Grandmother’s Restaurant and Lounge

SO disappointed you cut karaōke with Dallas on Wednesdays. My friends and I work in the food industry and (as you should know) can’t get out for entertainment on the weekends so we have become regulars here on Wednesdays. Sure, there are slow weeks. But there are so many dedicated regulars who come out for Dallas when they can. Being a Wesleyan student, I have heard from so many of my peers how upset they are about this move. Looks like we’ll be moving to Roca!

Great Sunday buffet. Not too busy, didn’t feel rushed. Great wait staff. Pretty good variety on the buffet, I would say it’s aimed more towards the breakfast crowd as the lunch type options on it are limited to fried chicken and roast beef. The bacon was of a really good quality especially for a buffet. Would definitely recommend.

This place is really nice to go to when I want a beer and some good food without dealing with downtown or any of the divey/​skeevy bars in town. They just got in a new beer, Lincoln’s own zipline, and it’s great.
Food is fairly standard but my favorites include:
— Both the French Onion Soup and the Loaded Baked Potato Soup are really good. I come here just for them.
— Their Smoked Turkey Melt is SERIOUSLY GOOD. Gah. Yes.
— I highly recommend the half sandwich/​cup of soup arrangement, with the reuben. It’s pretty fantastic too.
Favorite specials:
— Mondays: Two Taco Salads for $ 10
— Tuesday — $.40 Wings
— Wed/​Sat: pitchers of beer or liters of margaritas are served with a free order of nachos, onion rings or a relish tray.
I’m solidly meh on the burgers. The dining room draws another indecisive meh, but I love hanging out at the bar. Most of the employees are really nice, and certain ones keep me coming back for the great service.
