    Great cafeteria style restaurant inside the Devon building which has sleek, modern, environmentally friendly interior design. The staff is friendly, the food is fresh and there's a great selection to choose from - sushi, sandwiches, noodles, protein, salad bar. I got the salmon dish last time with side dishes.

    Very good. $10 plus tax.

    I am not that reviewer who gives 5 stars away like jolly ranchers. I just wanted something healthy since I was in Oklahoma City for a short time. I am a fan. The Lady Executive Chef was so kind and she explained to me how it worked. When I got in line for Salmon, the big chef was so cheery and friendly. What's going on here? It's so awesome. Food was excellent. I loved the green beans and cauliflower. $10 plus tax. I cannot wait to dine here again.

    I am at a loss for words. I have lived in Oklahoma City all my life and started working downtown before I could drive. This restaurant, much like the building in which it lives, is a game changer for Downtown OKC employees. I worked in the First National Center (FNC) for seven years. The closest, fastest, cheapest options, were national sandwich chains and after so much processed meat, sometimes it was better to just not eat lunch. Kashi Go Lean bars became my go to. Some great little local spots were in the surrounding buildings, but you can only drink so many smoothies and eat so much chicken salad. And I love me some Ken (owner of the Chinese buffet in FNC- big ups, Ken!), but you can't get Chinese buffet on the daily, no matter how much you think it calls your name. So back to Nebu: Do this math: for around $7, you can have your pick of sandwiches, salads, wraps, soups, sushi, or one of four or five daily specials. I think between the regular options and the specials, if you worked in this building and chose to eat here on the daily, you could have something different every day, all year. I posted a bunch of pictures because it literally has to be seen to be believed. I had the soba noodles in a miso broth. I got to pick from chicken, shrimp, tofu or a combo. Broccoli, asparagus, tobiko, peppers, carrots, onions, mushrooms and more could be added, as many as you wanted, for the same price. Which (with tax) came to $6.88. I had a (free) cucumber water, but had about 100 different teas, waters and natural sodas to choose from. The meal itself was fantastic, as my lunchmate can attest because I ate with so much gusto I ended up with soup all over me and really did not care. I've eaten in one of the cafeterias at Microsoft, and I can tell you that this is so much better it is difficult to compare the two. I plan to work here from time to time, so let me know if you want to try it. They'll probably just think I actually work in Devon Tower!

    How can I explain Nebu? It's like an adult cafeteria. It's located in the Devon building and you really can't miss it once you enter the building. Nebu is open to the public, not just for the Devon employees. I had a friend that assumed that the cafeteria was just specifically for the Devon employees. They're only open for breakfast and lunch, providing daily specials. You can find the specials on their website, but if you don't want their daily special, they also have a lot of other options. I applaud them for having such a fantastic salad bar! That's another thing, if you're looking for a healthy meal, Nebu has that!! A tad bit pricey, but that's it.

    In downtown OKC for a meeting or jury duty try out Nebu for lunch. A full buffet and salad bar with a relaxing outdoor seating allows you to getaway with ease from whatever brings you to the area.

    Cool adult cafeteria! There are several options to choose from I grabbed salmon with veggies and cous cous. Plenty of seating and outdoor seating great for a relaxing lunch break!

    Salmon with chimichurri sauce, rosemary white beans, and green beans.

    I LOVE Nebu. Seriously. I can walk there and eat lunch with time to spare. They're friendly, and the options and variety is just incredible. I always get the salmon because honestly, they're one of the few places in OKC that makes a decent piece of salmon. The food is very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious.

    Shantel N.

    Plenty of delicious and healthy options but it can be expensive at times, so beware. I go there weekly for lunch, and there's plenty of unique and tasty dishes but the salmon, salad bar & BBQ offerings tend to be my favorite. It can be a bit crowded at times but the lines move quickly.

    Yelp keeps prompting me to review Nebu so now I finally am. I have 92 check-ins there and I'm not a Devon employee. At least once a week, frequently more, I make the walk from my office in Bricktown to the Devon Tower for lunch at Nebu. I really appreciate Devon opening their employee cafeteria to the general public and also that they serve lots of tasty, healthy choices along with the normal not so healthy lunch choices. I have to exercise to get there and then I eat healthy when I do so that's a win-win day for me. The one benefit I miss by not being a Devon employee is getting the 50% discount they provide to their employees on their healthy choice items. I don't eat the healthy items only because they are healthy. I eat them because it's food I love and can't get anywhere else downtown for lunch at such a reasonable price. Seafood and fish are some of my favorites and you can get big pieces of quality salmon and mahi mahi at Nebu. The exact offerings vary from day-to-day and sometimes week-to-week. I have signed up for the daily email of the special offerings but you can also check it out at www.cafenebu.com where you can see the Daily Menu for items they have every day as well as the Weekly Menu that shows the special items in each section for each day. If you check this out in advance, it will make it a little bit easier when you get there. You will just have to see if they still have the item you want. I am a late lunch eater so I sometimes miss out on my first choice but always find something worth getting. They close at 1:30pm so don't be too late but around 1:00 pm you miss the big lunch crowd. I glanced through some of the other reviews. I noticed one lady complained about how much she assumed her small soda cost but that she couldn't check it because she didn't get a receipt. You frequently do have to request a copy of the receipt from the cashier but two copies are always printed out. Nebu keeps the first copy & the second copy is for the customer. I always get one. I don't think I have ever paid for a drink at Nebu. They have dispensers of cold water, one always has lemon slices in it and another cucumber slices, that are free. Just get a glass and fill it up. About every other week, Nebu has carved turkey breast at the bistro station. I love turkey but I don't cook and I didn't get to have turkey at Thanksgiving (we waited too long and had to have ham). I was happy that this was turkey week so I went Monday and had the carved turkey breast. The serving is always a large two slices and the bistro has an assortment of toppings available for the meat and fish offerings. In keeping with my belated Thanksgiving theme, I got the cranberry sauce topping. The turkey is always moist and tender and the salmon is also delicious. Their turkey meat loaf is so good and popular that I have only managed to get it once before they sold out of it. The bistro items come with a choice of two sides which vary day by day. I won't go into detail about what all I have eaten there. As of now, there are 80 photos on Yelp for Nebu. I am guessing that the majority are mine. You may be surprised that I am only rating Nebu at 4 stars and not 5. Well, with experience I usually make good choices but I have had a few not so stellar selections as would be expected in a cafeteria setting. All of the staff working there have always been very friendly and helpful. I am definitely a fan and will be back at Nebu eating lunch again soon!

This time we had a reservation and arrived 30 mins early when we got there we gave them our name and the waitress said it would be 45 mins. We asked if we could possibly get seated early since we were there (9:30 am) without looking at the schedule or the room she replied "No 45 mins". We turned and left. We had not been gone 10 mins and got a text saying our table was ready. I canceled the reservation. We ate at one of the hotels downtown and it was lovely. I did book this reservation a day early. Will not be booking again. Very disappointed.

This is a place worth an absolute flaming of a review.... But they already wasted enough of my time and energy today so I'll just summarize. No management on scene, no hostess, one server, two bartenders and a restaurant at 50% capacity on Mother's Day at 1 p.m. From walking in to having our orders taken, 30 minutes. 45 minutes later our order of roasted vegetable salad, steak eggs Benedict, and sourdough toast arrived. Salad was very well burnt but my mom was trying to be nice and didn't want to walk out. Eggs Benedict came out with two eggs boiled through, a hollandaise sauce with a sour smell and cold steak. I didn't eat it and no one seemed to notice, had it removed from my bill easy enough, but again zero F's given and no management showed daylight. Wife's toast actually arrived 5 minutes after the 'rest' of the food and the only thing hot and delicious. Toast here is $11, so there's that. No one cares here.
