White House Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Omaha

Let me tell you, this place is a really great little gem of a local pub. I went there very late in the evening, when everything else seemed to be closed.

From the exterior, it looked pretty nondescript. Once inside, I was happy to meet Linda, the sole employee working at that time. She was a really wonderful, warm and engaging presence. She gave me my drink, and went to cook my food.

The menu is simple and effective. Burgers, fries, onion rings, wings, tenders,a Philly cheese steak, and that's pretty close to it. A few beers, a good selection of liquor. To be honest, I didn't expect much. I was completely expecting frozen patties on my burger, frozen onion rings, etc. Especially that late at night. I was wrong.

What I got was a delicious hand crafted burger, large patty, fresh onion rings, all perfectly seasoned and really perfectly crispy fries. I was feeling satiated almost immediately. The food was remarkably great.

Linda is just perfect. What a great personality. We chatted for a long time as the locals came in and things just got better. If you like intimate and lively places that the locals love, this is that place. I thrive on private small independent pubs. Love them. This is a place that I will totally come back to. Especially on Thursday and Saturday nights as I know that the service will be friendly and the company of other locals will be lively and engaging.

Thank you so much for an AWESOME experience Linda. To me, there's no mystery in the fact that some of your esteemed regulars have been coming there for 30+ years. Is all about the atmosphere.

Great place to visit....

While in Omaha on business I randomly picked a local sports bar that just happened to be within a mile of my hotel. The reviews looked pretty solid so I gave this one a try. This place is very quaint and unassuming on the outside. Growing up in a small town I can definitely appreciate that. When I arrived I was the only one who grabbed a table. The only one. There were several patrons at the bar who seemed to know each other. They were very friendly.

I asked for a food menu and it was very straightforward. Cheeseburger, Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Battered Mushrooms, Philly Cheesesteak, etc. They were very inexpensive.

I ordered a Mushroom and Swiss Burger with Battered Mushrooms. OMG. It was like stepping into a time portal back to my childhood. You can't get bar food like this anywhere else. I was surprised that I was the only one eating. Do people know about this gem? ...

I been coming here for quite some time. Burgers are always on point. Tonight MacKenzie made me one of the best burgers I have had here. Don't get me wrong they have good cooks and bartenders here, but....she cooked my burger I order on point! One of the best dive bars I have been to in my travels! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Omaha! ♥️

MACKENZIE♥️ served me my first burger here and her last burger that asked for was super on point! Love you and thank you for making my experience here great! The bartenders here are so attentive and always on point that this is my go to place for food or drinks. Thank you White House for all...
