    This is the dishwasher.

    The Don and Millie's on 56th Street Lincoln, Nebraska has mold growing all over the walls, dishwasher, freezer floor, and underneath the ice maker. There isn't anything blocking the dish area, where all the mold is growing, from where the food is in the kitchen. Meaning that moldy dish water is getting sprayed in the food. Dustin Williams, a manager at the store, drinks the margarita mix on the clock, and other coworkers steal the margarita mix and also drink it on the clock. He's also taking fire ball shooters in his car on his break. Everyone at the store, including all of the managers are smoking weed on the clock, and actively hitting their weed pens in the kitchen. No body cleans anything but the lobby, and bathroom. I've witnessed multiple employees and mangers get in arguments, and employees get kicked off the clock. All in all it's a terrible work place.

    I love this place, and there customer service is great. I am normally not one to write a bad review but what happened today is unacceptable. I order a chicken taco salad(#10) and as soon as I opened it up I was already disappointed. There was way too much tomato. I figured that was not a big deal and I would let that go. Then I came to realize I literally only got 3 pieces (strips) of chicken, and to top it off the lettuce was gross! Not only was it gross they almost threw the whole lettuce in the plate. I'm not sure if they have a new cook or what was going on, since this had never happened before. I really love this place but not sure if I will be going back.

    Soooo goood!!!! We've only been in Nebraska about 2 months. I decided I wanted a burger, so after driving around w/ no luck, I called a friend and she directed me to Don & Millie's! I was not disappointed! I ordered the Double Don combo. Fries were fresh & hot and the burger was DELICIOUS! I will definitely be bringing my hubby to my favorite new burger place!

    Hubby & I tried Don & Millie's today. I got the #2 which was a cheese burger, fries & med drink. We went at a busy time, 12:30 on a weekday, but the food came out in less than 10 minutes. I have learned to dislike the typical hamburgers that are pressed squares of jerky. Overcooked & tastless. D&M's are not! A hand pressed beef burger, cook to just right with, mustard, ketsup, dill pickles and fresh chopped onion. And cheese, which was melted on the pattie and soft, fresh, bun...yum. The FF were good, but not amazing, but the onion rings looked wonderful. I liked that the burger was just the right size. I would rather have a modest portion with quality taste, than a massive portion that tastes so-so. American's are fat b/c we get too much food!! Soapbox off. Hubby got the chicken fingers, which were not the best choice. He ate them, but this is not what you should go to D&M's for. He also got a side of potato soup, which had cheese, real bacon, and chopped green onion. It was good! The place was busy, but clean, including the restrooms, and they bused the tables quickly so people can sit & eat right away. I had been looking for a local homemade burger place, and we will return to D&M's for more. PS no checks taken here.

I understand thoroughly how restaurants are supposed to operate. For any management, or possibly the owner who reads this review, take into consideration that the way you are operating this business is appalling, ignornant, frustrating, and utterly disappointing. Hopefully there is no word limit, because if there was my experience as a whole is sure to exceed it. I entered the establishment around 12:30. I waited approximately 30 minutes to be sat, I understood the wait--it was peak lunch rush and we had a party of 8. At 1:00pm we were all sat. We were waiting for a server to acknowledge us for approximately 20 minutes. Eventually, a server began helping us, but she said she was unsure who are server was suppose to be, given that, she was not treating us like one of her tables. By the time she got to us we immediately put in all are orders: drinks, appetizers, meals, and alcoholic beverages. I had to walk to the bar myself and pick up the drinks that were prepped but never dropped off because of the failure to assign us a server. That in itself should make the management and owner very ashamed that a customer had to do the serving! I do not blame any of the servers at all for this absolute circus. I could tell how stressed each and every server was, and environment like this is very reportable to HR. I hope management is extremely well aware of that. Continuing, our food was an hour wait. By the time the food did come out, it was not even fresh or worth the waiting. I ended up never getting my food. According to "our" server, the kitchen was short staffed and one singular manager was back there keeping it running. I'm not sure what the servers were doing or what caused them to be a mess as well, but clearly the whole place needed to begin denying service. The 8 of us watched one by one as multiple people began to leave. Not one single person was warned of how long the wait would be for the food. If they were, all these bad experiences could have been avoided entirely. At the end, we negotiated getting some of our food taken off our tickets, but we stil had to pay some money that I would argue was not worth it at all. We were given a $50 giftcard for next time, which that in itself was extremely arrogant--after THAT why would we ever want to come back? DO NOT GO HERE. If you want to experience the absolute worst dining establishment, choose here. Other than that, do not ever waste your time here. I was reading some other reviews that gave this place a one star, and it seemed management tried to reach out to smooth things over. To make one thing very clear, there is nothing, NOTHING you can do to smooth over this situation. Instead of trying to play nice and quiet the bad reviews, take time to consider and fix what all these horrible reviews are discussing. If you cannot properly run a business, do not attempt to. You have completely broken the bonds between your employees, you have caused them stress, emotional damage through multiple unhappy customers, and on top of that you are ripping servers of their main income which is tips! I guarantee you in total those servers earned no more than $15 for the day--and on a typical Saturday that number should be in the HUNDREDS. I sincerely apologize to anyone who works here. Save yourself the stress and physical/emotional distress and apply somewhere else. Apparently, some other servers were being incredibly rude. So, if you match the audacity of the management, maybe this is the perfect place for you to work. TLDR; This place is appalling--service is slow, negligent, and an overall circus. The management are the clowns. DO NOT EAT HERE.

The onion rings are huge, definitely enough to go around for everyone. The breading is what got me. They were cooked perfectly, but tasty and crunchy at the same time. I ordered salmon for my main dish, with a side of mashed potatoes. My toddler had grilled jumbo shrimp with green beans. My husband got the breakfast enchiladas. Everything was great. The portions are generously sized. Service was quick, all the employees are welcoming. The ambiance feels quaint and cozy. I'm excited to come back here to try more items off of the menu!

Finally said hello I ordered an IPA (very good beer but visit went down from there) there were dirty glasses amassed on the end of the bar a gentleman asked her why and she said her drain is clogged she can't wash them. He put on a glove reached in the drain and pulled out piles of limes lemons garnish and told her "it's clogged because you put all that shit in there" she came back with "to be fair it's not just me." Glasses remained. I then ordered a club sandwich (California style which is added avocado) while waiting I took a pic of the beer taps go share with my husband because we love beer. Because of hos questions I (waited for her eating and typing again) and asked if they sold cans or crowlers to go. She had to ask someone if they still have cans (no) and had no idea what a crowler was. I'm visiting so a growler wasn't practical. Food comes. No detectable avocado. I swear she was going to reach over and spread apart my sandwich but she was annoyed and told me "well I rang it up right!" Like that matters. Eating decent sandwich and i notice a nitro tap. Ask her about it she explained it 1000% incorrectly but i got a splash anyway. It was very good and I ordered one. Check comes oops needs to take off avocado upgrade (didn't leave it long enough for me to look harder. 2nd attempt realize she didn't charge me happy hour price for the beers huffs away to change that. While she was occupied a manager type person was near me and said "how's it going" my answer was "beers good but she's dumb as a rock" ok not the best word choice but I was beyond frustrated at that point. He snaps at me about how horrible it is to call people names )I didn't call her anything just an observation) he starts to madly comp my check (I had asked for nothing) she asks why and he told HER what I said then She address me "well that's a mean thing to say" I now have 3/4 of a beer left and I'm sitting at a bar with a pissed off bartender. He won't let me explain or in anyway tell him what happened so I went and sat at a small table with 2 empty beers on it so I don't have to stare at her. He comes over and loudly busses the table without a word just a dirty look. So I finished my beer and left. PS glasses still not washed woman still picking at food and playing with the register. Don't live there so won't have the chance to check it out again but as a beer lover.. very nice beers. service gets an F

I ordered…read morethe wagyu Philly; it was okay, enjoyed that it included lots of button mushrooms but in terms of the Philly meat, it was a bit dry, I've definitely had better. It's almost like they tried to make it more "fancy" (yellow bell pepper, herb sauce) when all you really need is the essentials. The highlight of this meal was definitely the french onion soup, it was perfectly burned with plenty of Gruyère cheese, loaded with onions. Pricing for the wagyu Philly ($14) is pretty reasonable as this came with a side. The soup was $8 which is a bit pricy for just a side of soup, although it was a pretty solid bowl. I also got a blackberry mule, it was okay but seemed a bit watered down. Service was pretty lackluster and the reason this review stands at a 2. We came midday past any viable lunch rush (130pm onward) so it was us and maybe 1-2 other tables. Taking that into consideration service should have been much better. Our server (he) was impersonal and unbothered by doing more than the bare minimum. Water wasn't ever refilled and he was inattentive unless we asked for something, but was quick to grab the checkbooks after. Per their website, Monday is all day happy hour, but we received no HH discount on the drinks.

We made a reservation at 630 for 7 pm and we made it there in time We were seated promptly after glases were placed at the table we were to be seated at. Ambiance was upscale. Dimmed dining room- suitable for a romantic night. But we also noticed a lot of families as well. In the middle of the dining room I noticed a little tree-like ornament. It looked very pretty and added to the ambiance. Hubby ordered a beer whilst I ordered a rainbow sherbet margarita. Drinks came pretty quickly. My drink looked very pretty- Its more tart than expected and im ok with that. There was also a strong raspberry taste though no raspberries in sight. So if you're not comfortable with tart drinks please avoid this drink. I ordered duck on the specials menu that came with green beans and sweet potato mash and my hubby ordered steak with onion strings and mac and cheese. Food took some time to come. Presentation was beautiful for my duck. Flavour was good for the duck. But even the pictures I attached showed that one part of the duck was undercooked. The other side was a tad overcooked but edible. The undercooked part cannot be cut even with a steak knife. The beans and the sweet potato mash was cooked well. Otherwise. It was good. They took it off our overall bill though. That was really nice of them. We then ordered desserts. I got a berry tiramisu, and hubby got the chocolate cherry manhattan. My tiramisu was good. Could be a little less sweet- as mentioned earlier i like tart-ish stuff. But it was still light and fluffy. Hubby's chocolate cherry manhattan was a little strong. But could be improved with a better balanced taste profile. We had a wonderful experience despite the slightly undercooked duck. Appreciate our young server very much. She was an absolute delight. And apologies to her- we forgot her name. She made a potentially bad experience a good one. We will be back.
