I ordered the chicken fried steak and my husband ordered the chilaquiles. Both dishes hit the spot. Their menu selection is huge. We're looking forward to coming back here with our daughter.

After being sat my waitress came up and asked me a couple questions and I got my food ordered. My food came out about 10-15 minutes later and everything was perfect. This might have been one of the best omelets I've ever had. The eggs were fluffy and very flavorful and the meat and veggies inside was fresh. Overall there isn't anything to knock about this place. Even the ambiance and bathrooms were fantastic. 5/5! Would come back.

The biggest thing for us, though, is the energy. As a lesbian couple, going out to eat can sometimes come with subtle weird vibes or feeling out of place, but we never feel uncomfortable here.

I ordered the Savory Breakfast Bowl with local sunny egg, quinoa tabouli, black beans, braised kale, house-made sunflower tahini, citrus ginger carrots, pickled red cabbage, and spicy sambal. The bowl was fresh, flavorful, and filling, with a nice balance of textures and ingredients. We went for lunch to catch up with friends, and it was the perfect place for that. The atmosphere feels relaxed and comfortable for conversation, and the menu has enough variety that everyone can find something they enjoy. Portions were also generous without feeling overly heavy. Service was great. They do offer drinks and cocktails as well, although I did not try them during this visit. Overall, it's a great local spot for brunch or lunch, especially if you enjoy fresh ingredients and a farm-to-table style menu.

I would highly suggest going late at night because there is usually nobody there and you basically have the whole place to yourself! The owner and his family are very kind and patient with their customers! Sometimes it takes awhile to get your food out to you, especially when they are busy but that is expected with a popular food place! Otherwise, everything is really good and you can tell that they put their hearts into what they make

Owners are super cool & you can usually find them stopping by tables to chat with customers & make sure they are enjoying their meals. On weekends they usually have live music playing which is really fun & makes the experience that much more enjoyable. Now on to the food: everything we have ever tried here has been fantastic. I usually get the hot chicken on a waffle which comes with 2 sides. Highly recommend the Mac n cheese, red beans & rice, or fried okra. As entrees I have also tried the shrimp & grits, fried eggplant, steak tips & the meatloaf (my dad is 73 & says it's the best meatloaf he's ever had his entire life). Honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu here! Highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't already

We ordered fried okra as appetisers , then i ordered shrimp grit with a side of cornbread and he ordered chicken tenders with waffles. Food was hot and delicious. Everything was delicious. Corn bread was a little dry. But they had drizzled it with honey. Overall we will definitely return!

We had Brussels sprouts and calamari for appetizers. Both dishes were crispy and had great flavor. The sprouts had a sweet balsamic glaze which complimented the earthiness well. The calamari had an airy, crispy breading and a plethora of sauces to choose from for dipping, my favorite being the cocktail sauce which was savory and tangy. For the entree I had a lettuce wrapped cheeseburger and I was really impressed. The beef was juicy and fresh while the condiments were fresh as well. The fries were so good, too! They were crispy, seasoned well and tasted amazing with the ranch. For dessert we had crème brûlée, YUM! The sugar coating was a perfect amount of waxy and sweet, and balanced well with the vanilla custard. The custard was creamy, decadent and super satisfying. The vibe of the restaurant is homey, upscale and warm, great place for a celebration or date night.

Each one is so good. We threw down at this restaurant. The drinks and service is just as good. The team here knows what they are doing. They served us up quick and gave me a very memorable birthday brunch. The only downside is parking, especially if it's a busy weekend! Come early, plan ahead. There's limited free street parking. I strongly recommend making a reservation online. We had one, but still had to wait about 15-20 minutes for a table. The food and experience was worth the wait.

The one thing that wasn't great is the men's bathroom doesn't have a changing station (or at least it's not marked) so my husband couldn't change our babies diaper I had to since it was in the women's restroom. Lots of parking in the shared business lot.

Brought water and menus and a short time later took our order. It was right about here our waitress dwindled. Not sure if to many tables, to far apart or what the issue was but it became obvious. I initially had a diet Pepsi, and then switching to a pomegranate lemonade. It was delicious. At one point everyone was out of drink and had been for awhile and no food had arrived so one of my family went looking for help. We saw other servers often. Just not ours. Drinks and food came. First mine and my wife's. Then later the other 2 in our party. First thing I noticed was my burger looked old. I felt the edge and it was cool. Ripped off the bun and so was the center. Now I hate hate sending food back. But I cut my burger and it was not only cold but rock hard. I had no choice. I couldn't eat that. They remade it and brought me a new burger and fries. It was plane but quite good. Normally piedmont is spot on. Just not today.

We happened to be in the Lincoln area for an event, and he begged to visit the Hi-Way Diner again to relive those memories he cherishes. It was pretty early in the morning, so a breakfast stop did sound pretty appealing to me. We popped in and the interior is pretty cute, with vintage signs and items scattered throughout. The look of the building is a little worse for wear, I will say, with musty carpets, fluorescent lighting, and a faded smell of a building that has been standing a while (which this has) along with the delicious smells of the food cooking. Ignoring the smells and sights, we stood in line to get a table. It was a Sunday when we were there, so very busy obviously. We were seated at a booth, and perused the menu. Let me tell you right now now, you do NOT come here for health food. It's either very heavy meaty options, or sweet pancakes and waffles. Because of the aforementioned heaviness of the fare, my husband and I decided to split two entrees and share the sides. I chose the South Street Meatloaf, and it tasted just like my mom used to make, with a ketchupy brown sugar glaze. My better half chose the Chicken Fried Chicken, and it was ENORMOUS. For our sides, we had mashed potatoes and corn, and those were pretty standard - nothing to write home about. We packed most of our entrees and sides away to take home, because my husband said we had to try the pancakes too! He got the standard pancakes and doused them in butter and blueberry syrup. Can't go wrong there. I got the Magic Toast and chose the French Toast flavor. It was very well battered and came with some delicious syrup to top it with. Highly recommend trying anything from the Magic Toast menu. Hi-Way Diner is definitely a hole in the wall style eatery, but it's worth a stop in Lincoln if you're looking for a tasty breakfast at a pretty affordable price!
