Stauffer’s Cafe & Pie Shoppe

Great food and staff! Blueberry muffin was so good my boyfriend didn’t want to share!

Everything is fresh home made.. Portion is super big. They cooked hash brown diffderent way. Not oily and crunch. Good coffee and service. I can tell this is long time beloved breakfast place.

Great small town feel, everyone was super nice and friendly. The portion sizes were very generous and most of all delicious. Tons of old people tbh felt a little ostracized because of my age but they have great pie so it makes up for that.

Don’t go ! Dirty, old. The food is just greasy spoon slop. I really don’t know why there are so many of these old places still operating. Doesn’t say a lot for the culinary taste in these parts.

Mmmmm a little on the expensive side for such a low quantity of food. It was the average American food, nothing fancy at all. I ordered the cfs breakfast with eggs and hash browns. The cfs was very small, about a little bigger than a mcdonalds big mac patty. I sat at the bar so the service was fast. I was in and out in 30 mins tops.

Pretty decent breakfast. Service was great. Coffee was pretty good for diner quality, not super dank cowboy coffee. Wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here again. Would eat here again if I was driving by at breakfast time. I didn’t try the pie… Wish I’d have had the munchies because it would have been on since they have like 45 kinds of pie.

Friendly service, home cooked pies and the hot beefs are amazing! Breakfast is great and perfect before a Husker game!

Was looking for a new breakfast spot in town and gave this place a try. Was very happy. Great pies, service, and food. Only reason not 5 starts was the menu could use some more unique items. Pies alone are a 5 star example of the creativity welcomed on a breakfast menu. Will make this out regular spot given the positive attitude of the staff.

Excellent! Hot, fast and freshly prepared. Portions are perfect. Taylor is awesome. Always clean and well maintained. Perfect local eating establishment everyone should frequent.

Have been here several times. Kind of reminds me of a small town diner. Wait staff is always pleasant, they don’t try to push drinks or apps on you.
Most of the customers are older but I have seen families in here before. This would be a great place to take Grandpappie or Aunt Martha to while they are in town.
Food is usually pretty good, lot of home cooked options on the menu. I love the open face turkey sandwich with gravy! It warms the soul. Wife loves the chicken salad sandwich and chili. My only complaint is they sometimes run out of chicken gravy for my sandwich, but there are bigger problems in the world. Get here early for supper, the rush starts around five. :-)
PS: DON’T FORGET THE PIE!

Pie. Yes, the lunches are great, especially the hot roast beef sandwiches. But the pies are celestial, and they taste home-​made, as if they came from your Grandma’s kitchen. This is a must-​visit place when we come to Lincoln.

A great mom and pop café with home cooked food. Plus the pie is PHENOMENAL. Always get some to take home if you can’t finish it after your meal… which is likely because the portions are large especially for the price.
I’m a fan of the strawberry rhubarb and the caramel apple pies, but to be honest, I haven’t really had one that wasn’t delicious!

Great place for breakfast. Always busy. Pie was good. Reminds me of the café back home. Great small town feel.

My husband and I met here for lunch. The soup (labeled beef borscht) had zero seasoning and was just a bowl of canned stewed tomatoes and chunks of beef. The turkey melt tasted good but was just a grilled turkey and cheese that you would make at home on regular white bread. The salad was a bowl of iceberg lettuce. We ordered pie (labeled butterscotch pecan) and it was awful. It was crust with nasty butterscotch pudding with a few pecans sprinkled on top. We will not go back.

Not many places out there still make Gooseberry Pie, but Stauffer’s does and it tastes great!

Terrible service and they weren’t even busy. Food wasn’t great either. Pancakes have an odd wheaty taste. Hashbrowns have no flavor. Bacon was good. Pie was the best part. Won’t be back for breakfast.

I recently ordered breakfast takeout here as well as a slice of pie, since I heard from the locals that this place’s pie was fantastic. The breakfast entrée was all right (I could have made it just as well at home), but was missing the pancake that came with it. I know that mistakes happen, especially during the breakfast rush, but it would have been nice if staff had double-​checked the accuracy of what I was being given so I didn’t have to open it at the counter or in my car. As for the pie, the base and top were very creamy and tasty, but the crust was so insubstantial I could barely tell that it was there. Although the crust was tasty, it needs to be more substantial and actually «support» the pie so it doesn’t flop around. Truthfully, I think the pie is just as good (and the breakfast is just as good if not better!) at the Village Inn. I might be moved to improve this review if I go back and they remember to give me my pancake so I can actually try it!

The best pancakes in town. Their pancakes are the bar I hold all other’s against. The atmosphere is lacking and the service is sometimes slow, but I love the food.

Stauffer’s is a down home friendly kinda place. Always greeted with a smile and a how are you today as we are being seated. We are regulars every Saturday for breakfast and truly enjoy the service and the food. They have a great selection for breakfast and will make other things if asked to. My fav is the breakfast sandwich which is a home made English muffin with a fried egg and topped with bacon & sausage and a slice of american cheese. I know for a fact they have the most amazing pies and other goodie that one can have for dessert. If you are looking for a great breakfast and the hostess with the mostess then hit up Stauffers and ask for Nicole.
BIG LOVE

Pie = 4 stars (tasty and HUGE selection).
Food = 3 stars (all absolutely fine, but fairly generic: burgers, sandwiches, etc).
Friendly and homey atmosphere.
