    Chicken cordon blue
    Joshua S.

    Blown away by dinner tonight. We come here a few times a year and it is always solid food and service but the special this week shows a step up from their solid good foot into excellence. I rarely do a second review unless something really notable happens and this deserves a call out. It was chicken cordon blue made from scratch with a delicious sauce on top. It was crispy and still moist. The sauce was brilliant and the cheese was so gooey. The homemade and quality result makes me think they are really growing here and deserve more frequent visits.

    Mac n cheese

    I've not been to many restaurants that consistently tantalize my taste buds but I honestly LOVE Cafe on the Square. I wish they were also located in Lincoln so I could visit more often. But if you're in Lincoln, yes, it's worth the drive! I returned for lunch again, this time with coworkers. I had the mac n cheese and it was incredible! It's cheesy, and homemade, and very rich. I think next time I'd enjoy it more as a side rather than an entree just because it's so heavy. It would go very well with their hand-battered, freshly cut chicken strips, which are equally as delicious. I do not like overly crispy, thick battered meats. These strips are done well. AND the best part is the mac n cheese and chicken strips that you order for adults, are the SAME for kids. No Kraft mac n cheese on this kids menu. I LOVE that! The mac n cheese also come with garlic bread (I know, carb overload) and it's also totally worth mentioning. It's also very yummy, with a soft inside and crispy outside. My coworker had the meatloaf, which I was able to try. It's also delicious. The meat was kind of crumbly, not because it's dry, it was a good, moist crumble. I love the texture. And that brown gray. It has chunks of fresh mushrooms in it. The gravy honestly, for me, took the dish to the next level. I love that the chef takes comfort food everyone knows and loves and adds his own touch to take it to the next level. Fresh ingredients, great textures, quality bread, etc. This is a cafe, but this is not your typical mom and pop diner fare. I noticed there were also some renovations since the last time I came. They took out one of the entrances/waiting areas and added a simple bar. There is also outdoor seating. I can't wait to go back and try something else. If you're in Seward and not going here, you must! Not only to support a small business, but because it's delicious!!

    Corned beef hash with scrambled eggs
    Jeremy H.

    I usually like my corned beef hash traditional style, like what you get out of a can, but this is the best homemade corned beef hash I've ever had! The thin slices of corned beef were absolutely delicious! Excellent service as well

    Mac and cheese with garlic bread.

    Small town cafe that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nice variety in their menu. Also wine and beer available. Very good food! Definitely will come back.

    Turkey melt is very good, it's a bit hit and miss for me depending on what you order.

    The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. Make sure and save room for dessert as the Peach Crisp was excellent.

    Had a great southwest burger with awesome onion rings but the peach crisp with ice cream was a delightfully delicious dish.

    Service was the only good thing about this place. We waited over an hour after ordering for our…read morefood. When it came out it was AWFUL ! The smash burger had a funny taste. I've seen better chicken sandwiches served at school lunch. Finally the nights special "Buffalo Mac and Cheese" was the driest weirdest Mac and cheese I've ever seen. It also came out as BBQ Mac and cheese served with the terrible school house chicken. Big thumbs down.

    We stopped here on our summer road trip camping in town and couldn't be more thrilled with our…read moreexperience! We arrived about 9pm and there was a sign that said kitchen closed, after driving all day we were parched and looking for a bite to eat. We asked if it was closed... it was, but they opened the kitchen back up for us! How genuine and kind! We ordered pickle chips, and each got a sandwich and a side, it's worth coming just for the double cheeseburger! It was absolutely huge and totally worth the price, tasted like mom made when I was a kid. Definitely homemade! We had two rounds each, and stayed to chat. We ended up being the last ones in the bar. Our server - Stacey is incredible, very sociable and kind! At the end of the night she bought us a round! The ambiance is your favorite small town bar! A pool table, juke box, casino games and beer signs fill the well lit bar. There were signs that mentioned this bar was for sale and sounds like the owners are looking to retire, I sure hope this bar has a long life, if not with the current owners then with new owners - this is going to be a new staple for us on our way through town!
