The best in Lincoln: North West

Downtown

Honest Abe’s Burgers & Freedom

I’m pretty sure Honest Abe’s is Lincoln’s favorite burger place. When Alton Brown was in town in 2015, he asked Lincoln where to eat. According to him, they overwhelmingly said Honest Abe’s. The atmosphere is hard to beat and they do a great job with creativity. You can visit once a week and there’s always … Continue reading "Honest Abe’s Burgers & Freedom"

Mulberry BBQ

I went into Mulberry one day and watched them carving a glorious brisket behind the counter. It looked so amazing, I told the cashier I was having it. To this day, that is the best brisket I’ve had anywhere. On a separate visit, the guy at the table next to me was gushing to his … Continue reading "Mulberry BBQ"



Well and Good

Located on Innovation Campus, or the old State Fair Park, in the Scarlet Hotel, Well and Good is in a perfect spot to bring a Nebraska-themed restaurant to Lincoln. They bring things like Dorothy Lynch incorporated in a chef-inspired salad, a chef’s take on Runzas for an appetizer and calling dinner “supper” on the menu. … Continue reading "Well and Good"



Reactor Coffee

There are a lot of coffee shops in Lincoln I love & Reactor is toward the very top of my list. It has everything I want in a coffee shop: a really cool and unique space to have coffee and do a little work that is also quiet. It’s also out of the way and … Continue reading "Reactor Coffee"



Toast

Toast is the gem of Fallbrook in northwest Lincoln. They are located in the neat “downtown” area of Fallbrook which brings a nice setting, especially for outdoor seating in nice weather. I also love that a lot of their trim and fixtures came from Whittier Junior High school, where I have a personal connection to … Continue reading "Toast"



Tia Lety’s

I would call Tia Lety’s something of a hidden gem in Lincoln because it’s location and building don’t exactly scream “go eat there.” But I’m very glad I found it because it is a place I “go eat there” a lot. If I am feeling Papusas, which I do quite a bit, my first thought … Continue reading "Tia Lety’s"



Patty’s Pub

You may like many things about Patty’s because there is a lot to like. Me? I’m addicted to the German Pizza. I’m not going to name my favorite individual slice in Lincoln, but if I did, the German Pizza from Patty’s would lead the conversation.



Pho Factory

When I worked downtown, Pho Factory was a restaurant I visited on a weekly basis. As far as Pho goes, Pho Factory provided the right combination between good Pho in a nice setting to make it a regular lunch spot.



Blessing Thai Restaurant

Your go-to for Thai in the northwest area of town.



Rendang Malaysian Cuisine

Rendang on O Street is a great addition to Lincoln’s food scene. I would highly recommend you go in and see what Malaysian Cuisine is all about, because they do it very well, in my humble opinion.



Villa Amore

Are you looking for good Italian in north Lincoln? Villa Amore delivers. It also delivers enough to make the south Lincoln people (gasp) cross O street too. Take it easy, I’m a south Lincoln person and I get it, but there’s some good food to find up here & Villa Amore is definitely part of … Continue reading "Villa Amore"
