“We were just visiting Lincoln from Omaha for the day and literally found L's Kitchen by accident as it was near the where we were visiting. Found it on the internet looking for places for lunch nearby.
4.8 stars, French, and in Lincoln? Could it really be any good? But how can you not love a French restaurant the serves real Hungarian Goulash? So we tried it. For lunch.
What a surprise! The outside, not so much to look at. We almost turned around and went somewhere else. But we were hungry so we went in. Nice decor, friendly real French owner.
Goulash was not on the lunch menu! Horrors! But not a problem; the owner and chef made it for me anyway. Hot freshly made rolls just out from the oven. Delicious!
The food alone was well worth the drive from Omaha! The best goulash I've had in years. Butter tender meat, tasty broth. Just wonderful! A little French hidden gem in Lincoln! A total but wonderful surprise!
They open at 5:30 for dinner. Best to make an online reservation because they have no phone and relatively few tables which are spread out and not crowded together. When I asked the owner, he said he wants people to feel comfortable, relax, and spend as much time as they wanted without feeling crowded or rushed. I wish more restaurants had the same philisophy!
Have tickets to a show at Lied's? Coming from Omaha? Make a dinner reservation here first! We did for an upcoming performance! And save room for dessert!
This is a wonderful restaurant. Try it and you won't be disappointed!
Vegetarian options: There are a number of vegetarian options on the menu. And the quality is truly superb! Don't miss the eggplant appetizer!
Parking: They have free on-site parking. Not a big lot, but it's a small restaurant.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair access through the back. Plenty of room inside as the tables are not crowded together.”

“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.”
Brewery • $$
“We enjoyed drinks here on the outdoor patio. Each table has its own table top warmer which was really nice. I didn't try the beer and instead had the old fashioned. 1914 rye whiskey was really good in the old fashioned. I was told the beer was good, will have to try it next time.”

“The best! I love everything I get from here. The gyro plate and the falafel wrap are my favorites. Potato wedges are so fluffy and savory, and the crinkle fries are always crispy and perfect. Abita root beer is the perfect complement to the spicy, salty goodness.”

“Just had lunch there with two friends for the first time and we're all ABSOLUTELY coming back! The food was amazing - both the flavors and the huge portions (I got the Chicken Shawarma with Rice). The service was also excellent. Everyone was super welcoming and helpful. Definitely recommend checking them out!”

“Great Food, Great Serving Size. There's a little bit of wait, but I still give 5 stars as the ladies are really nice and friendly. Maybe need a few more table, but I still give 5 stars on atmosphere since at least they did not cramp the place with so many tables, and the place is clean and bright.”

“Great food. Great owner. Get yourself right and grab some real Texas BBQ. Had the three meat plate (moist brisket, ribs, cheddar link) no hyperbole, it was the best BBQ I’ve ever had in Lincoln. Grabbed a pork sandwich just to try it. Cooked to perfection. Probably ate it in :60 seconds flat. There is nothing like this place in town. Tell your friends. Highly recommend!”

Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps”
Sandwich Shop • $
“It's a weird little shop being the building is shared with a gas station. But the food's good, and it's pretty cheap, about ten bucks for a cheese steak. The inside is pretty dingy, and they need to update terribly.... But to keep costs down, i'm cool with it how it is!”

He and his staff were very friendly with us, the food was great, and I would recommend this place to anyone.

It's the large stuffed crust Chicago style pizza so you can also justify spending more because it's going to give me at least 4 meals.

“This is a simply a great place. You will have a hard time finding better service or better beer in Lincoln. GREAT location in Haymarket, there's also a rooftop bar that's well worth the effort.

I have had thousands of ciders and these ciders were hands down some of the best. And the fresh made hummus was so good I think i had a spiritual moment. We took many ciders to go but will definitely be ordering some online. Maybe you can find a northeast US distributor!”

“I phoned a week before the date we wanted to make reservation. Trevor was very nice and said I could reserve a long table for up to 15 guests. I verified number of guests and called a couple days before arriving on the 24th to confirm the number attending. We were very impressed with Trevor and the quality of food was outstanding.. I had the beer macaroni and cheese and loved it. A couple people had Rueben's and were equally impressed. Burgers and chicken strips were large. I was impressed with nice side salad. The salmon was beautifully plated too. Highly recommend coming to the Mettle Grill. You will not be disappointed The only downside was the chairs were very heavy and if you put gliders on chair legs it would make it easier for an older group to move the chairs. Trevor was very pleasant and efficient. Will definitely return.”

“The Sweet Berry Chicken Salad was very good, as usual. The service was what you would expect as well. While the restrooms could use some attention, the restaurant itself was visually appealing with current decor, although it did feel a little cramped. Regardless, that is not why any of us come to Runza, is it?”

“We stopped in for happy hour on Thursday. We were immediately greeted by a very friendly bartender, named Wren, who conversed with us and was really good at her job. She was playing great music and even asked us what we would like to hear. She was very personable, promoted some of the drinks that the bar offered, and was very positive. She really seemed to like her job and did it very well! We liked her so much we returned later on that evening too. I hope management reads this and makes sure to take care of Wren because she is one of the reasons we will be back on our next trip to Lincoln.”

“My husband and I were craving Indian food and looked for something Uber Eats could deliver. We'd never tried Aroma before, and we're definitely glad we did. We ordered a whole Tandoori Chicken to share, soup, and Onion Kulcha. Everything was delicious. The food had a spicier kick than other local Indian restaurants, which we both enjoyed. Next time I'll order a side of rice to go along with it because we would have liked more, but we will definitely be dining with Aroma again soon.”

“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.”

“Still the same tried and true thing it has been for a long time. I don't go to this location typically but I did recently and it's just as good as any of the others. Fast, not terribly expensive, authentic-ish choices along with a few goofy but tasty items.
Vegetarian options: Not anyone of options but there are some that aren't too bad.”

“I had the lobster bisque (excellent) and the steak of the day, which was (I forget the exact name) a Rib Steak with rosemary infused butter? It was melt in your mouth tender and one of the most flavourful steaks I’ve had. Unbelievable! Such a unique and enjoyable dinner with service to match the meal. I would have to recommend this be a regular menu item so others have the opportunity to enjoy it. It was that good!”

“We ordered the burger specials and they were cooked perfectly, just as we requested! They were juicy and delicious! The waiter, Carl was awesome. He was attentive and kind! Our only complaint was that it was so cold in the restaurant. There was cold air blowing through frequently and not just when people came in the door. It would have been nice to take off our coats and be warm enough to eat without them but it was way too cold to take our coats off!! Some warmth and heat would have given the 5th star!”

“The hot beet sandwich was the worst meal I ever had there. The potatoes were hard, dry, and cold, the beef was good and gravy but the whole meal was cold. I've had really good hot beer sandwich there before & it was delicious but today something was off. I was very disappointed.”

“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!”

“Lived in Lincoln from 1970-1988. Zesto's hot fudge sundaes were consistently a highlight. We were back in town for a visit and I was tickled to find out they are STILL as great as ever! Service by Ella was fine, and still lots of lovely shade to relax in while enjoying our treats !”

“I phoned a week before the date we wanted to make reservation. Trevor was very nice and said I could reserve a long table for up to 15 guests. I verified number of guests and called a couple days before arriving on the 24th to confirm the number attending. We were very impressed with Trevor and the quality of food was outstanding.. I had the beer macaroni and cheese and loved it. A couple people had Rueben's and were equally impressed. Burgers and chicken strips were large. I was impressed with nice side salad. The salmon was beautifully plated too. Highly recommend coming to the Mettle Grill. You will not be disappointed The only downside was the chairs were very heavy and if you put gliders on chair legs it would make it easier for an older group to move the chairs. Trevor was very pleasant and efficient. Will definitely return.”

“Walnut Shrimp was the best shrimp dish I have ever eaten. Coconut rice was the perfect compliment. Wait time at lunch was reasonable since each meal is cooked fresh. Over all place is small but comfortable and clean with polite wait staff. Lots of unique offerings on menu.”

“Great Food, Great Serving Size. There's a little bit of wait, but I still give 5 stars as the ladies are really nice and friendly. Maybe need a few more table, but I still give 5 stars on atmosphere since at least they did not cramp the place with so many tables, and the place is clean and bright.”

“The best! I love everything I get from here. The gyro plate and the falafel wrap are my favorites. Potato wedges are so fluffy and savory, and the crinkle fries are always crispy and perfect. Abita root beer is the perfect complement to the spicy, salty goodness.”

“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.”

“It was our first time visiting, and the place was very clean and cozy. The food quality was excellent, the staff were very friendly, and I think the best dishes were the pork ribs and fried chicken.”
“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.”
