Saw this place as we drove by and thought we’d try it. The restaurant is reminiscent of a 60s drive in. The food and ice cream is very, very worth the price. The service is great. I will recommend this place to anyone.

Food is good. Higher on the prices. The Atmosphere is really cool with planes. Quick service too.

Holy crap they're expensive. Burger, steak fries, and drink was over $20. They charged me an extra buck to use my card, and when I asked for no ice they told me Soda is too expensive to do no ice drinks. The burger was bland and greasy, though the steak fries were nice. I liked the airplanes everywhere, but don't recommend this place for anything but the ambience.

Greg’s Restaurant is one of Lincoln’s best kept secrets.
Every burger that comes off of Greg’s grill is seasoned to savory perfection, and Patty and Lois will always hand it to you with the most genuine smile in town.
Despite all this, not many seem to know about the gem that is Greg’s. While I am grateful that I never have to wait in line for my delicious burger… It would be wrong to keep this secret to myself.
Show Greg’s some love. You won’t regret it!

It’s a little on the expensive side but the food is great, it’s worth every penny.

So shocked this place isn’t busy. The food was so fresh. The lady who took our order was super nice and sweet.
The woman at the counter was very nice, pleasant, kind, gentle, friendly, sweet, conversational, and polite.
When I first saw the price for the Onion rings ($5) I was slightly shocked, and just about turned around and walked out the door (I should have gone with my first instinct.). But what shocked me even more than that was the price of their Onion ring Dip ($2.50!!!!!).
The whole reason I came here was because I had googled the best onion rings in Lincoln, Nebraska, and this was one of the places that came up. And one person commented about the restaurant's reputation as having the best onion rings in town?????. And fully realizing you oftentimes get what you pay for, along with the fact that the amount they gave you might also go towards explaining and justifying the cost, I figured it might be something similar to and along the lines of the phenomenal Onion rings at Mama's Pizza, in Omaha, where the price of their excellent Onion rings is quite high, but they also give you a lottttt of them, in a big, long, rectangular box. Also, Mama's makes their Onion rings in-house and fresh.
So, was that the case here? Nooooooooooope. That was a very incorrect presumption for me to have made. (I really wish I had a picture of both, to show the vast difference in serving portions, for comparison.) I would liken the amount Greg's has to what one would typically see in a **kid's size portion** at a restaurant that also has a large and a medium size. Noooo joke, If you add all the small, medium, and regular sized onion rings together, they literally amount to 5 standard, typical sized onion rings, which is a frickin' dollar a ring!!!!! That's insaaaaane!!!! Given the price, that whas the biggest shock of all.
But, were they super fresh and made in-house, with the quality being so mind-blowingly phenomenal that I could overlook any or all of the above? Abbbbbbbbbsolutely Not. They came out of a chest freezer, in a plastic bag that looked like they are almost certainly Not made in-house.
I'm so thankful I didn't waste my money on the Onion ring dip. Judging by what I experienced with the Onion rings, themselves, I am guessing the onion ring dip comes in a typical *dinky sized* plastic ramaken, is probably only filled halfway, and that it would probably have next to, or literally no flavor.
How anyone thinks that these onion rings are anything special, or even remotely close to being worth the cost, is compleeeetely beyonnnnnd me. Under the currently jacked up prices in the U.S., from price gouging, a fair price for these onion rings would probably be about $2, not FIIIIIIIVE(!!!!!).
I can't help but feel completely insulted by the price they charge for those Onion rings. It leaves me feeling like Greg must have contempt for his customers, or that he takes them for fools.
Sadly, and unfortunately, this was my first and last time of ever being a customer at Greg's restaurant. I have a feeling Greg doesn't care, because he doesn't realize that he's lost what would have otherwise been literally thousands of dollars of business over the next few years.
From now on, I will be muuuuch more wary of reviews for specific menu items, on Google.
Oh, yes, and they also charge $0.75 for using a credit card, instead of maybe just being fair and charging the 3% that the card company charges them. So, unless the total cost of your purchase is over $25, they are actually **making** a small amount of money off of *you* for using a credit card. Absol

I haven’t been there in a long time kind of forgot about it because they don’t advertise. I got a double hamburger at 12:30 in the afternoon. It was ready very fast was not fresh cooked. In fact probably sitting in water and Greece. The meat was rubbery and tasted just a little bit strange.

Cant say for the atmosphere inside, but the drive thru is authentic for its theme. A couple of sweet elderly folks made our food. As we waited for our order we tried our drinks, mine was a vanilla shake and my friend had a root beer float, pretty generic and boring one would think. These two things were far from that, and I told the gal at the window this was the best vanilla shake I have ever had in 40ish years of life. She replied that it’s because they hand spin their ice cream, with real cream. Im blown away. I WILL be back. For sure I will.
