    We've been dining regularly at Upstream for 25 years, so they are obviously doing something right. We had the pot roast and fish & chips this past visit - two reliable, well prepared favorites. Upstream's beers are also consistently great. I always recommend the Dundee Scotch Ale, perhaps my favorite of all beers brewed in Omaha.

    I am from Kansas. This is my second time here. Excellent service. The waiter was great and fun. Food was very good Noise was a little loud but we had a two year old with us and his noise did not interfere with the other guests due to the noise level. This is my favorite place in Omaha

    I was very impressed with the quality of food and the service here. I don't very often equate a brewery with having great food but Upstream is the exception to this rule. I wasn't blown away by the beers but they were still above average and coupled with the food and service makes this a great stop on a sunny afternoon. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Omaha.

    Upstream brewing Company is a good casual place for dinner with family. For appetizers, we ordered the artichoke cheese dip and the salmon rillette. The artichoke cheese dip was very tasty and served with beer bread. The salmon rillete was on the bland side, reminded me of like a tuna salad with mayonnaise, but with salmon instead. Definitely would not order this again. For our dinner entrées, we ordered the Nebraska pub burger with crispy onions, Havarti cheese, and a bacon jam. It comes with fries. Also, the black and blue burger with blue cheese, and bacon. Also comes with fries. The burgers were very good. Upstream brewery is known for their local beers and has an extensive selection, but we did not try any on this visit.

    I have been going to the Upstream Brewery for years for special occasions, date nights, birthdays, etc. Normally, service is decent, the food is good, and I'm generally happy with my experience. Last night I went out with my son for a special occasion. In all my time coming to the Upstream, I have never had to send food back. Last night, I had to do just that. The artichoke dip, which is a hot dip, was cold and the cheese wasn't melted, my vegetables were cold, my mashed potatoes looked like they had been sitting in the pot a long time and the edges were dry, and the schnitzel was greasy and luke warm. I sent the dip back, which didn't return until I was halfway done with my meal, and it still wasn't hot. I think they just put more Parmesan and chopped green onions on it and called it a day. This was probably the worst experience I've ever had there. I don't know what's happened to their cooking staff, but they need to get it together.

    Upstream Brewing is a great restaurant in the Old Market area. The menu offers a wide selection of appetizers and entrees, and our server Samantha was very helpful with her recommendations. Upstream has a good tap beer selections with brews that appeal to a variety of palates. The food we ordered was delicious and attractively served. My companion and I shared the artichoke dip on the appetizer menu. He ordered the salmon entre, and I had a bowl of the chicken curry soup, which was amazing. The manager Darrell visited our table and chatted with us for several minutes about Upstream's small batch cask conditioned ale. Very satisfying dining experience!

    They need to upgrade their manners. Whatever the customer wants should be priority. The waitress rushed us into decision and trying to manipulate our decision is not the best look, They really need to work on their breads. I have asked for breads and the waitress brings me beer bread without even confirming me if i eat beer bread. No. I don’t. I am European and I wanted normal white European bread but even tho they had it the waitress didn’t wanna get that to me. Cause she put a lot of effort bringing beer bread?? I hate wasting food and the bread is such a waste. Oh also i asked for “medium well” for my filet mignon but they also bring me just medium. I mean if i am paying for over 50$ for a steak, they better do it right. Ruined our date. I really can’t recommend this place anymore.

    They accommodated our reservation for 7 persons on Saturday night with no problem and on time. Cocktails, appetizers, and entrees were good (highly recommend the pub burger with bacon jam!), sadly the desserts were lackluster (strawberry shortcake cheesecake and bread pudding). The noise level was pleasantly surprising -- not bad at all! Allow some time to find parking, but overall our experience was very good here and we would return.

    Food was standard Upstream experience. Never gonna knock your socks off, but everyone in the group was satisfied with their meals. The irritating part was the substitute “magician” who awkwardly held our table hostage for 20 minutes with his mediocre tricks. Our group had guests from six states who hadn’t seen each other since before Covid - we really would have preferred to have been talking to one another. I tried to tell him that a couple of times in polite terms, but he didn’t seem to follow.
