    While traveling from California to Nebraska and Omaha we stopped here to get a bite to eat. This is our first time at this location and never seen it before. I ordered number five and the sandwich was excellent, the taste was good to the last bite. If you have never been to this location, come and give them a try.

    Chipotle Chicken Sandwich.

    Kickin back with a delicious sandwich and of coua Coke Zero! The staff was chill and so helpful--definitely coming back for more. Perfect fuel for a Friday or Saturday Night! #Yum #ChillVibes #FoodieApproved

    Visited Pickleman's for the first time today with my daughter. The food was really good and the price was more than reasonable. The staff was really friendly and seemed to have a good rapport with the customers. I expected a pickle for some reason but neither of us got one. Other than that it was really good. Will be back.

    #5 with avocado

    My boyfriend and I needed a quick bite to eat after driving 7 hours today and Pickleman's was perfect. We both got the #5 with avocado and it was 10/10. Super quick service, friendly staff, and great chip selection as well!

    Sandwich shop that reminds me of Potbelly's. They have various Mac and cheeses(some come with meat) and also serve pizza and sandwiches. The soups were a little oily and lacked flavor, however would come back for a quick sandwich on the go.

    First time to Lincoln and glad I stopped at Pickleman's. Not a big fan of chains but this was really good. Fright off campus, really nice staff and saw them cutting all their own cheese and meats, not prepackaged. I got the whole Italian Beed with peppers and it was pretty darn good, nice meat, spicy peppers and tasty aus jus to dip. Will try again next time I see one!

    Pickleman's is a great spot downtown for sandwiches, soup, pizza, and more! They are open late too if you get the late night munchies! They've recently started offering lettuce wraps for their sandwiches in place of bread and they are delicious if you're wanting something on the lighter side. Service is always friendly and I feel the prices aren't too expensive so you get a lot of bang for your buck! Don't forget to get a pickle while you're there, they're delicious! Plus, they offer carryout, delivery, and curbside pick up which can really be appreciated especially with everything happening in the world right now.

The coffee was very good, and the cappuccino was smooth and well made. 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.

    For many years, The Eatery has been a fixture in east-central Lincoln. I'd heard plenty of positive…read morecomments about the restaurant over the years, so I finally decided to stop in for lunch and see what it was all about. Unfortunately, the first impression could use some improvement. Upon entering, guests step into a small lobby with two interior doors--one designated as the entrance and the other as the exit. Once inside, a host greets you, hands you a menu, and escorts you to your table. Along the way, you pass the restaurant's salad bar, which should serve as an inviting showcase of the food offered inside. Instead, the salad bar was the low point of my visit. On the day I was there, it appeared messy and poorly maintained. A salad bar requires constant attention to keep it looking fresh, attractive, and clean, and that simply wasn't the case during my visit. Given its prominent location, it creates an impression that management should work harder to improve. The Eatery's menu, however, is extensive and impressive. There's truly something for everyone. The unlimited salad bar is priced at $14.99, or $7.99 when added to an entrée. Based on what I observed, that seemed a bit steep, so I decided to pass. Instead, I ordered the Smokey Chicken Stacker with fries on the recommendation of my server. It turned out to be an excellent choice. The sandwich was flavorful, the fries were perfectly prepared, and the meal arrived at my table less than ten minutes after ordering--a testament to an efficient kitchen. Overall, I came away believing that The Eatery serves solid food, but the décor, atmosphere, and overall layout feel somewhat dated and uninspiring. The appearance of the salad bar was the biggest negative of the experience for me. Would I return? If I lived or worked in the neighborhood, probably yes. However, since I don't, it's unlikely that I would make a special trip back.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Lincoln. I recently visited the green gateau for a rehearsal…read moredinner. The service was kind, quick and attentive and the food was delicious- per usual! 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.

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.
