wheatfields eatery & bakery

found this place tucked around the corner and thought we would give it a chance. everyone in our party of five was impressed the waffles were fantastic, the tuna melt was really good. my husband got the south omahabreakfastand lived it. my son got the lobster benedict and refused to leave until he finished it. this place is a keeper!!

when it is cold outside there is nothing like good comfort food to warm you up. this month population-we™ (pop-we) dinner club foodie conrad chose wheatfields eatery & bakery. wheatfields has three locations scattered throughout the omaha metropolitan area: the old market (downtown), one pacific place and shadow lake in papillion. with a slight european flare, they serve simple food that customers love. servingbreakfastall-day, wheatfields has a large menu to satisfy any craving. our dinner club went to the one pacific place location near regency (1224 s. 103rd st.). read our full dinner club review at...

a must to avoid for groups. we brought our son's wedding party here for a rehearsal dinner. two months in advance, we reserved the patio, informing them that we would have 12-15 people. we paid a $100.deposit against a $250 guaranteed minimum. when we arrived, we quickly learned that a group of 50 had come in at the same time. we had one server, who pushed drinks. i asked for a martini and was told the bar had no vodka. he was slow to take our orders from 12 people and it took over an hour to get our food. it was so late by the time we finished that we cancelled the fondues we'd planned. told we'd have to pay for them anyway, i asked to see the manager. i argued that because they had ignored us for a much larger group we were even. she ended up charging us another $171, plus an 18 percent tip. after i signed the debit chit, i asked for a copy. promising one, she disappeared. after finally getting one from staff, i saw her sitting outside talking to another staff. the verdict? decent food, reasonable prices, poor to average service, best avoided with smaller groups, especially o friday night. because of their tardiness, my son and his brother were late for the bachelor party, and we were handed the fondues anyway. at least we got a freebreakfastout of it.

impressed. while in town a friend brought us here for lunch. i was impress to find the food was fresh and great tasting. the service was average and the prices we reasonable for quality meals. i’d like to come back forbreakfaston our next visit to omaha. on a scale of 1 to 5, i’ll give this a 4+.

great breakfast. my brother had previously been to wheatfields so when he was in town again he picked to come here again!

the restaurant is so cute inside! i didnt realize it has a bakery section as well as a restaurant.

they have a hugebreakfastmenu, and everything on it sounds amazing. it was such a hard decision to pick what i wanted to order! i ended up asking the server his opinion and he helped me decide.

i had a wrap with bacon, egg, cheese, and mashed potatoes in it! (was supposed to have sausage but i opted for none) it was really good. and a side of hash browns and cooked cinnamon apples

they give you huge portions at a decent price!!

i will definitely go back

good food, not the best, but good. i ate lunch at wheatfields last wednesday with my mom. i really don't have anything bad to say about it. service was actually good, but it has been slow in my past experiences.

my biggest complaint about wheatfields is their menu system. it sends me into overload! i suppose this could be considered a good thing, but i think they could condense things, or at least use less overwhelming (obnoxious) font in their menus. they have breakfast, fondues, "butterbuns", salads, wraps, more sandwiches, hot dinner-like entrees, a chicken section, an atkins section, a burger section, a crepe section, casseroles, desserts...you get the picture. (no, i didn't memorize their menu, but looked on their website...just wanted to give you an idea about their ginormous selections/sections.) it's almost humorous once you get to looking at everything.

okay, enough with that. menu business aside, their food is good. nothing fancy, but just comforting, home-cooked style food. they have tons of vegetarian options, which i enjoy. this day i had the eggplant/veggie wrap and liked it. tons of veggies and it had a herbed cream cheese spread; the wrap itself was good too. the menu said it was served with chips, which i was fine with...but when i got my plate, i noticed they were clearly sun chips. i like sun chips, but a restaurant like this serving them? kinda odd. if they had served it with homemade chips, it would've been a perfect lunch.

my mom had an asparagus/tomato/cheese sandwich (i've had this before, and it's amazing) and she loved it. hers came with waffle fries, which are also really good here.

overall, i would recommend this place forbreakfastor lunch. their bakery/pastry section looks amazing, though i've never tried any of them.

good luck reading through the menus, though. :-)

not only was the food of horrible quality, so was the service. i have been to wheatfields a couple times before and i have never had a good experience. the food is way overpriced and is not even that good. you could have a betterbreakfastat perkins and for $20 less! no joke! the servers there always seem pissed off and have no personality and if there is a problem don't expect it to be fixed or to even receive an apology! oh, and watch out for the omelets, they have no problem charging you $25 for an omelet that would have cost me $5 at home. i have also heard that the proprietor treats his employees very unfairly! if you're cravingbreakfastor american food, look somewhere else!

dessert heaven. i have been to wheatfields a few times now and have decided that the dessert is wonderful. although they have a huge food menu with a wide selection of items, the food tends to be bland. all of the food is well-made, but as characteristic of most mid-america restaurants, the food is lacking in flavor. they servebreakfastall day, which i would say is there best offering. all of their baked goods (breads and muffins) have been fantastic and the desserts are to awesome. so, my recommendation is: get a light meal and save up your appetite for one of their desserts.

$1 bread on tuesday. they are doing $1 bread on every tuesdays. i don't know if it's close to expiry date items, but if it's $1, who cares?

good pastry and food. wow, they have such an amazing selection of pastry and dessert! all looks so yummy and can't decide which i want to try. i tried their waffle from thebreakfastmenu and it got tons of fruits and stuff! they have sun room if you want to try diffrent atmosphere. neat place!

mmm, mmm good!. wheatfields is an eatery and bakery.breakfastis served all day and night. one interesting tidbit about the place is that it has the neatest names for items on their menu. from the eggstacy sandwich and my big fat greek scramble to crepes aphrodite and after the spa, these dishes have a name that catches any eye.

upon arriving, i was seated right away in one of the back booths. there was no line today, perhaps because of the weather or because people were at the taste of omaha. usually, the place is packed. after reviewing the menu for at least 15 minutes and gulping down a delicious cup of coffee, i decided to order the kielbasa and eggs. the dish has two scrambled eggs and a large polish kielbasa sausage. it is served with their yummy ciabatta toast with bumbleberry jam and hash browns - $10.99.

the eggs were scrambled and had an addition of pepper jack cheese on them (i couldn't resist). the kielbasa sausage had a crackling skin and very flavorful inside. it was cooked perfectly. the toasted ciabatta bread with tasty bumbleberry jam is always a favorite of mine and the hash browns were a buttery golden brown. totally a divine breakfast!

alejandro was our server and he was simply outstanding. he took care of our every need and was super attentive. wheatfields has excellent service and the people are so friendly.

upon leaving, i stopped to look at their fresh baked items and couldn't resist buying a pumpkin spice loaf - $4 and an almond pound loaf. their fresh baked goods are delicious and affordable! total win-win today!
