pop-we Dinner Club Reviews Our Place In Arlington

Our Place Catfish Dinner.

This month foodies in population-we™ (pop-we) Dinner Club traveled to a Nebraska town with a population of 1,243 called, Arlington. Our stop for this road trip was Our Place Restaurant & Lounge, located at 243 N 3rd St. in Arlington. It was Scott's pick and in the email unveiling the location he described it as: "Great little place to gather and have some great food."

Signs were posted throughout stating: "Open Sundays Now" that would explain why we practically had the place to ourselves. Our waitress who waited on our party of 14 entirely by herself gave us the choice or eating in the lounge (bar) or restaurant side. The bar side was dark and completely empty except for a very opinionated local sitting at the bar; however, the restaurant side was bright and looked liked it was recently remodeled. We let Scott make the call and he picked the restaurant side.

This evening, Our Place had a variety of dinner options steak, prime rib, fish and sandwiches; all which our foodies ate. I decided on the Catfish Dinner. The catfish was tasty as well as seasoned and fried to perfection. My two sides; green beans and hash browns--could have been larger though and the dinner roll was stale. A final note, they don't serve dessert. Overall, we had a good time and meal and will be back.

After compiling the surveys from the other foodies the pop-we Dinner Club gives Our Place: 3.9 star average on a scale of 1-5.

pop-we Dinner Club Reviews Jim and Jennie’s Greek Village

Opa! population-we™ (pop-we) foodie Randy decided we would have Greek this month at Jim and Jennie’s Greek Village located at 3026 N 90th Street in Omaha, NE. Established in 1985, Jim and Jennie’s has been serving up authentic Grecian food in this strip mall. In 2013, Jim and Jennie's was even named one of Best of Omaha by Omaha Magazine.

Jim and Jennie's Chicken Gyro.

When you walk through the doors you are standing in the dining area where you are greeted by one of the waitresses to seat you. Jim and Jennie’s is made up of two small dining areas: the first, when you immediately walk in; and the other, takes you past the kitchen immediately to the left until you arrive in the other small dining area. The restaurant's right wall is filled with mirrors and along the half wall, that separates the two dining areas, are Grecian statues as well as other artifacts. No matter if you're dining in for lunch or dinner, you will always spot Jim and Jennie working at the restaurant too.

Tonight I decided on trying the Lamb Kabob. The lamb was tender and cooked with a little pink in the center, which is perfect for me. The meal is served with rice, Greek potatoes, dinner roll and your choice of soup or salad. The rice cooked to perfection, but had little taste. As for the Greek potatoes, they were delicious, as they were cooked with a little olive oil and herbs. I loved the salad with the Greek olive, feta cheese and homemade dressing. The dinner roll; however, I never saw. Randy ordered the calamari for an appetizer, which is served with pita bread and a garlic lemon butter dipping sauce. Jim and Jennie's calamari is always well-seasoned and cooked to perfection with light breading. In my opinion, this calamari is one of the best in Omaha!

After compiling the surveys from the other foodies the pop-we Dinner Club gives Jim and Jennie’s Greek Village a 3.34 star average on a scale of 1-5.
