“I'm an RBT (Registered Behavior Technician). I work with autistic kids and families to help them learn life skills, emotion recognition and appropriate ways to respond to and manage emotions, and how to cope with stressors in daily life. I recently had a pipe burst in my basement and ruin a large collection of my board games I use with my clients. I reached out to one of the owners Sam and he made a large donation of used and duplicate board games he had to help me rebuild my collection. Not only a wonderful place to spend your time and money, but owners that care about their community and I'm extremely greatful. Thank you Sam!“

“only been there once, so far, definitely planning on return visits. We had breakfast, I had biscuits and gravy, covered the plate, only was able to eat half, had the rest the next morning. My wife had ham and cheese omelette, not chopped up ham, but slices. Again covered the plate, she had the same problem, if you call good leftovers a problem. Also had a cinnamon roll, you guessed it, covered the 10.5 inch plate. Everything was homemade. Love the small environment. limited seating. if I had three hands, I'd give them, three thumbs up 👍👍👍.“

“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.“

“We made reservations for 10am for a party of 6. There was so many great menu options it was hard to choose but everything we had was delicious and big portions. On top of that the waitress was super friendly, the atmosphere was fantastic and very reasonably priced. We will definitely make a point to eat here again when we visit Lincoln.“

“I really don’t like writing but I’m visiting Lincoln, NE and I have happy tears and want to make sure you all get the opportunity to try this restaurant! Art & Soul is one of my FAVORITE places I’ve ever eaten!!! Unique food, healthy and fresh, decor was clean and modern, but warm and inviting at the same time. It’s family owned - in fact the whole family works there and still enjoys each other’s company outside of work 🙂. They design the decor, menu’s, and strategies as a family and they have definitely succeeded! To top off all the delicious food, my server and everyone who worked there had enthusiasm, smiles, personable, and genuine! In fact, another customer near me just stood up to leave, shook his server’s hand and said “Excellent service sir!” For the food….. This French toast is the best and most unique I’ve ever had! It’s covered in corn flakes with a cream cheese, strawberry, jalapeño filling! A little sweetness with a little heat - beautifully balanced flavors, unique, and it’s so perfect! I also got the Benedict Hammy. Excellent! I’ve been searching for the perfect holladaise sauce for 13 years and I finally found it! The sauce actually has flavor- it has just the right amount of lemon in it but not too much! Also, the consistency wasn’t too thin or too thick - it was perfect! The candied ham added the perfect amount of flavor but didn’t overpower. The egg was cooked perfectly as well - not too runny and not overcooked! The pita gravy nachos!!!! So unique and delicious! The gravy was loaded with flavor - but didn’t taste like I was eating straight up sausage. Wow! The latte was delicious! I got the Snickerdoodle Butternut Latte and it was perfect! It didn’t taste burnt or watered down. The Herbal Infused lemonade was amazing! (Mint, thyme, rosemary, dill, and lavender) I could actually taste the herbs! Also, a lot of time lemonade tastes water down or too sweet - not this one! Perfect in every way! I would say this place is perfection! Thank you for this unforgettable experience Art & Soul! I’ll be back!!!!!“

“Got the wrong salad. After getting the rt one, I didnt realize a cobb salad was the dandelion leaves etc. I thought cobb salads were iceberg lettuce. Friend found some very old wilted lettuce in his salad. Disappointed that the sesame Asian salad is no longer available . This location is usually better than this!“

“Love this place! Some days I literally wake up thinking about a certain item (I have a few regulars I love) and find myself driving that direction…it’s that good! The only place in town I can always trust for a 100% clean, healthy menu!“

“A great place to relax and work!“

“We hadn’t been to Stauffer’s since before Covid. A friend told me the Honest Abe’s had boughten it so we decided to try it for lunch yesterday and everything was delicious! The rolls and biscuits were homemade. I had turkey dinner and it was real roast turkey, not deli meat. We had pie, too, and it was so good. The server was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be eating there often!“

“We have enjoyed dining at Bethany Coffee Shop/Cook’s Cafe for many years! Best breakfast and service in town! Mick and Marge“

“Had two good sized catering orders today. Appreciated the service and everything looked delicious. Great job!“

“On a Saturday at noon, this location was quite busy. Friendly staff dealt with an angry customer in front of me in a professional and respectful manner, plus made her food all over again. The cashier was friendly and took my order quickly. I had to wait about 25 minutes for my single order, but to be expected with the number of customers waiting ahead of me as well as all the order-ahead customers jetting in to pick up. Positive experience overall.“
