The flavors were perfect and I'll be thinking about it for awhile. Waffle fries were good & highly recommend the garlic aoili sauce for dipping. Was in Lincoln for a work conference and this came recommend as someone in our group was vegan. It was a solid option! Active on a Wednesday night but we were able to get seated as a group of 10 immediately. Kind servers and solid service. Definitely will be back if I'm in Lincoln again & will recommend to others.

Incredible. Highly recommend…read more We love trying new things and opted to get out of the comfort zone of restaurant/bar staple foods. I recommend the Jalapeño Puppies. Little cheese filled balls with a great dipping sauce. Could have easily had 30 of these. My husband loved the Nakatomi Plaza which is a great chicken teriyaki sandwich. I opted for the Raspberry Beret and I could eat that weekly. I also chose the avocado pasta salad as my side and it was creamy and so yummy. The burger itself was unique. Who would've thought that peanut burger would be great in a burger but here we are! The service was above and beyond and our server was helpful and friendly.

As said before, food prices/drinks can be a bit more on the pricier side but overall everything is good. This time I tried the breaded mushrooms, good quality breading and included big button mushrooms. The Caesar salad with chicken is decent, the dressing is just not my favorite. I loved the pineapple jalepeno mule, comes with chunks of fresh jalepeno. The raspberry whisp was okay, just seemed a bit watered down. I do enjoy their selection of beers which includes fun flavors like the mango habanero IPA. Service was great again, we were there during a shift change, closed out with our first server so we could tip, and she made sure to bring another server to switch and take care of us.

Wife went light and had rhe humus tray with Naan and veggies. Looked nice. I had the kicked burger (aoli on the side) with onion rings. Topped it off with a nice pint of pilsner. The burger was great. Loved the bacon and jalapeno. Perfectly cooked. The onion rings yall was off the chart. Hand battered in house and fried to perfection. They had multiple tvs showing all the games. And our waiter Brett was awesome.

There was a fish fry going on but I'm not big on fish, thankfully they still offer their full menu as well. A couple people in my group had the fish and said it was great. My test of a bar is always a patty melt because it is easy to screw up but when it's right it's right and they NAILED it. The patty melt was so juicy and well seasoned and they did something with the onions (maybe slightly pre grilled) where they didn't have the pungency of raw onion but still had the snap. I'm home now and am already thinking about when I can go back. This place will be in heavy rotation for us. The fries and breaded mushrooms were standard bar fair but good. On tap the beer was limited but they had blue moon available which works for me. They have chili which someone at my table got and it is on my list to try next go around. It looked and smelled fantastic. All around a gem of a find I wasn't expecting.

Yes and this time we added portabella mushroom fries. Seriously amazing with ranch, that good old standby. Third time was Sunday. Again crowd was fun. No eating that day but $1 off drinks.
