My sister-in-law brought me here a couple of times for breakfast and it was amazing. The Acapulco Benedict is a unique spin on two breakfast traditions: Benedict and Chorizo sausage, brought together in one delicious offering. I would definitely recommend it! The pancakes are fluffy and delicious also. The service was always friendly and spot on. Highly recommend! read more

The food was delicious and the portion was reasonable for the price! It took us a while to get seated on a Sunday but the wait was worth it. Our waitress was super nice, took a while for the food to be done too but it tasted good so we didn't really bothered. The NE bene was top notch!! Creamy, a little sour from balsamic and well balanced. The chicken fried steak was also good and well seasoned. The avocado toast is okay and so was the shrimp and grits. The shrimp and grits is a little too cheesy for our taste bud but its seasoning was also good. I like their decorations inside a lot also! Highly recommend! read more

Good Evans - Delicious Yogurt Bowl!! :) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Best breakfast in Lincoln. Hands down. I can't speak for their lunch because I can never pull myself from the breakfast menu. The Nebraska Bene is easily the most delicious thing I've eaten on their menu. And the sweet potato pancake will change your life and ruin all other pancakes for you. Our server was AMAZING. I regret not catching her name! read more

Good Evans - Nebraska Bene, Sweet Potato Pancake, and the shrimp and Shrimp & Grits. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Not impressed. Food was luke warm and the toast was COLD and hard. Waitress never checked on us.

UPDATE! EAT IN IF YOU CAN, as opposed to carry out. My original review was four stars, it was very good already... but that was for takeout. Today, we ate in and it was really excellent food! I had a garden omelet with greens and hash browns. My dad had the chicken fried steak and inhaled it! The freshness jumps off the plate, which you don't really get with carry out. Service is good, atmosphere is very good - call it "upscale diner vibes." Again, it was already good food but having it just that much more fresh and experiencing the atmosphere definitely kicks it up a notch. read more

The place is busy for a reason. Shrimp and grits was outstanding. I need to come back to try the breakfast pie.

This is our must-eat stop in Lincoln. We've lived here for almost 2 years and this us the place we take all our friends and visitors. Our family has tried a variety of menu items and never been disappointed once. We absolutely love Good Evans! read more

Great food, consistently, and across the menu. Corned beef and hash is a fav! Go to place always!

I've been here a few times & it's always a hit! Even when it's busy, the wait times are reasonable & you're usually called before your estimated wait time. The servers are nice & the food is really tasty. I always get the Nebraska Bene & the meat is always so tender & cooked to perfection each time. I can't really complain. Great spot for brunch! read more

I've been here a few times now, and there's much to appreciate. The hot tea is a nice offering, I take mine with cream, it's delicious. The cheese grits are what keep me coming back. Being able to substitute the GF pancake for bread you can't eat is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who must eat GF. Usually you have to swap out for a subpar product and pay more for it in the process. This is not that type of substitution, the pancake is fluffy and delicious. Well done there, that pancake, the grits and tea are appealing enough to keep me coming back occasionally even if I never order anything different. However, I would like to order something different now. The basic breakfast is just that, pretty basic. The eggs and hash browns weren't seasoned that I could tell. And despite having been there at least three times, I've only ever been able to order breakfast. There's no GF bread substitute for me to try a sandwich for lunch. I've asked and getting that as an option doesn't seem to be a priority for anyone there. So, until that happens, I suppose I'll continue only going every 6-8 months (despite moving much closer and it being extremely convenient for me now), only when I get the craving for breakfast food, cheese grits and a pancake. Maybe someday they'll throw the GF community a bone with some lunch and sandwich options. Most other places in town, Honest Abe's, HF Crave, The Eatery, etc. all have GF bread or burger bun substitutions, even fast food chains, like Firehouse Subs has a GF sub, it can be done well, I guess it just depends on how welcoming you want to be to a big segment of your clientele. read more

Highly recommend! The food was amazing and such a cute restaurant on the inside! We had to wait for like 10 minutes but it was well worth it. read more

I don't like traditional breakfast foods beyond sandwiches outside of a random craving here and there. But...pump myself up for 3 months on this 14 state food trip and tell myself it's dessert for breakfast and you have a gem of an experience! Sweet potato pancakes with candied pecans, caramel sauce, and whipped butter. Pancakes were airy. Pecans delicious. Oddly tame on the sweetness despite the caramel sauce. Loved it! read more

Good Evans - Sweet potato pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Looking for a good breakfast place while in Omaha. Good Evan's was nearby with good Yelp reviews so our group of four tried it out. We were pleasantly surprised by the design and ambiance of the restaurant. We were seated immediately. Our server was super friendly and attentive. We ordered from their extensive breakfast menu. The food came out hot and fresh. Everything was delicious. The portions were huge so we each had leftovers for later. We were all impressed. Highly recommended! read more

This is the best spot in Lincoln! I come here all the time, but today tried the avocado toast and some fresh fruit. Was SO good!!! Way better than I thought. So fresh and delicious. Can't wait to go again. Service was great and food came out really fast. Great place!! read more

Food is amazing! The Mexican power bowl had many unique flavor profiles but everything mixed together so well. A delicious, filling meal. The only bad part about this restaurant is that it's always super busy. read more

Go for the avocado toast, stay for the service and the charm. Oh and the raspberry iced tea.

My wife and I came in on a Saturday for breakfast and were added to the waitlist due to the many people wanting to eat here. We patiently waited and came back inside when our table was ready. We were uncomfortably sat at a table in the center of the restaurant, like a bowl of fruit on a dining table. There was a booth just a few feet away that was also available and much more desirable. No one had been sat there as it was just cleaned, and it sat the same amount of people as our table. We politely asked to be moved to the booth but were refused since "there was a larger party being sat there", even though the number of people that each table could hold were the same at both. We peacefully exited and went to another restaurant. We were sarcastically told to have a nice day on the way out, which sealed the deal for us. We were more valued when we were leaving than when we wanted something to eat. No need to patron a business where your comfortability and money are not valued. We will not return to this establishment in the future. read more

Fantastic brunch spot! We have been here a few times and the food has been consistently great. Good Evans is a cute local spot featuring fun and creative twists on breakfast and brunch classics. On our last visit we arrived around 11AM on a Saturday. As this was peak brunch time, we were quoted 40min wait time and decided to wait. They had us seated with waters and coffee before the 40min quote. Even with the entire restaurant packed completely full, the food arrived quickly and skillfully prepared. I ordered the pork belly power bowl. It was perfect. A beautiful combination of flavors and bright vibrant colors. We also ordered a few house-made pop tarts. These were huge and delicious. We wanted to try the strawberry; however, they were unfortunately sold out. We did enjoy an apple as well as a brown sugar one. Both pop tarts were tasty, but I though the apple was considerably better. I would recommend Good Evans to anyone who enjoys a local restaurant with creative food prepared with care. read more

I'm not sure how I am just now reviewing this place but Good Evans is a favorite of mine. And looking at the reviews, it's getting a lot of love from many others, which is much deserved. So why? The food is incredible. It's innovative. It's a different take on the old. Plus, they have the best London Fog with housemade vanilla I've had in Lincoln so far. Location for me is awesome. Lots of parking. This is a great hangout for the older crowd too. I have been here a handful of times, including treating my parents for lunch after they helped me do some things around my house. My parents are from a small town and don't like to eat out often, but they LOVED Good Evans. We all three ordered The Southern Bowl, which includes creamy cheddar grits, pulled pork, Carolina jus, sauteed spinach, pickled red onion, poached eggs, and micro cilantro. For $10, the portion is HUGE and the flavors...so good. I've also had the Breakfast Pot Pie, which includes puff pastry, hash brown quinoa and spinach blend, cheddar and jack cheese, bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, eggs, and green onions. It was a lot. Honestly, too many flavors for me. The pie crust had great flavor, it was crispy, the cheese melty, but there is a lot going on. I was also not a fan of the gravy, it's not traditional country gravy, so I will likely not be getting biscuits and gravy here. While I didn't love the Pot Pie, I had a lot of envy for my friends Acapulco Benedict. This is a toasted English muffin, poached eggs, chorizo sausage, and avocado topped with hollandaise and cilantro. She said it had a dill or citrusy flavor she couldn't quite figure out. Loved the lemony sauce which compliments the sausage. The dish wasn't spicy. She would have preferred an option to have greens on the side versus cottage cheese or hashbrowns. Things to know: They are only open for breakfast and dinner They have Pepsi products There are many things on the menu I still want to try so I will be back. Keep up the great work Good Evans! read more

there is a variety of options in food, especially for those who are vegetarian. the place was very busy upon arrival, but it didn't take long to be seated and served. from what i recall the server was kind and didn't check in too many times. the ambiance of the restaurant feels very modern brunch core, but it's cute nonetheless read more

Worth the trip! This place was so delicious. We drove a little outside the campus area when touring the school But so worth the drive. We had breakfast which included the Acapulco Benne, Avocado Toast and pancakes. The food was fresh and had great flavors. I ordered the avocado toast with the chipotle sauce on the side. I dipped the gator tops in the chipotle and it was fantastic!!! Great service and great atmosphere! I highly recommended!!! read more

This is one of the best restaurants in Lincoln and to be honest the ONLY restaurant that haa the best breakfast that I've ever had. The pumpkin pancakes are 5 star as well as the customer service. Our server Ashlynn was very good at her job and the manager was very friendly checking on our dining experience yesterday morning. Good Evans deserves a visit from Food Network read more

This is the second time that I have eaten there and the food is fantastic! Our server was great as well and she didn't constantly check in on us. I would give this five out of five stars if it wasn't for the loud noise from the patrons. This is a very loud restaurant when they are busy. read more

Very nice atmosphere! Really enjoyed our meals here, both of us had different types of Benedict. Mine had chorizo sausage and it was very yummy and a bit spicy. The Nebraskan Benedict had roasted tomatoes on it which were really delightful. The hash browns were well seasoned and the Holland side sauce was typical. Would return here. The place is clean and we were seated quickly. They do not have a waitlist option though so you need to be close to the restaurant while waiting for them to call your name on a busy day. They have seating outside. read more
