I stopped here on a trip driving Route 66. Faded charm would be n overstatement - cheap and friendly diner but doing it tough is the best way to explain this place (and the town)

This ice cream is so good! My favorite is the Raspberry Truffle! This great little find is tucked back in the Arcade Building. Worth the trip! Congratulations Lisa! So happy you followed your dream!
8. Casey's General Store
Reviewed By jeffmY8705JY
I stopped by the new Casey's for a quick lunch.The pizza seems better than I have had in the past. A little thinner and less greasy. The crust also tasted better than usual. The flat bread was okay. The flat bread is a little thicker here than other also a little bland and ridged. Toasting did not seem to help. This Is all Casey's NOT Just This one. They offer a variety of sandwiches and a salad option. No fried Chicken here.

Average for Jimmy Johns but you have to really look to find the building. Look for the Subway and it's across the street.

Great service, but food was disappointing. I had ordered a single steakburger, fries and a cup of chili. The chili was served first but I had to ask for it to be heated in the microwave because it was lukewarm. The fries were cold and looked like they had been fried in old grease. The burger was good!
5. Logan Lanes
Bowling alley with a full sports bar and grill. We are family friendly and also have two indoor golf simulators. Extensive menu not just your typical bowling alley food

We stayed at the Best Western next door, and drove through Lincoln to find someplace to eat. We said lets go back to the Bowling Alley and see what they have. Glad we did. I had the Spicey Chicken Sandwich, AWESOME. My wife had a cheese burger, she loved it, Our friend thats a girl, had the Mac-N-Chez wedges. Those were all of our favorites. We ordered more cheese wedges. The drinks were as stiff as you would want them and reasonable. We all 3 ate and drank for $30. Them wobbled back to the hotel. The people were all very friendly too!!!

Arrived at 11am. Restaurant was not busy, mostly empty. Seated immedietly. Asked for coffee. Ordered 2 breakfasts. By then dining was half full. Orders started to come out for people that came in after us. Had to find waitress to ask for a coffee refill. She said she would check on our order. When it finally came, potato casserole was cold and hotcakes were undercooked and doughy. Sent back items for replacements. 15 min later replacements came out. By then we had finished the rest of our meal. Never got a third cup of coffee. $2.50 for coffee, ridiculous. 2 scrambled eggs looked like one. All this while in sight of the dining manager. What a joke she is. We had always liked the Cracker Barrel chain, no more. We will find a small diner from now on. Better food for your money.

My wife and I stopped in this restaurant for breakfast. The service was very good. Only thing Iâd change is come back and refill coffee more often. Breakfast was great home style cooking. Prices are very reasonable.

I ordered a Rueben Sandwich with cole slaw and chips and was very happy with my choice. The menu has cute dog themed names for everything. The restaurant is in a historic building and we really enjoyed the atmosphere.

We went here for fried ravioli. Didnât get it. I had their small prime rib. Done perfectly, and was about twice what I could eat! My wife had penne pasta with marinara and meatballs. The sauce was excellent, the meatballs good, but the pasta was over cooked. Still was very good. The salad bar was excellent, and included home made bread. Super good dinner, good service. I will be back for the ravioli
