The woman working was incredibly friendly and attentive, which immediately set a great tone. My husband and kids ordered pizza, and I went with a baked potato loaded with the same toppings as their Mediterranean slice. So good!! The pizzas were thin and crispy, exactly how I like them. They even cut the kids' slices into small pieces, which I thought was absolutely genius. Honestly, how is this the first time I've seen that? Our food came with freshly baked bread that was delicious. And really, who can say no to carbs on carbs? They also have a full beer selection, plus a pool table and foosball, which kept the kids entertained while we ate. Yia Yia's is probably my new favorite pizza place. We live in Omaha, but I would absolutely drive to Lincoln just for this pizza. Delicious food, great service, and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

I ordered spaghetti with marinara and a side salad. I specifically asked for no cucumbers, but the salad still came out with them. It's one vegetable I absolutely hate, but I didn't send it back, just wish a little more attention had been paid to that request. The pasta itself wasn't very good. The marinara barely coated the noodles and didn't have much flavor, so I ended up asking for a side of Alfredo just to make it better. Overall, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but the food didn't impress me. The highlight of the experience was definitely the server handling such a large group so well.

The lemon drop martini was great, a little on the south side, which I don't mind. The Caesar salad was a good starter, as were a few appetizers (not pictured) that we started our meal with. I wish I remember the name of my pasta dish, but I don't see it on the full menu. We had a limited menu for the company party, but this was a cavatappi pasta with a white sauce, and I added shrimp to the dish. It was excellent! I also got to try The chicken Parmesan, lasagna, and a few other dishes. All were great for the price point. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for a casual date night, or a group event of any kind!

This is my "go to" when ordering delivery. I have enjoyed every order since the first time I tried them 5 years ago. My usual order is the Turkey Bacon, Add avocado. They have some of the tastiest chocolate chip cookies around, too! I've also tried their pizzas which are very good, my favorite is the buffalo chicken. They also have a delicious broccoli cheddar soup! Prices are reasonable for the amount & quality of food. The staff are knowledgeable & friendly, which is also a plus. I recommend anyone give them a try if you want a guaranteed good meal for a decent price! read more

Best Sandwich in Lincoln, hands down! If you aren't in the mood for sandwiches, you can get one of their unique pizzas (ready in 5 mins), salads, or soups. The quality of these products doesn't compare to any in the industry. If you are in downtown Lincoln looking for some top notch food in minutes, Picklemans is the place to be. Convenient location on O street and Centennial Mall make Picklemans a great lunch, dinner, or late night eatery!! read more

I tried calling the number on the receipt only to get a very generic "Leave a message" recording - nothing that identified it as the store. So we drove back to the store and explained the situation. We said, "And we would like a free sandwich or something to make up for the gas we used having to come back. The girl shrugged her shoulders and said, "I can't do that. All I can do is give you the other sandwich." We asked to see the manager and she replied, "I am the manager." We asked to see the owner and were told, "The owner is going to tell you the same thing I'm telling you." The lack of customer service was appalling. We will not be eating there again and will be telling everyone we know not to eat there either. The overall attitude was "We messed up and really couldn't care less about it." So for the price of another sandwich or a free cookie or some small gesture that said, "We're so sorry, here, let us make it up to you." they have instead purchased a bad review and a negative word of mouth campaign.

Lo and behold, I am going down O Street with my grandkids, both ravenous teenager's that had never had a Jersey Mike's sub before. A quick right turn into the parking lot and it's off to the races.

My points carried over from Boston, two of the subs were free as I had never cashed them in in WR. They watched (stared) at their sandwiches were prepared, from the cuts, to the add-on's and when we got out of the door and back into the car, they had both started on their subs, and said "WOW" in unison. It doesnt' get better than that! Great job all the way around, I highly reccomend Jersey Mike's (as I am now the "Best Grand-dad ever"). Enjoy!

Both of our fries arrived a little cooler than I would expect for freshly made items. The sweet potato fries were crispy, yet lacked flavor. The truffle fries were disappointing. They were very dry and had what seemed like seasoning and cheese dumped in the container. I'd expect some oil for the "truffle" label, but there appeared to be none.
