    a plate of breakfast food on a table
    Brooke A.

    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

    Classic Breakfast

    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!

    What a great little spot which I would say is a local hang out and great breakfast spot. I would recommend this place when you are in town. Great friendly service with food to match.

    Lol! We would show you the food- but we scarfed it ALL down!

    We drive from California to a Omaha and back about every six months - this is DEFINITELY a place you should stop if you can. The bacon is SO midwest - LOVE it! The food is awesome- the people are awesome- the price is awesome! We will see you all in another six months! Thanks for filling us up for the long drive!

    Great food and a sense of humor. The "Woodee" is two eggs, choice of meat, hash browns or a darn good pancake plus toast!!

    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.

    Veggie omelet. Stuff with hash browns. Did I eat that? Yep.

    The most basic breakfast place. If you want eggs hashbrowns and simple sausage, this is the place. Plus they open early

    Wonderful brunch and service…read more Got a traditional breakfast. Service was fast. They had a small handful of gluten free options, which I greatly appreciated. Seems like their sausage is handmade in house. Make sure you get a reservation booked, we got very lucky to have been able to walk in on Mother's Day for brunch.

    Wonderful restaurant in downtown Lincoln. We had a party of three and got to taste each entree…read more Invariably there is a winner... not this time. All were delicious and I would have each based on my mood. My starter drink was a Blueberry Mojito, which hit the spot. Rum, blueberry, lime, mint, and soda. Refreshing, mild, and on ice. My wife had a cucumber gimlet. "It was incredible." Food started with a unique "flight of three" soups. We each got to taste the Lobster Bisque, French Onion, and Roasted Red Pepper Gouda soups. We each picked the French Onion as the clear winner, but the others were expertly made and tasty. My entree was a starter offering, the Tuna Poke Bowl. Scrumptious, light, and filling. Served chilled in a stone bowl with chips. The Atlantic Cod and chips were great, with a couple of dipping sauces. Perfectly fried. The third dish was a lunch special, it was a pasta dish with sun dried tomatoes, roasted baby tomatoes, in a red sauce sprinkled with feta cheese. This was so good. We broke down and ordered desserts. The Green Gateau cake is chocolatey with a hint of pistachios. Also had the Apricot Napoleon Torte which is baked up in Omaha and is renowned. Service was superb, thank you Ben! with a relaxing atmosphere, classy decorations, and fun time. We will be back!

    L's Kitchen absolutely earns five stars from us…read more From the start, the experience felt special. The head chef stopped by our table to personally explain the two specials for the evening, which was a great touch and made the meal feel much more personal. We started with the potato cakes, and they were excellent -- perfectly crispy on the outside, tender inside, and topped with sour cream that brought everything together. A simple appetizer done really well. For our entrées, I had the pasta special and my wife ordered the Chef's Chicken. Both dishes came out hot and were full of flavor. You could tell everything was freshly prepared and thoughtfully executed. We were genuinely impressed with both meals. The service was just as strong as the food. The wait staff checked on us regularly, kept our water glasses full, and were attentive without being intrusive. Overall, L's Kitchen delivers outstanding food and hospitality in a comfortable, refined atmosphere. We'll definitely be back again.

    We had a girls night at Fleetwood, and overall, it was a really solid experience with great service…read moreand a comfy atmosphere. I didn't drink, but my friends had lots of lovely concoctions floating around. We shared the Parmesan Sirloin Fondue as an appetizer and WOW--this was a favorite. The house-made green chile cheese dip is basically a spicy, savory roux topped with crispy steak tips. It was rich, a little spicy, and incredibly satisfying. I really loved this and would absolutely order it again. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, and it came with a nice, thick piece of chicken--always appreciated. The San Marzano tomato sauce was good and flavorful, and the dish was well-balanced overall. I'm a little picky about breading, and I didn't love it but flavor-wise it's spot on. I had total plate envy for the teriyaki steak bowl. It looks phenomenal and I will definitely be ordering that next time. One friend had the Moody Bleu Burger (without the jalapeños) and said it was still a bit spicy but tasty overall. Another friend ordered the Veggie Burger, and she said it was really good. She often orders veggie burgers and felt this one held its own. Someone else at the table compared it to the veggie burger at Leadbelly, with high praise. The Bistro Burger was also a hit flavor-wise--Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and mushrooms worked well together--but the only downside was that the bottom bun got pretty soggy. Fleetwood is definitely worth checking out, and it's a little bit tricky to find, but it's right under the bridges under O St.

    I appreciate the wait staff's teamwork as they dealt with our large party after the Good Life…read moreHalfsy marathon. I ordered the brunch burger. The meat was hearty. Thankfully, the kitchen was able to accommodate my request for lettuce and tomato for my entree. The burger gave me sweet and savory vibes because of fig jam and lemon herb mayo. Others at my table raved about the banana bread French toast. I'm not from Lincoln but I will add to the list if I were to visit again.

    There's truly no place quite like this. It has become one of our very favorite places to celebrate…read morelife's special moments -- whether with family, friends, or even my clients. 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.

    March 2026 Lincoln,…read moreNebraska Many sites on the Internet, including Yelp, said this was a good place to go to for food and entertainment. It is 6 o'clock on a Tuesday night and it is my table and one other in the restaurant. The floor is carpeted and there are booths along the wall as well as many tables 6 top and four tops. The silverware is located in a cigar box on the table. The menu is viewed by scanning a QR code. You may ask for a paper menu as well. We ordered 6 wings half with barbecue sauce and half with Annie B's sauce. Annie B's sauce is a combination of honey mustard and barbecue sauce. We also ordered the Haystack barbecue chicken sandwich to share. It comes with fries. You're able to substitute it for mashed potatoes, green beans or you can get salad bar, or you may get mac & cheese. Not sure if the last two are an up charge or not The servers periodically get up on stage and sing. They will take requests. The barbecue wings are very good. They are double fried which gives a crisp outside skin. Comes with three celery sticks. The blue cheese and the ranch dressing are very thin. Very runny. Not much flavor to the salad dressing. Chicken sandwich is a very thin piece of chicken. I think it has too much barbecue sauce. I do like the smoked Gouda on it. However, the sandwich was cold. It should be a hot sandwich and it would get a much higher rating if it were served hot. The french fries are a thick cut curly fry. They have great flavor and great crunch. It's nice to bite into a fry and feel the meat of the potato. The wait staff is kind and they all help each other. They take turns going up and singing. It could be a request or something they choose. Oddly enough, the four songs that we recommended they knew none. So we told them to pick some thing of their own liking. Overall, the food was much better than I anticipated. Out of five stars, I would give the wings five stars but the chicken sandwich would be a 3 1/2, because it was served cold and the chicken was thin and dry. The french fries were a five. Service was definitely a five. The staff is very friendly. This would be a fun place to visit with people from out of town. It is unique to the area and the food overall was worth going back for.

    Our first date night in Nebraska was a memorable one thanks to DISH restaurant and its employees!…read more I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time online. We made a reservation for 5 PM when they opened on a Friday night. My first good impression of this restaurant was their well dressed and mannered staff. The hostesses and servers were ready for us! The coat rack up front is a nice touch too. We were seated next to the window with a beautiful snowy view of downtown Lincoln. Our server was so sweet and made sure we had a wonderful first dining experience. All of the food was fantastic. Our favorite dishes were the parsnip soup and blood orange toast. I think their menu changes monthly because it was printed. The drinks were okay. I got a non alcoholic cucumber "martini". My husband got a Moscow mule, but it was too tart for his taste. If we ordered drinks again in the future, we would try something else. Other than that, I highly recommend this spot! Thank you chefs for the amazing food and staff for a memorable dinner.
