The SBH Review: Sand Point takes a tough order – seafood in Nebraska – and mostly pulls it off
When you live in the most landlocked state in the country, one of the rarest restaurants you see is the one focused on the upper northeast, where seafood – not beef – is king. Sand Point, which opened near 114th and Dodge in fall 2023, has taken a dive straight into the icy Atlantic and…

Review: At Everett’s, time, brine and custom sauces make the chicken wings stand out
It’s a few minutes after six on a Wednesday, and Everett’s — one of the top spots in the city where Omahans suggested I should try chicken wings — is packed. We scribble our name on the big chalkboard on the front wall and head next door to Brokedown Palace, the neighboring dive bar where…
