Grace Pizza and Shakes Papillion

136 North Jefferson Street, Papillion, NE 68046

Yummy pizza restaurant in downtown Papillion Nebraska and one of Josie's family favorites. We love to sit at the bar; have a cocktail or wine; struggle on whether to order the Whipped Ricotta, Illegal Cheese Bread or Wagu Beef Meatball appetizer; torn between the Chicken Cielo or Sweet Perfection pizza; share any of the salads to cancel the calories; and always leave wishing we would have tried Beer Cheese Soup or a candied rimmed milk shake. For big groups you may want to order take out and walk over to Twisted Vine but walk in and check on the seating.

Runza Restaurant

202 North Washington Street, Papillion, NE 68046

Nebraska's staple fast food joint. Don't ask too many questions but just try it... "Cheese Runza, Frings, two sides of Ranch" and dip it all in.

Brownie's Bar & Grill

125 East 2nd Street, Papillion, NE 68046

We love to sit at the front corner of the bar, order a dirty martini, and enjoy the Thai Lahvosh or Escargot. Bigger parties are urged to make a reservation for dinner but lunch is usually easier for a drop in bite.

Located in the Blackstone District and big player in the redevelopment of the district. It is a must walk thru if you're in the area and love old architecture, speakeasy, and a couple restaurants.
