Omaha Lunch Restaurants

It’s the middle of the day. You have a limited amount of time before you need to get back to work or weekend activities, but you want to sit down and enjoy a good meal. These are the places you should look into!

All restaurants are rated on a 4-star scale. This is not a complete list—if your favorite restaurant isn’t listed here, I’m working on it. As much as I’ve eaten out in Omaha, I haven’t been everywhere (yet) and will constantly be updating and adding to these lists. If a restaurant isn’t listed, it’s probably on my seemingly never-ending list of awesome Omaha joints I want to try. I ask for your patience. In the meantime, enjoy one man’s opinion of the best restaurants for lunch in Omaha.
