New American Restaurants in Lincoln, NE

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“We used Yes Chief for our Fire department banquet this weekend, everything from the food to the servers and setup was AMAZING. If you are in need of this type of service do yourself a favor and book them!!!“

“The Green Gateau is one of my favorite places in Lincoln. I have never been disappointed going here, they have great breakfast, lunch and dinner. I highly recommend the French connection, lobster bisque, and baked brie. They also have incredible coffee, wine and cocktails. It is usually fairly quiet, and easy to chat. And to top it all off the service is always phenomenal!“

“Loved the atmosphere, and the food was fantastic!!! Really hope to make it back again.“

“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!“

“Fleetwood is a must-stop for me when traveling through Lincoln. You can tell they take pride in everything they do, from their inviting atmosphere to their creative menu. I can't recommend them highly enough.“

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

“Wonderful food, great, inclusive atmosphere, friendly staff and great vibes. Will go again!“

“My husband and I stopped for dinner at Don and Millie's on 56th Street in Lincoln. The food, as always, was outstanding (they by far make the best cheeseburger in Lincoln...hand-formed beef patties with just the right amount of juiciness)....when we left, FOUR different employees acknowledged us. The worker sweeping the floor told us to have a great evening, and he thanked us for coming, the person working in the kitchen thanked us and told us to have a nice evening, the guy wiping tables thanked us and told us to come back, and the person at the order counter said goodbye and thanked us for coming. WOW! Good food and great service! You just don't find that kind of employee kindness and attention anymore, so Don and Millies now has a permanent customer with us!“

“You need to bring one to Overland Park Kansas. I don’t get to Nebraska very often. Love their Mushroom and Swiss Runza!!“

“Misty's Restaurant & Lounge is local landmark, a fantastic restaurant, a Nebraska Cornhusker tradition and a place to decompress, all rolled into one. Possessing a warm and welcoming ambiance and a friendly and attentive staff, Misty's provides for a relaxing, comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

Famous prime rib, all cuts of steak and classic seafood options are contained in a large and accommodating menu. Be sure to read the history of Misty's on the back cover of the menu. You are at something special to be appreciated. Well done to the ownership and staff at Misty's Restaurant & Lounge, world class and well done. KUDOS!!!!!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 41st anniversary on July 7 with the date night three course meal. The corn fritters and jalapeño honey dipping sauce, the schnitzel and the creme brulee were perfection on a plate, and the price for two was incredible. Marisol made the dinner very special. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Runza is a great restaurant. This little location is great for a take home meal. It service to the neighborhood is wonderful. They are trying to stay open with all the street work. Don't let the construction hold you back. Give them your business. During the warmer weather it is fun to enjoy the picnic tables.“

“Every time we have eaten at Carmela's Bistro it has been an enjoyable experience. Good food and friendly staff. Love the atmosphere.“

“I ordered the Swiss Mushroom Burger and French Fries via the drive-thru. Runza has the best fries! You can tell they change the oil in the fryer on a regular basis. The burger never tastes like it's been frozen and looks and tastes like real beef should. The staff were friendly and efficient and easy to understand when going through the drive-thru.“

“Love the breakfast burritos! And the Tex mex tator tods are one of the best in town!

****** PLEASE UPDATE YOUR SATURDAY HOURS I WAS THERE 6:45am BECAUSE I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SAYS YOUR OPEN AT 6am BUT ITS 7am the lady told me trough the drive tru mic! ********“

“They did make a mistake on my friends meal because the man at the register entered in the wrong sauce. But that happens, so no biggie. He apologized and promptly remade it. And all was well otherwise. Good food. And their workers were hustling diligently, not just moseying through it like some places.“

“My Mom wanted to go to Wings and Rings and she gets what she asks for! Started with the Appetizer Sampler. She loves Onion Rings like I do, the childrens love Mozzarella Sticks, and I do believe they have one of the Best Pretzel Bites in town!

Mom really enjoyed her Wings. She prefers them plain with something to dip on the side. My Veggie Burger and Side Salad were pretty good, I've had them before. I sub a garlic aioli and extra lettuce.

Little Guy wolfed down his Mini Corn Dogs and Fries. Medium sized child was stupid happy and said they were like Top 3 Chicken Tenders she's had. Kids Eat Free on Mondays!“

“Incredible food with a lot of delicious options. The staff were professional and showed great attention to detail. I have a gluten allergy and was assured they were taking this information seriously. Highly recommend this restaurant. I have brought several people to this place. Reasonably priced.“

“I’d rate 4.5 if i could.

Valentines dinner. Arrived unsure of what to expect since I don’t live in the area. Got seated quickly. Server was great! Food took quite some time to come out (30-45mins), even though there didn’t seem to really be a crowd. (maybe busy with take out orders?) Food was very good, got the Hobbes burger, Cooked perfect with a great taste. Fries were very good although I wish they were bigger instead of a ton of small fries. Overall good experience, just took some time to get the food.

There also wasn’t napkins at the tables which I thought was odd.

VERY GOOD PRICE. $15 for a great burger without added cost for fries is perfect.“

“Love this Wings & Rings! I only like the “flats” and you can order either all drums or flats with no up charge! They also have the best Sweet Thai Chili sauce💕. I order wings almost every Tuesday when they’re 40% off!“

“Delicious food! Busy night but we were seated quickly. Julie was our waitress and she brought by youngest a small cup of ice cream for dessert which was so sweet. They were out of forks but other than my 6 year old we didn’t mind. The reverse happy hour was great- prices were better than normal on many great rolls.“

“It was my first time trying the rice bowl. I added chicken, green peppers, and onions. They grill the ingredients together and then put it on top of the rice. It was good. I will be going a lot more. Can't believe I waited so long to try them. Oh, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
