    Burnt to a crisp and covered with chilli sauce

    I posted this review and YELP deleted all of my previous reviews of this hole in the wall establishment. I visited this store on 5-13-22 @ 2145 hours.I ordered two footlong coney dogs. Took them home to eat and the dogs were literally burnt to a crisp and covered up with chilli sauce. You cant tell me the employee wasnt aware of what he had just served a paying customer. This was Friday night, i could not return to the store with the food because they would have been closed by the time i got back there. I HAVE POSTED IMAGES OF WHAT THIS PLACE SERVES TO THE PUBLIC.!! Trust that on Monday i will be contacting the State attorney generals office consumer complaints department to file a claim against this Sonic store..

    This is supposed to be Oreo but it's missing something
    Casey S.

    One of the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. My order was missing food, my hotdog was brown and hard, my Oreo shake didn't have Oreo, my burger was made wrong. Of the 4 meals I ordered everyone had at least 1 thing wrong. Not to mention it took 20min to get my food.

    Late night!

    Typical sonic, food and service were right where I thought there should be. Can't beat a late night snack here. This location is good and the staff and servers are friendly. This location has outdoor seating.

    Trash everywhere
    Monica F.

    We let the kids get out to play on the playground and it was filthy! There was trash everywhere, ketchup on the picnic tables, broken playground equipment. The rubber on the equipment is so old it's cracked and unsafe and pinched my daughter's arm. We will never be back!

    Girl was very rude no one was answering the drive thru. I asked her and she shrugged her shoulders and said I don't know and kept walking.

I told the barista how I like my coffee, which is strong, iced and sweet. I also told her I was debating between the dirty Barcelona and iced Cuban. She recommended the dirty Barcelona and it did not disappoint. However I will say it was a little too sweet for me. I'll have to try the iced Cuban next time. Nonetheless, the coffee was absolutely delicious. I finished it quickly. In addition to the amazing coffee here, I trulyenjoyed their food!! They specialize in crepes, savory and sweet, omelettes, and pancakes! Don't sleep on their food y'all. I ended up ordering a build -your-own meal which consisted of a bagel, eggs, cream cheese, and three sides; salsa, chipotle mayo and sausage. Let's just say I ate and left no crumbs. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Frfr. My toddler got the apple pie pastry, also a 10 out of 10!! There are board games and coloring pages for kiddos. Plus merchandise and coffee beans available for purchase. There's lots of seating inside and street parking outside. I'm definitely coming back here with more people and plan to spread the word about this amazing spot. 1000 out of 10 recommend. :)

I sat at the bar and had phenomenal service. I got the Aragon burger with a tallow fries, covered in bacon jam! I will have to say, this is one of the better burgers I've ever had in my life. It came out very hot, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce is super yummy. But it's a grilled onions that really make it. The fries came out hot, crispy, and very tasty.

Our server, Riley, was flat-out incredible. Timely, warm, smiling, all the above. However, when we were leaving the establishment, we experienced the opposite. One of the servers, Beth, who knew my wife for years, decided it would be best to berate her for even coming to Aragon due to her own personal issues with my wife. We had no idea she was working. Worst of all, there were two other tables outside, who she was serving, that reacted and turned heads to the servers outburst to my wife. Terrible professional demeanor, and it left an awful taste in our mouth for such a classy business.

And you can choose to seat by the bar as well. We took a table seat. They gave us a while and came back for our orders. I ordered Garden City and bourbon salmon for lunch (that was the lunch special) - not on the menu. Drinks took about 10 minutes to come. My drink was wrong when it came. I thought it strange the drink I ordered listed empress gin but it was colourless. So when our food came, I asked what I ordered just to ensure that they delivered the correct drink. Our server just went sorry my colleague made this let me check. And eventually came back with the correct drink. Garden City was pretty but a little strong in terms of alcohol. It was a pleasant surprise when our food came. The sides were brocccolini and yellow coconut rice together woth the bourbon salmon. I would say this is the most delicious salmon I've had in Lincoln. Hubby wasn't feeling well but thought his chicken wrap was delicious. I sneaked his fries and it was the way I liked it. Very crispy. Overall, a good experience. We will be back. Especially if salmon is the special of the day

I understand thoroughly how restaurants are supposed to operate. For any management, or possibly the owner who reads this review, take into consideration that the way you are operating this business is appalling, ignornant, frustrating, and utterly disappointing. Hopefully there is no word limit, because if there was my experience as a whole is sure to exceed it. I entered the establishment around 12:30. I waited approximately 30 minutes to be sat, I understood the wait--it was peak lunch rush and we had a party of 8. At 1:00pm we were all sat. We were waiting for a server to acknowledge us for approximately 20 minutes. Eventually, a server began helping us, but she said she was unsure who are server was suppose to be, given that, she was not treating us like one of her tables. By the time she got to us we immediately put in all are orders: drinks, appetizers, meals, and alcoholic beverages. I had to walk to the bar myself and pick up the drinks that were prepped but never dropped off because of the failure to assign us a server. That in itself should make the management and owner very ashamed that a customer had to do the serving! I do not blame any of the servers at all for this absolute circus. I could tell how stressed each and every server was, and environment like this is very reportable to HR. I hope management is extremely well aware of that. Continuing, our food was an hour wait. By the time the food did come out, it was not even fresh or worth the waiting. I ended up never getting my food. According to "our" server, the kitchen was short staffed and one singular manager was back there keeping it running. I'm not sure what the servers were doing or what caused them to be a mess as well, but clearly the whole place needed to begin denying service. The 8 of us watched one by one as multiple people began to leave. Not one single person was warned of how long the wait would be for the food. If they were, all these bad experiences could have been avoided entirely. At the end, we negotiated getting some of our food taken off our tickets, but we stil had to pay some money that I would argue was not worth it at all. We were given a $50 giftcard for next time, which that in itself was extremely arrogant--after THAT why would we ever want to come back? DO NOT GO HERE. If you want to experience the absolute worst dining establishment, choose here. Other than that, do not ever waste your time here. I was reading some other reviews that gave this place a one star, and it seemed management tried to reach out to smooth things over. To make one thing very clear, there is nothing, NOTHING you can do to smooth over this situation. Instead of trying to play nice and quiet the bad reviews, take time to consider and fix what all these horrible reviews are discussing. If you cannot properly run a business, do not attempt to. You have completely broken the bonds between your employees, you have caused them stress, emotional damage through multiple unhappy customers, and on top of that you are ripping servers of their main income which is tips! I guarantee you in total those servers earned no more than $15 for the day--and on a typical Saturday that number should be in the HUNDREDS. I sincerely apologize to anyone who works here. Save yourself the stress and physical/emotional distress and apply somewhere else. Apparently, some other servers were being incredibly rude. So, if you match the audacity of the management, maybe this is the perfect place for you to work. TLDR; This place is appalling--service is slow, negligent, and an overall circus. The management are the clowns. DO NOT EAT HERE.

I really enjoyed Honest Abe's but I discovered that my traveling companions and I were not on the same page... I got the double Fireside burger with jalapeños, bacon, pepper jack, romaine, cumin-lime mayo, and sriracha ketchup. I think everyone else at my table got the United States of America or the Greatest Burger Ever...pretty much standard cheeseburgers and bacon cheeseburgers... We all shared a couple orders of fries. The burgers average $12ish and the sides are $4-5. Fountain drinks...$3ish. They also have a couple salads, chicken nuggets, and kids meals along with shakes for kids of all ages. So it's definitely a little more pricey than typical fast food burgers... Probably more along with lines of a 5 Guys. But like 5 Guys v. other fast food you can tast the quality difference. The beef at Honest Abe's just tastes better... Like it hasn't been frozen, thawed, and frozen again multiple times. Simply stated... It tastes fresh! This location is in a small block of business and available parking is pretty decent. Ordering and payment is done at the front counter and food is brought to you at your table. The menu board is easy to read. Self-serve drinks for in house dining. Seating is mostly low top tables and chairs. There might have been a couple of bench chair combinations along the short wall that seperates the dining and entry areas from the door to the front counter. Inside the restaurant...it was very clean. I'd go back... But probably by myself or with better company. Lol
