“we walked in this afternoon, I looked at my husband and asked what the smell was, it was musty and gross. the fans were blowing off of the fish, not to be graphic but it literally smelled like a used pad. Super disappointed because we usually love this place, probably won't ever be back.“

“Much love from Manhattan, KS! Retired Nebraska National Guard, here, and I’d stop by every time I stayed in Lincoln!“

“I’ve eaten Chinese food all over this country.Never better than Chopsticks Lincoln.Service absolutely superior.For a small operation they get customers served promptly.The staff are courteous and helpful in taking orders and delivering meals.Hard to imagine how they handle it with such an extensive menu.Cleaner than almost every restaurant I’ve been to. Get your meal here ,you won’t be disappointed.“

“I can’t even begin to explain how happy I was with our recent visit to Momo. Our waitress, Gracie, was so over the top phenomenal. So kind, soft, and informative. Me and my boyfriend had our first date at Momo back in ‘21 and we are moving to Houston on Wednesday. So it only felt right to finish up our NE chapter where it began. The food was INCREDIBLE. We even sent compliments to the chef. My boyfriend is a huge foodie with a background in culinary and rates his pork ribeye one of the best meals he’s EVER had. I will always be so happy and appreciative of our trips to Momo. Thank you for helping close our chapter here. Gracie is AMAZING! 10/10 customer service and humanity.“

“This was our first time here. What a great dining experience!
Great food and service. Jordan did a great job taking care of us - every detail.
Icing on the cake was when Jordan realized hubs was celebrating his birthday today, she brought him a candle (cake was already half eaten!)
We did not have a reservation for lunch but was seated right away in a cozy corner window table. A perfect spot for us!
Definitely recommend.“

“bestfood ever I recommend the kabob yummmm“

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

“Hands down the best beer in all of nebraska. The barrel aged stouts are my favorite, and never fail to impress. The Czech and helles lagers are some of the crispiest and cleanest beers I've tasted as well. And don't even get me started on the pulpagogo series... Do NOT pass up an opportunity to try them!!! I've spoken to Kolby on several occasions and he, as well as all of the employees are the friendliest and most helpful people I have met at any bar. Keep doing what you're doing and never change a thing! I dread the day that I ever leave lincoln, as I will miss this brewery dearly.“

“We had the cromlettes again today. They are so good. 1st time trying the Java chocolate chip muffin. I loved it. Very moist and delicious! We are from out of town by an hour but love to stop here when in town. and the coffee and café mocha is my go to.“

“My wife and I visit Lincoln once or twice a year for SCCA racing. We ALWAYS stop at Safaa once or twice during our stay. The food is excellent all around and Vegan/allergen friendly. The mango sauce is bomb 💣. The staff are super friendly.“

“BEST IN LINCOLN. Routine breakfast customer and never disappointed. Relaxing atmosphere with nostalgic decor and no blaring music or televisions nobody watches. Eaten all the breakfast places in Lincoln over the years, this is one of the best and the prices are very reasonable. Always busy so that should tell you something.“

“The best in town. atmosphere, quality and location.“

“Great place for coffee and live music“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“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 ventured down the passage stairs into this amazing space this morning before walking the farmers market… the aroma of baked yum hits you and then the smell of fresh coffee. Definitely worth the stop and we will be back!!“

“Stopped in for a quick beer while riding the bike trail and it ended up being the perfect break. The brewery has a welcoming, laid‑back vibe, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. The beer was cold, flavorful, and exactly what you want after a ride. It’s the kind of local spot that makes you glad you paused your pedal—great atmosphere, great people, and great beer. We’ll definitely swing back through on our next ride. Recommend: Jefe's Hefe“

“Thank you to the The Mill @ Innovation Campus for supporting local arts. We appreciate your partnership.“

“Went to lunch with my family and some friends on a Sunday afternoon. Manager was quick to accommodate our group as there were only smaller tables available at the time. He and his staff were very friendly with us, the food was great, and I would recommend this place to anyone. It's great to have a place with Keno that is stylish, comfortable atmosphere (for all members of the family) with a very friendly staff to visit on a regular basis. We will be regulars here soon.“

“Much love from Manhattan, KS! Retired Nebraska National Guard, here, and I’d stop by every time I stayed in Lincoln!“

“ordered a dog cake. Picked it up on a Sunday and had a party for my pup. She absolutely loved the cake! A+++“

“This was my family’s first time visiting this restaurant. We weren’t expecting much, boy was I wrong! It has a cozy warm atmosphere, very family friendly, and EXCELLENT food. The service was excellent as well. We don’t go to Italian restaurants generally, but this one deserves to be on our list of favorites.“

“I LLLLOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE this place. The dumplings are so delicious and general tso chicken is to die for. 1st time having a martini and it was perfect!“

“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.“

“Best Indian food I have had in a while! They are super friendly and have many gluten free and dairy free options!“

“Found a bug on our sandwich plate (not one that happened to just fly there) after we had finished eating. Manager came over to investigate after I showed the waitress. It was still alive, so she squashed it with her finger & said she could give us a discount. No apologies, just -$3.50 taken off. I’m sure because we had already eaten the sandwich. But, everything tasted good and the waitress was good.“

“This place is a total breath of fresh air! I hardly ever go out any more because prices are always high and food is disappointing. Went to Piedmont Bistro today with a friend and honestly we couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. 10/10!! also very nice servers.“

“Corn Coast is brewing some of the best craft beer in the Midwest.. Highly recommend a pint or two…..“

“Simply the best salad bar in the whole state. Their take on "French Onion Soup" is outstanding, the most flavorful version I have ever had. Great customer service. Totally worth a drive from Omaha!“

“The food was delicious and we loved every bite!! Our server Sofia was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She was so patient with some of the elderly people we had with us, very attentive, on top of everything from refills to check ins, and was just a delight. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Best Kung Pao chicken I have had! Everything my group had was amazing, this is one of the best Chinese places in Lincoln! Large portions and great appetizers. The restaurant was clean, and had a very welcoming and kind staff. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Love your food! Best Crab Ragoons ever!!! So full, but I keep eating more. You got my vote for best quality, price, and taste! See you again real soon!!!“

“I like eating food at Runza, but order accuracy needs some work. In the last 4 trips, the order was wrong. But I check now before leaving. The store decor is not very comfortable. The seating leaves a lot to be desired. But as I started with, I do love their food, and they do a really good job of making it with consistency.“

“Scooters is the BOMB!!! Addicted to their sea salt Carmelicious! Location at south 84th street is so courteous, check out their drive thru...you will NOT be disappointed!😀“

“Bin 105 is one of my favorite downtown spots! Kate, the owner, is amazing, so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about wine. My partner and I always stop by during the summer and fall farmers markets for their morning mimosas (the best little weekend tradition 🥂). I also did my first wine tasting here, and it was such a fun, welcoming experience. The vibe is relaxed, classy, and full of good energy. Definitely a Lincoln gem! 🍷“

“Our server Griffon, was excellent! Kept our drinks refilled, was quick with rolls, and appetizers. And our food came out super fast! And he checked on us and made sure everything was up to par! Absolutely great service and he does a great job!!!! ☺️☺️☺️“

“l am Black in America, l have. Been going to the Lounge for about a 1 1/2 years. My experiences have been very negative with the staff that does not appreciate diversity, the staff speaks to me as if we are still in Slavery! I have been licked, by a Pit Bull, l have stepped outside and come back in my drink covers were removed and my drinks poured out, although my coat and purse was in my seat. I was told by management that l would receive a phone call, this was 4 weeks away, and l still have not received a call. Tonight was the icing on the Cake a group was talking very loud, over the music and singer l could not hear the music. I was called to the front by management, l was told l was doing more clapping than usually, and that if l did not listen to them then, l would have to leave or they would call the police! I was told it was a private business and that l should never come back. I just want to say l am a Veteran, l respect the law, but the way l was treated was Disgusting! I would advise anyone of Color to not frequent this business, they donot not know how to treat Non Black People! They feel they can talk to you anyway! Sad! I would not even give them a rating, they donot deserve one! I will definely let people who look like me know Boitano's Lounge Coustomer Service towards Black's is Bad!“

“Overall great atmosphere and food/drink options. While booking, make sure to be clear about group size and seating preferences. They utilize bench seating which worked for most of our group, but I would encourage you to request seats instead.“

“Best hands down, Starbucks count your days“

“Never disappointed here no matter what I order! Wait staff is exceptional- Tonight it was Kendall- so friendly and personable- but that’s always the experience!! Recommend to everyone!!“

“My husband and I have loved going to Lazlo’s patio for 7 years. The food is normally great, not always hot, but the patio has been wonderful. Too bad they have decided to leave the Bird Nests hanging from the top of the patio. Bird feathers landed in our food, so we paid and just left. I love birds too but netting can be put up to STOP the nest and feathers from falling in your food. Yech!!!!“

“I sat at the bar for my lunch today. The food was good as usual, but my waiter, Simon, was very pleasant and made everything more enjoyable. He checked up on me without it seeming like he was hurrying me out the door. He went above and beyond when asking if I needed anything else. Great attitude and even got me a to go soda without having to ask. This is arguably the best experience I've had at OG and I will definitely be back. If his managers are reading this, just know you have a great employee!“

“Large portions. Good food. Staff was friendly and went above and beyond.“

“had a large group come in with us on a Sunday. we had given them a "heads up", who would have thought that another large group would also be coming in on a Sunday at 8pm? Anyway, staff handled things wonderfully/professionally, service was awesome, the food was really good and reasonably priced. We had a great time and will be coming back asap.“

“1867 has done a COMPLETE 180 since the new owners have taken over. Clean bathrooms, updated venue space, a super cute display board for all of the local art they hang. I am so happy to see this place get the treatment it deserves by such wonderful people, owners and bartenders alike.“
