    Omelette, potatoes, sourdough bread, iced tea
    Richard S.

    What a great, small town feel full of regulars and visitors and simple, tasty, fresh food. I had an omelette, potatoes and bread. Normally I smother my meals in ketchup or sauce to add flavor but I didn't have to. It was scrumptious right from the kitchen! The staff was super friendly and great at what they do. What a gem of an experience.

    Steak and potatos
    Angela D.

    Such a cute, hometown feel little place. Right when we walked in I felt welcomed and could tell that there were lots of regulars that loved this place as well. My husband and I came in on a week day with our 2 toddlers. Luckily there was a table in the back and they have high chairs as well. Here's what we ordered: Vanilla latte w/almond milk: absolutely delicious and much needed pick me up Avocado toast: was good, not my favorite because it had orange zest and lots of sirracha. But still not bad. Steak and eggs: my husband loved it, well seasoned and cooked perfectly Kids pancake breakfast: inhaled by the kids so high points as well We will definitely be back, and be recommending it to anyone that is looking for a Lincoln staple.

    Grass Roots

    We've been coming here for over twenty years and it's always sssooo good! Unfortunately, I posted my review under their catering page on Yelp many moons ago and now there's the listing for their restaurant. We always come for lunch and the Grass Root's sandwich is so darn good, we're all hooked! We've tried almost every sandwich here and they're all winners! They have the best homemade soups, sandwiches and fresh baked desserts. They recently started opening on the weekends too so that's a dream come true! Highly recommend you try Simple Pleasures, you'll be hooked!

    Nutty Irishman Salad added chicken
    Jason S.

    This was a solid spot we ate for lunch yesterday in downtown Lincoln. Pretty cool location that seems it has been here for years that has seating inside and outside in the back. Service was a 5 star for sure and everyone that works here was super friendly and nice as well as very attentive. Food was also very solid. It wasn't over the top but what we ordered was executed and done very well. My salad that I had was the nutty Irishmen which was mixed greens, feta cheese, candied pecans and dried cranberries with added chicken. My wife had a BLT with added turkey. Both were very good and would for sure go back and try some of their other selections. Plus next time I would save room for some of their homemade desserts or pastry selections.

    So we were greeted immediately; told we could sit anywhere we like. Nice! Our server delivered our coffee and asked if we were ready to order.... I said I had a question. I asked which is more popular, the ricotta and berry pancakes with sausage or the biscuits and gravy. She said hold on, I'll be right back. The server disappeared momentarily and returned with a sample of gravy! Wow! What service. The gravy was good, but since I tried it I decided to go with the pancakes... As we waited we soaked up the old fashioned feel and ambiance of the place and enjoyed looking at the artwork that adorned the walls, which by the way is for sale. Breakfast was BOMB! Those ricotta berry cakes were awesome. The coffee was hot and tasty. The service was great! Overall, all I can say is that I highly recommend this place!!!

    I've had sandwiches from Mr Pickle's at other locations. This was my first time in Lincoln…read more Placing an order online for take-out was simple. The menu is fairly comprehensive. Looking at all my favorite deli meat options, beef, pastrami, ham, etc. I was "good" and headed for the vegetarian options. They have salads too. I selected a Deli Veggie Sandwich on my selection of marble rye bread and pepper jack cheese. That was $10.99 which these days isn't that bad for a sandwich. At the last minute before checking out I added the macaroni salad. For $3.69 it was tasty enough but a bit overpriced when you can get much more for slightly more in price at a nearby supermarket, if you want to make an additional stop. There's a small parking lot in back, which is convenient. The place is kinda cute on the outside as it looks like a small, simple shack. Inside the place is rather dark and dismal so I wouldn't eat there. There's a small outdoor eating area as well, and although rather exposed to the elements it might be a better choice than indoors if you plan on eating there. The staff were efficient enough, and more matter of fact than friendly in their greeting. It was pointed out to me to get the macaroni salad out of the self-service refrigerator. Now I know the drill in picking up a take out order. The sandwich itself was quite good. All of the ingredients were fresh and crisp. It was nicely prepared and the bread was also fresh and delicious. I was pleased with the size and tastiness. They have sandwich size options too. I'd go back when a sandwich craving hits. Overall, except for the physical appearance of the place, it's not that bad. Putting it in perspective it is a sandwich shop after all. Overall, I do recommend it.

However, a quick dinner one night with my friend and that changed everything. She was craving a French dip.... and how can you go wrong with a French dip? We popped in, and thankfully, they weren't busy. We each got the french dip sandwich with Chipotle mayo on the cheese bread. It is roast beef, provolone cheese, and chipotle mayo. I added onions on mine. We drove back to my girls house and dug in. Now, please refer to my picture below and check out that cheese pull! So gorgeous! It was pretty delicious. Togo's gave us more than enough au jus. I love that the au jus and sandwich didn't taste too salty. The meat comes well done, but I've never had an issue with that whenever it comes to a French dip. If this were a steak, it better be moo-ing! The girl who made them was super sweet. I like that she gave me the option to add other sandwich fixings. For me, onions are a must!

First off, if your specialty are sandwiches - it better be above average. The sandwich I had today was far below that. When the man grabbed the foot long bread. I should've known by the dark brown crust. I'd ordered my usual veggie sandwich, and expected it to be brimming with veggies. I asked for sweet onion and mustard for condiments. Somehow, only the former was dripped on. After completing the sandwich, he asked me a question. I, in turn, asked him if he could put lettuce on, because the sandwich did not look full at all. He replied he did, and revealed the bottom layer, of a single layer of shredded iceberg lettuce. I got home and opened the dark brown crusty, foot long sandwich. And my gosh, whatever slivers and slices of veggies inside, were dwarfed by the size of the almost burnt bread. They were so scant, I had to add my own veggies from home. And for the first time, even the sliced tomatoes were missing. And even after removing the dark brown, outer layer crust of the bread - the inner bread was still very dry - revealing how over baked the bread was, smh... It's not that difficult to make a good sandwich. But, at this Subway location, they've managed to make the worst sandwich I've ever had.
