Block 16 Happy Hour Review

Located on 16th and Farnam right next to Douglas County Courthouse (1611 Farnam St). Happy Hour is Thursday to Saturday from 3pm to 6pm. Happy Hour offers $2 Select Beers, $5 Wines and $5 Select Appetizers. Farm to Table is Block 16's style.Offering fresh and local street food to the table.

Vintage dressers and chalk board menus, posted on the wall brings its charm. Block 16 offers casual dining and early 2000 hits like Jay-Z "Izzo"and OutKast. Dining area is quite small but Block 16 uses every space for enough seating.

 For starters I tried Zip Lines Brewing Company (Lincoln, NE) Oatmeal Porter ($2) . Organic rolled oats with dark chocolate and coffee undertones. I'm not a beer kind of girl, it reminded me of a Mocha but beer. First appetizer I tried was the Smoked Brisket Quesadilla (smoked brisket, with corn relish). Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of this divine creation. Please forgive me!!! Thin sliced brisket sandwiched between two different cheeses (american and provolone) drizzled with I believe a chipotle sauce,and topped with corn relish. To be honest I was expecting more meat, but the portion was reasonable. I was able to taste the smokiness from the brisket. Who would of thought that BBQ and Mexican would go together.

Next was the Lavosh (flatbread with heirloom tomato, white anchovy, onion, herbs, and Grena Podona). When it comes to anchovies I'm not a rookie. What I learned from my visit is that not all anchovies are the same. I was expecting thin,smoked, and salty filet of anchovies. What I got was thick and cold filet. It wasn't much flavor overall. This dish tasted plain jane. I was expecting a lot more. I caught myself taking the toppings off and just eating the flatbread alone. 

Even though I had a good time, enjoyed my beer and quesdialla. I give Block 16's Happy Hour 1 smiles. Their Happy Hour isn't much to brag about it. Eventually I will go back and try their main menu items. Block 16 are host of many awards and accolades and I can't wait to try the Duck Duck Goose Fries.  

Brio Tuscan Grills Happy Hour Review

BRIO!!! Oh how I adore Brio! I can’t tell you how much I love going to $$$ restaurants with cheap Happy Hours. Kansas City I found my favorite spot in your city! Located in the middle of the Plaza, Brio definitely compliments the beauty of KC. Gorgeous décor and a welcoming atmosphere. I felt right at home. To be honest I’m not really a Sangria fan. But Brio won me over with their White Peach Sangria (Peach nectar, berries and citrus fruits, peach schnapps, and chardonnay on the rocks). For $4 it’s worth the party you’re about to have. The Tomato Margherita Flatbread was delicious. Crisp, and full of flavor. Three words. Black. Pepper. Shrimp. (Pan seared shrimp, Romano crusted eggplant and black pepper cream sauce) Crispy eggplant and succulent shrimp is like fireworks in your mouth. Seriously bold, spicy, and just simply divine. Last but not LEAST, the Brio Burger. The bun itself I could eat alone. Broiled to perfection it’s was delicious. Brio has to be one of my favorites. I can’t wait to come back! 5 SMILES!

M's Pup Happy Hour Review

Sociable, Charm, and Delectable Food is M’s Pub motto.   Located in the heart of the Old Market, M’s Pub defiantly has the Charm and delectable food. As good as the food and décor of M’s Pub is, the customer service needed work.  One thing I don’t tolerate is poor customer service. Once my party was seated it took 15 minutes for a waiter to bring us water and to say hello. The waiters were busy tasting food that the chef prepared. Now I understand that waiters need to know whats on the menu. When you have customers that don’t even have glasses or menus on the table, you should know whats up! In order for us to receive service we had to wave for a waiter. Oh let me not forget, we also had a time limit!  M’s Pubs Happy Hour offers select apps and cocktails. We sampled the Chicarones, Pretzel Bites, and Sliders. The Chicarones are basically pork skins with Salsa Verde and Cotlja Cheese. Delicious snack that would go perfect with a beer. The Sliders were made with lamb topped with feta cheese, sauce and tomato. Reminded me of a gyro…I love gyros. The food was good, but because of the customer service my whole experience could’ve been better. With that being said M’s Pub gets 2 Smiles. 

Twisted Fork Happy Hour Review

Review-Remix!!!!! It was only right to visit Twisted Fork on my Anniversary!  April 2, 2013 was when God gave me the vision for #H3G at Twisted Fork. Wow we've came so far but so much more to do! Im soooo excited and ready to get to work!  Twisted Fork offers discounted bar food and cocktails.  I must say they don't have a grand selection of food but their cocktails is a different story.  If you like anything tropical try "Christmas in July". (Grape vodka,  blue curacao, pineapple and orange) Remind me of a bomb pop. Twisted's wings are always on point but honey the Spinach Artichoke Quesadilla was everything!!!!! Crispy and creamy you didn't need chicken!

If you're a resident of Omaha, I know you're familiar with Roja. Currently there are two locations, one downtown and the other in west Omaha. My hunny amd I visited the West O location during Reverse Happy Hour. This was my first time eating at Roja and we had a ball! We started off with their Margaritas, which was EVERYTHING by the way!!! I absolutely loved the nachos ($5)!!!! The portion can def feed two! I love the taquitos!!! Roja def has an amazing HH, mostly everything is under $5. You CAN'T beat that!!! Roja get 3 1/2 Smiles :)
