Bananas Foster Latte
Dan R.

Cute little coffeehouse in the original downtown part of Lincoln, nice variety of coffee drinks, pastries, breakfast and lunch items. Always a handful of coffee drink specials to try whatever is different for the month, there is a small seating area, plus an added seating room one door away. Coffee and drink service is always on point, kitchen service can vary from slow to wildly slow, apparently just too tiny of a kitchen prep and cooking area for the number of customers they attract. Make this a stop when you want coffee quick, and when you have plenty of time to sit back and relax when including food service.

First time in and nice Sunday morning vibe. Wait time for food was a bit long but they let us know in advance. We didn't have a time constraint so it gave us time to enjoy our drinks and just chill. Very good flavor for both drinks and food. Staff very friendly. Clean spaces and creative menu! A very nice visit that makes me want to return to try more.

Our breakfast!!

A friend saw this restaurant on Facebook and told me about it! She knows how much Douglas and I love to try coffee/breakfast places! Well you need to try it! It's just a small little place with some great coffee and delicious breakfast. Doug had the Bantam breakfast burrito and could only eat half and I had the Mother Clucker breakfast sandwich! Both were absolutely delicious. Prices are very reasonable and worth it!

We stumbled upon this place on a whim while staying at Thunder Valley Casino for the weekend and wanted to venture out instead of eating at the casino. Based on the photos online, the food looked incredible and had us excited to try it. Unfortunately, it ended up being just okay--nothing really stood out or left a lasting impression. The highlight for me was the wide variety of hot sauces, which definitely helped elevate the flavors and made the meal more enjoyable.

We ended up ordering takeout from this spot and the food was top notch. I ended up getting a chorizo breakfast bowl and everything was so good. Normally brunch is very busy, so I recommend calling in an order if you'd rather eat at home or need something quick. I'd love to come back and try more of the menu.

The staff was very friendly. It's a small place but we were able to get a table as it was early on a Monday. The coffee and cappuccino were both good. Hubby and I shared the Jersey Giant Burrito and the Mother Clucker. The bun on the Mother Clucker was great and the sandwich was tasty. The burrito was ample and not over filled with potatoes as some often are. There was a good ratio of each ingredient. They had about 5 different sauces/hot sauces on the table. It was fun trying them. Great little spot in Lincoln!

Cookie butter croissant and an iced vanilla latte.
Lizzie P.

Wow, the food and coffee here are amazing! I stopped in before church for some coffee and was swayed into buying a croissant. This wasn't just a regular croissant, it was cookie butter. Let me tell you, that was the best croissant I've had in awhile. The coffee was delicious too. The staff were so friendly and told me everything is made fresh in house and I believe it. I can't wait to come back and try more food!

Banana bread muffin, café au lait, steel the moment cold brew

10/10 we are so happy we found this place for breakfast during our visit in Lincoln. We ordered the chorizo bowl, bacondaise bowl, brown butter chocolate chip cookie, & banana bread muffin. Everything was absolutely delicious. Both bowls were packed with flavor. You can go wrong with either of them. The wake up buttercup latte was also yummy. Being from Louisiana we were looking for a breakfast packed with flavor and this place delivered!

Chorizo bowl, super good
Liana G.

this adorable little cafe in town that I just wanted to share with you. First of all, they have gluten-free options for everyone, which is a huge plus! The cafe itself is quite small, and the air conditioning wasn't working very well. It wasn't even that hot outside, so you can imagine how hot it would have been if it had been. But the employees were super friendly and helpful, and they even let us know that they were running behind on food. That's really thoughtful! They had forgotten to bring all our ordered items, but they offered a free dessert instead, which was super delicious and thoughtful. Oh, and the lattes were absolutely amazing! They were so good! They also had mimosa flights, which were super cute and delicious. Overall, I had a really great time at this cafe. I'd definitely recommend it! 10/10!

Case of treats.
Stacey G.

What a delightful find! (And search and find you must because the cafe name is not visible from the street.) But there was a steady line early on Saturday so the secret is out. Delicious breakfast! I had the garden bowl with a London fog and my dad had the rebel hen croissant sandwich. A nice man in line ahead of us said the mother clucker chicken and avocado toast were incredible too. All the items in the case looked tempting for a grab and go option.

Taco Doodle-Do

Rebel hen has been one of my go-to breakfast spots when I'm in town. I've been here a number of times, it's the kind of place that's easy to come back to when you want something consistent! This visit, I ordered the tacos that came highly recommend. I added a photo because it shows how generous they are with the toppings and sauces. These tacos were especially great because of the cheese crisp on the shell! Flavor wise it was savory (as breakfast tacos should be) and everything tasted fresh. Service has been consistently friendly and efficient every time I've been, the food usually comes out quickly even when they're busy. The vibe is casual and comfy, making it an easy spot for a relaxed breakfast without feeling rushed. I'll definitely keep coming back!

French Toast
Kelly H.

Had a fabulous meal in this cute little spot today with my niece. I was visiting from out if town and she suggested here for a late breakfast. Got a seat right away. You help yourself, order at the counter and prepay the tip, so be aware of that. Serve yourself water station, so request a cup with ice when ordering too. Food came relatively quickly and was very good. Large portions, great flavor and very filling. I got the French toast with a side of sausage with orange juice. The sausage is delicious, and the french toast did not disappoint the fresh berry topping was a nice touch. My niece really liked hers too. Her favorite was the sausage too. Highly recommend and will go again when I am in town.

Avocado toast

I have never had a better breakfast than at the Rebel Hen Cafe!!! I love their London Fog drink, Mother Cluckers sandwich, and everything else I've tried. Their breakfast potatoes are amazing and so is the Mexican corn salad.

If you've followed my Yelp reviews for any length of time, you already know one thing about me--I'm…read morea full-blown gyro fanatic. If I see a gyro shop and the timing is right, I'm stopping. I absolutely love a well-seasoned lamb and beef combo. With this review, I have to admit something that's a little embarrassing. I've lived in Lincoln for three years, driven by Express Gyro countless times, and kept telling my wife, "We need to try that place." Somehow, I never walked through the door. No more excuses. Yes, it's tucked away a bit...but they also have a big ol' sign out front. I simply waited way too long. Well, let me tell you... IT WAS FANTASTIC! I ordered the Lamb & Beef Gyro, and from the very first bite I knew I'd been missing out. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked just right. They piled on the fresh vegetables, added the perfect amount of sauce, and then the owner asked a question I'd never been asked before: "Do you want it a little spicy?" Absolutely! That little kick took an already outstanding gyro to another level. Every bite hit exactly what a gyro lover hopes for. What really stood out, though, was the pride they take in their restaurant. This is a family-owned and operated business, and you can feel it from the moment you walk in. The service was warm and friendly, the restaurant was clean and inviting, and the food reflected the care they put into every order. Express Gyro absolutely knocked it out of the park. I'm kicking myself for waiting three years to stop in, but one thing is certain--I won't be waiting that long before my next visit. If you're a fellow gyro lover, do yourself a favor...don't make the same mistake I did. Stop in. You'll be glad you did.

We were looking to break out of our usual lunch routine and try something different, so we decided…read moreto order from Express Gyro in Lincoln. We ended up trying the chicken gyro and the chicken bowl. Both were really good and a refreshing break from our typical go-to meals. We don't eat Greek or Mediterranean food very often, so it was nice to experience some new flavors.I placed our order online, and the pickup process was seamless. As soon as I walked in, the employee behind the counter was incredibly polite and helpful. He immediately pointed out where to get the iced tea I had ordered and even asked if I wanted ice, taking the extra step to put it in the cup for me. He definitely didn't have to do that, but the small gesture of great customer service really stood out

From someone who's been in the industry with the same type of food for at least 25 years I can say…read morethat everything was fresh high-quality, delicious, including, but not limited to the sandwiches Salads and the hummus was absolutely delicious with the right amount of cumin.... The Sisters, Jacob, Jocelyn Act here at the Garden of Eaten are an outstanding group of people with great skills, personable, congenial, hospitable.... They are beyond their years in taking care of people. This is my second night in a row here not only because the food is quality and the staff make you welcome but because all of you will need to come and have this same experience; you will desire to tip and tip and tip some more without regret!!

Disappointing Experience Due to Food Safety Concern…read more I visited this restaurant on Wednesday for lunch. This was actually my second time dining here. My first visit was pleasant, which is why I decided to come back. This time, I ordered what I believe was the tri-tip steak wrap. As I was finishing the first half of my wrap, I noticed a dead fly in my food. Needless to say, I was shocked and immediately lost my appetite. I walked to the front and asked to speak with a manager. The cashier who helped me was very friendly and professional. I explained the situation to her, and she relayed it to the manager. While I do appreciate that they refunded my meal, what disappointed me most was the manager's response. He never came over to speak with me, apologize, or acknowledge the situation directly. From where I was standing, he appeared visibly disturbed when informed, but he simply instructed the cashier to issue a refund and never addressed me as the customer. I understand that mistakes happen and that it was a busy lunch rush. However, finding a fly in a meal is a serious food safety issue, and I believe a manager or owner should take a moment to personally speak with the customer, show concern, and offer an apology. A little empathy would have gone a long way. The refund was appreciated, but the lack of acknowledgment and customer care left a much stronger impression than the refund itself. Unfortunately, after this experience, I'm hesitant to return.
