Came here for brunch and overall thought it was just okay. They did get our large order out quickly and correctly (even with modifications) but I wasn't overly impressed by the food itself. My omelette was alright - the eggs felt pretty thick and the cheese on top wasn't the most appetizing. The chicken salad sandwich was a favorite of the group, as was the chili. I would probably give it another chance and try something other than an omelette. The servers were nice and helpful, and it is a nice and easy place to navigate with a wheelchair which is always a plus. Big portions as well.

Great breakfast and treats!! I love getting their lattes when visiting as well. Their service is always great and food comes out fast!

Chicken and ham sandwich, steamed veggies

I've heard great things about this spot and it did not disappoint! My only regret was my own fault--ordering off of the lunch vs. brunch menu. Someone else in my party got cinnamon roll French toast and the smell alone will bring me back again to try this dish!! The sandwich was great, and I especially appreciate the great flavor and perfect texture of the steamed veggie side. Very fast service and inviting/casual atmosphere. Just what I heard!

Option 2 Breakfast Sandwich

Butter. Better. Weird coincidence, sound the same? Real Ingredients is the best win here. Summers Kitchen has the best Waffle-in-town, according to the 3.5' tall waffle expert in my family. She's tried them all. We keep coming back here. I get the Option 2 Breakfast Sandwich. Sausage is real fresh. Has Mayo by default which melts some...kapoww...perfect. Always hot. Not losing any calories but I'm a sucker for savory breakfast. Tons of coffee options. I'm not a big flavored coffee fan but it smells good. Service is always good. Fast and fresh in the drive thru. Pleasant inside the store. Just a consistently good experience.

I was looking for a lunch place for the cold windy day and decided on this one and boy was I glad. Got the creamy baked potato soup which was to die for and the southwestern chicken sandwich. Cant wait to make this my new lunch spot!!

SUPER nice and hard working staff. Cute and quaint little place. HUGE menu. Huge portion sizes. Everything was awesome.

bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast

What a great little spot! Our first time there was great, a Monday morning and empty on the inside. I loved the people working, it almost felt like a small town cafe because they knew so many peoples names and orders. The breakfast was yummy! I would definitely go back. I wish I would have tried this sooner!

Fresh ingredients, and big portions. Can't go wrong! We carried out due to Covid19 and it was still very good at home.

This time I went with my son and, while he loves the Scooters smoothies, neither of us were impressed with the Summer Kitchen items.

The Rusty Nail is a nice little hometown bar that feels like it's great for the "regulars" who…read morefrequent there, and also for everyone else for an odd game or two that you want to catch in a nice sports bar style setting. It's a little old fashioned in the ambiance and layout, with a split level design that has the bar and a few booths in the lower section and a large open area with free standing tables/chairs in the upper area. It has a lot of wood features, a concrete style floor, and LOTS of TVs (even some that are in the booth with you), which makes it a great place for watching a big game. It can get pretty crowded in there on a weekend or big game day, so definitely plan for that/get there early. They also do karaoke and music bingo on certain nights of the week too, so if you like those types of activities, check out their calendar for upcoming events. The service and food are excellent from what we've experienced. They are always checking on if you need another drink/refill or any of your plates cleared away. The beer and drinks are served extra cold and crisp, so they're definitely doing something right behind the bar. In terms of food, it's definitely bar fare, but it hits the spot if you've been there for a while watching a game or out with friends drinking. We've had a lot of different things: -Spicy Fried Cheese Bites: I am a cheese lover and these were great, but they were a little TOO spicy for this wimpy girl. I still liked them, especially with the marinara sauce provided, but just be aware and believe them when they say "spicy" fried cheese. -Fried Green Beans: I LOVE fried green beans, and if you do too you know that they're not a super easy thing to find at Omaha restaurants anymore. So if you are a fan, definitely get these. They are the standard fried green beans, served with ranch, but they hit the spot for this fried green bean lover. -Garlic Cheese Bread: This is basically a smaller version of the cheese pizza that you can order, but with a little side of marinara sauce and cut into strips for you to share. Classic item that you will know if you like or not, based on your preferences. -Boneless Wings: I am an adult toddler who prefers boneless wings over bone in wings, and they have a teriyaki sauce option (which is my favorite and not too many places have it on their main menu). They never come super incredibly well dressed in the sauce, but I appreciate that they offer both boneless wings and teriyaki sauce. -Rusty Mac and Cheese: This is a pretty big bowl of Mac and Cheese so it can be an entire meal if you're not too hungry for protein. The cheese sauce is white cheddar and gouda, which work well together, and it comes with diced bacon on top. You can add a sauce as a topper for free, but any additional protein, like chicken, pulled pork, etc - will run you $2-$3. So it's a nice big bowl of Mac and Cheese with another sauce if you want to add it and it can be a little more hearty if you add another protein. -Pizza: They have pretty good pizzas in a lot of the standard flavors - supreme, pepperoni, beef. A good option if you're a pizza lover and want a good bar pizza. -Reuben: Reubens are a big thing here in Omaha and there are some that people love and others hate. This one was pretty in between, with a not too offensive sauerkraut flavor, well cooked corned beef, and a melty topping of 1000 Island and Swiss Cheese all on rye toast slices. You can get Reubens a lot of places in Omaha, but this one is most similar to an age old classic style Reuben. For Desserts, we've tried their dessert pizzas, or Dessert-Zas. They are similar to a streusel dessert in a pizza shape, and come in either a cherry topping or apple topping. We've tried both toppings actually and both are pretty good. You definitely have to be a cinnamon and streusel fan, and I definitely recommend adding one of the fruit toppings! Next time you're thinking about going out to catch the big game or just for a fun night of drinking/karaoke, I think you should give Rusty Nail a try and see if you enjoy the ambiance and food - it may become a new option for you the next-next time you're looking for a fun bar.

This place has been here forever. Been coming here since I was in my 20s and still coming back. It…read moredoes help that it's right across from where I work, but it also helps that the prices are very reasonable. You're not expecting high class dining, but you do want what you're eating to be filling for the lower price. I ordered the cheesesteak and it was very good. I was surprised how fast it came out as usually it takes a while when others are also there, so that was nice. It's a good place to go to for a quick bite and drink after work, but also for a late night drink too.

Suffice to say (before reading my long review) it was not on par with the L street location! The staff were definitely new and learning the menu, but that is to be expected any time a new place is freshly opened. Our server, Blake, was nice though and was learning fast. But with a few other servers, there was one thing that did not come about from being a server in a new restaurant. We were eating and could CLEARLY hear the staff around the corner talking loudly and cursing left and right. I am not a prude about language but it's just not something you see every day at a restaurant with families/kids dining. The size of the restaurant seems a little smaller than the L street location, too. That may be a psychosomatic thing when trying a different location of a place you know, but I definitely felt more cramped. The food is on par with the OG spot, so no complaints there. My usual is the bourbon glazed salmon with the cheesy broccoli on the side. So it was just as tasty as the other location, but I think I'll stick to the L street one mostly going forward.

We were seated right away, got some fantastic drinks (blackberry mule & lemon drop martini were fabulous!), appetizers were great, salads served with a fresh croissant, the steaks were perfection and the corn was crisp, sweet and delicious! Got our dessert to go and was pleasantly surprised with the pineapple upside down cake and vanilla ice-cream back at our room. Would most definitely dine there again!!

I just left your restaurant after working a corporate event for my massage business, and I am…read moreextremely disappointed by the service and the way I was treated. I was dining alone and sat for more than 30 minutes without receiving my food while customers who were seated after me received theirs. The table next to me ordered steak, as I did, and their food was brought out from the kitchen with a grand presentation. Another table that was seated later also received their food while I continued to sit without mine. What concerned me most was what I observed while waiting. I saw a female employee holding my ticket while the other tickets were up on the line. I brought this to my server's attention, and after my server went to inquire about my order, I observed three employees laughing among themselves. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable waiting for or eating the food. I did not make a scene, raise my voice, or argue with anyone. I simply asked the host for my check so that I could pay for my drink--which I left nearly full on the table--and leave. When a customer watches other guests who arrived after them receive their meals while their own order appears to be deliberately delayed, and then sees employees laughing after the issue is questioned, it creates a serious loss of trust. By that point, I was no longer comfortable accepting food from the kitchen because I could not feel confident about how my order would be handled. I am very disappointed that my experience reached that point. I came in simply wanting to have a meal after working an event. Instead, I left without eating and feeling as though I had been treated differently from the other customers around me. I hope management takes the time to review what happened, speak with the employees who were working, and determine why my order was handled this way. No customer should have to sit quietly watching everyone around them being served and wonder why they are being treated differently.
