Gustatory. Historic iconic neighbourhood fried catfish.
Awesome breaded Carp dinner! I have thrown back more carp then I can count. Joe Tess Place did well with them. Highly recommended for anyone in the Omaha area!! Happy hour too so bonus savings!!!
Yummy. Fried chicken was yummy and a reasonable price. Will go there again.
This place is mainly known for its fried catfish. It may not look five-star but you know it's fresh.
A staple. Joe Tess is pretty awesome when you're in the mood for fish. The fish is fried up perfectly every time. It can get a little heavy in the stomach, but worth every bite. They also have a pick-up service that we have used a few times. The restaurant itself is unique, the decor is definitely something to be seen.
Fun and Different. Another fun locally owned restaurant that offers this otherwise boring town of chain restaurants something different
Great place to get some fried carp or catfish with friends and family. They do have fried chicken, salmon and grilled chicken also. Pretty pricey for food. Fried carp is good to order. I got the grilled chicken because the fish has too many bones for me to eat and pick out as I go. Grilled chicken was a bit on the dry side but ok. Came with 2 sides ( have maybe 6 sides to pick from). I did like the Cole slaw and we had fried shrimp appetizer which was good.
Great fried catfish! Mr. Dave suggested we try this Joe Tess fried catfish. Large size fish. Was cooked perfectly. Will be returning soon. If not tomorrow lol.
It was fantastic as always. My family has been going there since I was a child. Today we took my nephews and niece. The food was great as always as was the service. A landmark
Great place for fish. They have an interesting preparation for fried carp. Unique appetizers such as fried chicken gizzards. Pretty good selection of import and domestic beers.
Food is AWESOME, service couldn't be better. I actually got to eat and not get interrupted every 30 seconds. Ate the Walleye, you should too.
Joe Tess is one of my family favorites for decades. If you like fried or grilled fish. You will enjoy Joe Tess. The staff is friendly and helpful. Thank you Joe Tess for the hard work. Triple plus rating.
One of my favorite spots. I first went into that restaurant 60 years ago and it has gotten better and better and better
Great place for lunch, locally sourced fish you can't get any other place!
The dinner was wonderful! I'm very sad to report I confirmed they are closing this month due to supply issues. They are not ordering anything they run out of because they are closing, but even without the jacket fries, my 2 rib dinner with coleslaw was as always, absolutely delicious. If you have a chance in the next 10-12 days, go get a final meal from them. It was delicious but very bittersweet for me. A south omaha iconic restaurant will be closed soon. The staff was friendly as always. I will miss this place. Go while you can.
Outstanding food, their fish is delicious. Top notch service too. Kiewitt is always fun.

We have never tried this place before!The two of us had dinner at Joe Tess Place last night. My husband had the baked seasoned tilapia with a side of baked beans. I had baked unseasoned trout and I asked for a side of rice pilaf. The fish comes on a bed of soft rye bread, a side of unseasoned sliced baked potatoes some pickle slices and a salty hot sauce that I assume must be ment for the potatoes. I tried the sauce and it was not to my taste. My husband saw my face and decided not to try it. We agreed that dinner was good and the portions were very good. The two dinners were pricey, but it was fish so it will be pricey. We will be returning...Covid19 has altered has changed everything in our lives today and Joe Tess Place is no exception with drive up and carry out only, the menue has had to be limited so not everything is available, just ask at the drive up or carry out counter. The drive up was busy, please be patient. They do take cash and cards. This is a good local place for dinner.
We sure miss eating in the restaurant. A gun carrying security guard, brings your food out to your car in front of the restaurant takes your money. Food was excellent oh, but we really miss going inside sitting down to enjoy our dinner had to eat it in the parking lot as we were at a motel miles away and we didn't want to see before we got home. Please bring back the indoor restaurant thank you.
We used to love going to Joe Tess. Mom and I always get the carp ribs well-done. The carp is farm raised so no fishy after-taste. I must admit we were disappointed though. The potatoes were soggy and they forgot the baked beans. Friendly service gets an A+. I hope the dining room opens soon! I did ask if they have scheduled an opening date yet, and was told simply "No".
SAME great taste I remember ENJOYING in a dine-in environment, but with the current take out only option it was just as AMAZING at home. 2 pieces of their Famous Fish with DELICIOUS jacket fries and baked beans was VERY filling!!
I cannot wait to enjoy their dine-in option!!
