thing that was exceptional and I would need to go back for. I have the Omaha Grill sand which with the spinach side salad. If Jimmy Johns made hot sandwiches i think it would have been better than this one. Like i said it wasn't bad but it was great. My wife's friend had the Reuben and she agreed it wasn't bad it just wasn't great, with a bit of work a better one could be made at home. My wife had the chicken Cesar salad, she liked it and ate it all but for $11.50 it seemed over priced for the portion. If you are in the old market and want decent food this wouldn't be a bad choice, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.
(3)Sarah K.
Drink 2 glasses of wine. Go to the bathroom. That will be enjoyable enough...mirrored hallway is something. Okay, all kidding aside. We had a light early dinner, salad and lavosh with some dessert. Did not disappoint. Pros: menu selection, great ambiance in the restaurant and location is a plus. Made a poor decision on the dessert getting the fudge torte...should've known the chocolate was just too much. Can't give 5-stars because didn't try enough selection of menu (especially the pricier dishes to really rate at 5 stars).
(4)P R.
Excellent all the way around - we had a omaha grill sandwich and a Lahvosh. Both were very good. And just the right size for lunch. Good local beer as well. Service and atmosphere were great.
(5)Bob A.
Had lunch with a client and M's pub delivered again. Client had the lamb burger... excellent choice.... and I had the lunch special. Not sure what is was called but it was a sandwich stacked high with ham on fresh baked bread with some kind of white (cream?) gravy over it. Man was it good. Think of a sandwich variety of biscuits and gravy. Not the lightest lunch in the world but darn tasty!
(4)Chad K.
I ordered the M's Burger (all natural ground beef, bacon, gruyere cheese, tomato, lettuce, red onion, and an onion kaiser bun). I ordered it cooked medium, but they cooked it well done. It was still a tasty burger despite them overcooking it. It came with a greens salad as a side. I thought the standard poppyseed dressing was a little too sweet, but it comes on the side so you can control how much goes on your greens. Services was friendly and attentive. Restaurant was pretty full, but not excessively noisy. Typical urban Old Market look and feel on the inside. Prices are on par with most trendy gastropubs in urban locales like this
(4)Matthew D.
M's Pub was the first place I ate in Old Market when I moved here a year ago. I don't recall what I had for an entree that time, but I do know we had the baked shrimp dish for an appetizer. I'm not even a big shrimpy fan, but these are hard to beat. It's shrimp soaked in butter and covered with havarti cheese. Delicious. So far where they've come up short for me is the entree. I don't remember what I got last year, but I wasn't impressed with it, so I hadn't been back until now. Several people told my wife it's their favorite restaurant in Omaha, so we decided to go again and take my parents while they were visiting. Once again, the shrimp was great. We also got the mushrooms that are prepared in the same way, and they are delicious as well. But the entrees came up short again. This time I tried the buffalo chicken lahvosh. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. It was just ok. My parents felt the same way about their meals. My wife and my dad both got the NY Strip. I tried a bite; the flavor was pretty good, but it was one of the chewiest steaks I've ever had. Definitely not worth the $23 price. The service was a little underwhelming also. Drinks went empty for extended periods of times and overall the server was not friendly. To sum it up, I didn't dislike M's Pub, but I didn't really like it either... it's just a middle of the road restaurant. Their prices are mostly reasonable, but I'd rather pay more and have better food/service, given the choice.
(3)George F.
I have been going to M's for decades. It is always good and often great. Today for lunch I had something I have never tried off their menu. I ordered the Lamb Burger. My brother often gets it so I took a shot. It was fantastic! I loved it. One of the best burgers I have had......ever. I'm not the biggest lamb fan so it really surprised me how much I loved it. The soup,is always good. I love the Greek sandwich and the Cobb salad is also something they do really well. Super cool atmosphere. I believe that Cedric Hartman designed the space. It figures because it is wonderful as well.
(5)Sue H.
Came for lunch on New Year's Eve day. We made a reservation and glad we did- would have been an hour wait without it. Sarah was a friendly server who managed our group of 5 very well. She kept our water full, even though we had a carafe at the table. I tried the Thai Lavash and am glad I did. The sauce was slightly sweet with a good amount of toppings but not too many. The cracker was nicely baked. Two could have this plus an appetizer for a light lunch or one can get full on it (keep in mind, I don't eat super-sized for lunch so your appetite may be different). Hubs had the Rueben sandwich and enjoyed it. The SIL had the Pork Satay- her go-to dish when she comes. I had a taste & enjoyed it along with the accompanying sauces. Dad had the special of the day- Salmon sandwich- and enjoyed it. A few of us had the soups of the day - winter squash & potato. They were flavorful. The menu has a fair number of vegetarian options. I'm recommending it to my vegetarian niece and other friends who live in the area (I was here visiting from Philly)
(5)Joseph F.
Wonderful for a late night meal or drink. Lovely, chill atmosphere. Server was super friendly and well-versed on the menu. Service was quick and food was delicious. And they have an early and late night happy hour with great specials. Come to M's!
(5)Shin M.
The interior was a little nicer than the average pub. Our server was really friendly. I got the lamb burger based on re recommendation of our server. It was really dry and didn't have much flavor.... Didn't even try to finish it even though I wasn't full. The dressing on the salad was too sweet too. My dad got the prime rib. It was pretty good but there was a lot of fat on it. I don't think id come back...
(2)Meron G.
Delicious Lavosh and friendly bartenders. They were extremely but took very good care of us.
(5)Samantha S.
I walked by this place and something about it brought me in. I ordered an artichoke and sea scallops both appetizer portions. I was thrilled with my cocktail. The ambience was...mature? Let's just say I felt odd as a 27 year old girl but everything tasted great. I docked a star for pricing.
(4)Michael W.
Thai Lavosh! Gettin turnt up on this food and atmosphere is way too easy to do. Staff, environment and food quality blows the top off most all other staples in the Old Market. Not to mention the price point is super accommodating. Whether you're trying to pull off a match.com one and done, taking your in-laws out behind the woodshed, or looking for a lunch time bloody mary and quick sandwich turn to M's and you won't be let down.
(5)Kara G.
Baked shrimp and escargot is a must try. Thai lavosh is a favorite. Desserts are great! Patio seating is beautiful, especially during happy hour!
(5)Amiee H.
Always my go-to spot. Tremendous service, huge menu with diversity. Lovely Wines. Always good.
(5)David S.
Very nice restaurant. The dishes were very well done and the drinks were OK. I really liked their pizza, but their hamburger was nothing special. I will probably not return if I go back to Omaha again.
(4)Michael H.
This may be my favorite restaurant in the US. As a sales rep that has been in every major city and has dined at some great places at all stops, it amazing how great of a place M's is, and I can't find anything close (I've been trying for years). Good food, amazing wine list, always great service (especially at the bar) cozy room with an amazing view of the busy Old Market outside. Last, the prices here are ridiculously cheap. If M's were in New York or LA, you'd pay two to three times their menu prices. Don't change.
(5)Ed T.
My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for some time now. We just happen to be downtown and stopped in. Lucky to score a nice seat on the patio too. Dinner was good, drinks were good, and the service was excellent. Thanks for a nice experience, We will be back.
(4)Andrew C.
Terrific bartender. Known for their martinis, I ordered a ginger martini. He quickly made a tasty drink. Order the turkey burger if you're in a casual mood. Very good with a small side salad. Cool, popular place in Old Market.
(4)Daniel L.
The only highlight of my shoddy business trip here in Omaha. Came here first thing once I landed. Located right in the Old Market, I got a seat, hungry and wanted something to keep me awake and energized for the day. Unfortunately, they don't have a lunch special menu. Gotta work on one, you guys! Secondly, they advertise they have wifi. They do...but it doesn't work. Had to steal the neighboring networks nearby to get some work done while eating. Wonderful decor and it was nice to eat while mesmerizing the decor. The place was completely empty when I came at 11am, but come by noon, place is packed. I got their most popular dish, the Thai Lavosh. Basically, for those unfamiliar with what Lavosh is like a Turkish pizza made on a huge saltine cracker. Very light. The Thai Lavosh was very very good. Kept it light for me, so I didn't feel like I ate a whole lot despite killing the meal. First time I didn't leave leftovers. The added honey as the base of the sauce made the meal sweet and special. The crunchiness of the peanuts was a good complement to the ever growing soggy saltine crackerish lavosh. They had a few beer on tap. Many of them local so I never heard any of them. Took a risk with a wheat ale (can't really be a risk if it's a wheat ale--belgian; gotta be sweet). Bread and butter with the meal. It's a bit pricey, especially since they don't have a lunch menu. And if they do, they sure as hell didn't give it to me. But I'll come here again, if God forbid, I come back to Nebraska.

Great restaurant in very cool area of Omaha- Old Market. Went in on the recommendation from a cool Men's boutique around the corner. Glad I did! My server, Eric, was great. Attentive, professional, and very polite. Ordered a glass of Red and the M's Burger for dinner and they were both fantastic. Very reasonably priced as well, as I was unsure for such a cool restaurant in a "happening area" of Omaha. Highly recommend. Did not try the desert menu, though it sounded great. Burger and Wine were perfect. Eric was great. Highly recommend!

They have a lot of sandwiches on their menu tried the cheese steak and pastrami both were just OK. Our clam chowder was missing clams and very milky.

Great place! Decor is adorable. Found this little gem in the heart of the Old Market District in Omaha. Food is great, ranging from cheaper to more expensive meals. I had the lamb salad which was perfect along with a delicious heirloom tomato tart. Only thing is that it gets a little noisy in the evening.

I've never had a dish there that wasn't very good or excellent. Their lamb burger is one of the best burgers you'll ever have, and I've had it maybe two dozen times.

The building was very open and vintage looking. Everything was very clean. The service was good. The reason for a 3 star is that the meat was tough. Both the tenderloin and the ribeye were a challenge to chew. This is expected from a cheap chain but not for a $39. ribeye. I asked the waitress what quality of beef they served. She didn't know but went to the kitchen to find out. Nobody in the kitchen knew because the main cook had already left for the evening.

M's Pub has been highly recommended to us to try and when we were first in Omaha we tried it out. The food was pretty decent but the service was definetely lacking. We waited way too long to get drinks and for the waiter to come back to see if we needed anything else after we received our food, which we did. Maybe the service will be better if there is a next time. With all of the competition in Omaha in similar products, doubt we will try it again any time soon.

If you like lousy service then this is the place for you. Probably the worst service I have ever received. We tried to go for dinner and were turned away by the rather snobby and condescending host. How are visitors to the city supposed to know you need a reservation? But we'd heard great things so we went back for lunch two days later. Again, we were "greeted" by the snooty hostess and waved to the bar because we did not have a reservation. The bar man was friendly and looked after us very well. The drinks and the food showed up and all was going very well. Or so we thought. I noticed one of the waiters throw something and then felt a few drops hit my head and hand. At first I had no idea what it was but when I looked at my plate I saw small shards of glass and also on the bar a few more. Seriously??? The waiter had thrown a bottle in the recycle, it had shattered and spit up onto me. I told the barman, he was not too flustered, took my half eaten plate and gave me a new glass of wine. The waiter came to apologize and we waited for the manager to show up. And waited...and waited...and waited. Finally the barman gave us the bill, we were charged for my meal and when my husband pointed out I could not finish it, he retorted with, "Jeez, there was hardly anything left". When I heard this, I saw red and completely lost it. My behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable and I cursed out the barman, wondering when the damned manager was going to come. Apparently, the barman had decided not to bother telling him. After me screaming and cursing, he went to get the manager who came over and was outrageously condescending and rude. Needless to say, I was bothered all day by my own behavior and how rude people can be. This experience really solidified for me the fact that good food is not enough; good and great service can make an okay meal much better and lousy rude service can turn even the best food into spam!

Absolutely love their Thai Chicken Lavosh. Always a great place to go.

I've never been a big fan though some people love this place. The food's fine, but I generally avoid M's if I can for two reasons. First, it seems as if all conversation stops whenever someone comes in. I always feel like I need to be accompanied by a butler and a stack of resumes. Second, the portions are small. No, I'm not a typical Omahan who expects to have salads served in punchbowls with gallons of ranch or a steak the size of my head. But I always end up leaving this place hungry. Your mileage may vary.

We ate at M's based on strong Yelp reviews and were not disappointed. Delicious, creative food and fantastic, friendly service. Not cheap, but also not ridiculous.

Visiting Omaha after moving away 33 years ago. Used to love M's when the original M held court there! Happy to say it is still wonderful. Beautiful timeless chic decor that makes you feel special, first rate food and great service. An Omaha institution that has stood the test of time while incorporating today's food tastes. Will always return to M's!
