“BEST IN LINCOLN. Routine breakfast customer and never disappointed. Relaxing atmosphere with nostalgic decor and no blaring music or televisions nobody watches. Eaten all the breakfast places in Lincoln over the years, this is one of the best and the prices are very reasonable. Always busy so that should tell you something.“

Each juicy patty, nestled between perfectly toasted buns, is a culinary masterpiece that leaves you craving more. With its combination of mouthwatering burgers and top-notch service, Honest Abe's is a true gem for burger aficionados seeking an unforgettable dining outing.“

“This place is great. The menu has so many options to choose from. The service has always been absolutely wonderful. The restaurant has always been clean and the staff is great. I have been going her for years, It has never been a disappointment.“

“A fabulous local spot for breakfast or lunch with great people and friendly, efficient service. I always have a great breakfast of hashbrowns smothered with sausage gravy, topped with fried eggs and one (large) pancake with lots of fresh coffee. Irene has something lighter, Ha! Haven't had a giant cinnamon roll in a while so will have to do that again soon. We've had breakfast all over this country, Canada and Mexico, and although most good and many different, we always look forward to our return to Tina's in Lincoln, Nebraska!“

“I have not been to Crave since they moved from Pine Lake. I am really glad I finally made it to the new place.I was surprised it was not a sit down style restaurant and not go to the counter and order. They seem to have several items on the menu that were not there at the original place. I am not sure if the new place was always like this or not.The burgers are as good or even better than I remember. You get to choose your cook on the burger now and that is good. The waffle fries were great.Looking forward to going back sometime and trying some apps or desserts too.“

“Went out to dinner tonight at Toast. Plenty of people were at the restaurant but got seated as soon as we walked in. The host and the waitress were both very gracious. They have a variety of dishes from signature sandwiches, gourmet burgers and savory dinner entrees. We had the toast mac n cheese and the flat iron steak with green beans and mashed potato’s. The mac n cheese was on point and the flat iron steak was juicy and full of flavor. The cocktail Brandi had was called tipsy Rudolph (cherry vodka, chocolate liqueur and cream). So good she had to order two. Highly recommend.“

“Everything is perfect. The music is just a little loud for sensitive ears. The potato soup is the best along side with fries and a couple of chicken strips.Kid-friendliness: My 10 yo loves the atmosphere, fries and tall booths. If only she would try the meats, then I would be a super happy momma.“

“The best food ever. I highly recommend the Parmesan truffle fries for an appetizer. They are some of the best Parmesan truffle fries I've ever had! I usually end up getting the feta and berry salad with chicken. It's always so fresh & so filling. I usually end up with leftovers. The service is always great, I always have someone who is quick and efficient. If I place a to-go order it's ready when I get there.“

“The honey bbq wings are to die for. I had them grilled and they were by far the best wings I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere and our waitress was as in the same league with the wings. We’re definitely goin back.“

“I’ve been eating gyros and fries here for years. Always great quality. Decided to take my wife and she loved the other options they have. Decided to finally leave a review due to them returning $500 that my wife dropped when ordering. They checked their security cameras and returned it before we even noticed. Good food and honesty keeps me coming back.“

“This DQ has the best ice cream! The employees are friendly and the atmosphere is great“

“Amazing place, nice menu with good choices“

“Drove from Rhode Island to Colorado. And while in the Midwest I came across this place I remember reading about it and had to try it. I got a double deluxe with cheese curds and fries. And wow it was absolutely delicious. If you live near one or are driving by do yourself a favor and stop in. It lives up to the reputation :)“

“Cool place in the Haymarket. Spicy is legit spicy!I had the crawfish Alfredo and my buddy had the combo platter. Both were great!Service was just OK. We sat outside as it was nice, might have been a factor but it shouldn't have been!“

“Came here for the first time and it was everything I hoped for! Authentic ingredients, super delicious. Freshly prepared upon ordering.

“Staff was very nice and welcoming. The food was good, but I wouldn't recommend the Jamaica j*** wings. They were very messy, and I just wasn't a fan of the flavor. This is one of the few remaining bars and grills with a pool table... only 1 though.Kid-friendliness: Had a kids menu and music playing in the background was appropriate.Parking: Parking was fineWheelchair accessibility: Ground level“

“When you are packaging ToGo orders, you have to let the freshly fried food vent somehow. Folding and sealing the bag with a sticker will cause those fries to get soggy more quickly. I've been doing delivery for over 4 years. The best way to seal a paper bag that has fried food in it ... don't fold it. Just lay the sticker right over the top of the bag. Also, plastic bags help in transport but don't knot them so much you completely cut off air supply for the food.“

“Thalia and Zoe are lifesavers. We had a reservation for 20 that we made an hour ahead of time, and Thalia was the absolute best helping us out with booths. She is such a great worker and always had a smile on her face. Zoe came by to our 3 booths to always make sure our glasses were filled with alcohol, and they sure were because of her great service. This was our first time here, and we will definitely be back because of them!! Thank you girls❤️“

“Food is excellent and so is the service!“

“What I like about runza are your French fries onion rings your vanilla shakes and let not forget your famous onion ring dip yum yumParking: Plenty of room to parkWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room for wheelchairs I would know I'm handicapped and in an electric scooter“

“I like eating food at Runza, but order accuracy needs some work. In the last 4 trips, the order was wrong. But I check now before leaving. The store decor is not very comfortable. The seating leaves a lot to be desired. But as I started with, I do love their food, and they do a really good job of making it with consistency.“

“Food isn't gonna knock your socks off, but everyone can probably find something they like on a big menu. The wings are decent. I would ask them to cook them a little longer. Drink selection is pretty good and there's enough tables that you can usually find a seat.Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly“

“The food is amazing and the staff is really friendly. I definitely recommend the gyros and Greek fries!“

“Great service and crave-able food :)“

“The food is always amazing, and typically fairly quick, my kids looove this place so that's a win too. The service is always pretty good but I do think they might be understaffed. There's been a few times there's only 1 waiter and way too many tables for only one. So I don't hold that against them if it's a staffing issue. If it's poor planning then they need to work on that. I recommend the cheese fry's for the family to share with their burgers, they give you tons, and are my favorite thing on the menu.“

“Really good fresh food, made to order. Update: had the cod sandwich and it was as good as always. The food is hot and better than any other "fast food".Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking is right in front and level. Easy to roll into the building, no ramps or such. The only thing that would be nice would be automatic doors.“

“The ambience in here is great for a casual sit down dinneror watching some sports. The bathrooms are clean. The staff is friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. Oh and did I mention the beer? They have a great assortment of beers ranging from fruity to the hard stouts. I prefer the vanilla bean myself. I got a peanut butter and bacon burger. It could of used a little bit more peanut butter. But not going to complain. And they have sweet potato crinkle fries oh my goodness probably the best sweet potato fries I've had in a long long time. Kudos to Catalyst. Unfortunately I can't frequent here very often as I live in Omaha and this is in Lincoln but next time I'm in Lincoln, I will be going back to there. Note to self if you're gonna sit at the bar away from the area where the servers meet the bartenders just a little too much gossip to over hear“

“Wonderful service! We showed up on a Sunday afternoon (March 3rd) and announced that we were having a birthday gathering. The staff went above and beyond to make the occasion really festive for everyone. We so appreciated it!Kid-friendliness: Made the birthday wonderful!“

“We stayed at the Cornhusker hotel and visited the pub and grill twice. The first time was for appetizers and drinks. We had nachos and cheese curds. Someone in our party said the cheese curds were the best they’ve ever had. During our second visit, it was late at night and we had a few drinks. One of us wanted a hot chocolate with a shot of rum chata. We weren’t sure if the bar would make a hot chocolate but they did it for us! Would return!“

“Today we won a hockey championship and i couldn't think of a better place to celebrate the win than with some Freddie's custard! I want to thank Giana for the wonderful and fun experience as she had a great attitude to help us celebrate our big event! Thank you!“

“This was not at all what I expected when we came!! It's definitely got a local hang out place vibe more than your typical restaurant does. They have daily deals, which seem to be great pricing. The tots are delicious and plenteous! The spicy steak wrap is spicy!! The chipotle chicken wrap was yummy!“

“Friendly staff, the store was very clean, and a lot of space for movement. Service was fast and efficient.Vegetarian options: Veggie burger and other options.Parking: Parking in the area was easy today.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space, nice throwback decor. drinks for kids, pretty good selection of cold creamery products.?“

“We love Freddy’s ❤️ great food and great service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We decided to dine at Runza Restaurant on 1/7/23. We had great service and the food was great. As I was ordering in the drive thru, a car opened their doors and yelled “Hey Papi” zestily. I was immediately flustered and flabbergasted at the aggressive catcall that I missed the window which poorly placed and not well marked for drivers. I had to drive my car all the way around again. Didn’t love that.“

“Runza has certainly exceeded my expectations for a fast food restaurant. Dining at this location was my first experience with Runza, and certainly will not be the last. The onion rings were crispy and sweet. The blend of meat and cabbage, together with the unique flavour reminds me of the fabulous meat buns in Japan. Cannot wait to become their first customer outside Nebraska should they choose to venture in Texas some day!“

“Stopped here spur of the moment and my day was literally made!!! AMAZING FOOD BY AMAZING PEOPLE!!!! Check it out, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Great service and good food. Lunch companion raved about the hamburger made exactly to his order. I snitched a bite and agree it was delicious. For me, I got the last of the breakfast biscuits and gravy. I expected the biscuits to be tough because it was actually lunchtime. But they were tender and delicious. A pleasant first time experience.“

“If you want a place to go and feel comfortable and have a good time Ejs is it. The new owners and staff are great! The food is excellent! We just had the stadium nachos it has homemade Pico and homemade salsa. I HIGHLY recommend them. They are the bomb!!!!!“

“The chicken berry salad is good. Love the onion rings! Regular Runza, YUM! Some of the best fries in the city! Cookie ice cream sandwich! (No, I didn't eat all of this in one visit ?)Friendly staff. The man at the counter was helpful and had a good sense of humor.I put four stars on "Atmosphere" because I, myself, can't stand the minimalist, industrial look Runza went to.The prices are getting a bit ridiculous. Not paying $2+ for a small pop.But I'll still go as a treat to myself once in a while.Vegetarian options: There would be a few things available. I suggest calling the restaurant.Dietary restrictions: I suggest calling the restaurant for more information.Parking: We had gotten there just after the lunch rush.Kid-friendliness: Bring the kids!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, handicapped and disabled could navigate this restaurant.“

“This was the perfect stop while we let our Tesla charge. The bathrooms were clean, the staff were friendly, the food was good and SUPER affordable. I was very impressed with this place, I had never heard of Runza until today and I will happily return if I see one again.Parking: Plenty of parking, has Tesla chargers in the lot.“

“Good food, great ice cream. Staff seems overwhelmed at times. We ordered Sundays from there and waited for a while, wondering where they were. Turns out, they were made immediately, but no one communicated it. Our Sundays were melted to soup. The staff remade them, though, and apologized for it. That makes me go back there every time.“

“The biggest draw of this place is its location and its cheap beer, for sure. Their fries are also absolutely amazing; the seasoning appears to be a unique blend of salt, sugar and rosemary that is super tasty.For my entree I got the Nashville chicken sandwich. While it tasted pretty good, unfortunately the breading was super tough on the edges, and the chicken there was pretty dry. Felt like it had been on a warmer for a bit which was not great but at least it did taste pretty good! We also got the poutine which was a nice appetizer. Very tasty.“

“Isaac was great. Really makes the visit as good as he can. Always friendly!!! Keep up the good work Isaac!!“

“The food was delicious I would recommend going there again. The service was amazing but the pop machine was it working. The workers helped us, but it still didn't taste good. I takeoff one star I was there with my aunt it is expensive but it's good to eat“

“food was nice & hot! I didnt have to wait long for my food!“
