I was in Lincoln and craving a burger. Yelp steered me towards this awesome restaurant. It's a fancy place, and not cheap. But you get what you pay for! I sat at the bar and had phenomenal service. I got the Aragon burger with a tallow fries, covered in bacon jam! I will have to say, this is one of the better burgers I've ever had in my life. It came out very hot, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce is super yummy. But it's a grilled onions that really make it. The fries came out hot, crispy, and very tasty. This is a phenomenal restaurant with some very good food. Unless you're lucky you get a seat at the bar, I'm sure reservations are required. read more

Nice calm atmosphere, good service. We ordered the oxtail croquettes which were delicious. I wish there was more aioli but the meat was so tender. I ordered the red snapper. It was a touch dry and had a bone. I did love the sauce and veggies with it. I wish there was more sauce to make up for the dry fish. The lamb dish was very tasty. It was cooked beautifully. Will come back to try the other entrees. read more

Wow! Top notch food, vibes, service, everything! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Lincoln or passing through Lincoln as a pit stop. My husband & I shared the oysters & baked Brie, I had a special mocktail & my husband a beer. I had the Gnocci & husband had the special for the night Prime Rib which he said was FANTASTIC! My Gnocci was great but I'd try something else next time, I kept seeing the burger and it looked 20/10! We finished off the night with the Apple pastry for dessert and oh my, it was so good! We showed up about 30 minutes early and they were able to squeeze us in! I would highly recommend reservations it is a very small venue! read more

Dinner at Aragon Tavern did not disappoint Amazing food, classy vibe, and cocktails on point. The food was delicious, fresh ingredients, great flavors, and beautifully plated. The cocktails were creative and well-balanced, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere feels elevated but still comfortable. Perfect for date night or dinner with friends. Prices are a little higher than average, but totally worth it for the quality. read more

My dinner experience at Aragon Tavern went well. I was greeted at the door & asked where I would like to sit. The server met me promptly & gave me enough time to order. She told me they were out of the Ambrosia cocktail, so I went with the Thorn & Thistle, 10/10 drink--from the sage, bourbon & fruit garnish chefs kiss!! My entree was the sopressini, I added a medium cooked steak & it was SO good. Portion sizes are a lot as well, I took it to go. I got fries with some sauce, don't know what it was but so good & ranch that had too much dill in it. I would return here, nice ambiance! read more

Had a really great date night at Aragon. Seating is very limited but came in to see if we could go to our reservation early which they were able to accommodate. Had a wonderful server who was knowledgeable about the menu. We started off with the berries and Brie which wasn't really for me but it could be right for others. I ended up getting their special prime rib which they only offer on the weekends. It was cooked exactly how you would want it cooked. The rub on the edges gave it a nice kick of flavor and the sauce it came with fit perfectly. Now the silliest complaint I had was the steak knife. The steak knives that they bring out aren't sharp. I thought I might just not know how to cut with it but the guy at the table next to me also was trying to cut his and his wife ended up holding the place because the knife wasn't cutting through. Again not the steaks fault as it was soooo good. read more

Meh!! It's ok, kinda spendy for what you get. Small and quaint , friendly staff. I am glad we tried it. read more

Definitely a great experience! I had a couple of offers on GrubHub and decided to check this place out for a relaxing lunch at home. Even though I was only there for a few minutes, the staff is quite professional and friendly. They even saw my kind request asking for some sauce with my fries and gave me a couple of options (Tavern Sauce & Ranch) to try as a newcomer! Better yet, they even wrote a Happy New Year's note on my takeout box. :) The food was quite good! I've had a (delicious) Steak Salad from Certified Piedmontese/Casa Bovina to-go and was really looking forward to trying a hamburger made with such high-quality beef... and it did not disappoint. Cooked to perfection (medium with a little pink), the burger was perfectly arranged for takeout and paired well with the toppings. I chose the Surf & Turf, as it stood out, and would recommend it if it catches your attention. The fries were coated in an excellent blend of seasonings but were a bit more flavorful than I would've preferred. However, this blend pairs *perfectly* with their Tavern Sauce and is the perfect choice for anybody's side. I'd also try their ranch, as it appears to be house-made with a variety of spices. All-around, go here if you can afford the $25-$30 bill per person and are looking for a unique spot. read more

So glad to see Lincoln is expanding their food spots. We went during our lunch because the last two times on the weekend they had a two hour wait! The ambiance was quiet during lunch Incredible burgers, somewhat limited but delicious. We tried the Aragon burger and a steal scallion wrap w truffle fries. We cant wait to try more options next time! read more

Monday night, so nt too busy so seated right way. Staff really nice and professional. Ordered right away and super fast delivery of hot food. Food. If you like super salty and garlicky than you are good. I had the Philly 'missing cheese' stake. Cheese was un-dectable. The meat was good but disquised by all the salt and garlic on the bread. Served with what would have been great fries if not for the super salt/garlic treatment. Nothing fresh to break the cycle. LAM had the reuban, without the crout and again no cheese visible in the sandwich and the bread was drenched in the salty garlic mix. Again, nothing fresh to cut the overwhelming sharpness. read more

Came here for a date night with my wife. It was Thursday, so quiet, mostly empty, which was good for us. It's a small place, which isn't bad. I wish they didn't have TV's over the bar... Totally unnecessary and it really breaks up the otherwise very classy, minimal vibe. Excellent service! Our waiter knew what was up, had good suggestions and gave us the right amount of attention without hovering. For an appetizer, we had the berries and Brie, which was tremendous! For dinner, I got the cheesesteak and my wife got the Reuben. Both good, and the fries with bacon jam were on point. (Getting fries at a more "upscale" place is always nervy because you just expect more, and they were up to snuff, especially with the sauce.) Finally, I had the Eleventh Avenue cocktail, which is like an old fashioned with more orange. Also very good, no complaints. It's expensive (for Lincoln). Not a surprise - more so if you wanted one of the steak options. I actually think the berries and Brie, the cocktail I had and even the fries were on par for the price. The sandwiches were good but I actually expected a little better. If we ever went back, I'd bite the bullet and get one of the more fine dining entrees. read more

We were quite disappointed all around. We had expected a fine dining experience, but that's not what we encountered. The food and service were average at best. The food was OK for the most part, about what one would expect from a standard mid range restaurant. My wife's burger was tasty, but a bit small. It didnt even fill the bun. It was good meat, but not $34 good. My red snapper was very dry and flavorless. The turnips were good though. The fries were awful, and the dipping sauce just made them worse. The service was also just ok. They had one waitress serving several tables. She brought our food out in 4 trips, taking several minutes. It was not only awkward, but the food cooled significantly by the time the last entre arrived. Im not sure we will go back. We have had better service and better food in lincoln for a third of the price. If you decide to give it a try, just keep your expectations low. read more

A small but mighty lunch menu. A more upscale experience (and cost) than most lunch spots in the area. Some of the ingredients were made at Casa Bovina (owned by the same family). Everything we had was delicious. read more

In town for a conference and found this spot through other recommendations. Loved it! Had the burger which was quite good, but kind of wish I'd had the steak which looked even better. Our server was fantastic, gave solid recommendations and had a great attitude. The place has a great feel and contemporary vibe. A good option for anyone wanting a nice meal near campus read more

My sister brought me here for a cute, outdoor lunch and I loved it! It's in downtown Lincoln with a chill vibe. It's a small, intimate restaurant. It already looks nice but it definitely is pleasing at night. I ordered their chicken sandwich and I didn't expect it to be this huge but it is very flavorful and delicious. Our food came pretty quick and it was a good service! read more

The flavors of the food at Aragon Tavern are just stellar. And with the addition of the great service, this location makes for an upscale experience at a casual setting. I highly recommend the scallion roll, which is Asian sauced steak and vegetable served in a scallion pancake as a wrap. It's a real flavor and texture winner, albeit very messy. read more

Not sure why more people were not in there during this beautiful Saturday for lunch, but our experience was fabulous. The service was spot on, the drinks were crafted with care and had an amazing taste with a good presentation. Clear ice in the cocktails is a touch that is definitely noticed. We had a cheesecake and also the Elote burger. We tried the sesame, bacon jam, and truffle fries , all of them had great crunch and flavor. Modern decor, clean, we don't live in Lincoln but it's a place we would visit again! read more

This is a bar in the line of very good bars in NY or SF (the old NY and old SF) where the service is very good, the food is a cut above and the drinks terrific. The only thing lacking is great ambiance and buzz, but heh, it's Lincoln. I would send any friend who knows good food from out of town here. The steaks are good, those little devilish eggs were thought up by a guy in his kitchen with a scotch in his hand a beautiful lady on the sofa and Sinatra on the hi fi. Go here, eat and enjoy the simple pleasures. read more

We just moved to Lincoln. We have old friends who live here and recommended this place. We looked forward to meeting them at Aragon. We arrived 15 minutes early and got a table- fortunately because there is only seating for fifty or sixty people. Much of that is at the bar or on stools along a long countertop. There are only a half dozen tables. The sound levels grew as the place filled. We had a 3 ounce glass of wine while we waited. We told the hostess what time they would arrive and were seated with no problem. They arrived as stated but that didn't prevent the dining room manager from glowering at us the whole time. Fifteen minutes can seem like a long time when someone is starting at you disapprovingly. We ordered soon after our friends arrived and then had to wait almost 30 minutes for our meals. It was hard to maintain a conversation while we waited because the background noise levels were so high. The dishes did not arrive together and they were brought out by someone who had no idea who ordered what. The glowering guy brought out my Risotto some time after the others were already eating. There were 7 or 8 people taking care of the tiny dining room but evidently few in the kitchen. It took so long for so little. The portions were small and poorly plated. A twenty five dollar burger does not get more elegant floating on a nice plate with fries in a stainless steel box. The bill came to $175 for four with only two tiny drinks among them. The food was only so so and we had to rush across to the performance at the Lied Center. The location is great but- read more

My wife and I went to Aragon to celebrate our birthdays. Not a happy birthday for us. We were seated at a high table next to the windows. I had a cushioned bench seat with my back to the windows. My feet dangled in the air above the much too low foot rest; not comfortable. I would have asked to move but all the regular seating was full. Started with two Martinis that were watery with cheap olives. The bib lettuce salad was lame with some crushed croutons, cheap flavorless olives and runny, sweet Italian(?) dressing. My wife's fish was dry, tough and overcooked. My steak was tough and chewy. I sent the stake back and should have sent back the fish. They comped me for the steak and I should have asked the same for the fish. Prices are high for Lincoln which we were willing to pay for excellent food. The food was lousy. We won't go back again. To end on a high note, the fries were excellent and the place has a cool vibe. read more

Good service, great menu, excellent cocktails. PBJ Burger with sriracha, chunky peanut butter, & strawberries, good night.

Awesome burger with some great side options. The fries was great and the burger was mouthwatering!

The food had a lovely presentation and tasted delicious! Service was great too, our kind waitress checked in on us and made sure we always had a full glass. The ambience had a good feel I enjoyed the wood paneling by the bar with the red backlighting. If I'm ever in Lincoln Nebraska again I'll definitely come back here to eat. read more
