Jams an American Grill has two locations in Omaha. One in
the Old Market (1101 Harney Street) and in Midtown. Jams Happy Hour is Monday
through Friday from 3:30PM to 6:30PM. Happy Hour consist of $2 Off Craft, $1
off Glasses of Wine and discounted Tap. Unfortunately at the Old Market location
Jams does not offer discounted small plates. Rumor has it that the Midtown
location does however.
Upon entering Jams, I automatically fell in love with the
atmosphere. Jams took over the old Rock Bottom Brewery location and from sight
you couldn’t tell. Jams gives you the laid back, just want to drink a beer and
watch soccer type feel which I enjoyed. I was very excited to try food and
drinks, but was disappointed to find out that their happy hour only consisted
of drinks. So I started off with a Texas Style Mules made with Tito’s Vodka.
Tasty, smooth, with a kick at the end which I liked.
Because I’m not a recreational drinker, I decided to try an
entrée instead of another drink. I ordered the Korean Short Rib Sandwich $13
(Provolone, sautéed onions, roasted peppers, and spicy fermented Red Soybean
Paste). To be honest I wish I ordered another drink instead. Let’s just say
that I had high expectations of this sandwich. This sandwich tasted like a
bland cheesesteak. The meat itself was bland, and I really couldn’t taste the
soybean paste. The only thing I really could taste was the cilantro that was piled
high. With the sandwich I ordered the French fries and they tasted like they
came from King Kong.
Overall, I give Jams 2 smiles. Amazing atmosphere and
customer service. But the food lacked flavor and texture. I really wish that
they offered discounted small plates...I mean food also makes a grand Happy
Hour!
