Ordered the Gates Nachos with Braised Pork - was delish! Loved the peppercorn sauce, in my opinion could have used a bit of spice to bring it up to the next level (I added hot sauce but would've loved some hot peppers), but they're super generous with the portions which I appreciated. Hope to swing back again! read more

Came here for private event which I didn't know they had, we had chicken wings, pretzel bites, pizza, and meatballs, for appetizer, bar tender was friendly. The event space was perfect for our Christmas party, the area is great location. High my recommend coming here for small group gatherings, since they open late! read more

I had to get a photo of this before I ate it all. Amazing! Service was top notch. I was solo so sat at the bar and only ordered the Bang Bang Cauliflower since I was meeting people later in the evening, but totally will come back for a meal. Cocktails were spot on! Come hang out here. It great. 10/10! read more

We stopped here for lunch around 11:30 on a Tuesday morning. I had the open faced salmon sandwich with tater tots and my wife had the Cuban sandwich with a side salad. The food was great for the most part (the tater tots were too crunchy, how does that even happen??) Here's why we won't be back: 1. Probably some of the slowest service we've ever had (and they were NOT busy at all). 2. As another reviewer mentioned...flys, this can be easily remedied, why hasn't it? 3. Waitress was 'ok' at best. If you have the time, food is very decent, if you're on a tight schedule, pick another restaurant. read more

I always forget about Gate 25 because I typically go to places I went in college. Today we had pickle fries (thinly sliced and really flavorful) with sriracha mayo. HUGE ORDER. We split a wedge salad. It was big and non traditional but had tons of blue cheese crumbles and heirloom tomatoes. The poke nachos!!! Seared ahi tuna, wontons, spinach sauce and jalapeños. Perfect amount of heat. Our service was outstanding (thank you Jordan!) read more

Very rude staff, we had to flag down the bartender every time we needed anything. They were too busy flirting with young male customers or leaning on the ledge talking to coworkers. Food was excellent but took a very long time. And again, the service was terrible. read more

Service gets 5's as the bartender was efficient and super nice. My shrimp po boy was a joke. Big old bun with three tiny shrimp on one side and two on the other 1/2. No sauce on it so it was a dry bun with an insufficient amount of shrimp. Food was forgettable. read more

We tried this place for lunch great atmosphere. I don't have time to leave many reviews but I would love to meet someone who left a 3 star or lower and simply shake my head. We eat out a ton as we travel all the time for business and my spouse is a foodie. She had a tuna salad ( subbed the salmon for tuna) she said it's the best she's had in her life and my Reuben is right up there, love how they crisp the edges. The staff smiles and have great energy. Amazing place, don't let any of the absurd negative reviews steer you away, it's ten out of ten! read more

Food was decent however the flyers would not go away no windows were open or doers and we had at least 5 flys around us all time was annoying. The Buffalo chips and cheese were good that's what keeps the rating up. read more

My wife and I were looking for something new to try for our first time in Lincoln with our son and came across Gate 25 after looking over a few menus in the area. We were impressed with their wide variety, but couldn't find any kids menu listed so we called to confirm they had a few options, which they do - grilled cheese and chicken strips. As for the restaurant itself, it's fairly small. I'd say about 15 -20 tables at most that I could see, and a bar in the middle. It wasn't busy for lunch so we had no issues getting a table. Service was great throughout our meal, but what really made the experience shine was the food. My wife and I both got their Lamb Burger, which is rare for her to want to try, but it came so highly recommended that she went for it. WOW. We both agreed - honestly the best lamb burger we have ever had! Such rich flavor, spice, and juiciness it just melted in your mouth with every bite. I'm not sure if it's their seasoning blend or their peppercorn sauce but the flavor was absolutely delicious. I would seriously drive an hour back to Lincoln just for the burger it was that good. Hopefully everyone gets a chance to try this place at least once if not for a drink on game day, at least for one delicious lamb burger. read more

Came here for the Onsie bar crawl. Could not for the life of us get any service at the bar. Stood up & waved arms & bartenders just ignored us. So disappointing...we won't come back. read more

Had a work event here with a private room. The staff was super friendly and helpful, they had a full bar with a great selection and we got loaded up with just about all their appetizers and everything was so tasty I really gorged myself. Some of my favorites were the pulled pork nachos, guacamole, flatbread pizza, meatballs. They had a large jenga which was lots of fun to play. This is a really great location and I surely would come back and you should stop in too. I think I'll need to try a sit down dinner next time. read more

Good food, awesome staff. A fun place to hangout while visiting Lincoln. Will definitely return.

Excellent service in a very busy atmosphere before a game. Our waitress was attentive, kind and took care of our kids so well :) Food portions were massive so if you're elementary kids think they can eat an adult sized burger or sandwich...they can't! Have them share. We Will be back to enjoy before UNL sporting events for sure! read more

Stopped in after the Buckeye game for a quick dinner and drinks. With it being Gameday, we didn't expect much, as it was super-crowded, and short gameday menu. Wow, we were surprised. The Classic burgers were absolutely phenomenal, great quality, cooked great. Tater tots were equal to my usual Bar Louie quality. Drinks good as well. I hope to get back someday and try them again on a normal day. This place exceeded all expectations. read more

Loved the bartender, she was blonde not sure which one but she was amazing in every way! Loved her!

I didn't care for the food, the staff were the only other customers in the place. It was clear that they were not happy they had customers to serve when I came in. I felt unwelcome, I would not recommend this place read more

I was staying at the Hilton Garden Inn. This establishment is within walking distance. It is located on a corner. For lunch I went with the blacken tuna salad and with peppercorn, it really popped off with flavor. It was very tasty. It was also a nice spot to bust on work emails during the day at the bar. read more

Stopped by while in Lincoln for business. Great atmosphere and reasonably priced. The portion size of the sides was huge too! I hope to get there again when I'm down in Lincoln. read more

Was walking around the area and decided to drop in. Although they have an evening happy hour.. it also includes happy hour in food. The ginger cilantro wings were AMAZING!! The bartenders were so much fun to talk with, entertaining, and honestly, some hot eye candy to watch, especially Payton! Walked out with a full belly without spending a lot of money! read more

Their menu is not available on their website. Nice. They also don't list their hours. I don't want to have to sign up for something just to get information about a place I'd like to eat. I don't want to be bff's. I guess I won't be eating there. I already don't trust them. And another thing, according to the menu listed on Yelp, prices vary on a wedge salad and wings, but not the tuna? This is got to be one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Get it together Lincoln Nebraska. Get out of the dark ages. read more

For some reason my previous review didn't move with the business page... Never have I thought to come here for food, it always strikes me as a bar. I came not knowing what to expect, and what I found was it was pretty good. I had a hard time deciding what to get, but after seeing they had a Cuban, I had to try it. Behind a cheesesteak, a cuban will always be something I need to try. It was house braised pork shoulder, ham and melted swiss cheese, served on a toasted hoagie roll with spicy mustard and chopped dill pickles. There are a few things I look for in a cuban. The pickle type, makes or breaks a cuban. I hate pickles, but on a cuban, the right one makes it perfect. Right off the bat, they had the right one, instead of those cheap nasty gross pickles, it was a crunchy dill pickle, and instead of cutting it, it was diced and mixed in with the pork. It was a great way to add it in the sandwich without overpowering it. The ham was fantastic, the pork shoulder was melt in your mouth. The pork wasn't dry, wasn't overseasoned, it shined on its own. The cheese held it into place and kept the sandwich together. However,one of the other marks to a great cuban sandwich is the mustard, and this spicy mustard they used was like... incapacitating mace. And I found the problem. The first half of the sandwich was great, it seemed even throughout the first half. When I got to the second half, my first bite I almost choked to death, because of the mustard punch that threw a haymaker at my uvula. The mustard wasn't even on the sandwich, it was light on the first half, and over-splooged on the second. Each bite was a bite of mustard gas pain. Seriously, my eyes were watering by the end of the second half of the sandwich. The rest of it was so good, that I felt like a masochist with each bite, I'd go back to enjoy the rest only to be hammered with the overload of mustard. I'll be back to try a burger, but next time I'll ask for them to lighten up on the mustard, or at least even it out. I had the fries with it, and they were the run of the mill crinkle cut fries, nothing homemade. The one defining factor of them, other than the salt and pepper seasoning, was that no matter how long I waited, they wouldn't cool down. Not even a little. Somehow I think they had some sort of perpetual thermodynamics going on. My wife tried to eat one about ten minutes after I got them and she even commented on how hot they were. We went at dinner time and it was half full, service was beyond fast and friendly. Zero complaints on it. read more

Stopped in for event, not only where they they only place ready for the crowd, friendly!! Awesome staff, and holy crap their food is phenomenal, I will definitely drive the 1.5 hrs back from my home to just eat here!!! Great stuff!! read more

Yesterday, we celebrated my daughter's graduation from UNL at Gate 25. We reserved a room that had it's own bar, servers, and bathroom. The size and location were perfect. The servers did an awesome job of serving beverages and delicious food, while keeping the room clean. I totally would recommend this place for parties and celebrations. read more

Their cuban sandwich is outstanding, could not put it down. Service was friendly and quick, chill environment (though it seemed to be a slow evening, so grain of salt with that). Minus a star for the sweet potato fries, they were good, but WAYYYY over-seasoned. By no means should that dissuade you, the sides everyone else in my party got were A-OK. Also, they have an amazing cuban sandwich, why would you read past that? read more

I had the Cuban and fries: very large amount and quite good. Our waitress had a good personality and was prompt in her approach. The food was hot and delicious. The chicken sandwich was great and hamburgers great. Great location and great fun especially the night before a Huskers' home football game. read more

I've been here a few times, the food is great! They offer the best selections! But, can I talk about the service? Peyton was the sweetest person I've ever met! He's so fun, bubbly, and KIND! Definitely coming here more often! read more

Happy we found this place. The food was great, the service was fantastic AND we were able to bring our dog with us on the patio. Had the veggie flatbread, Buffalo wings and a chef salad. They were all very good. Beer and wine selections were also good- nice variety. Wait staff wore masks and tables were well spaced. read more

Good food. Great service. Jenna was on it. Had the braised pork sandwich. Crab Cakes were awesome too!! ;)

The bartender Payton was so friendly and helpful, he had a great personality and energy. My girlfriend and I had dinner and drinks and everything was fantastic, especially the service. We will definitely be back to see Payton again. read more

Very good atmosphere and great food. This place gave me literally the best burger I have eaten in my entire life. The service is also fantastic. My first experience at Gate was more than enough to make me want to come back again and again. The ambience is sleek and modern. I accidentally ran into a table because of the dim lighting and dark-colored furnishings, but I'm not injured, and I now know to watch where I'm going. Kalyn is awesome, so I gave her some of my music. Had a great time. read more

Really good food. I suspect the menu is smaller to keep the food fresh. We ate the bbq bacon burgers. My one complaint was that the burgers didn't have lettuce, tomato, onion, or pickles. The classic burger may have come with more veggies on it. But veggies on the BBQ bacon burger would have made it even better. read more

loved the blackened tuna salad :) super refreshing. Good atmosphere. Would definitely come back!

Don't go here if you want a margarita. Margaritas were made with canned orange juice! Who does that? BTW - Bartenders not very friendly!

Drinks and service are good however the food is mediocre. Would not choose to go for a meal. Also wish the area was bigger as it can be really cramped at timea. read more

This was one of the best restaurant/bar experience I have every had. Every time I thought to myself that I needed more of anything, my want was fulfilled without my asking. My drinks stayed full, & my food was delicious. Highly recommend read more

Everywhere around the Railyard was packed on a Friday night, this place was less than half full. It wasn't long before I figured out why. Sat at the bar, after a few minutes one of the bartenders came over, looked at his watch and said hello. We asked if he had other plans for the night and he said no, I'll be here forever tonight. We ordered a couple of drinks and we're ignored until we asked for the tab. read more

I usually go here for lunch on Fridays, great food. Today brought my son in law for lunch. We arrived @ 1:30 pm, sat at the bar, only people at the bar. Bartender seemed less than enthusiastic about us interrupting his fun time with the other 4 employees in the bar area. Took our drink order, never offered us menus and then proceeded back to his fun time. I reached over the bar, grabbed 2 menus and we sat there for about 15 minutes as the employees congregated on the other side of the bar. I finally got up walked around the bar and asked how much we owed for our drinks. They all stopped their fun time and just stared at me. The bartender printed out the receipt handed it to me and turned back around so he could concentrate on his co-workers. We walked to Leadbelly's. read more

Have eaten here several times, both lunch and dinner, as well as drinks. Always great food. Love the fresh salads! Fun atmosphere and good service. read more
