Pig & Finch

This place was excellent. I had the gnocchi, which was super rich and cheesy. The boyfriend had the beef with sweet potatoes. Both of us are über picky one no gluten & the other vegetarian so we are usually pretty limited on choices at farm to table menus but we were both happy. Great service, cool environment.

Came here for a holiday party with coworkers. We tried the marrow appetizer, the capers cut the richness of the marrow and made it easier to eat more of it. I also had the duck cassoulet. The duck was flavorful and crispy and tasted great with the sausage and pork belly. We also tried the brussel sprout side, which was amazing with the apples and the thick cut bacon. We had pretty good service in the side room we reserved.

Have been wanting to check out this place for quite some time and finally got the opportunity. The ambience is nice and cozy. It took the kitchen a very long time to bring out our food; almost an hour. I found this quite odd since the place was not busy. We ordered the bone marrow for an appetizer. This looked great but had to send them back to the kitchen because the middle of the marrow was still frozen. Our food was very bland too.
Overall, I’m giving this experience 3 stars because of the food quality.

I tried the kale Caesar salad. It was pretty good. The French onion soup was also pretty good. Nothing life shattering. My daughter had grilled cheese and French fries. She said they were great, though very oily. I was pleased with the beer menu.

Excellent dinner tonight, specially the pork shoulder! This dish was slow cooked perfection with espresso and maple flavors. It was accompanied by kale and sweet potato, also flavored with maple. This is a comfort dish that was so perfect on a cold night. Paired well with a glass of red!
I like the décor here too. Dimly lit (couldn’t easily grab a good photo which is too bad) gastropub vibe. Service was really great too! There are lots of good stores in this strip mall including many of my favorites (Sur la table, l’occitane, trader joes).

It’s about time I updated my review for Pig & Finch.
Since our initially disappointing visit, I’ve been back thrice. All for lunch. And all three subsequent visits have surpassed the initial dinner by leaps and bounds (though it wouldn’t take much to improve from that first impression).
In those visits I’ve sampled flatbreads, salads, soups, sandwiches and a decadently rich potato gnocchi (redundant?) I have not ventured to order the BLT again, though.
As you can see, my rating has improved substantially. And though Pig and Finch Omaha still doesn’t hold a candle to the Unilocal reviews of its’ Kansas City counterpart, I would happily visit again.

I had the BALT (the A is for avocado). The bacon was thick and there was lots of it. While the sandwich was delicious, the crispy bread was soaked with grease. I wiped my hands on my napkin after every single bite. The fries had lots of flavor, but were a little soft.
I’ll probably go back, as everything looked and tasted amazing. But I can’t get past that greasy toast.

My wife and I came to try the Sunday brunch for the first time.
We sat outside to take advantage of the perfect weather.
She had the Banana’s Foster french toast and I had the Pub Breakfast.
The french toast was recommended and it lived up to it. Very good.
The Pub breakfast is a more traditional dish with eggs, toast, 2 strips of bacon and potatos.
It was very good as well.

Every time I come here food and service is top notch. I have brought friends and family here many times and they have all been impressed with the ambiance, décor, quality of food, and friendly servers. This time we were here for their great happy hour which runs every day from 3:30 — 6:00p (2:00−6:00 Sat and Sun). They have $ 6 wines by the glass and other cocktails. They also have half price ($ 3) appetizers which is a steal. We had their maytag blue cheese potatoe chips which are one of my must haves anytime I go. For dinner we shared one of their sides, the potato gnocchi with bacon and peas. Delicious! It just melts in your mouth. We also shared the B.L.A.T. and added a fried egg of course. The bacon is thick and crispy and served on yummy La Quartier bread with lettuce and avocado. Believe me this is not an easy sandwich to eat, and it is so messy but so completely worth it! It also comes with green beans, pickled red onions, roasted tomatoes, and fries on the side.

Pig and Finch continues to be my most favorite restaurant in Omaha. Excellent service, amazing food, and lovely drinks.

I stopped in here for lunch on a Thursday in July.
The restaurant is located in the One Pacific Place retail area in the unit that Ruby Tuesday occupied forever. From what I gather, and as of the time I write this review, it’s been open for a little over a year. One Pacific Place is close to I-​680 which means you can zip into it from almost anywhere in the metro area in a reasonable amount of time.
When I first walked in I was sort of left standing at the hostess station with no host/​hostess to be seen. After an awkward minute or two a lady appeared and sat me. I’d find out later that the hostess likes to spend her time over at the bar chit-​chatting with the wait staff. She was nice enough, but needs to be a little more attentive.
I was greeted promptly by my waitress and she immediately took my drink order and quickly delivered them. They weren’t especially busy (50% of capacity perhaps). They have good fresh-​brewed iced tea that they server in Mason jars (Ball jars actually, but who calls them that?). They have an okay selection of craft beer, but for a place that calls itself a gastropub I expect a lot better selection of craft beer (especially on draft). They should go take note of the selection Blatt Beer & Table has. Waitress was friendly and attentive. I sat at a booth in the bar area, so my waitress was also the bartender.
I ordered the Brian’s Burger. It’s a burger (they grind the meat themselves using chuck and brisket) with blue cheese, bourbon pickled jalapeños, bacon marmalade, and roasted garlic mayo on a brioche bun. It was served with fries (they call them «Finch Fries»). I wasn’t asked how I wanted my burger cooked and I failed to specify it myself. I was served a medium-​well patty, but despite its doneness was still juicy. I did ask for the roasted garlic mayo on the side as I think restaurants tend to over-​do the mayo. The burger was good, but not great. It felt like it was missing something. Then, on about the 4^th bite I got some jalapeños in the bite and the heat they provided brought it all together. It seems they just didn’t do a decent job of evenly distributing the toppings on my burger. I think if they switch from jalapeño slices to finely dicing the jalapeños that they’d get a more uniform coverage. Overall, a good burger, but the execution was off. I ordered the fries «extra crispy.» They complied (you’d be surprised how many restaurants ignore that request and serve then the standard way) and they served me some pretty tasty fries.
Restaurant is nice inside as you’d expect a West Omaha gastropub to be. Upscale but casual.
Overall, a good gastropub. It’s got One Pacific Place pricing, so you’re going to pay $ 15 for a hamburger. Twisted Fork is over just a few blocks and I feel they have superior food at a slightly better price point. Still, Pig & Finch is a solid choice and worth checking out.

This place is very close to my hotel so I had to give it a try.
The server was very attentive and informative.
The menu had so many options. I’m not sure why the Short Rib Ragout Grilled Cheese captured my attention, but it did! Short ribs on a sandwich with bunches of cheese and tomato soup. Talk about comfort food!
Well, it was definitely good, but grilled cheese it was not. The short ribs are the star of the dish and calling it a grilled cheese is a bit of a stretch. Don’t get me wrong, it was delicious, it just wasn’t exactly what I was expecting.
The waiter told me I would need a knife and fork for the sandwich. He was right. That made it difficult to… I don’t know, dip the grilled cheese sandwich in the tomato soup. Isn’t that what one is supposed to do with grilled cheese and tomato soup? Well, this is a very, very fancy grilled cheese and as I mentioned it isn’t really a grilled cheese at all, so dripping in tomato soup… not going to happen.
Maybe it’s because it’s served with tomato soup that I expected more of a traditional grilled cheese. In a way it’s misleading.
But if you know what you’re going to get… a very delicious short rib served on toasted bread with some cheese (really, the cheese was hard to locate) with a side of tasty tomato soup, then you won’t be surprised and you’ll enjoy this delicious concoction.
Don’t get me wrong (I find myself adding this statement a lot because restaurants are getting savvy and responding to Unilocal reviews!), this dish was delicious and quite frankly I’d order it again. I truly believe, however, renaming the dish would make it less of a surprise and more delectable for customers.

Back for another visit and I’m afraid to report a poorer experience.
The food, which only disappointed my husband last time, fell short for both of us. My $ 30 lamb dish was the low point of the meal: the lamb was stringy, the potatoes were still hard, and even when I asked for softer potatoes, they came back from the kitchen still too hard to enjoy. The eggplant parmigiana could have been from anywhere. The inside was quite mushy and the outside wasn’t crispy. It missed the mark. The house made tater tots were nothing special, just fried hash browns. I discernible seasoning. The high point of the meal was my side salad (quite tasty!).
It looks like they haven’t fixed their service problem. Our server just didn’t seem very genuine and came off almost pretentious. She didn’t know the answers to our questions about the menu, and made me feel silly for asking. It didn’t make me want to stay there very long, or come back for a third visit.
I’m bummed. I really wanted to love this place. The décor is great and it’s in a good location.

Nice gastropub — beautiful bar area. Started off with a craft martini — the Finch. It was made with basil infused vodka, fresh lemons — QUITE delicious. The bartenders were SO friendly and accommodating.
We then sat for dinner and started with pretzel bites, homemade tater tots and pork belly served over lentils with a poached egg (my personal favorite).
For dinner I had mahi with pineapple coulis and quinoa/​kale sauté. Mahi a little dry and the kale sautee over garlicky — I think next time I’ll try more casual fare like a sandwich or burger.
Our server was excellent.
Will be back next time in Omaha

I stopped at Pig and Finch while passing through Omaha and am glad that I chose it for my pit stop. I had the Salmon Crepes and found them to be the perfect lunch portion. The lemon crème fraiche and the balsamic reduction was the perfect touch to the meal and it is served with a healthy portion of mixed greens on top.
I was especially impressed by the service. My server was Rachael and she was attentive during the meal, as expected. What stood out though was her service AFTER the meal. After I had paid by credit card and she had brought it back for me to sign I briefly remained in the booth jotting down a to-​do list. I was pleasantly surprised when she without saying a word switched out my empty glass of iced tea with a full one. I know it was a small thing but that fact that after the meal was over and I had already paid she did not make me feel hurried but instead brought me a refill really stood out.
One tip: If you don’t have a flashlight app on your cell phone, download one before heading to the bathroom here. Seriously, the ladies room was super dark. To add to the lack of lighting, the walls are black tile and the counters are black stone as well, making it a rather dark experience.

A-​OK 3.5 stars. I really wanted to like this place as it looked nice on the outside and inside, with classier but modern inside décor. It felt comfy, the place mats and utensil settings in front of you are nicely set. The service was pretty good– constant refilling of water glasses and a welcoming attitude.
The food though, just didn’t scream anything special to me. It left me wanting more of a flavor out of the dishes. I had the short rib grilled cheese and tomato soup plus tried the side of short rib Mac and cheese. I would say the Mac and cheese was the best thing there. The grilled cheese was very hearty but didn’t wow me. No strong flavors there and the tomato soup was probably similar to a marinara sauce from the jar. Others in my party got the wild sausage sandwich. They said the toppings on the sausage sandwich were better than the sausage. Didn’t have enough fat in the sausage.

Great location, nice décor and an AMAZING brunch. We shared the fried donut holes with lemon curd and raspberry whipped cream and were VERY happy with the selection. We also both had the Bananas Foster French Toast — the waitress asked if we were splitting that as well; should have taken her advice. Perfectly cooked brioche french toast, a wonder rum sauce with banana slices and a Chantilly cream that was completely on point The portion was HUGE though and this will definitely be a «split meal» next time. We saw the pancakes come out and thought the same thing about that dish but it definitely looked good.
Also of note, the prices were very reasonable for a brunch and for the quality of food. If nothing else, brunch will be on the agenda again but we need to check out lunch or dinner some time.

This place has been on my «restaurant bucket list» for a while. It has gotten mixed review on Unilocal,but everyone I have talked to who has been here in person has loved it, so when my friend and I were trying to decide on a happy hour location last Friday, I suggested Pig & Finch. Their happy hour goes until 6 pm, and it was 5:45 pm when we arrived. It looked crowded but we decided to try our luck and just order off the regular menu if need be.
When I walked in, I saw a few seats at the bar, so I decided to bypass the hostess stand and headed straight there. Upon sitting at the bar, the bartender said hello and then I was promptly ignored for about 10 minutes (no menu, no «I’ll be right with you,» no nothing). Luckily our visit was uphill from there. Since I didn’t have a menu, I pulled up their happy hour menu on my phone and when the bartender finally made it over, I ordered a couple drinks and food items from their pub menu (which is $ 3 during happy hour). I went with a glass of the chardonnay for my friend ($ 6 during happy hour) and the Finch martini for me (also $ 6 during happy hour). For food I ordered the pretzel bites (served with stone ground mustard and ale cheese sauce) and the bread and butter pickle chips (served with buttermilk ranch). When my friend arrived, the bartender brought over glasses of water for us and she also ordered the maytag blue cheese potato chips. It ended up that the pub menu online was out of date and the pickle chips weren’t included on happy hour, but they were still only $ 6 and totally worth the cost.
To start with, my martini was fantastic. I don’t remember what is in it, but I would compare it to a slightly sweeter version of a French 75. It was very light and refreshing with just a hint of sweetness. The food came out In record time (maybe 5 minutes) and was all piping hot, fresh, and incredibly delicious. The pretzel bites were fluffy with a rich flavor, and the cheese ale sauce was delicious (the mustard was sort of meh). The pickle chips were some of the best I’ve ever had, and the blue cheese potato chips were also incredible. We easily cleaned all three plates.
Our plates were quickly cleared and the bartender and food runners made friendly small talk with us while we were there. It took a little while to get our tab and pay (maybe 10 minutes) but they were pretty busy at this point so it was understandable. We were eventually given a full menu, which we looked over and agreed that we wanted to try about 80% of the menu. There are a lot of places that I am content going to as just a happy hour spot, but this isn’t one of them. The prices are on the high side for Omaha, but the food looks very good and worth the price. I will be back here for dinner at some point, but in the mean time I was very satisfied with my happy hour experience. I would highly recommend giving Pig & Finch a try.

Happy hour is a good deal. We came in tonight to get a little bit before going in TJ’s and the location is fine with me. This spot of town has always had a bunch of different business occupying here. They seem to last about two years. I hope P&F can last because they have some things going for them.
Trying to cozy up to the bar was an arduous task as it seemed that every stool was jammed edge to edge and it was like those logic puzzles you did when you were a kid and had to arrange the tiles to form a picture.
The pretzel bites are pretty good and presented well. Happy hour prices make them $ 3 and that is what you get. Tastewise, I cannot review an entire menu based on one item, but everything they do looks similar. A little plank with food arranged artfully. If you like bacon then you are in hog heaven. Actually hog hell. It is really hipster and for me, overly pretentious. Bowties & Beards would be a more suitable name for this spot.
In the first five minutes of my visit I knew more about our server than they knew of us. In hospitality you usually try to encourage the guest to share by using open questions and creating rapport. In all fairness he knew his wine and that was helpful to get the right one. I know my beers and the tap selection was dismal. Please don’t try to talk Stella up to me. It is garbage. I know what I wanted and it was only in bottles, but again I wasn’t here for the experience, rather for the convenience.

Went here on a Friday for lunch. The place was busy a little busy. Upscale look and very nice atmosphere thats complementary to the Regency area.
We ordered the:
* Shrimp and Feta flatbread – liked it
* Lamb burger – was good
* and the B.L.A.T. Sandwich – really good!
Their fries were a little too greasy for our taste.
They also have a nice wine and cocktail selections. We didn’t get a chance to sample any of them as well as their selections of beer. Maybe next time. We’ll definitely be back.
