I love this place. Really fun as a concert venue. Cool choices in decor and music playing on the house stereo, and the bar is a good place to watch a game. The food on the regular menu is delicious (get the polenta under your meatballs, for serious) and the specials have always been good in my experience. I also like the house made lemonade.
Tried Blackstone Meatball with a Bachelor party and had an excellent time! The food was phenomenal and I loved getting the flight of meatballs. The bar manager Joe and our server Andy made us feel right at home. I will definitely be back and recommend to others!
Really enjoyed our dinner here. They have a good selection of drinks and a great menu that focuses around meatballs! Typical modern restaurant with corresponding prices, but I can't complain. Will be back.
I had an amazing experience @ Blackstone meatball. Their vegetarian options were amazing and their cocktails were phenomenal. The server was friendly, attentive, and mindful. My boyfriend got the bacon wrapped meatloaf and loved it!! I got the veggie meatball with risotto and pesto- it was delicious!
Overall, I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for yummy, savory, filling food.
I tried the meatball sampler platter, an excellent choice as I got to try 5 sauces and 5 types of meatballs! The veggie ball with basil pesto was my favorite, the standard beef and marinara being a close second.
I also got pineapple upside down bread pudding, delicious but also an absolute brick of a dessert in the stomach 😆 sharing it might be wise.
Truly devastated that they’ve added fried shrimp to the menu. This has been my favorite restaurant for years, and I’d eat here often. Recently they added fried shrimp which had limited my choices, including some of my favorites. So unfortunately I don’t eat here as often anymore.
HOWEVER, this is a fantastic restaurant and I can’t dock them points because of a problem that is my own. If you don’t have a shellfish allergy, enjoy the fried goodies for me. And if you do, then you can still enjoy the best meatball sub you’ll ever have.
For now I’ll just keep secretly hoping that the shrimp isn’t a popular choice so they eventually take it off the menu.
The baked pasta was out of this world (no photo because we ate it so fast). The kids grilled cheese was also one of the best grilles cheese I have tried anywhere. We went with the sampler platter with all 5 meatballs (can't go wrong with this if you want to try everything on the menu). This place atmosphere is that of a big city. I must try for everyone.
We were in Omaha for vacation. The food was excellent and the portions were generous. Thea, our server, was exceptionally helpful and gracious. She gave us some sightseeing suggestions that we ended up loving. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed watching all the activity. If you’re in Omaha, Blackstone Meatball should be on your list.

Delicious!! The Korean meatball with the spicy sauce was so good!! My second favorite was the traditional meatball and sauce. Brussel sprouts were fresh and flavorful. The buratta salad also pictured. Service was friendly and helpful!!

The happy hour pricing is what makes this a 5 star rating as there is definately good value here.
Service was generally good and friendly.
We had the happy hour appetizers. Everything was 5 instead of 9, so for 35 instead of 63.
The food we ordered:
Fried cheese tortellini 3 stars
Kinda bland for me
Bruschetta 4 stars
A nice version of it. The topping was a bit cold
Stuffed mushroom bread 5 stars
Delicious. One of the best appetizers
House rings 3 stars
Some of them were over fried. The onions inside were a bit mushy and the batter itself, though crispy didn't have much flavor. There are sauces to dip it in however, ranch and ketchup to make up for it, but overall not something I would re order.
Garlic cheese bread 3.5 stars
It was fine but we would much rather have the stuffed mushroom. The cheese on that was better for me.
Bacon wrapped jalapenos 5 stars
Very well balanced, would re order.

We ordered 3:
Creamy cauliflower boudin sausage el Diablo sauce
Roasted vegetables romesco pork sundried tomato pesto
Especially which was bulgogi with sesame glaze and spicy sauteed vegetables
I liked the creamy cauliflower, the romesco pork meatball and the El Diablo sauce
The roasted vegetables said it was supposed to have rainbow carrots but it was just regular orange carrots.
I wasn't a fan of the bulgogi special with the sesame glaze. I think it was the sauce I didn't like, not the bulgogi meatball.
The sun-dried tomato pesto was fine, but a bit salty for me.
For 16 though I feel hesitant to order the cauliflower instead of sitting like the gnocchi or the risotto. The price point is a bit high for a roasted vegetable.
Parking is Blackstone parking, however they do have a small private lot in the back of the building
The atmosphere is chill and the servers are kind. The food is good, lot of flavor packed in small punches. We went in the late afternoon on a Saturday so they weren't too busy and we were seated fast.
Love that they have a sampler option for first timers who aren't sure what to get, it let me try some of all the options.
So here's the deal with this joint. It vibes. It's loud. But the servers speak too softly. The Blackstone location is nice. For a place called the meatball, they should have been better. The saving grace for this place was the fried burrata appetizer. You must get it.
