The Return of Omaha's Favorite!

Certain things should remain a part of our food landscape.  What B&G Tasty Foods represents is more than a meal,  it is the memories we will never forget with the people that we love the most.

Let's take a trip down memory lane and discover the origins of this iconic establishment.

Our story begins with two visionary individuals, Ken Bliss and Gayle Gainsforth, whose friendship and passion for exceptional food brought them together. These enterprising souls were not content with just being coworkers in Fremont, Nebraska; they were destined for something greater.


In 1953, fate smiled upon Ken and Gayle when they stumbled upon an incredible opportunity—an Omaha drive-in that had temporarily closed its doors. Without hesitation, they seized the moment and decided to embark on an exciting culinary adventure. Thus, B & G Drive-In, affectionately known as B & G Tasty, was born.


Located just west of its original spot, this newly acquired establishment had a charm that was impossible to resist. Initially, customers were served by friendly car hops, adding a touch of nostalgia to the dining experience. However, as times changed and the business evolved, the car hops bid farewell, making way for a new chapter.


In 1973, B & G Tasty Foods found its home in the vibrant Beverly Hills Plaza. This relocation marked a significant milestone in the restaurant's history, ushering in a fresh era of dining. The move also brought about a change in the way customers were served, with a shift towards a more modern approach.


Now, let's talk about the real star of the show—the mouthwatering food that has captivated taste buds for decades. Ken and Gayle were passionate about preserving the original flavors that made B & G Tasty Foods so special. To this day, the recipes and menu items served in our restaurant remain faithful to the ones crafted back in 1953. Among our most renowned delicacies is the legendary BG loose meat sandwich, whose origins remain a delightful mystery.


As the years went by, B & G Tasty Foods became a cherished institution in Omaha. Locals and visitors alike flocked to experience the distinctive flavors and warm atmosphere that set our eatery apart. However, like all good things, the beloved Beverly Hills Plaza location eventually bid farewell after 66 years of culinary excellence in May of 2019.


But fear not, for this wasn't the end of our story. A new chapter awaited us, and it was bursting with excitement and opportunity. A group of passionate individuals stepped up to breathe new life into B & G Tasty Foods, recognizing its unwavering potential. With the Gretna Outlets as our new home, we embarked on a thrilling journey to introduce Omahans to a brand new era of incredible flavors and unforgettable dining experiences.


Today, as we continue to honor the rich heritage of B & G Tasty Foods, we invite you to join us in celebrating this extraordinary culinary legacy. Every bite you take carries the essence of our history, passed down from generation to generation. Together, let's embrace the joy of good food, great company, and the remarkable story that continues to unfold.


Welcome to B & G Tasty Foods—a true taste of tradition, reborn for a vibrant future.
