Loved this spot! We were looking for a brunch place and I'm so glad we decided to stop in. The portions are super generous, which we really appreciated, and our server was fantastic and took great care of us. I ordered the Veggie Hashbrown Platter and it was so good, full of flavor and the eggs cooked exactly how I like them. It came with a side, and I chose the small pancake, which ended up being way bigger than I expected, basically the size of the plate. It honestly made my morning. My husband got the Two Eggs, Hash Browns & Meat and was really happy with his meal too. He went with bacon as his choice of meat. Overall, great portions, great service, and we'd definitely come back again. read more

I've only tried the pie, but that was enough to make me want to try much more! I've searched everywhere for a good gluten-free pie and Stauffer's did not disappoint! I had the strawberry rhubarb and the blueberry and both had a perfect crust and amazing filling. The strawberry rhubarb is the perfect balance of sweet and tart, while the blueberry is an indulgent sweet treat. read more

The food was great besides the hashbrowns being a little undercooked, others wise it was good. The service however was not so great. Not sure how it works there but our server did not check on us once after we got our food. I watched her look at our table, didn't ask if we needed anything, like a box, and she just walked away. I guess I don't know if we are just supposed to go up and pay, or wait for a ticket. It just sucks cause she was helping a table right next to us too and still didn't acknowledge us. read more

We were nearby and I decided to call in a order to go. The lady who answered was very friendly and helpful. Ordered omelet and biscuits and gravy. We had to get French silk pie- The foil inside the cartons kept the breakfast warm. Great home cooked breakfast! The pie selection is hard to choose from!! Wonderful place!! read more

French dips was Trash. Meat was so dry it didn't seem right. I thought it was dry carnitas. Turns out it's in fact roast beef. I've never had roast beef that looks like pork. Prices gouging to the max As well. No attempt to rectify the problem When asked 'how's the meal?' Wasn't rude but not coming back. read more

Authentic home cooked meals with the best pie you can imagine. So many choices for dinner and so many choices for dessert. You cannot go wrong with selecting this place for your breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Or if you just want A dessert, I highly recommend this location. When I am back visiting from Florida, this is a place I come a few times. I love the hot beef sandwich. Reminds me of my Mom and Grandma's home cooking. The coconut cream pie is one of the best I have had. Although I have had multiple flavors and all are amazing. read more

If a restaurant delivers exactly what you expect it to, you give in five stars. It is, and I did. There is nothing fancy here, no talk of "kicking it up a notch". It is simply good, old fashioned, honest, unpretentious American fare. Go there and feed your memories. read more

Nice simple small town feeling cafe, our waitress was fast and friendly, we went for breakfast, decent menu nothing fancy just nice and simple, hearty portions to get the fuel going on the morning, overall decent experience, I probably won't be back for breakfast but might try lunch or a slice of pie next time. read more

It's a diner, for better or worse. The food is fine, nothing is great or terrible and not over/under priced. The coffee is strong. Breakfast is best. It's at its best before 8am, when all the local regulars are in trading stories about the good ol days and the waitresses know everyone's name. Basically, you know exactly what you're getting with a diner. You either like it or you don't. read more

We ate lunch here every chance we can because the food is solid good comfort food at a great price. It is the cleanest restaurant around and gives fast service. read more

Great place for pie and comfort food. Large servings, nice waitresses. We like the breakfast choices and the turkey special.

I love a good diner. Good portions and selection. We had pie, but honestly the meals were better than the pies we chose. Sadly, the pecan rolls were sold out. The Hot beef was delicious and so was the BLT. Prices were a bit high for a diner, but I would still come back if in the area. read more

Great food and great service. Highly recommended!!! When in Lincoln a must do food experience.

I was just there a coupld of days ago. The waitress was incredibly rude. She acted like my mom and I should have known the menu by heart before getting there, and the waitress sighed and huffed when we didn't have a selection right away. She never told us about specials or recommended anything, just acted like we were a huge bother in the less than one third occupied restaurant more than two hours before they were set to close. I had a coupon for 1/2 off of an entree with another entree and two drinks purchased. When the waitress brought the drinks, one had a straw that was obviously crushed and bent several times, while the other drink didn't have a straw at all. She never brought usable straws. The club sandwich had chunks of processed turkey and ham, and my mom had to ask for mayo. My rueben had a tiny amount of corned beef, but a lot of grease. The fries we both got as sides were ok. The vegetable, which I thought I would have preferred, was peas on Tuesday--thankfully the waitress did mention that. There wasn't any coleslaw offered as a side, which I thought was odd especially since fish and chips is on their menu. We did opt for pie, which I thought might redeem the restaurant, but it didn't. My mom did like her lemon meringue choice well enough, but the custard pie was inedible. I was hoping the custard pie would be like chess pie, but it wasn't sweet. It was mealy and grainy at the same time. The crust was super soggy. I left it, and the unattentive waitress didn't care. When the waitress brought the check, I noticed that they didn't even actually take off 50% of the lower priced entree. So much for the coupon--maybe they're just bad at math. For the two entrees, two soda pops, and two slices of pie, with the underused coupon and tip, I paid about $50, which is a rip off. In any case, I'll never go back. read more

the omelets come with one slice of cheese slapped right in the middle, gravy is salty as hell and the butter is gritty

The Pie Shoppe makes an absolutely great banana cream pie. Normally the pie is served with a cream topping. They made one special for me with a meringue top. Just like grandma used to make. Breakfast is great also. read more

If you're craving a pecan roll I highly recommend them! The biscuits and gravy we ordered were also delicious. read more

Have eaten here several times when I return to Lincoln. Always enjoyed the great good and excellent staff. Tried it again the other day and it was HORRIBLE!! Had a "chicken fried steak" that was horrible!!! It was frozen and small!!! Then I tasted the "green bean casserole" which was always great. YECH!! Took 2 bites and that was it. A friend ordered a pancake....it was burned on the outer edges. The remark was terrible!!! And this USED to be his favorite place to eat. We took a chance and had a piece of pie. It was ok but not great. I understand the place has a new owner. That might explain the change of quality. I know I won't be eating here ever again. read more

Reviews rave about the pies. I ordered 5 of them and detoured on my multi-state drive to go here in particular. I was very excited. And sadly, disappointed. First, the order was not ready when I had ordered well ahead. Second....the pies were just way too sweet. read more

The food rizzed me up. The waiter had a level 10 gyatt. If you come you must try the Dutch apple pie

Good but not great - food, service and ambiance- food looked great but mine wasn't cold but close. I really thought the coffee would be great it was not. I might give it another try, saw a lot of food that looked delish. read more

It is a go to restaurant in Lincoln! Whether it's their famous pies, comfort food, etc. you won't go wrong if you visit Stauffers.

Food was delicious, especially the coconut cream pie! Waitress was friendly. The hours say it's closed on Sunday, but it is open! Go get some pie! read more

I'm conflicted on this one. I really love the concept and want to like it. The service is great, the portions are generous and they serve the kind of filling comfort food that I love ... but ... the two times I've been there the food has been really bland, like hospital food bland. I've only been there twice, so I'm going to go back again to try to find something I like. At this point though, I love the service and the value, but I just can't say that I like the food much at all. read more

For breakfast this is an excellent job. However need to be picky withf ordering lunch or dinner as it comes out tasting old and makes it a challenge to eat the food. The service is good at all times always helpful. Never had to wait for long for service. read more

Great place for breakfast. Always busy. Pie was good. Reminds me of the cafe back home. Great small town feel. read more

Consistently consistent. Servers are fantastic and have been there for years and years. Breakfast is my favorite meal at Stauffer's, followed closely by lunch. If you want straight up classic American food this is your place! House made hash browns and beautiful cinnamon rolls get things started in the morning. Egg combos, pancakes, bacon or sausage, all the usuals are there. Great coffee! Nice omelettes are also featured in the all-day breakfast service. The rest of the menu includes great house made soups, fresh salads, and all the basics. Hot beef or turkey sandwich, meatloaf, basic burgers and daily features. Something for everyone here. Pie is what they're known for and with good reason. The variety of offerings daily is incredible. My personal favorite is the hot apple dumpling. Consistency. If that's your jam, this is your place. read more

Good food at reasonable prices. Their biscuits and gravy are especially tasty. In addition, the cinnamon rolls they serve are the size of your head. Any of their pies are outstanding, as well. Traditional Midwestern American fare. The staff is especially friendly and helpful-always smiling. Highly recommend. read more

Stauffer's is a down home friendly kinda place. Always greeted with a smile and a how are you today as we are being seated. We are regulars every Saturday for breakfast and truly enjoy the service and the food. They have a great selection for breakfast and will make other things if asked to. My fav is the breakfast sandwich which is a home made English muffin with a fried egg and topped with bacon & sausage and a slice of american cheese. I know for a fact they have the most amazing pies and other goodie that one can have for dessert. If you are looking for a great breakfast and the hostess with the mostess then hit up Stauffers and ask for Nicole. BIG LOVE read more

I hoped for the best but expected the worst. After waiting 45 minutes my girlfriends and My lunch were cold , burnt, and server brought out dessert, 2 pieces of pie that looked like had been baked 2 weeks ago. The pie filling ran out from the crust leaving a hollow Void. The wait staff reheated all food . One extreme to another, as All food looked as if had Heated with a blow torch. After all food ( DARE I CALL WHAT REMAINED FOOD) was brought to the table a second time and the Owner walked over to table , shook my hand and said " enjoy your meal" . He could see that the food had been in a furnace but would not acknowledge the disaster. We paid , but I PROMISE YOU WE WILL NEVER RETURN STAUFFERS ROAD KILL CAFE!!! read more

Excellent home style food at a locally owned place. The Chicken Fried Steak was fork tender. the helpings are large and the service is very good. More of an old time diner feel without just being made to look that way. Home made pies also. Family owned and operated. read more

Ot was ok. Probably won't go back. Didnt get offered more coffee and she didn't come back so we could ask. Hashbrowns were more like mashed potatoes. Not alot of flavor. But the food was hot, so that's good. read more

You can never go wrong with this place. Portions are huge, service is friendly and food is delicious. We keep coming back almost weekly

went to eat breakfast around 1045am granted they were busy but we usually eat fairly quick! but not today! only 5 of us went in and it took a long time once we ordered our drinks and coffee around 20 minutes. then we ordered our food and the waitress came back and said that they were out of biscuits but they were making some and will take 20 minutes and we said that is fine. after sitting for over one hour and other tables were getting the food they had ordered and keep in mind that we were there way before the other tables were. waitress kept saying that we were next on the list. turned out to be a lie! finally after 1 and a half hours we got up to go! never again will we go back! read more

I would give it another 1/2 star if I could. I've been a couple of times. I really like the first time I went and I had the roast beef melt. It was really good. We had fried mushrooms for an app and great as well. I also had a bite of a patty melt, which was also great. We We also took home a caramel apple pie that was amazing. The second time we went, I had chicken fried steak. It was just ok. I tried a bite of something else, but it was forgettable enough that I don't remember what it even was. I ordered some pecan pie and the inside was like a bread pudding consistency and not good. It's the first pecan pie I have ever had and didn't like. The server was nice enough to take it off the bill. Service both times I have been there has been great. I think if I stick with the sandwiches and not the dinners, it would be 5 stars for me. I will still go back there quite a bit. read more

I don't have much to say about this place except this: you won't get food this good at the Egg & I or Jimmy's Egg. They had to pick me up off the floor when I saw the cinnamon roll. Then I tasted it and it is exceptional. Everything I've had here is exceptional in case you were wondering. read more

Just an average mom and pop diner with above average food until you have the pie. Typically I don't eat dessert however I do love a good slice of cherry pie and withthe name I had to try a piece. I was not disappointed. The crust is flaky and fresh. The filling is overflowing. I felt for a moment as if I was in my grandma's kitchen. I had to force myself to stop eating the slice was so big. Well worth the visit! read more
