The food is very fresh and delicious. Service is great & service. We enjoyed breakfast but also tried the cinnamon roll. Oh boy, excellent !! read more

Small town diner feel in a strip mall. Seat yourself and pay at the counter when you are finished. Pros: Well staffed with an extremely friendly and attentive crew that were never seen standing around. - quick and frequent service. The ladies here have a great work flow. Discount for paying cash Large portions, properly cooked food Not overly noisy Multiple jelly options for toast Cons: Limited seating menus do not reflect current prices (a sign on the front door notifies guests that they are waiting on new menus) Minor errors with drink orders (received extra coffee, did not receive water, no biggie) Was not given a receipt before or after transaction. Weak coffee (personal preference) Overall I recommend. Woodees delivered beautifully on exactly what it is; a no frills local diner. Morning woodees, Woodees omelet, 2 coffees, large orange juice $33 (excl tip) read more

Fantastic food and great people who work there! Always so nice to stop here for breakfast whenever we are in Lincoln.

Hometown kind of restaurant. Friendly, fast & fun service. Great prices. Nothing fancy, but worth the time to stop and enjoy.

Amazing food and service. They give you a great portion of food and all comes out hot and fresh. Chicken fried steak and Meat eaters omelette are the go to! read more

Food is great but service is slow. It's a family buisness for sure so can't complain much about that. It feels homey in there read more

A Ruben omelette ! Oh my goodness... you are wondering what that taste explosion would be like aren't you? Just do it! Wonderful. Even better was our Server Ramona! She was amazing! read more

it took too long to get our food. Not a very friendly staff. I would like to know they charged us a service charge, if i had known that i wouldn't have left a tip. the other places we have eaten didn't charge a service charge. i'm not sure that is legal. they just lost a customer. bye bye i shoudn't even give it one star read more

Went there for the first time on Friday, I ordered the special, hot roast beef sandwich with homemade mashed potatoes and fresh cooked carrots, it was the best, I'm writing this review on Monday because I'm still thinking about it! The staff was very friendly, the place is small but We were able to get a table right away. Wednesday's special is fried chicken, can't wait! read more

Can't beat a local breakfast place. Everything ordered came out hot and delicious. Enjoyed the haystack.

Very nice and friendly little cafe. I have been there a few times for breakfast and is always very satisfied. Nothing fancy but good food. Woodees will be my favorite breakfast place for a long time. read more

This place is one of the best hole in the wall breakfast joints I've ever stumbled upon! The staff were so kind and attentive, the small space felt so welcoming and homey, and the food was PHENOMENAL. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and they did not disappoint. The cook sat down to take my order, gave helpful suggestions as I was a first timer, and remembered me by name. I highly recommend Woodees! read more

What a great spot. Neighborhood restaurant vibe with mature, high functioning staff. Great food, great prices, great service. Appeared to have many regular customers. I definitely would be one if I lived in Lincoln. read more

Woodees - Great food and a sense of humor. The "Woodee" is two eggs, choice of meat, hash browns or a darn good pancake plus toast!! - American Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Breakfast burrito was amazing. The food is always delicious however one of my pet peeves is when waiter doesn't come back halfway through to ask how my meal is or if I need anything else. Please train staff to wait better on customers read more

Waitress: Check your toast, it feels a little cold.... Me: So, you touched my toast? Waitress: Mumbled something and walked away, then gossiped about me to the other waitresses and told them to take care of me.... Question, Why not just get some hot toast instead of telling me that you felt that it was cold? Weird and disgusting, I won't be back. read more

I asked a local for a local breakfast spot and I got a local breakfast spot run by the locals and inhabited by the locals. From the Nebraska Cornhusker memorabilia adorning the walls to the waitresses that knew all the customers by name. It was the kind of place you imagine when I say, "Hey! Meet me at Woodees and let's talk Husker football and how this darn weather is killing the crops!" Yep. Exactly what you'd imagine. The service was super friendly and attentive - my coffee cup never runeth half empty before they were offering a refill. The food was cheap. And good! Have you ever had a veggie omelet stuffed with hash browns before? I have. And if you go to Woodees, you can too. I recommend if you're a tourist looking for a little local flavor or if you're a local looking to escape tourists. 5 stars. read more

Woodees - Veggie omelet. Stuff with hash browns. Did I eat that? Yep. - American Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Local breakfast place in Lincoln, Nebraska. It's small, ordinary and very crowded. But, it's not crowded because of the food and service. It's crowded because virtually all the customers are elderly. They come in, spend about six dollars on breakfast and then they don't leave. They just sit and visit and drink coffee. They honestly sit and occupy a table for two hours. I can't imagine this place actually makes any money without turning around the customers. Oh well. Again the food and service is just ordinary. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

This place is great! We came to Lincoln to watch a Husker Women's basketball game and the next morning were looking for a good place to eat breakfast. When we travel we try to find new places that aren't "chain" restaurants. We found a gem. Woodees has great service, great food, reasonable prices, and everyone is so friendly. A small "mom and pop" restaurant that used to be the norm and unfortunately we see less and less of now. We will definitely be back. read more

I was recommended this place by several close friends and finally decided to take my kids and myself for breakfast.. As soon as we came in the server made eye contact and didn't acknowledge and headed behind the counter.. we looked around and all the tables were dirty and then we heard her say sit anywhere.. I replied all the tables are dirty.. and she replied well then you will have to wait.. and I replied that's what we are doing.. by then I felt like this just wasn't the place for us.. so we left and she came and yelled as we were walking out that she would clean a table.. Nah we are good!!!! very very disappointed. read more

Excellent food, menu options, and service!! The venue is small but clean and tidy. I didn't finish my food because I can only eat certain foods due to my high blood pressure. The waitress and the cook himself came out to make sure everything was OK with the food. I felt very taken care of. The food was amazing! I had a cheeseburger with coleslaw- the coleslaw was made in house and it was absolutely fabulous!! I will definitely return and I will bring my family next time! So yummy! read more

My husband and I stopped in for breakfast. The restaurant is run by a family. The food was really tasty and the prices were very reasonable. The service was also great. We will be stopping by anytime we are in Lincoln, NE. read more

Really has the traditional diner atmosphere. Very generous portions for what it costs.

I'm so glad we live so far from this place or we'd be here everyday if we could & I can't eat like this every day! Best breakfast in a long time! I had the Woodee's stack (perfect hash browns & fluffy biscuit topped with sausage gravy, scrambled eggs and 2 sausage patties!!). Hubby had the Reuben omelette with Rye toast, you just have to try it! Great service & great prices too! read more

Great place for breakfast. I had the Italian Omelette. Fabulous. Add the gray to the hash browns. Will come back.

I stayed in Lincoln for 10 days last month, and had breakfast there nearly every day. I can't comment on lunch or dinner, but breakfast was decent. It's your typical diner food - on the greasy side, basic eggs, hash browns, toast, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy. The food is decent, and you can get in and out quickly. The prices are reasonable, but the service was tremendous. On day 1, we had 4 coffees with 4 waters, and ran out of cream and sugar. From then on, when we walked in and sat down, the waitress would bring us 4 coffees and 4 waters, with a bowl of creamers and a bowl of sugars. I had the same thing most days - two eggs, hash browns, toast, and sausage. It was $6 and pretty decent. I did have a breakfast sandwich one day, which was fine (too much bread, but what can you do?), and the guys that got pancakes were happy with them. It's convenient because it's right at the Days Inn (which is where we were staying), and the people were super nice. read more

We found ourselves on the road in need of breakfast before the travel centers were open. Yelp let us to Woodees, which turned out to be a lovely little breakfast spot. Super simple in decor, but lush in service, personality, and delicious food. This will be our new breakfasting spot whenever we travel from Colorado to Michigan. read more

Had a limited menu due to staffing issues but amazing food and amazing staff. We walked in visibly hungover and they staff gave my friend a hangover drink read more

A neighborhood restaurant serving home cooked traditional food. Very attentive sweet staff. The dining room is small so a wait is inevitable if you are there into breakfast hours. The food is on the salty side but good. We went for breakfast. My husband had the breakfast sandwich and I the breakfast special. We did not wait long for our food. Prices were kinda high but not out of park. If your craving a home cooked meal, this is your place! read more

This is our favorite breakfast spot in town. The biscuits with gravy are excellent, same for everything thing else I have had at Woodees. They serve a big plate of food for a very reasonable price. There is a white board on the wall that has daily specials that give you a few more choices besides the breakfast menu. Good food, good service, and friendly folks, will keep me coming back! read more

If you are the least bit concerned about Covid 19 do NOT go here. Tables not 6' apart, no gloves or masks on any servers or anyone in the kitchen, owner walking around tables and in kitchen flossing her teeth, food on menus,. I think the food was ok but we were in a hurry to get out. We will not return. read more

Not at address listed above. 1240 W O St Lincoln, NE 68528-1630 A must stop the woodies omelette is delicious!!! And the woodies burger is the best burger that I've had in a long time!!!! It took us some work finding it with the bad address but it was worth it!!!! read more

This place is delicious! I have never had a bad meal here and the prices are fantastic. The Woodee Burger is amazing! Simple and delicious. I highly recommend it. It's a little out of the way for most living in Lincoln, but it's worth it. Make sure to check their hours before driving out because they seem to stay open for breakfast/lunch and a few evening meals. read more

Best breakfast I've had in years! Fresh, perfectly prepared entrees with terrific cinnamon rolls to boot. The Reuben omelet was amazing!! Clean, inviting, and the owner is incredibly nice -- when she heard we had traveled a long way to be there, she had us put pins in a wall map identifying our home towns. We will definitely return next time we are within a hundred miles of Lincoln!! read more
