Like the new location. Larger size and good amount of room between the tables. Could use a wheelchair easily but getting to bathroom might be a challenge

Our friends were very pleased with both the food and service. If it is coffee there is always someone walking by to fill your cup. Our waiter was very friendly and on the spot. Large portions too. Fruit excellent and good variety and freshness. 4 of us were pleased. Made reservation day before. Thanks to all!

This was my first time eating there. I won't go back. The food was not impressible we had to sit and wait 30 minutes and then I wait another 30 minutes before we even got food. Yeah I won't go back. Sorry

Food was burnt. Wait staff would not make eye contact to ask about our food. Finally asked for our tickets and left.

Good restaurant for breakfast. Went here on a Tuesday morning. It was busier than expected but there was not a wait. Service was immediate but we had multiple servers ask us the same questions multiple times. I had the biscuits and gravy and a side of bacon. Both were good and came in a good size portion. I would go back again next time I'm in Lincoln.

I am editing this after a previous lower review. As, I still really love the menu items and the food! It is a great place for a brunch and you should give them a try. The wait staff has improved a lot form my previous review and that’s a great thing too.

The treat for St Patrick's day lunch was corned beef and cabbage. They also included slightly sweet baby carrots and boiled new potatoes. Definitely was a very busy place as soon as someone left, they were able to seat others that had been waiting. Large enough portions that left no room for dessert. Delicious ❣️

Can be a bit crowed at times. A little bit of a wait when busy, but it's worth it hands down the best eggs benedict around. A good selection of diffrent things as well without being overwhelming.

Really great breakfast and service. Wanna cocktail? Bloody Mary's, Bloody Cesar's, and Tequila Sunrise for your pleasure. Outdoor dining with propane heaters. Reasonable prices too! Give it a try. (Lost a star due to parking lot full of potholes)

Hands down, this was the best breakfast in Lincoln, Nebraska. Today was my 1st time visiting and everything from the atmosphere, the staff, quality of food and price were all excellent. I will definitely be back.

If it wasn't for their Institutional silverware it wouldn't be a bad place to eat, just can't get pass the silverware. Use your fork to cut thru a piece of sausage it will just about cut thru your finger first. But their food is good

Food is fabulous. Employees are friendly. Coffee is really good and only 2.00 a cup. If you go on weekend then make a reservation. I wish they were opened past 2pm

Excellent food and great service. The wait was long, and I understand why. The food was very reasonably priced and delicious. I would recommend you endure the wait, and come check this place out. It’s worth it.

Really good and there were so many options I had a hard time deciding! Service was also very good despite how busy they were.
