Jams American Grill Jams - Omaha

Stopped in as we drove through Omaha. Had Sunday brunch and everything was outstanding! Braised short rib omelet, peanut butter French toast, chicken and waffles. Everything was prepared perfectly, huge portions and fair prices. Will definitely return next time we’re in Omaha!

Very good experience here. Nice atmosphere, place was comfortable from all aspects. Waiter was helpful in ideas to choose from, but not pushy about anything. Located in Omaha’s downtown Old Market just a block North of Howard Street. I ordered the Habanero Lobster Bisque to start. It was excellent. Had a bite to it, but for people who like a bite, it’s not that bad for heat. If you don’t care for spicy at all, this may have a bit more of a kick than you like. Over all, to me, I thought it was excellent, and would not hesitate to have it again if it were made for that day. For the main meal, I got the Midtown Meatloaf. The meatloaf was a bit different than I’m used to. I will say, the waiter did an excellent job at letting me know how their meatloaf was compared to what most in these parts are used to. Around here, you’ll typically find it’s cooked with ketchup on it, and generally some sort of brown sugar glaze, and then you can add more ketchup after it’s sliced on your plate. This meal is nothing like that, and I was fairly warned. However I still wanted to try it. There’s no ketchup, or glaze at all. It’s more like what I would consider a hamburger steak. Then they put a light brown gravy on it. So, it was a good meal, but not like what I’m used to. I would most likely opt to move to other menu choices next time, as opposed to making it a “go-to” meal. It was good, but not near legendary in my book. However, this is more of a matter of my pallet choice, and with all else I mentioned above, this was a 5 star visit, and well worth another stop.

Such a gem of Omaha! Each dish on their menu is unique and you won't find it anywhere else. I was brought here by a local who is a regular patron who has loved everything they have tried. They make everything in house from scratch including their sausage. Their biscuits and gravy was delicious and the jalapeno jam was the perfect sweet touch to this savory dish. The potatoes were perfectly fried and I liked the flaked salt sprinkled on top. Very friendly staff and clean establishment. I'll be back next time in in Omaha!

We got the fried ravioli as an appetizer and the spicy margarita. Both were to die for. Then, I got the coconut shrimp salad as my entree. Also, tasted so good. My dad got the Jam’s Mac n cheese. Also incredible. We were actually en route to South Dakota but the food was the best food we had on our trip. 10/10 recommendation.

Father’s Day brunch was pretty good here, but VERY slow. We sat down at 10:30 AM, ordered just two simple brunch entrees, didn’t get food until 11:15 which was not ideal considering we had a toddler and baby with us. It took over 30 minutes to get our food from the time we ordered and there were quite a few open tables around us. We got the biscuits gravy which was good, just needed more gravy, and maple bacon French toast that had a delicious peanut butter banana flavor. Our server was really friendly and genuinely seemed to like her job. We appreciated her attentiveness, especially to our situation with two kiddos. It is a pricey brunch spot, you pay for the upscale dining experience. Only took away a star for the slow food.
