50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Lincoln

“While visiting from Virginia, this was the one place on my list. We ordered one of each entree on the menu because everything sounded good. The quesadilla with beat hummus, figs, vegan feta, and pecans was truly a standout menu item that I'll be trying to recreate at home. We also had a Cubana sandwich, sweet potato mole enchiladas, and my husband wanted the burrito. I had hoped to have the nachos but they weren't on the menu this time. We still enjoyed everything and agreed the quesadilla was our favorite.

The horchata was also delicious. I think my husband ordered both of ours with a shot of cold brew. I think we might have missed out not ordering dessert. I didn't get to check out the ambiance because I waited in the car with a sleepy toddler and Pepe helped my husband get the food out to the car. I love creative and unique vegan food and Pepe's delivers!“

“Excellent vegan comfort food! Not just for vegans and vegetarians! 😍“

“First visit from Omaha, and everything was delicious. We had beef kabobs, chicken kabobs, chicken tikka,and chicken biryani, along with some baba ganoush. Friendly help and wonderful food, so we hope to be back next time we're in Lincoln.“

“Absolutely love Sultan's Kite! They do not skimp on portions and the price is very reasonable! Food is excellent too! Highly recommend!“

“We went this last week for my spouse’s birthday and every last thing we had was delicious. Not only that but our server was great fun and played up the birthday thing in a fun and enjoyable way. We had cocktails, appetizers, entrees and desserts and all of it was fantastic.“

“Eat here often. Food is very good. Service wonderful. We all love the place!“

“Great food, very very nice people! Definitely try the combo platters if you don't know what to get and want to try a little bit of everything. The meat combo is plenty of food for 2.“

“Great to have 402 Creamery up in the Highlands!“

“I'm not a coffee snob, I usually buy the cheapest store brands and then have to add so much it really isn't coffee. I decided to buy some ground coffee from TCS and was I ever surprised. It is wonderful. I could tell the difference immediately. I just had to add a tablespoon of cream and nothing else. Drinking this coffee is a treat.“

“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!“

“A Place Where Kindness and Resilience Shine For anyone who reads this… they need our help. A stroke 3 months ago and back to work! Because “I can’t be homeless” please reach out for questions“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious sushi, delicious cocktails, good Mongolian grill with better choices than many other places. Nice atmosphere, great specials. They've changed from Happy Hour all day to a more limited schedule, mainly before 6 on weekdays. Possibly later in the evening as well at times. New on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 4: All you can eat Sushi.“

“It's normally a good clean place, obviously the consensus with people I've talked to is, is that it's extremely pricey and it would be nice if they would change their flavors up more often. Other than that I am a repeat customer about 4 to 5 times a year and again I know they are trying to make money and run a business and I get that but everyone and I mean everyone I've talked to says it's way too expensive but the flavors are usually extremely tasty“

“Has that perfect mix of college-town chaos and actual flavor. Service can be hit or miss depending on who’s working, but the vibe’s laid back and the place doesn’t try too hard which I respect. The bread, though? Slaps. Like, weirdly good. One of those things you don’t expect to notice but then you’re halfway through and wondering why it’s better than it needs to be.

Easy 4 stars. Not flawless, but solid. Great for a casual night when you want something dependable, a little loud, and just offbeat enough to feel like Lincoln’s still got personality.“

“great people who understand that quality and customer service matter!“

“You gotta get a Banhwich, they're so good!!!“

“Hands down, the best ice cream in town!! 🍦 The monthly speciality flavors are always sooo good!“

“Incredibly delicious food!“

“Great place to have drinks and hors d’oeuvres“

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

“I just got a sampler here while doing scheduled maintenance. It is excellent! Especially the Spinach Balls, Beef Keema and the Aloo Gobhi!“

“The food is fabulous and the staff is amazing. Great service from the hostess, servers and all the way up to the general manager. we will definitely be back many more times.“

“good food. can be hrd to get in. it is well worth the wait in line.“

“Absolutely love Sultan's Kite! They do not skimp on portions and the price is very reasonable! Food is excellent too! Highly recommend!“

“2 scoop with mocha fudge pop tart and dutch chocolate in a waffle cone (sooo good)

The waffle cone is mint oreo (also very good)

One thing to note is that the ice cream melts extremely fast so the cones were a little messy“

“This was my first time trying the food. The service is SOUTHERN and second to none. Marlina and her family are authentically hospitable. The food was SUPERB! I ordered the catfish and chicken platter. The serving sizes were HUMONGOUS! I will definitely be back again. Blessings! Pastor Janet Goodman Banks.“

“This place truly deserves a heartfelt shout-out! The food is absolutely delicious, and the skilled staff behind the counter are incredibly helpful in helping you create your perfect pizza masterpiece. It's clear that the management genuinely cares, making the entire experience warm and welcoming.“

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

“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!!!!“

“This is a great place. The food is terrific and so reasonably priced, it’s better than most fast food options. I could spend all day staring at all the classic rock memorabilia. I love that they compost the uneaten food and the leftover napkins and paper products. I brought my 72 year old dad from out of town here, and he loved this place. I know he did because he asked me three different times “What was that place called again?” afterward. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone.“

“If you’ve never been to tandoor or if you haven’t ever tried Indian food - do yourself a favor and order their Chicken Tikka Goa. It is divine. Even our 7 & 11 year olds love it. Add samosas and naan!“

“I always try to stop in for tarts when I’m in town! Delicious!“

“I'm always delighted with whatever we get at Le Quartier! The almond chocolate croissants are reliably excellent. The ham and cheese croissants are so flavorful and make a perfect breakfast treat. I've been a fan of the Hungarian mushroom soup for a long time, and just tried the beef burgundy this week. wow, was it delicious! perfect cozy dish on a snowy day!“

“I have been coming to this place since 2019 with my family. We come here every year for a Nebraska Football game and also stay at the hotel so honest opinions only:

If you come for breakfast/brunch, you will certainly get the most attentive service and the food more than gets the job done. Have some coffee, go for a walk, and bang, boom, bam, if you have to go #2 it’ll come out. Great food, quality service, good price.

If you come for the evening for food and dinner: it gets the job done, solid food, solid and attentive service when you take into consideration how they’re staffed; this isn’t their fault, I just genuinely think this place is only busy during sports season for the Huskers which makes it harder to staff - inviting the owner to correct me if I’m wrong.

If on a night before a Friday before game night, very fast service for food and 7 out of 10 for drinks. If on a Friday before a game you will wait a few extra minutes but it doesn’t change that the drinks are solid, and the girls are busting their asses. Treat them nicely and they will do the same in return. When you look at this place it’s hard to imagine it staying fully staffed all year. (Again, due to sports season), so show some grace.

This is the hotel the football team stays at so if it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for me. Know that on the weekend nights (Friday/Saturday) before a home game it’ll be slower service because of more customers. Bonus feedback: the caesar chicken salad is a 8.4 out of 10… 8.7 of 10 if you add the chicken. The wings are their signature dish. Stop your complaining and enjoy a better than average but less than perfect establishment.“

“Amazing Burgers, Quick Service and Friendly Staff. Great place for lunch or dinner.“

“Had a wonderful experience, even with covid impact, and my mistake. In my ignorance, I misunderstood the menu and ordered raw sushi. The server was amazing and she brought someone over to help educate me what to order with my dietary limitations. With his help, he educated me and I was able to find something. * Thank you to the evening staff on February 11th, for your patience and understanding. I'm sorry for the confusion, and my ignorance. <3 * If you prefer cooked sushi, I highly recommend the Snow White Roll, and the clear soup was fabulous. <3“

“Get the Panang curry. You will be delighted“

“Hung B. Did a great job serving us tonight! The food was fresh and tasty! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love this place. Great food and amazing service. Great from kids to adults!“

“This was my second time at this location and it was terrible. I went to the drive thru and the person working seemed to be in a huge rush and very short with us. (There were no cars behind us or even in front) When i got to the window she said $20 very snappy and not even a hello. I politely asked if she had change for $100 and she slammed the window and walked away. Came back and told me shes not sure but to give her the money and she will try to figure it out. After she slammed the window again we waited 15 mins for a burrito and were given the wrong drink but i didn't complain since she was already very rude. Im not sure we will ever be back.“

“Gabriella, at the Oven restaurant downtown at 8th & Q is by far the best server at any restaurant I have ever been to. She made my birthday dinner very enjoyable. She went above and beyond. Thank you, Gabriella!!“

“Awesome service and great food! 5 stars“

“Our server was spectacular! So courteous and attentive. He stopped by every few minutes to see if we needed anything, but didn't linger and make things awkward or uncomfortable. The food was good, as usual, and the atmosphere there is quite pleasant.“

“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.“

“Very good service though Grubhub“
