“This is a simply a great place. You will have a hard time finding better service or better beer in Lincoln. GREAT location in Haymarket, there's also a rooftop bar that's well worth the effort. Food options are limited, but the top-shelf sausages and pretzels means nobody need walk away hungry. We always stop here when we get back to Lincoln.“

Played Jenga, purchased some awesome art pieces. && the best part of it all, the bar tender (Kelsey? I think) took our leftover food and kept it for the homeless. What a kind soul.“

“Ate here for the first time with 2 friends and they loved their sandwiches. I had the Elote Queso which is a cheese/corn dip with chips, it was delicious and enough for two people! We also had the crème brûlée cheesecake, which was yummy, but as a crème brûlée connoisseur, I expected a sugary crunchy top and not strawberry sauce, just the caramel!!!“

“I wanted to take the burden of cooking off the hands of my DIL and Son and surprise them with dinner delivery last night. I ordered two different soups, Wisconsin Cheese and Chili with a couple of bread bowls. A French Dip sandwich to share along with a salad and two chocolate chip cookies. Scheduled delivery for 4:00. Door Dash delivery (Sara) was right on time. DIL and Son were pleasantly surprised by the delivery. They absolutely loved the entire meal!! The ease of ordering from out of town was seamless. Door Dash delivery was spot on a cold and blustery day. I would highly recommend Bison Witch! Great experience + great food = Return customers 👏👏“

“After a show at the Lied Center, we decided to go to Single Barrel for dinner. We started with the cornbread, which was delicious. I preferred the jalapeño jam, but the sour cream butter and caramelized honey were good as well. I got the honey marinaded pork chop, which was cooked well. It was a little over seasoned for my taste but still delicious. It came with asparagus and sour cream mashed potatoes. The asparagus was cooked perfectly, and the mashed potatoes were amazing. I have added a picture of my meal when it arrived tableside.

Overall, it was a great experience, and we look forward to our next visit.“

“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.“
