Razzy's

[Coyote]

Had lunch at Razzy's today after all the comments about it. I didn't realize that it has been here for over 35 years, maybe even closer to 50! Had their famous Some-A on Marbled Rye (from Rotella's) with their Cajun Sausage and Chicken (gumbo) Soup. It was great, maybe even better than great. Can't believe it has been so long since I have returned, especially since it is a local couple's place. You all have to try this place out. A perfect dive deli for sure!

Razzy's has always been my wildcard lunch.. if i can't think of anywhere I'd really like to go to I go to Razzy's never been disappointed once!

[Brad]

I haven't been there in a while, but it still looks the same! I need to get back up there.

I read on Next-door that the husband/father owner passed away last October. Covid didn't help either

That really is too bad..

When I worked in that area of town years ago, I used to really enjoy that place. Great deli sandwiches...

Ciao..LiO...Peace

Sorry to hear about the family, it was one of my favorite places, had I known...

That's a real big bummer. That was a staple of my childhood.

Yet, the Subway in the old KFC building drones on. With so many better chain stores to pick from, how does Subway survive?

Huge national chain resources/revenue..there are many small population communities whose only option for a take out sub is Subway..and Subway is typically everywhere a localized state or regional chain isn’t..

That’s basically a significant part of how Subway survives...

Used to be a time when your options were Subway, Blimpie, Little King, or Schlotsky. I think Omaha is down to one Blimpie. Schlotsky was a disappointment my last time there. Wasn't what I remember.

I can't recall the name of the sub place off 168th & center. Been gone for years. Larger place i think

Omaha is a 1 million population metro.. Basically every national sub sandwich chain is here.. Including Blimpies, Jersey Mike’s, Firehouse Subs etc etc..

You name it, they’re pretty much all here.. But in a small city like a York or Beatrice Nebraska, Subway is likely only game in town...

There was a Planet Sub near there circa 2007, but it closed. Planet Sub made a second attempt near 84th & Center a few years ago but it failed too.

We don't opt for sandwiches often, but when we do...

My wife loves Blimpie, so we trek over to the one in Millard periodically. I think there's one at the airport too.

I never cared for Schlotzsky's bread. It tastes like I'm eating a deli sandwich on a giant English muffin. It does however make for some tasty "pizzas." I like their BBQ Chicken & Jalapeno pizza.

I detest Subway, but they thrive for the reasons Omaha Cowboy mentioned. Every tiny town has two places to eat: A local bar/grill and a Subway. Also, they're a very cheap franchise to buy into. You can open a stripmall Subway for next to nothing. I used to have stats handy on their closure rate, but they're probably outdated by now anyway (IIRC, a shocking number of Subways fail every year but an equally shocking number open every year).

I've only tried it once, but I did like Penn Station. A huge plus is they make their own fries from scratch.

We also like Firehouse, but when they closed their location in Shops of Legacy it stopped being a convenient dining option for us.

I never got a chance to try Razzy's.

And that's a negative attribute???

When I first moved back to Omaha in the 80s, a friend recommended Schlotzsky's. I tried it and was hooked, mainly because of the bread.

As the saying goes, that's why there's chocolate and vanilla!

I feel the same way when I hear someone say they hate La Casa pizza, lol..

In any case, it is too bad we lost Razzy’s. Coyote called it a true “dive deli” and that is what it was. A gem of a place that was located on N 90th St for years. I regret today not going back there for even a weekend deli lunch grab the past 10 or so years.. Now it’s an opportunity lost...

Just passed Razzy's and something seems to be going on here. There was someone on the roof and there seemed to be new construction by the entrance. The Razzy's pylon sign was still in standing, are they making a return?

Unlikely that Razzys makes a return. The kids werent interested in taking over the family business.

I suspect that the sign is still there so whoever takes over the building can make use of it. If I understand Omaha zoning rules, if the sign was just taken down, it could not be replaced by a similar one.

Wonderful - I’m assuming this is another dispensary? Between these and car washes you’ll be able to be high in a clean car all over town!

Afraid so.

10 years ago the Payday Advance places were the bane of Omaha. It seems the CBD dispensories and car washes have now taken their place.
At some point everyone will be driving a spotlessly clean car and feeling no pain, so maybe the pendulum will swing back away from these businesses into lord knows what else.

YOu left out the short lifespan of the frozen yogurt shops.

[ChadJK]

My biggest annoyance with the dispensaries is how obnoxious they make them look. There's more lumens pouring out of the average dispensary/CBD shop than an NFL stadium during a night game. Get in and get out or you'll get a sunburn. Also, don't look directly at it or that pot leaf will be burned into your retina for a week.

[nativeomahan]

I know they are legal, and it’s a no harm, no foul issue for me. But yeah, some of the shops are very annoying to look at. The one that took over the Bank of the West location near 123rd and West Center comes specifically to mind.
