Discover a gem in the heart of Omaha at Crescent Moon, a bar and grill that seamlessly blends delicious food with a welcoming atmosphere. Situated at 3578 Farnam St, Omaha, NE 68131, this lively spot is not just a place to eat; it's a culinary experience steeped in the rich history of the city, particularly famed for its correlation to the original Reuben sandwich created at the nearby Blackstone Hotel.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the Blackstone Reuben. As one customer, Robert Green, vividly described, it’s “the best Reuben I've ever eaten.” Layered with in-house slow-roasted corned beef, a secret sauerkraut blend, and luscious Swiss cheese, all topped off with housemade 1000 island dressing and nestled between two slices of perfectly baked marble rye, this sandwich is more than just food; it's a celebration of Omaha's culinary heritage. Add to that the bustling bar scene where you can find a wonderful selection of cold beer, and you've got the perfect setting for a fantastic evening.

The menu at Crescent Moon offers a variety of mouthwatering options beyond the renowned Reuben. Try the Biscuit and Gravy Platter for a hearty breakfast, or indulge in the flavors of Chicken Fried Steak Platter. If you're feeling adventurous, the Breakfast Totchos—crispy tater tots smothered in a rich blend of toppings—are a must-try for brunch seekers. For those looking for a lighter snack, the Black Forest Ham Melt pairs beautifully with one of their many local beers on tap.

The ambiance at Crescent Moon is relaxed yet vibrant, making it an ideal hangout for both families and friends. Visitors have praised the inviting atmosphere, describing it as “laidback” and “welcoming,” while also noting the attentive service that ensures your glass is never empty. Ryan Antony, a devoted fan, highlights the outstanding service and consistent quality, stating, “Food is fantastic every time, and there are lots of great options on the menu.”

Crescent Moon is not merely a bar and grill; it’s a community cornerstone where good food and great people come together. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make it a point to stop by this charming establishment for a taste of one of Omaha’s most legendary sandwiches and a truly enjoyable dining experience.

Place is Terrific!!! Stopped in for dinner and got the famous Blackstone Reuben. Holy Moses this was the best Reuben I have ever eaten. Wife loved it as well. Super cool bar with cold beer and great atmosphere!!!

Decided to try this place for the history aspect. Seems like a chill sports bar with a wide tap selection. The Reuben: very saucy, loaded with meat and kraut. Overall it was good, but I had some textural issues with the way the beef was cut. I guess I've never had cubed beef on a sandwich, and now I know why. Certainly takes away from the experience. Chips and salsa as a side were as good as chips and salsa from a sports bar can be. Fries were crispy, well seasoned, and plentiful. This place was exactly what I needed it to be, and it was worth the try for the history-adjacent aspect.

One of the best Reuben sandwiches my wife and I have had in the last few years. As legend has it, the Reuben was created at a poker game in Omaha’s Blackstone Hotel. Reuben Kulakofsky was one of the group of poker players and came up with it and Crescent Moon follows the original recipe. Crescent Moon has a friendly staff and great dine-in atmosphere. Pay for parking is available a block behind the restaurant as well as limited free street parking.

Great place! Delicious food! It wasn’t very busy I believe due to the construction so be sure to show this business some love!

One of my favorite places in Omaha. Amazing beer selection, and always cold and fresh. Service is outstanding consistently (getting beer refilled within 30 seconds while it's busy). Food is fantastic every time and there are lots of great options on the menu. Will continue to come here on a regular basis.

At first, you’re going to think this is just some little dive bar, but that is not the vibe that hit you when you walk in. There were a lot of families in there, as well as locals who are just grabbing a beer after work. However, like us, there were many people there to try the Reuben sandwich. I don’t even like Reuben sandwiches, and this one was off-the-charts delicious. I will definitely eat here again when I return to Omaha. Our server was one of the nicest gals I’ve ever encountered. She told me all about the history of the place end of the sandwich. The bathrooms need some work as far as cleanliness, but that’s the only imperfection about the place.

Love this spot! Crescent Moon has such a great vibe—laid-back, welcoming, and full of character. The food is always solid (highly recommend the Reuben), and they’ve got a great selection of local brews on tap that makes it easy to try something new each time. Whether you’re hanging with friends or just want a chill place to grab a bite and a beer, this place hits the mark. Definitely one of my go-to favorites in Omaha.
