The Special Restaurant

Reliable old small town mainstay still mostly serving the folks who were coming here before Bellevue was on a map. I wish every town had a place like this, but they're usually killed off by chains. Friendly and familiar service with a classic menu. Fantastic breakfasts in particular.

A hidden gem. The food is really good and it is the best value for your money in all of Omaha. The servers are awesome!

I had the country omelet, and it was HUGE and tasted awesome. Service with a smile also!

Can’t say enough how good the food and prices are at this old school mom/pop diner!

The service and the food was great. Lot of food for the money.

Our server was Corie. From the start our party of 7 and one 6 month old was taken care of. It was a very busy breakfast time on a Saturday before a Nebraska football game. Corie was able to keep up with everybody she was taking care of. Food was hot and nice sized portions. This will be our go to place for breakfast when we visit our family in Bellevue Nebraska.

There in a group of 20. I was surprised at how large and varied the menu was. Service was very efficient for group. Food was very good and the portions large (almost everyone left with a take home box). The enchilada plate was huge.

Never disappointed,food is great and excellent service.

Excellent food and service. A+ all the way. Had the prime rib skillet special and it was a gut-buster! I couldn't finish it but I gave it a great attempt! On the side they offer toast, pancakes or a MUFFIN? Well of course I'll try the carrot cake muffin! I can't wait to come back and try lunch or dinner. The feel of the building(and area) is older and not as "modern looking" but just like going to grandma's house, it's very warm and welcoming and that's exactly the kind of place I'll keep going back to.

I was expecting much better based on the reviews and word of mouth. My first warning should have been the age of the customers when i walked in.

Everything was very bland. The fried shrimp was very mushy. The fried chicken was nice and moist, but lacked seasoning The side salad came with giant slices of cucumber, and a huge, rock hard chunk of very underripe, inedible tomato. I got the wrong salad dressing, but since the salad was so sad, it wasn't worth complaining about.
