Ref's Sports Bar & Grill: Your Ultimate Sports Bar Experience in Omaha

All around 5 stars, my fiancée and I love coming to Refs, GiGi is a great server but she isn't all. They are always quick to bring out food and the drinks are always mixed perfectly by the bartender, they definitely go above and beyond. We highly recommend their wings, shrimp and BBQ pizza. Thank you so much for being great!

Had been wanting ring to try Refs for some time. Overall it was an OK experience. The facility is new and well taken care of. It was very clean and inviting. Great patio that was dog friendly from theoom of it. We were greeted at our table about 4 minutes after we sat down. The server was polite. We had asked her about a couple menu items but she was too new to tell us much. To her credit she was honest and didn't just make something up. We ordered Chislic, that is sirloin steak bites for you non South Dakotans. Had never heard of this dish until I met my wife from SD. The steak bits came on a skewer and were well seasoned. These were ordered rare and cooked perdectly. Tots were ordered as a side but we got fries. Dish was $12. Off the kids menus we went for the chicken strips for $7. Daughter orded fries and was pleased. Meal came with three full size strips. They tasted pretty good..slight hint of fish as i am guessing they were fried in same oil as their fried fish offerings. I had the Philly. It comes with onion, green peppers and provolone. I had ordered no green peppers. The sandwich was large and the first bite had a ton off green peppers...had to send it back since they did not fix it as ordered. Second sandwich came out correctly. They really should ccok the onions longer so they are a bit softer. There was a generous amount of cheese which was nice and the roll was good as well. I chose fries as my side. They have krinkle cut fries which I love. The issue here was the fries were under cooked. Sandwich was $12. Soft drinks were $3.50 and wine was served by the half bottle or at least the kind my wife got. It was $9 and felt like a good value. Wife had asked for water when the server greeted us, then again 10 mins later and by the time our hour was over we still had nit seen it. Our server was not very attentive as evidenced by the lack of water, my drink had set empty for at least 5 mins before I had to flag her down. The place was about half full at this time. Management should keep and eye on their young workers. They seemed as interested in looking at their phones, messing with their hair and taking selfish of themselves, as they were in working. We will go back to try it one more time but our high hopes were not met on this first visit.

I have searched over and over for a really good cauliflower pizza where you truly can’t tell the difference. Ref’s nailed it!!! And they have good ranch. (Always a winner in our house). - we always get it to go and it’s still good.

First time customer for the four of us. Mix of good and not so good. The good, food was excellent (5 star). Gluten free pizza, Chicken Cordon Bleu, patty melt, and chicken strips were top notch. The dips appear to be house made. Good selection of tap beers. Food prices were fair. Server (4 star) was very friendly and helpful, but a bit slow. Had to wait a few minutes for menus, no check in after we received our food, took too long to settle our bill. Place was about 25% full. Room is all concrete and metal so being on the small side its loud and echoes. Patio looks nice. Now a couple pet peeves. Credit card fee of 3.5%. Most pay with credit cards so it feels like another way to grab a couple extra bucks from the customer. Also, tips should be calculated BEFORE taxes. It annoys me when the tip guide on the bill is AFTER taxes. This feels deceitful. Ref's not only includes taxes in the tip guide, but the credit card fee. Are you kidding me? We might give Ref's another try in a few months, but for others, my recommendation, get the food to go, bring cash, and a calculator.

Great atmosphere! Tons of tvs with all different games on. Great prices and service!

Do NOT miss their Monday special ! Succulent, tender roast beef perfectly seasoned with mashed potatoes and gravy. A surprise under the massive beef is a delicious crunchy butter-toasted bread. The pork tenderloin is thick and a huge portion. (The photo speaks for itself)! The club sandwich is always a favorite for a companion. Great food- Sports bar- patio seating available-tucked away in neighborhood off Harrison Street. Glasses always kept full by attentive servers!

Beautiful bar! Finally made it here to try it out, and was not disappointed. There are so many tvs in here, it’s crazy! We went for lunch around 1:30 in the afternoon and there were not that many people inside, so it was nice and quiet. There was only one server working the whole restaurant when we were there, and we still received excellent service. I ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich, and it was cooked a perfect shade of golden brown and tasted amazing. The same was true for the tots. Will definitely be returning to try more menu items.
