Access Bank (Former Amato's Lot)
Access Bank (Former Amato's Lot) 67th and Center
Tried out another Dive today at Amato's. The place is a lot smaller that I expected, although the east side looks like it is rarely used except for overflow. Tried the Mistake Omelet and it was good for what it is. I'd have to try something else to really decide what I think of this place.

Amato's
They are getting a liquor license and expanding hours when Baxter Arena opens.

Re: Amato's
Wonder who threw enough money at them for the land?
Re: Amato's
True. It is a prime spot in the aksarben area. Do you all think it will continue as a restaurant? Or is it going down for additional development?ProgKingHughesker wrote: โMon Jun 03, 2019 6:48 pm Wonder who threw enough money at them for the land?

Too small of a lot for development, unless the could grab Rainbow Recording, which would take a lot more money..ita wrote: โMon Jun 03, 2019 8:57 pmTrue. It is a prime spot in the aksarben area.

Re: Amato's
Iโve had the sense the place never quite had the same โvibeโ after Mr. Amato passed..
For whatever their reason, Iโm sad to see another local Omaha spot Iโve grown up with close its doors...
Ciao..LiO...Peace

True. I read about the rainbow recording studio. The owner is not going to sell. It's a neat establishment.Coyote wrote: โMon Jun 03, 2019 9:32 pmToo small of a lot for development, unless the could grab Rainbow Recording, which would take a lot more money..ita wrote: โMon Jun 03, 2019 8:57 pmTrue.

Re: Amato's
Plenty of room there. Last I heard it will be scraped and a current Omaha business will be building an additional location on that lot.

Re: Amato's
Feels like the size of a lot where either fast food or a small bar and grill type place would go in. Not enough room for much else.
Re: Amato's
They could always build a supertall skyscraper, duh

Scooter's drivethru? The closest one is a whole block away, they need to hop on that spot!
More seriously, wonder if Crane will move from down at 60th?

Re: Amato's
I've never eaten at any of these three traditional Omaha restaurants that are closing nowadays -- including this one. I feel like I missed out.
I can get pushed out because I'm "too much" for some. Then, an observer of me comes suddenly swooping in to "fill my shoes." People are always more accepting of the new one, because their feathers aren't truly ruffled by them. (Yawn) I can count on it every time.

Re: Amato's
We once ate at Amatoโs, and were given clearly dirty silverware. The fork had dried egg or something stuck between the tines. When it was brought to the attention of our waitress she took the fork, wrapped her blouse around it and rubbed it dry, then handed it back to us.
We never returned.
Thereโs kitschy, then thereโs disgusting. Amatoโs never learned the difference.

Re: Amato's
Not surprising. That is a โhotโ Aksarben Village area property location. Iโd imagine a new business will pop in there rather quickly...

Re: Amato's
I was going to speculate that if it was quick and fast, Amigos has been expanding their footprint in Omaha the last several years and while not โsexyโ it would be a great spot for them to land..Greg S wrote: โTue Jul 16, 2019 12:09 pmYeah small property but fantastic location.

Re: Access Bank (Former Amato's Lot)
At one time, that area was rather slow. The taco bell and McDonald's were both low volume stores. If only they could have foreseen 20 years into the future.

Where was the Taco Bell I can't picture it. Was McDonald's where Jimi D's is?
Re: Access Bank (Former Amato's Lot)
McDonald's was 63rd & Center, taco bell a few parcels east of Amatos.
Re: Access Bank (Former Amato's Lot)
It's amazing how the market shifts and changes. When I worked at Taco Bell in the early 1990s the two busiest stores in the region/market/district/whatever were Galvin Road in Bellevue and West Broadway in Council Bluffs. There's probably almost twice as many TBs in the area as there was back then (though the population has not doubled since then).
