Dino’s Eastside Grille

Sucker for their Sunday brunch!

Food is good. They have specials every week day, and can optionally sign up for text message specials that are good.
Sometimes service though is hit and miss; meaning one time you will go and service is amazing while the next time you go and service is poor.
Great menu selection. Pizzas are good, as well as the prime rib sandwich, the Cuban and also burgers.
Great portions and awesome prices. Check specials as there are nights where kids eat free and a 5 $ burger and fry night.

This was my third visit to Dino’s and so far aces! Had the flat iron steak twice now and it’s been exactly the same both times excellent and cooked to a perfect medium rare. My wife had a burger and we shared a desert and appetizer. Had a moderate priced bottle of wine and great service, Sunday brunch is great too!

This place excels at being both a bar and a restaurant. The interior is clean and tastefully decorated. There are a lot of tv sets that are well-​placed for watching sports in almost any part of the bar. The drinks are good and well-​crafted. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. My husband and I have came for ½ priced wine night on Thursdays which is a good deal. The wings, burgers, and pizzas are delicious. The combination of original flavors and well-​executed staple items makes for a good eating experience. Additionally, the sunday brunch has a great selection of items and I can always find something that I really enjoy. The wait staff are friendly, quick, and responsive. Overall, whether you are looking for a bar or a restaurant, the staff at Dinos do a good job of providing a great experience. I have to also add that they have a video game area for kids or adults. I’ve heard that there are television sets in the men’s restroom as well. It’s the little things!

Good food and atmosphere; poor choice of NFL games on Sunday. Only 2 games available to watch.

Ah where to start… First time had the chicken lettuce wraps, great flavor in everything that accompanied it. The lettuce was completely wrong. You can’t make a wrap out of that. See picture below. The vein is too thick so you cant roll it. It was a hot mess. It should be ice berg off the head or butter lettuce not romaine .I recommend the chef or owner literally try to eat that and see what happens, I did not look lady like covered in sauce.
Second experience…
Ordered the Rachel and loaded mashed potatoes, it was listed on the menu as on option. My mash came out plain and I asked if she could bring the toppings and I would just add them. By the end of my meal she brought them out and it was a cup of sour cream and shredded cheese. In my experience «loaded» means sour cream, cheese, bacon bits and green onion. That was not the case and Only had like 6 bites left not even worth it, but was charged for it. 3^rd and last time…
I had the prime rib dip sandwich which had decent flavor… Until on my last bite of the first half and got a nickel size piece of bone
In my mouth. I give them props for it actually being shaved off the bone prime rib but the bone chunk ruined my meal. Told our waiter and the manager came over, apologized and took it. Nothing was offered and when we got the bill it wasn’t on there which was nice but he could have said something as we just sat there like? I’m sure a lot of people like this place and I get why, it’s a really great location for our neighborhood, great atmosphere and everyone is nice. The food I just haven’t had a good experience with yet, maybe some time

I have eaten here many times and the food has always been good. The roasted red pepper with provolone soup is absolutely the best! Their pizzas are also very good. The service is always attentive without being intrusive.

We met some friends for a little celebration. The food was ok and the drink specials were good. The server was attentive and we had a nice meal. Overall, a decent place to have a meal.

We came here on a Thursday night with a large party. We made reservations a few days ahead of time to make sure they can accommodate about 30 people. When we arrived, they seated us in the back, which had a completely different atmosphere from their regular restaurant. While the main dining area was dimly lit and had nice décor, our party room was fully lit and looked bland.
Our server was nice and tried her best to tend to the large party. She was the only one serving us so it took a very long time to get our drinks and orders in. After waiting for about 25 minutes, our dishes finally came out.
Food: The food was quality was ok. We started out with the chips and queso, which was pretty good. They used restaurant style chips and there was enough queso for all the chips. My friend ordered the chicken strips dinner and was disappointed that it came with only three strips for 10 bucks. If it was not for the large plate and the heaping of fries under it, it could have easily passed for a kid’s meal! I got the fish and chips which were also ok… could have used more seasoning on the fish before batter and frying. If I were to come back, I would probably try the fish or the steak salad.

Ordered a Magarita calazon (it’s only cheese & basil people geeze) they charged $ 2 MORE than the everything calazon with meat! Plus the women was b*t*chy about it. Like it was a total pain.
Not the money really, hate being charged more for LESS, sure put a bad taste in the mouth. Done with DiNOs

This place was so yummy. Best service also. Had a pregnant waitress that was handling more tables than ever and doing it better than any service I had ever gotten before, with an amazing happy attitude to boot. I had the buffalo chicken wrap was so yummy. everyone got something different and I tried them all very yummy. We got one of each of the deserts and they were crazy yummy. Only downside was my fries were a little salty but if they haven’t been they would of been the best fries. Cannot wait to bring my family here next time they are in town. The price is even great and I loved the atmosphere they will too! You know it’s great service when she brings you and the table a total of 4 refills and you don’t realize your drinking that much soda till you can’t finish lunch. Haha

Came here with a colleague to check it out. Pretty fancy looking sports bar, but I like it. Our waitress was super attentive and nice. The food was superb! I had the cedar plank salmon and he had the reuben sandwich. Both were quite delectable! I def come back and try their pizza once i get a little more time to eat.

Ambiance:
For being a sports bar it’s actually fairly nice. It seems that the owners of this place was able to marry the sporting atmosphere with a more upscale place with a family feel to it. Needless to say I was impressed and will be returning in the future.
Customer base:
I must admit, walking in on a late Sunday morning in jeans, a tee shirt, and a 7 month baby; I felt a little underdressed at first. However, no one batted an eye and after looking into the crowd found that my family and I fit in well. Most of the children seemed well behaved and their parents respectful.
Food:
$ 13.99 for an all-​you-​can-​eat buffet with more than delectable, well stocked, and continually monitored by a group of hostesses. Delicious to say the least! Try their hash brown potato Casserole with crispy topping, second helpings please?
Staff:
Pleasant, although very busy for a packed Sunday afternoon. This is probably my only complaint, but I never did get my refill of Dr. Pepper.

We have eaten at Dino’s many many times and there is something to be said for consistency and the occasional pleasant surprise. The food selection has been very consistent since they opened and some of my favorites are their wood fired pizza’s, flat iron steak, salmon and salmon salad, chicken wraps, and burgers. Every time we have been to Dino’s their the food has been consistently good, not blow your socks off but in the exceptional category for a family sports bar in Lincoln.
Service has always been prompt, the only exception was the first year they tried their Easter Brunch, which I expected. Bar selection is broad enough for most, wine selection is good with a smattering of good to great wines, enough even for the wine lovers but maybe not the snob. Beer selection is good enough to satisfy most with IPA’s, Ales, Lagers, Pilsner and ESB’s as well as plenty of Lite beer selections for those who prefer them.
Atmosphere is wide open with plenty of 47−60″ screens to see from really any seating position, but not distracting from conversation. Kitchens location is perfect and offers no seating area any disruption. Bar seating is very good as well. A large Group
available by request I believe. Rest rooms are very clean and in a convenient location. Very kid friendly.
Other notes: Fries are always good quality, chicken strips for kids are excellent. Only thing to improve upon from my perspective would be the menu variety for my spouse and the Vegan/​Vegetarian offerings for my daughter and the quality of Nachos for me. I could go on and on but I hope this offers enough info for you to choose Dino’s. I don’t believe you can be disappointed unless you are in a bad mood to begin with or you’re trying to find fault. Or unless you hate consistency.

I had one of the best specialty pizzas I’ve ever had when I was there. Oh man, the Thai pizza with peanut sauce is out of this world. They have gluten free crusts and a good selection of options on their menu.
The service was good, we were seated promptly and our order taken right away. Water glasses were always full and food came out quickly. Our server was really friendly and I enjoyed the meal a lot.
It’s a pretty open place with chairs and tables, a big bar and lots of TVs with sports playing. Not exactly a cozy atmosphere, but I don’t think that’s what they’re going for!
Price was really affordable and the pizza was so filling I took some home and enjoyed it the next day! I’ll be back for that delicious pizza again soon.

We went to Dino’s with our four teenagers for dinner. We sat in one of the giant booths and it was so great because we could all see each other, AND hear each other! Dino’s is a wonderful family restaurant where we can all order what we want and we know we will receive great service! Our server was very good and our meals were all yummy!
We will be going back again!

Being a regular and have tried many items on the menu I have to say that Dino’s serves quality food. I come often for their pizzas, burgers, and steaks.
I thought about giving 4 stars because there are times when it takes a while for the food to get out of the kitchen but that’s almost always because they’ve been busy.
Servers are polite and friendly.
Yes I’ve been here enough times to see them make mistakes but don’t be shy you’re not being a jerk if they messed up your order. Just tell the server or talk to the manager and they will make it right. I’ve only ever seen servers take responsibility and managers comp meals to resolve a complaint.

I’ve been here a couple of times and have generally been pretty satisfied. However, the most recent visit left me disappointed.
We started with the «Mega Nachos» which were (dare I say) too loaded with toppings. The big downer was that the waitress added beef to the nachos even though we decided against the upgrade. My vegetarian guest wasn’t thrilled. This mistake also resulted in an extra $ 2 added to our bill. Of course, we didn’t say anything because we aren’t jerks. But there’s that saying… the customer who just smiles and says nothing is also the customer who doesn’t come back!
The entrees were fair. Typical American bar food. The margarita pizza was loaded with way too much cheese, the basil wasn’t very potent, and the tomatoes seemed like an afterthought. The crust, however, was tasty. It was much better once we had adjusted the slice flavor-​to-​cheese ratio by removing most of it. The attitude of the place seems to be tactless excess without subtlety of flavor or technique. Fairly middle of the road in terms of quality and the menu is forgettable. Would love to return once the restaurant figures out what it is and how to please its customers.

Dino’s was a great experience on Sunday afternoon. We had originally planned on making it to Sunday Brunch, but just missed it. The waitress quickly pointed out that it was happy hour (around 3pm) and apps were half off. I think they had a good deal on drinks too but we were not drinking. I was blown away by the caliber of steak and presentation. If I lived on this side of town, I would definitely visit more often. The waitress made helpful suggestions and got me green beans instead of the bland sounding vegetable medley on the menu. Best green beans ever — I know right? Everything was perfect — something I did not expect. The reviewer that said that this place looks like a bar, eats like a restaurant — is right on the money. A good place to unwind with girlfriends, drink with a buddy or for a casual date.
I’ve just moved to Lincoln a few weeks ago and one of the things that struck me instantly was the lack of good restaurants in the area. Of the handful of places I’ve had a chance to try — this is my favorite.

So I’ve never actually eaten AT Dino’s but I’ve eaten their food several times and really enjoyed it. At work, we often have food catered and one of the big hits is Dino’s brunch. It’s seriously one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever ever ever had. The biscuits and gravy are the best. I would LOVE to have the recipe. I’ve also had the eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, monkey bread, possibly more.
My husband and I ordered take out one time. We each got mini pizzas and shared hot wings. The pizzas were really great.
I don’t know about the atmosphere. It looks like there is a lot of seating. Looks fun, busy.
