Welcome

As a big foodie I'm always looking for new restaurants. Lincoln has come a long way in that regard but there's still an Applebee's on every corner. On top of that, reviews or articles on new Lincoln restaurants are tough to find. Jeff Korbelik's features on restaurants in the Journal-Star's Friday Ground Zero supplement aren't, and Jeff has admitted as much, really reviews. I understand that. A bad review in the only place to find information about restaurants in Lincoln would be unfair in that the restaurant would be dead before it had a chance to make positive changes.

The Daily Nebraskan's food critic is definitely a critic and while J.J.'s reviews are fun to read and typically give a real picture of how good or bad a restaurant is, J.J. tends to enjoy eviscerating the place just for the sake of it. Think Homer Simpson's reviews for the Springfield Shopper but with less "chewy?" and more references to old Europe and you'd be on the right track.

Here on the internets, though, I'd like to provide Lincoln Eaters with a more realistic view of what they can expect before they head out on the town. I can't afford to eat out every night or go out for lunch everyday so contributions are encouraged. Did you have a great meal at Venue? A so-so lunch at Duggan's? Did you drive down to the Black Crow in Beatrice only to have Ray tell you how great Bill Bennett is? Let me know about your experience.
