Restaurants in Lincoln

“the food was absolutely delicious and I love seeing a pillar of the downtown, the father of the owner, who has always been kind to me over the years of serving our community. thank yoooou!!”

“Food is amazing. Don't listen to the cry babies who got their feeling hurt by a post.”

“First visit from Omaha, and everything was delicious. We had beef kabobs, chicken kabobs, chicken tikka,and chicken biryani, along with some baba ganoush. Friendly help and wonderful food, so we hope to be back next time we're in Lincoln.”

“Tasty, fresh meats and veggies, but needs a toaster oven to be truly competitive with more than just JJs.”

“My boyfriend and I stopped into Canyon Joe’s on Thursday, and I swear this is the best BBQ in the entire state of Nebraska. We both got the two‑meat platter with brisket and burnt ends, plus mac and cheese and cornbread casserole — every single thing was incredible. You can taste the quality and care in every bite.I also want to shout out Dawson, the young man working the counter. He was so kind, respectful, and genuinely great at customer service. People like him make the whole experience even better.And listen… that banana pudding? Absolute chef’s kiss.If you haven’t been to Canyon Joe’s yet, go. 10/10 recommend.”

“Tried it today on a whim and seriously was the best!! Hands down the best chicken schwarma in Lincoln and their Baba Ganoush is awesome!! highly recommend!!!”

“they are so kind and friendly. food and drinks are second to none!!!”

“we walked in this afternoon, I looked at my husband and asked what the smell was, it was musty and gross. the fans were blowing off of the fish, not to be graphic but it literally smelled like a used pad. Super disappointed because we usually love this place, probably won't ever be back.”

“this restaurant is awesome. great food, very reasonably priced and a super friendly and attentive staff”

“Gas station food but up a level. Cheesesteak was excellent. Fries crispy.
Nothing fancy for seating or asthetics but that's not why you're there”

“I am not vegetarian but I was in those 'hungry but now I kind of dont feel great because I'm hungry so nothing sounds good moods.' I decided to try it for the first time. I ordered the curry bowl. It was well prepared and tasty. I will be returning to try other offerings for sure. It has kind of a hipster coffee shop type of feel without actually being a hipster coffee shop. Do recommend giving it a shot.”

“So so good, for someone who know nothing about this…I randomly picked and it was amazing.”

“Great food, very very nice people! Definitely try the combo platters if you don't know what to get and want to try a little bit of everything. The meat combo is plenty of food for 2.”

“This is my favorite food in all of Lincoln. I've had almost everything on the menu and I have enjoyed every dish equally. Amazing!”

“Great drinks and great service! Highly recommend this place!”

“My wife and Iate here last night for her birthday. I had made reservations ahead so wait time wasn't an issue. We absolutely loved the atmosphere. My wife ordered the shrimp & lobster ravioli while I had the tortellini ala vodka with chicken & sausage. Our food and the homemade rolls and olive oil were delicious. To top off the night our waiter Andi was absolutely fantastic. We live an hour away but this will definitely be a staple when we're in town.”

“Well Read Women Book Club had a amazing time with food for everyone's pallet. The staff the Chef went out of their way . The food is so good and the atmosphere fits the fun.”

“I’ve eaten Chinese food all over this country.Never better than Chopsticks Lincoln.Service absolutely superior.For a small operation they get customers served promptly.The staff are courteous and helpful in taking orders and delivering meals.Hard to imagine how they handle it with such an extensive menu.Cleaner than almost every restaurant I’ve been to. Get your meal here ,you won’t be disappointed.”

“My only concern about Casa as I see a woman who is just standing and watching everyone around her work hard. She doesn’t help wait staff or clear tables!! She just stands there can I have her job please I am available”

“Our new family favorite!!! Spectacular food!! Amazing Service!! Highly recommended!!”

“I LLLLOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE this place. The dumplings are so delicious and general tso chicken is to die for. 1st time having a martini and it was perfect!”

“We had a lovely dining experience at this restaurant. The food was exceptional. The Lobster Linguine was enjoyed by several of us. The salad was fresh and tasty. Great service.”

“This place is a total breath of fresh air! I hardly ever go out any more because prices are always high and food is disappointing. Went to Piedmont Bistro today with a friend and honestly we couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. 10/10!! also very nice servers.”

“Great food”

“Amazing food, service, desserts. The menu is always changing so each visit is different. The Sunday brunch has some wonderful dishes, don’t pass up the breakfast burrito!”

“The food is fabulous and the staff is amazing. Great service from the hostess, servers and all the way up to the general manager. we will definitely be back many more times.”

“I can’t even begin to explain how happy I was with our recent visit to Momo. Our waitress, Gracie, was so over the top phenomenal. So kind, soft, and informative. Me and my boyfriend had our first date at Momo back in ‘21 and we are moving to Houston on Wednesday. So it only felt right to finish up our NE chapter where it began. The food was INCREDIBLE. We even sent compliments to the chef. My boyfriend is a huge foodie with a background in culinary and rates his pork ribeye one of the best meals he’s EVER had. I will always be so happy and appreciative of our trips to Momo. Thank you for helping close our chapter here. Gracie is AMAZING! 10/10 customer service and humanity.”

“Went to lunch with my family and some friends on a Sunday afternoon. Manager was quick to accommodate our group as there were only smaller tables available at the time. He and his staff were very friendly with us, the food was great, and I would recommend this place to anyone. It's great to have a place with Keno that is stylish, comfortable atmosphere (for all members of the family) with a very friendly staff to visit on a regular basis. We will be regulars here soon.”

“The atmosphere was prestige. The portions served were just the right amount of food. Staff was friendly and prompt. We will definitely be back.”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“Love my Shrimp and Crab burrito! love my D'Leon's!!”

“Brittany was great! Our order was correct and hot on delivery.”

“Best customer service! And best milkshakes 🥰 Staff is friendly and kind always love coming here! Best McDonald’s in Lincoln!”

“Quite disappointing. Was there last night about nine p m I ordered a fajita's plate, some potato things, cyto cheese and an extra tortilla.Tell me why it cost the same about for a very small cup of cheese that any other place in nebraska would have cost mayne 75 cents as well the getting charged $3.17 for a Tortilla. $3.17 for a cyto Nacho cheese, and the side of potatoes is only $4. It makes no sense. This is outrageous unacceptable. The meat was very bland as well as way overcooked. There's a waste of money we'll never be back”

“This McDonald's beats the one at 11th and cornhusker highway WITHOUT a doubt. I have made this my daily breakfast spot because not only are the staff amazing but the food is literally ALWAYS fresh when I go in.”

“I love the decorations for the season. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. I made a mistake ordering my food and told them I forgot something and they fixed it for me. This place has a really good feeling vibe. My kids love it here too”

“Atmosphere is relaxing. When we got there the chef came out and told us about the specials. The servers were attentive and the food was delicious.

Overall it is a pricier place and you have to have a reservation. But it's definitely worth going

There were a couple of oddities when we were there. There was no music playing in the background, which in turn made everything very echoey. I'm not sure if that's how it usually is there or not but it did add a weirdness to our experience. But still 5 out of 5 and highly recommended”

“Wow! Awesome art, great Chai latte light on ice, scrumptious muffins blueberry,apple and chocolate chip and helpful baristas..definitely a place to go hangout inside or outside...”

“Excellent vegan comfort food! Not just for vegans and vegetarians! 😍”

“Wow. In Lincoln for the 2025 SCCA Solo Nationals, and wanted to give a shout out for some of the best birria and elote we've ever had. Worth a trip downtown for takeout or eat in. Absolutely yummy. 10 out of 10.”

“Eat here often. Food is very good. Service wonderful. We all love the place!”

“The hot beet sandwich was the worst meal I ever had there. The potatoes were hard, dry, and cold, the beef was good and gravy but the whole meal was cold. I've had really good hot beer sandwich there before & it was delicious but today something was off. I was very disappointed.”

“Very good food. Reasonable prices.”

“best bang for your buck food with amazing quality”

“Much love from Manhattan, KS! Retired Nebraska National Guard, here, and I’d stop by every time I stayed in Lincoln!”

“Absolutely top notch experience. 10/10. 5 stars. 100%

Chicken is delicious, sides are amazing, tea is perfect. Prices are frankly very reasonable. Not sure why I waited so long to try, but I will be here 1 x per week at least moving forward.”

“Great Place with Great Food and Great ownership and staff!”

“let me start by saying i am disappointed in how high-calorie a crumbl cookie is. you need to stretch the cookie out over at least two days to even consider treating yourself— not to mention the cost also warrants a multi day treat.

however, i must applaud this location for their friendliness and customer service, and delicious cookies that live up to the hype and quality we have come to know and love.”

“Our food was delicious. There was a great variety of foods, each distinctly and carefully seasoned Alias, the manager, explained that fresh ingredients are prepared every day. (No foods are refrigerated for another day.) The restaurant welcomes individuals and groups at tables and in a special area for reclining meals. In all respects, this restaurant serves its customers excellent food in congenial surroundings.”

“Lived in Lincoln from 1970-1988. Zesto's hot fudge sundaes were consistently a highlight. We were back in town for a visit and I was tickled to find out they are STILL as great as ever! Service by Ella was fine, and still lots of lovely shade to relax in while enjoying our treats !”

“Great place for coffee and live music”

“The staff is like family, the place is where you go to relax and enjoy time with your friends. .”

“A Place Where Kindness and Resilience Shine For anyone who reads this… they need our help. A stroke 3 months ago and back to work! Because “I can’t be homeless” please reach out for questions”

“My wife and I happened in to the Omaha Lounge location as we traveled the country using the US cider map as our guide. We LOVED every thing about Saro Cider. The ciders were amazing and distinct. I have had thousands of ciders and these ciders were hands down some of the best. And the fresh made hummus was so good I think i had a spiritual moment. We took many ciders to go but will definitely be ordering some online. Maybe you can find a northeast US distributor!”

“Best pizza, salads, service in Lincoln! Maybe in all of Nebraska! I’ve been coming here since 2016 and this place has never let me down! 💯 recommend!”

“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.”

“Best pho 🍜 in Lincoln hands down! The real deal no corners cut!”

“It was fast and friendly service. The food was amazing!!!”

“I love the space, and Diana is amaziiiiing!!!”

“I found myself in Lincoln Nebraska at the end of a long day recently. I was parked on the side of the street and looked around to see where I could eat before a 3 hour drive to my next destination when I saw Honest Abe's burgers just across the street from where I was parked. Of COURSE I had to go try it and I was not disappointed. My burger and fries were fresh and delicious and the ladies working there were friendly. The signs, artwork, and general decor were fun - especially to me!”

“At some point I decide to pay what it costs to get a pizza that I used to get more often. It's the large stuffed crust Chicago style pizza so you can also justify spending more because it's going to give me at least 4 meals. I hope I can share a picture of what it looks like but it came out great and after first meal I still have 6 pieces left.”

“I've been missing out for so long!!! such great tastes and everyone in our group raved about their choices! yummy! we will be back....a lot! please go give them a try, you won't be disappointed!”

“Best Burritos 🌯 in town, basically 2lb burrito for a fair price, Bilingual friendly staff!”

“love the pho, love the bubble tea, love the spring rolls! love the staff! great food great atmosphere!”

“perfect London fog, great donuts and cozy atmosphere”

“I always have such a great experience. The food is consistently good and quick, but what really makes it stand out is the staff.

Jayden is absolutely fantastic. Every single time I come in, he has the biggest, most genuine smile on his face. It really brightens up the whole place! You can tell he is a true team player too, always helping out wherever needed and making sure everything runs smoothly. It's refreshing to see someone so dedicated and positive.

It's employees like Jayden that makes me choose Runza over other options. Keep up the amazing work! It does not go unnoticed!”

“Love this place! Great customer service! LOVE the dumplings, deserts & the variety of snack options!”

“Wednesday night concert series are the best!”

“This was my family’s first time visiting this restaurant. We weren’t expecting much, boy was I wrong! It has a cozy warm atmosphere, very family friendly, and EXCELLENT food. The service was excellent as well. We don’t go to Italian restaurants generally, but this one deserves to be on our list of favorites.”

“Best spring rolls I’ve ever had!”

“I'm not a coffee snob, I usually buy the cheapest store brands and then have to add so much it really isn't coffee. I decided to buy some ground coffee from TCS and was I ever surprised. It is wonderful. I could tell the difference immediately. I just had to add a tablespoon of cream and nothing else. Drinking this coffee is a treat.”

“We had Super Taco cater my husband‘s Retirement Party & it was a huge success!!! Everyone loved their food & there was definitely plenty for the whole group with even extra for leftovers!!! The planning process was wonderful as they were so helpful with the menu selection, giving us samples to try along the way & assisting us in knowing how much to order. The food pick up went without a hitch & it was so easy to get everything laid out & ready to serve up to our guests. Thank you Super Taco for a wonderful & delicious celebration.”

“Amazing food, everything on the menu is a treat and surprising varieties of typical drinks like flavored mules. Seating can be a little tight when busy but there's patio seating if needed. Service was extremely fast, food was in the blink of an eye, and my female friend was convinced the waitress wanted my number but I'm a gentleman.”

“very good”

“Great drinks and great service! Highly recommend this place!”

“The atmosphere especially is so fun and cozy and makes you feel like everyone belongs. It so so fun to explore and get homeade ice cream right next to this cafe from ivanna cone. This is also right in the center of the haymarket so you aren't ever a far walk from it.”

“was in the other night and had kadyn has my bartender , absolutely outstanding service loved how you could crack a joke with him !! didn't have to wait long for my drinks at all , definitely will be coming back”

“This is a great FS location. The employees were super friendly, our food came out yummy, hot and fast and the location was clean. Will definitely stop at this location again!”

“Very good food. Reasonable prices.”

“Love this place for years. Whenever I'm in town, I always stop by to take food back home with me. Garlic chicken and sesame tofu are the BEST!!!”

“I phoned a week before the date we wanted to make reservation. Trevor was very nice and said I could reserve a long table for up to 15 guests. I verified number of guests and called a couple days before arriving on the 24th to confirm the number attending. We were very impressed with Trevor and the quality of food was outstanding.. I had the beer macaroni and cheese and loved it. A couple people had Rueben's and were equally impressed. Burgers and chicken strips were large. I was impressed with nice side salad. The salmon was beautifully plated too. Highly recommend coming to the Mettle Grill. You will not be disappointed The only downside was the chairs were very heavy and if you put gliders on chair legs it would make it easier for an older group to move the chairs. Trevor was very pleasant and efficient. Will definitely return.”

“My only concern about Casa as I see a woman who is just standing and watching everyone around her work hard. She doesn’t help wait staff or clear tables!! She just stands there can I have her job please I am available”

“Walnut Shrimp was the best shrimp dish I have ever eaten. Coconut rice was the perfect compliment. Wait time at lunch was reasonable since each meal is cooked fresh. Over all place is small but comfortable and clean with polite wait staff. Lots of unique offerings on menu.”

“amazing!! was very windy and cold, brought our food to the car where we were sitting!! outstanding customer service!!”

“We hosted a surprise retirement open house at Leighton's Pub on September 26th and had a fantastic event! Payton was wonderful to work with from the first phone call to paying the invoice. She was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful during all stages of planning our event. Our servers Maddie and Alex were wonderful as well and so attentive. The food was very good and the presentation was perfect. The party room provided great ambiance for our guests. I highly recommend Leighton's Pub and their staff for future events you may be planning.”

“The interior of Sakura is absolutely beautiful, elegant, modern, and welcoming with a calming atmosphere that makes you want to linger. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly, providing excellent service from start to finish.

The sake selection is superb. I highly recommend the Juneau Ginjo sake.

Unfortunately, the food portions were noticeably smaller than expected which was a bit disappointing. The flavors were solid, but I left still feeling a little hungry. Great for a nice date night or special occasion if you're not ravenous, but maybe not ideal for a big appetite. I'd still return for the ambiance and service!”

We were told to leave a bad review if he didn’t like the drink, it was something dealing with brunette and toasted marshmallow. He absolutely loved it and wanted to make sure the gentleman found out.”

“Wonderful coffee and even better people!! Andrew, Julia, Karli and Jasmine are always amazing and friendly and so fun to talk to! They are the best part of my day!”
