Jams Old Market

Momma & Papa Behr (Papa)

We looked at the Jams' & Power burritos for brunch (more like lunch) but asked our server, Randal, about the Chief's burrito which varies. After the explanation, I chose the Chef's burrito brunch with potatoes and a Field Salad with balsamic and vinaigrette dressing. It appears the nuts (walnuts & pecans) we're roasted which added great flavors to more than compensate for stale croutons (try a few before your server dashes off). The burrito was FANTASTIC, in spite of the oversized onions. The sweet BBQ pulled pork and zesty sauce complimented wonderfully. A truly great start to the weekend - thanks, Randal, 4.5 overall!!

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.

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.

Three visits in 1 review! Visit 1: Saturday Brunch Service ok. Ask for a bottle of water for table or you will wait for your extra small glass to be refilled. Asking for jam/jelly for English muffin while ordering will save time as the person helping us never returned. Food excellent. Presentation sloppy for brisket omelet. Visit 2: Monday dinner Busy, but with reservations quickly sat at table. Live music way too loud, but excellent for a change of environment. Service - poor. Dinner salad brought 2 mins before meal. Received a $0.50 dressing charge. No water refills despite requesting. Neither of our food choices were to our liking, but I think it’s all personal preference. Visit #3: Sunday Brunch Service excellent. Food excellent. I’d highly recommend Jams. I think with everything, it is hit or miss with service and quality of food.
