Best Casual Restaurants in Lincoln

I cannot say enough about the exceptional food and service at The Green Gateau. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for a perfect evening. The menu is beautifully curated, offering a wide range of dishes that cater to all tastes. I ordered the seafood fettuccine, which came highly recommended, and it was fresh and flavorful. However, a few of the mussels were a bit hard to open. I casually mentioned this to our server, and he went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was flawless. Without hesitation, he had the chef prepare me an entirely new order of mussels, which was absolutely perfect! This level of attentiveness and care is rare to find. Every dish my family had was outstanding, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The ambiance was elegant yet welcoming, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. I am beyond impressed with the team’s dedication to customer satisfaction and the quality of their food. This place has earned a lifelong customer, and I will be recommending it to everyone I know. Thank you for an unforgettable evening!

Screamers is simply incredible! My wife and I had a "date night" dinner at Screamers last evening. It was our first visit, but it certainly won't be our last. Screamers is a perfect example of how a restaurant can be successful when the owner is fully invested in making it a success. As its owner/entertainer/waiter/"chief cook and bottle washer", Kevin Witcher has given Lincoln a truly unique and enjoyable dining experience. If you haven't already done so, join the fun and give Screamers a try. Be prepared for a great evening!

It was very festive and fun. The drinks were fun and unique. I love that they were served in festive mugs. The staff was great. It was a great place to enjoy the holiday season.

Great meal. We ordered two types of hot tea, hot rock beef, fried calamari, Brussels sprouts, 5 different sushi rolls, and fried ice cream. Everything was great. The waitress was amazing. She left us alone to chat and then would magically appear as soon as we needed something. She refilled both of our tea pots like 4 times. It was 15° outside so it tasted good to drink something hot. Some calamari can be really chewy, but this one was really tender and delicious. The rainbow roll, iguana, and crunchy red rolls were our favorites.

Scallops were very good for a Nebraska restaurant serving seafood. However, the scallops came With creamed corn and pesto covered zucchini pasta. Not a good combo whatsoever. The service and ambiance was outstanding and I will def go back again and try something else.
