    Dragon fruit mule
    Gretchen T.

    Came here for Wagyu Wednesday after work and it wasn't too busy at around 6:00. I ordered the dragon fruit mule and it was sweet with a hint of ginger. It came with a slice of dried dragon fruit as a garnish. The burger was pretty hefty, two smash patties. I added lettuce, pickle, and onion for $1, worth it because the burger and cheese alone is pretty salty, so the other stuff balances it out a bit. The fries were nice and crispy and salty as well. Totally worth the price, I think.

    The Copper Kettle is the perfect switch up on/near O street. It sets itself apart from nearby bars because of their specialization on Moscow Mules and through the ambiance of the spot. It's a much more chill and slightly more upscale spot to grab a drink than nearby bars. The mellow vibes are enhanced through the service keeping things very laid back and enjoyable. The mules are always great, I've tried a few different flavors and enjoy all of them. Their light snacks are also perfect for a happy hour or hold over before going somewhere else.

    The vegan tacos sounded good, so I dropped in for dinner and was not disappointed. It's a cute restaurant and bar with good service and I'd definitely recommend it. The dip with my fries was so good! I loved the vegan sweet potato tacos and I don't always love vegan food.

    We had the worst service, got billed for food never received and we got billed for there tip of 20% after complaining about there poor service and food never received.

    Superb invention: the Cromelette. This was worth the trip to Lincoln alone. It spoke to my breakfast-loving heart.

    Spiced Pear Mule
    Andrew W.

    The ambiance of old-school bar/lounge with soft pop/rock was welcoming. With only a couple tables occupied, it was open seating. I ordered a mule (you kind of have to) and received my Spiced Pear Mule in minutes. It was delicious! Being Wednesday night, I ordered the Waygu burger with crispy bacon and kettle sauce. It came out in a reasonable time, was well cooked with crispy bacon (that doesn't always happen even when you ask) along with a healthy portion of seasoned fries and kettle queso for dipping. I recommend and will be back.

    Super cool concept! Got the El Burro [tequila, homemade ginger beer and lime] and it was very tasty. Their ginger beer isn't overly sweet; it has a really nice spice to it. Cute interior too! If I lived in Lincoln, I'd come down all the time

Every visit seems to create another unforgettable memory. One of my clients' families especially loved kids' night, and it turned into such a fun and memorable experience for them. As for my own family, we've learned to schedule later dinner reservations because once we're there, it's hard to leave! Some of my sweetest memories are from bringing my mother here while she was still with us. We often ended up being the last ones there at closing because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Kevin and his staff were always incredibly gracious, never making us feel rushed, and consistently treating us like family. That kindness leaves a lasting impression. Reading some of the less-than-positive reviews honestly surprises me because our experience over the years has been consistently wonderful. We've always received excellent service, enjoyed the entertainment, appreciated the comfortable atmosphere and beautiful views from every table, and loved the nostalgia throughout the restaurant and memorabilia. And the food? Absolutely enjoyable every time. Considering the unique experience, atmosphere, entertainment, and very reasonable pricing, I think expectations should be balanced accordingly. Personally, I genuinely enjoy the food here -- often more than at many other restaurants in town. This place is special, and we will continue making memories here for years to come.

    As an Elite Yelp Reviewer, I seldom, if ever rate something one star. To achieve that low of a…read morerating the establishment has to miss on every category - food, service,, and the theme or mission of their place (when they have one). Screamers Family Restaurant, unfortunately, forced me to rate them a single star for those very reasons. We wanted to try it as we'd heard from a friend or two that it was good. And to be fair, my harsh review is just "my opinion". The establishment was very busy when we entered with mostly families, many of multiple generations. Our table for our party of four was located near the front, by the check-in and the bar, was two nondescript square tables, pushed together and basic metal chairs with a slight pad on the seat and back. Nothing special, just functional. Our server took a while to appear. Maybe she was "performing". Screamers is a "musical performance restaurant" where the servers take turns grabbing the mic and belting out loud (and not always good) show tunes and songs from the theater performances they've done in their "other job". I expected really good vocals. Only one of four had that. And It was very loud. And that's not something I generally note in my reviews. I believe a loud restaurant is one where people are enjoying themselves. In this case the restaurant was loud because the servers made it so by screaming into the mic...hence the name? Once our server arrived, we ordered appetizers. She raved about their wings, so we went for them. I specifically and carefully explained to her that I wanted 12 wings "naked" with two sauces on the side - BBQ and Buffalo. I also asked for both Ranch and Blue Cheese for dipping. In about 15 minutes what arrived was 12 wings - 6 tossed in BBQ and six in Buffalo with two servings of Ranch on the side. A total miss. I mentioned it to her and she said - "Oh, I'm sorry about that." - and then exited. I was dumbfounded. In two minutes she was "screaming" into the mic. I wondered....is she here to serve or sing? She seems unable to do both. With atmosphere, service, and theme covered - let's get to the food. We ordered two grilled salmon, "Prime" rib, and meatloaf. The salmon was overdone, but looked good. The potatoes and fries served with each were acceptable. The "Prime" rib was a tough piece of beef rib that was almost inedible. My order - their "famous" meatloaf was not good at all. First of all, it was sliced into rectangular medallions that were then microwaved and topped with a fairly tasteless tomato sauce. This is the first time I've EVER had meatloaf that was sliced, reheated and then covered to the point of no recognition with sauce...at least place it under the broiler and sear the sauce to the top! Now with all of this said, I'm sure the owners of Screamers are good people with great hopes and intentions. And the reviews we've heard from others were that the place was good. So maybe I experienced the perfect storm...or maybe my expectations are just too high and others have much lower expectations and are happy here. But my belief is that I need to be honest in my opinion. I worked in a steakhouse in my college years. Met my wife there. I'm a foodie and I love trying new restaurants. I tried Screamers Family Restaurant and I don't think I'll try it again. It was a rare "One-Star" for me. You may feel differently if you try it. To each his own.

    For many years, The Eatery has been a fixture in east-central Lincoln. I'd heard plenty of positive…read morecomments about the restaurant over the years, so I finally decided to stop in for lunch and see what it was all about. Unfortunately, the first impression could use some improvement. Upon entering, guests step into a small lobby with two interior doors--one designated as the entrance and the other as the exit. Once inside, a host greets you, hands you a menu, and escorts you to your table. Along the way, you pass the restaurant's salad bar, which should serve as an inviting showcase of the food offered inside. Instead, the salad bar was the low point of my visit. On the day I was there, it appeared messy and poorly maintained. A salad bar requires constant attention to keep it looking fresh, attractive, and clean, and that simply wasn't the case during my visit. Given its prominent location, it creates an impression that management should work harder to improve. The Eatery's menu, however, is extensive and impressive. There's truly something for everyone. The unlimited salad bar is priced at $14.99, or $7.99 when added to an entrée. Based on what I observed, that seemed a bit steep, so I decided to pass. Instead, I ordered the Smokey Chicken Stacker with fries on the recommendation of my server. It turned out to be an excellent choice. The sandwich was flavorful, the fries were perfectly prepared, and the meal arrived at my table less than ten minutes after ordering--a testament to an efficient kitchen. Overall, I came away believing that The Eatery serves solid food, but the décor, atmosphere, and overall layout feel somewhat dated and uninspiring. The appearance of the salad bar was the biggest negative of the experience for me. Would I return? If I lived or worked in the neighborhood, probably yes. However, since I don't, it's unlikely that I would make a special trip back.

The Reading Rainbow has a hearty portion of peanut butter on it, combined with their version of jelly, making this burger extremely filling. Now to the fries, and reason for 4 stars. 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. Overall, I'd be willing to give Honest Abe's another try for their sides and try another burger to see how it compares!
