We had a pretty yummy brunch at this location. We came in on a Sunday with quite a big party but not a huge party and the wait was pretty extensive so if you're gonna do the same thing, I would suggest calling ahead or sending somebody ahead to get on the waitlist. The pancakes were actually my favorite part of the meal. They were fluffy and well done. I asked for extra butter because that's who I am. I also had the steak and eggs with breakfast potatoes the steak was pretty good eggs were eggs and the breakfast potatoes were kind of your standard hashbrowns. A couple people in our group had the scramble and really enjoyed it. They got the junior size, which would've been plenty for most adults. I can't even imagine what the larger sizes look like. My partner had an omelette with some fresh fruit. The fruit was actually pretty fresh and the omelette was yummy. The homemade blueberry muffin was her favorite part. The coffee was fresh and plenty; our table also got one of the big cinnamon rolls, which seems to be a staple at this restaurant to share and well it didn't last very long. This is a perfect family friendly restaurant. There's something on that menu for everybody and even despite the wait, it would still be a great place to go back with any size group. Wheelchair accessibility: the parking situation for this restaurant is kind of weird, especially for this type of restaurant which has a traditionally older clientele there were very few accessible spots. In fact, parking was hard to come by at all, which I guess speaks to the popularity of the spot. But we had at least two cars that needed accessible parking, and neither of us could find it. The restaurant itself is pretty good. There's a variety of seating options with plenty that would accommodate a wheelchair. The bathroom door was OK and there was a stall that worked great with all the usual amenities involved read more

If you're looking for a solid basic breakfast with large portions at a reasonable price this is your place. You can even get a scooters coffee through the drive thru or at your table. It's comfortable and the servers are kind and efficient. I like the skillets and the baked goods are fresh baked.. read more

We had a great brunch at Summer Kitchen. I had the Denver omelette with fruit and a biscuit. The omelette was stuffed with veggies, including spinach, I think, which was unexpected but didn't detract from the dish. The melon was fresh and the biscuits hot and flakey. My companions had a potato casserole and some kind of burger, but I don't recall the details. I was probably too focused on my own meal, but they each got the morning glory muffins with their orders, which they loved. All of us enjoyed our food and had leftovers. The only downside was the noise. It was a very crowded Saturday morning, loud enough that hearing was difficult at times. Our waitress was very attentive despite the crowd, keeping our water and coffee topped up. Next time we'll come on a weekday. read more

Server was nice and checked up on us frequently, but that's about the only good part of this restaurant. The bottomless coffee was weak af, basically water. We ordered a Matcha Latte expecting something with flavor, we got hot watery milk dyed a slight green. Undrinkable. Ordered the Irish Benedict. I don't think the chef's have ever eaten anything from Ireland besides Lucky Charms. the "Poached" egg yolks were nearly cooked through, and the corned beef hash was canned corn beef with hash browns. The cinnamon roll was basically just bread with a ton of too-sweet icing. We wasted a ton of food since much of it was just bland and inedible. Overall, if you're looking for a worse Ihop, this place is for you! read more

I love summer kitchen cafe for the small town feel and for all of their breakfasts. Omg and the baked goods like cinnamon rolls and pies! Yum! I've always had fast and friendly service either dining in or driving through. The biscuits and gravy here are bomb! My entire family loves them. Oh also the soups...bye...so good! The creamy chicken noodle is legit the best soup I have ever had and I always remember it on the days they aren't serving it which is such a smart move because it makes the soup that much more delicious because you can't get it everyday. Okay...going to summer kitchen now!! read more

I have been to Summer Kitchen Cafe several times with colleagues for brunch, and even used the drive thru before to pick up a meal, and have always had a good experience! The food is affordable and yummy, and the serving size is decent. Service has always been good, and I will likely come back. read more

Soup was cold, lettuce was gross (old) no worth the money. Would not recommend this place at all. read more

Food options are really good for breakfast or lunch. I ordered their chicken stirfry lighter fare. I thought the chicken was very thin, not much to it, and there were plenty of vegetables with rice. It was flavorful and light. It came with a choice of muffin or dinner roll, which I got blueberry muffin. That is very moist and yummy!!! Our service was quick and friendly. Before you leave at the counter is fresh baked desserts to go! They also have some handcraft items for sale. read more

This was a great no frills brunch spot, with a HUGE menu to choose from! Their bakery is excellent, and I loved my meal. Nothing spectacular, but a good and large sized brunch. Our server did a good job, despite the place being packed--we were lucky to get a 4 top with a 10 minute wait on Saturday at 10am. My only complaint is the cost of my meal--$30 (including tip) as I was charged an extra $4 for the eggs I was subbing for hashbrowns, and $1.50 for blueberry instead of plain pancakes. This isn't a huge deal but the server could have mentioned that subbing eggs for hashbrowns is $4 when they are the same price on the menu so I assumed it didn't come with a cost (same with the pancake prices). Just something to know if you stop in, but I would definitely come back and just order differently! read more

Got lunch here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. So good! I got the half Club sandwich with the soup of the day (Chicken & wild rice). Everything was amazing! read more

Great food, great service. Mainly breakfast foods but the have some lunch options also. They also have baked goods. Very comfortable place

You can immediately tell this is a local favorite. Traveling you never know what you may find. This was a breakfast gem. Big menu with lots of choices, friendly service and a bakery that seems to work overtime. We were there on a Saturday morning and the place was full with a few families waiting for tables. Seated quickly. Glad we found this. read more

Ordered the country fried steak plate. Comes with scrambled eggs, hash browns, bite size chicken fried steak and white gravy. $15.97. Large portions. Delicious. read more

I've been coming here since I was little so I probably have a bit of nostalgia bias. Don't expect anything special & gourmet from here, but the food will satisfy. It usually gets pretty loud in here, and the service can be average. But the food typically comes out fast. The main events here are the cinnamon roll (one of my favorite cinnamon rolls around), AND the coffee! There are so many coffee flavors to choose from, and they have pumpkin all year round (YAY!). The coffee also has a drive thru, and, in my opinion, it is very underrated. read more

My favorite for lunch. Love the potato casarole, but this last time I was served "rubber" chicken. Must have came out of a can. It was rubbery and had no taste. It will be a while before I go back - very disappointing read more

Summer kitchen is an easy going brunch spot with a HUGE menu great for a big group of picky people!! Everything is pretty much what you would expect from a sit down breakfast joint. I didn't love the hollandaise sauce definitely tastes store bought but the chicken fried steak was crispy and the gravy was very good! We also got a pecan sticky roll on our way out from the bakery section that was to die for!!! Service was fine. read more

Brunch was "ok" service was not what I'm used to but Dean loves his "pancake sammich" ..that never disappoints ...my quiche was just "ok" the crust was a bit undercooked ...the soup was not minestrone..it was more like vegetable noodle..it was hard to finish ..COFFEE was nice and HOT...muffin was fresh and good size ...I took quiche home to cook it longer...it's kind of hit or miss spot.Great location to get us out of the cold for a while when you're out and about. read more

The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely on point! On top of that, one of the employees made a **pink teddy bear** for my little niece, and she was over the moon about it. It's not every day you find a place where the staff goes out of their way to create something so thoughtful and special. If you're looking for a gift made with love--or just a great meal in a warm, welcoming atmosphere--**this is the place**. I love it here and will definitely be back! read more

$17.00 for a jr chef salad - where's the cheese, where's the egg where's the meat - I could have done this better at home. And 3.00 for 12 oz soda would have NEVER got it! I call this a dinner salad!!! Just really disappointed, this was my splurge, was hoping for a nice fresh put together with good content. My bad knowing ordering salads out is a very bad idea! read more

Stopped in and grabbed a cinnamon roll and a pecan roll. Ate the pecan roll and they don't skip on the pecans. The roll itself was just ok though. Hopefully the regular cinnamon roll is better. I haven't tried any of the other food yet. read more

Summer kitchen has been a staple in my family for over 15 years. Their food is delicious and reminds me of grandmas cooking! The servers are fast and friendly and several have been around for years which makes the experience even more inviting. Our food came out quickly and we enjoyed every bite. My only wish is they spice up the menu slightly as things haven't changed much over the years. read more

I love anywhere that I can have breakfast for dinner! I had the Denver potato casserole and my kids ordered the cow poke (eggs, pancakes sausage and bacon) from the kids menu. The portions were rather large as we all took food home with us! The service was also good! Although we were all full, we couldn't resist the desserts on the way out! We had the chocolate cake but everything looked delicious! This is definitely somewhere we will eat again! read more

Picked up a potato casserole today and was so disappointed when I got home. It was supposed to be a king size but looked more like a small. It was about a cup of potatoes, a few tablespoons of ham with 8 broccoli crowns. Usually a king will feed two with extras, not the case. Also got a blueberry muffin with not a single blueberry. Fail! read more

Lunch on a Friday was packed. So this must be a good place to eat. I've been here before, many years ago. Breakfast is their thing. Lunch for me was a Crispy Chicken Strip Salad with blue cheese dressing and a dinner roll. To say it was average is stretching it. It was just OK, but the blue cheese dressing was nothing special and the reheated, tough, spongy dinner roll was a waste of flour and yeast. So two-star is the rating. Best I can do. read more

Good home cooked food, staff are friendly. Very casual dining and lots of space for big groups.

Good place near I80 for us to stop at 6:30 AM for a good breakfast while going cross country. Friendly quick service. Clean.

This place is CLEAN and NICE !! The food is made from scratch which is rare now for breakfast! I had one of the homemade muffins and it was so good! The service was really good and they were all friendly. You can tell they take pride in this place of business. We are traveling and stayed at the hotel next to the restaurant so we tried it out. So happy we did! So if you're traveling and you need a place to eat off of I80 it's a great place to stop! read more

This was our first time visiting Summer Kitchen Cafe, but it will NOT be our last. We have stayed at the hotel next door a couple other times but didn't think to try out the cafe. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, the server was very friendly. We didn't have to wait long for the food at all. We highly recommend Summer Kitchen Cafe and Bakery. On our next visit to Omaha, will will eat at least one meal there...maybe more because there is a wide variety to choose from. read more

Overall quality and end result of products vary WILDLY here. It's a crapshoot what you'll get here, no matter how many times you order the same item. (Ex. I loooove me a good latte, but the end result is never the same from visit to visit.) It's also a massive bummer that they're a legitimate "Scooters" but refuse the app, coupons and gift cards. I definitely find myself going out of the way to use other more consistent and convenient locations. read more

First time to this location. Service was fairly good, restaurant was clean and inviting. I got the prime rib sandwich and fries. The sandwich was pretty salty so I only ate one half. I loved the fries and ate them all. My husband had a breakfast burrito and said it was good. I tried his hashbrowns and was envious because they were awesome and crispy. My father in law had one of the hashes with a raspberry muffin and said it was good as well. No wait upon arrival, seated promptly and the desserts were in full tempting view! read more

I have dined at Summer Kitchen for years but haven't been back for a while, so I finally wet back today. I called my drive thru order in ahead of time and they said it would be ready in "15-20 minutes". I arrived to find 5 care in line but most people had appeared to also called in before hand and the line went quickly. I noticed the car in front of me had not, but they had him pull around the corner to a door where his order would be delivered when ready. When I got up to the window my order was there and took it home. I ordered the Omaha Potato Casserole and it was simply delightful. The Omaha comes with Ground Beef, and the rest is like a Cheese Burger Casserole. The onions were sautéed, there was an abundance of Cheeses and the pickles were an interesting addition. They have Omelettes that are similar, and dinner menus that I will have to try. The last time here I had the Monte Cristo which was wonderful. I wii be back. read more

Good country cooking. I enjoyed it and will likely be back. Nothing was missing here.

Been to the drive thru for a quick dinner . You can order a variety of items that are on their menu . The BLT sandwich is my go to as it's quick and easy . Plenty of bacon , fresh tomatoes and a bed of lettuce . I probably could do without the mayo but it's just a personal preference. Fries or fruit , I can never decide . Fries are nothing special but good enough . They give way many of them so I can finish . Fresh fruit is cut with the skin still on which could be. A good or bad thing . I feel it looks like you get more then you really do . On this occasion the pineapple was good but most of it was the skin so only got a few small bites from it . Waited about 10 minutes behind the store for my food , service was good and they were friendly . Definitely will be back . read more
