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.

Order: Onion rings
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.

The food was alright, cost me $17 for a cheeseburger, onion rings, and a pop. Got charged 75 cents to use a debit card. Drink refills cost which almost makes sense since the pop had a perfect mixture of syrup and carbonation, and was probably the most notable thing about the meal. Like to support small business but the prices need deflation and the fees got to go, makes the whole transaction seem petty and unappreciated.
Great food and service every time in a relaxing atmosphere

If you want some “old school” diner and food (which I’ve been craving for years and just couldn’t find the right place for it) then this is it!!! What shocked me was all the military and plane, jet stuff! Was not expecting that but made me love the place 100% more!!! Get the malt!!!

Went and got a “Cheeseburger Special” today. To my surprise it was just shy of $17 for a single cheeseburger deluxe special. I asked for a ranch and it was going to be another .80 There is no way a single burger meal should cost that much then want to charge more for sauce. You can go to runza (which is better) and get a double burger meal for almost $5 less and they will give you a ranch free. The burger was good. Nothing that I would rave about though. I suggest they get there prices in check if they want to remain in business
Great burgers and cupcakes!
Curly fries were so good.
