Jerico’s restaurant – Omaha Nebraska

August 11, 2016

Last time we were in Omaha we stopped here for a delicious prime rib and we decided to stop in again this time. We were here for a pretty early dinner so we could get the early bird prime rib special for only ($14.99). This came with an 8 ounce prime rib, a salad, soup, a roll and a baked potato.

I really enjoyed this prime rib. It was very tasty and was salted and well-seasoned along the edges. Before the prime rib cage our,

salad came it was a rather plain salad but I did enjoy the ranch dressing very much.

The soup this day was beer cheese with bacon and green onions on top this was very good I thought.

This was a Wednesday night so it was Wiener Wednesday and quarter hot dog night which was sponsored by Hebrew national. The condiment station only had a few things; ketchup, mustard, relish but you can’t beat a quarter hot dog especially when it’s a decent brand like Hebrew national.

We were here for rather late breakfast, but they serve breakfast the whole time they’re open. Mom and I ordered the lemon pancakes with bacon ($7.95) and dad ordered the lemon pancakes and sausage also ($7.95). Mom and dad both ordered coffee as well ($2.25).

These lemon pancakes were not huge in size. They were very good and had a good lemon flavor. These also came with homemade raspberry syrup which I thought were excellent and went very good with the lemon pancakes. The bacon I thought was all right.

Big Mama's Kitchen & Catering – Omaha Nebraska

August 10, 2016

Big Mama's Kitchen was featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives years ago; the episode where big Mama made pig ear sandwiches and Guy didn’t know if he wanted to eat it. They also made fried chicken on that episode. They are located in an old school cafeteria which you can either go up the stairs to get to or take the elevator. We arrived for a little bit of a late lunch and I think, but I’m not 100% sure the waitress was big Mama’s granddaughter. She right away took our drink orders my dad ordered a Coke ($1.25) and mom a unsweetened iced tea ($3.50) and I just ordered a water so shortly she was back with the drink cart and delivered my dad a can Coke and a glass with ice and poured my mom’s Iced tea. Then she took our orders; dad ordered the meatloaf lunch ($10.99), I ordered the two-piece oven fried chicken with two sides ($11.99) and mom got the two-piece oven fried chicken with one side ($9.29). After we ordered I noticed big Mama was sitting down with the next table and seemed like she knew the people for a long time, but eventually when they got up to leave they were saying it’s nice to meet you so we found out quickly how friendly of a person big Mama was. Eventually our food arrived

my plate of fried chicken ended up with two thighs and mashed potatoes and chicken gravy and a piece a cornbread and my other side of fried okra was in a dish and had a little cup of raspberry preserves to dip the okra in I guess. I really liked this fried chicken it was fairly crisp but not really crispy and I’m not sure what all was in the breading but it had a bit more seasoning than a lot of fried chicken and it tasted very good. Also it didn’t seem to be quite as greasy as a lot of fried chicken is. The mashed potatoes and gravy were real good to and I really enjoyed the fried okra. I’m not so sure about it in the raspberry preserves but I liked them very much how they came. I used to not be big cornbread person, but now I’m starting to like cornbread a little bit more and this was really good cornbread. Mom really enjoyed her fried chicken as well and was happy with one side and glad you had the option of less sides.

Dad liked his meatloaf and he had mashed potatoes with brown gravy and mac & cheese to go along with this and thought his whole meal was pretty good. During our meal big Mama herself came by and sat down for a while. And she asked who’s idea it was it to come and wondered if we had seen her on TV. We did and it was one of the main reasons we came. And she also wondered what we thought of the food and I was really impressed with it. And she also made sure to tell us that they were going to be moving to a new location in the near future and if we’re ever in Omaha again to make sure and come back and stop in and see her again. Soon after our waitress returned and asked if we wanted dessert so dad ordered apple crisp ($3.50) and mom ordered the sweet potato pie ($4.25). They both really enjoyed their desserts, I tried the apple crisp and really enjoyed it and I didn’t bother trying the sweet potato pie because I really don’t like sweet potato anything. But mom did enjoy it. Soon after we also met big mama’s daughter number two as she called herself who said she helps big Mama with the jams. The whole experience at big mamas was a rather interesting one, from it being in an old school cafeteria which was kind of weird but kind of neat at the same time, how much of a family business it is and that big Mama took so much time to sit and visit with their customers and make them feel welcome was very neat and made lunch even more enjoyable. And the fried chicken you can’t forget about that.

Jerico's Restaurant Omaha, NE

We had been to Jerico's before a few years ago and were really impressed.  We were going through Omaha and again and we decide to stop by. We arrived early to get the early bird special between 4:00 and 5:30. All three of us got the prime rib which was a 7 oz. It came with a salad and a cup of the soup of the day, which was beer cheese with bacon bits and Green onions on top which was very good and I don’t even like beer. It also came with bread that was also very good. You didn't get a choice of potato it was just a baked potato. The early bird special also included ice tea or coffee all for $13.99

The baked potato and salad were not anything special. The prime rib however was amazing and by far the best prime rib I've had, it was melt your mouth and delicious.   When you dipped it in the Au jus it was even better.

Also with it being the early bird special for 13.99 it made it even better.   Normally it is 21.99 for a bigger piece of meat, but with the soup or salad instead of both and your ice tea or coffee would not be included. This place didn't look all that exciting from the outside, But once inside it was great.
