Great setting and environment in downtown Lincoln. In the warmer months you have outdoor seating or can choose indoor. Service is always great when we have visited and there is a sandwich for everyone. read more

Bison Witches Bar & Deli - California Kid w/chips - Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Bison witches is a naustalgic college spot for me that brings back all sorts of good memories. They have a fully stocked bar and plenty of seating. If you're craving a warm sandwich with all the fixings (& a drink) this is the spot!!! You can choose your type of bread (see menu) and your side of chips. The menu is huge and they have a few kid friendly options (grilled cheese and grilled PB&J). It is a little pricey for sandwiches but worth it if you're in the Haymarket area. Theres a parking garage across the street (first hour free) or metered parking. The outside entrance is shared with the Coffee House then turn left. Waitresses are always great! read more

The Reuben and the Pastrami sandwiches were really good. The waitress (McKinley) was super friendly and kept us well supplied with drinks and helpful with our food selection. Just a really good sandwich shop in downtown Lincoln. read more

Lincoln classic! Sandwich and soup in a bread bowl... elite combination. My go to is the California Kid (hello avocado and sprouts) and the Wisconsin Cheddar Soup. Bread bowls are from Rotella and can't go wrong with Ms Vickie's chips. read more

Came here on a Wednesday for lunch and it was fairly busy but we were able to find a table for two right away. Service wasn't the fastest but understandable during the lunch rush. I got half a club sandwich on ciabatta with no tomatoes and a side of salt and vinegar chips. It could have had more lettuce, mine only had one scrawny piece. There were several TVs in the bar area to watch sports channels. The drink cups are huge! Lol. Barely made a dent in my water. I think I should have gotten a whole sandwich or a side of soup. I wasn't hungry after, but definitely could have eaten a whole sandwich. Can't complain for a lunch for less than $10 before tax and tip. read more

It was very crowded when we came. Service was great. We had to find our own table and they wiped it clean immediately for us. This is the second time here for us. I ordered a painkiller today. It was delicious. Love the rim of toasted coconut flakes. It was cold out and I wanted the bread bowl with soup. So I specifically asked if I ordered a half croissant with soup if I would stoll get a bread bowl. She said it did. When it came, it wasn't in a bread bowl. When we asked it appeared to be that it's because the chicken noodle soup was too brothy. And the soup would be soaked up very quickly in the bread bowl. I wish she would have told me about it. I was really craving that. But otherwise. It was a bustling busy Saturday afternoon. Ambiance is chill. And very delicious food. We love it and will be back. read more

We went out for lunch today but the place we chose was closed. Lucky us we were close to Bison Witches. We walked in and boy they where busy. We found a table by the window, and the staff cleaned it up for us immediately. We ordered a drink, I had a blue moon. We ordered after and our food soon arrived. Delicious just like the last sandwich. Today I had the McQuinton on a Cresent with a bowl of chilly. I ate everybite. read more

Bison Witches Bar & Deli - Chilly in bread bowl and sandwich - Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

First time back in 12 years and boy was I disappointed. They no longer make their own bread, which was their highlight to their sandwiches, and the potato soup was watery with little flavor. Just average bread you can buy at the supermarket on my roast beef and cheddar sandwich. Don't think I'll be back. read more

Cute deli spot near the University. Great for large groups. There is literally something for everyone. Our group all had a different sandwich and soup and we enjoyed trying each other's food. We all really enjoyed the food. Would I say it was the best Cubano or French dip that I have ever tried? No, but good enough. No designated seating, you sit where you want. Service was good. Staff was attentive. read more

Solid sandwich joint in the heart of downtown Lincoln. Always packed on Husker gamedays, even with ample seating in the space. Large variety of standard and specialty sandwich options and full bar. Looking forward to coming back when the weather cools down to try their soups and will update rating (if necessary) at that time. read more

I went here with a coworker on lunch break. We had an hour, I wouldn't go for a 30 minute break. They were also very accommodating to us requesting to go containers for our cups, I asked for the cold toppings on my nachos to be on the side so I could take leftovers home and not reheat lettuce (ew!) and the waiter was very understanding. Chicken nachos were great. Place was clean, there's outdoor seating. I will definitely be back to possibly take my family here. It seems like a very fun place to eat. read more

Took daughter out for dinner recently here as she had been before and highly recommended it. I got McQuinton sandwich and she got the veggie sandwich. In all a very quick and simple restaurant. My sandwich was very good. It came with a bag of chips and they got a lemonade to drink this place also sells beer and cocktails which we both passed on but the service was very good and we got there at a good time before dinner time so the food was good and service was good. I would try a different sandwich next time because there are many to choose from. read more

I was visiting the area and when I saw there was a Bison Witches so I just had to stop in - this brings me back to my college days and I needed to dive into the nostalgia. I've been longing for their nachos and sandwiches for years! I have no idea if the nachos have changed drastically, if my food preferences have changed significantly, or if my memory is very bad - but these were not great. I do not recommend. The sandwich was ok, I appreciate the lightly toasted doughy bread but it was otherwise a little plain. So this was a bust and I think I've finally decided to stop trying to go to all my old favorite college hot spots. read more

I stopped in for lunch. Nice place, not too busy right at 11 AM. I had soup and a sandwich. It was quite good. I will stop back sometime when I can check out the patio without being in 100 degree weather. Inside, it is pretty much a regular bar. read more

Been frequenting this place since the late 90's! Favorite sandwich shop in the Midwest! Moved outa NE two decades ago and still make it a point to stop in for a half soup and sandwich special anytime I get even remotely near Lincoln. This place has stood the test of time and is a staple in the world of downtown Lincoln eateries! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. It's a family friendly seat yourself restaurant. They have all different kinds of seating options. The food menu is extensive and it was hard to choose which sandwich to get cause multiple sounded good. I ended on the C.A.B. which was really good. I like the honey mustard sauce it had on it. The food came out fast and our server was nice. Recommend checking this place out if you love different sandwich combos read more

We stopped in here for dinner after running market to market and it was perfect for all of us after running all day. The sandwiches were loaded up with meat and they didn't take long to get food to our very large party. I do wish that my sandwich (TAC) had had more salsa and avocado rather just loads of turkey but it was well toasted and delicious anyway. The side salad was also huge and the raspberry vinaigrette was delicious as well. This is certainly a good option for a quick easy bite in Lincoln. read more

Good sandwich options with plenty of food to go around. A casual, family-friendly environment with fairly quick service. Not a fancy place, by any means (not that you'd expect that from Bison Witches), but helps get your belly full! read more

After living in Nebraska now for almost a decade I'm almost a wee bit embarrassed to say that on this day that my boyfriend and I headed over to Lincoln, it was also the first day I had ever been to Lincoln. Ever. I was excited for the mini adventure during the COVID times and ecstatic to try this sandwich place he had been raving about. We parked in downtown somewhere then walked couple blocks to get here which was sweet because the weather was perfect on this day. The sun was shining and it was warm but not too warm. When we got there we were happily seated on the patio where the tables were nicely spread out. The menu had a fair number of delicious sounding sandwiches, soups, salads, and appetizers. We were both hungry but knew we just wanted to get to the goods so we when straight to the sandwich section of the menu. My boyfriend chose the club sandwich on Dark Rye bread and opted out of chips. This sandwich is filled with ham, turkey, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, bacon, and Swiss cheese. This is his favorite and it looked amazing and he said it was just as good as the last time he had it. I love that they are generous with their fixings and the combinations aren't the typical sandwich concoctions. I chose the half angel on a croissant and sea salt and vinegar chips. This sandwich was wonderful. It is made of thinly sliced turkey layered with cheddar cheese, tomato slices, sprouts and a house honey mustard. I absolutely loved it!! I especially enjoyed the sprouts because I feel like it is a great touch to a sandwich that is often overlooked. It's one of my favorite ingredients in sandwiches!! This sandwich had everything I love together and served warm. The service was pretty attentive here and they cleaned even the outside tables after a party was done there. I enjoyed this sandwich shop very much and I hope they continue to do well during this uncertain time. I'm already looking forward to the next time we head out to Lincoln. read more

My brother and I came here off of his recommendation. I love the old town exterior and nice interiors of the place! Our server dude was really cool and gave great customer attention to us! We both ordered the same thing. We got the half sandwich and soup bowls along with jalapeño chips. The sandwiches were the beef and brie... I love the way the melted brie mixed with smoked beef, tomatoes, sprouts, and honey mustard tasted altogether! Our soup bowls were the cream of potato bacon. It was cool how they brought the soup bowls to us with the bread lids on to keep the soup hot! It was humid outside so we washed all down with ice water, which even that was really good here! Everything was awesome! Definitely suggest this establishment!!! read more

Seat yourself kinda vibe. Torn vinyl on booth. Kind service staff. A sandwich (basic size) pretty good. Plastic knife...and a bag of chips: with a drink, dinner for two. $50. Ouch! For a deli sandwich? No water served. In and out 20 minutes. Not sure what the appeal is. Food good but sheesh! read more

Went here today and was not impressed. They may have been short staffed in their defense. We sat down and they came for drink orders right away and took our food order when she arrived w drinks. Our order was sandwiches and took an hour to arrive. The club sandwich was soggy and bacon not fully cooked. Went to use bathroom and feminine hygiene trash can overflowing as well as regular trash and no hand soap as it was empty. Wait staff appeared frustrated and not friendly. I understand it's the day after a husker game and they may be short staffed but all of these issues make me think twice about returning. read more

This picture is the chili they thought to be acceptable for my take out order. This is disgusting and completely unacceptable. It's either been burnt, or reheated more than once, which is against health code violations. No picture of the next complaint but I specifically asked for my sandwiches to be grilled a little longer because I had previously gotten take out a couple months prior and I had to grill them again at home. Needless to say, even after the request as such, I had to fire up my skillet and grill my sandwich. As well as heat up a can of soup from my cupboard. I used to love this place. Time to part with them I guess. read more

TAC on dark rye is where it's at, CCQ is pretty bomb as well their salsa. The half portion sandwiches are huge! No frills and thrills here, it's a small dive joint but I love it! My colleagues and I would go here every weekend it was such a great little treat as a college student! Honestly just get the sandwich anything veering off of that is just wrong--it's a deli shop yall. Staff is veeeeerrryyy slow, but I appreciate the large cups of water and the prices cannot be beat! read more
