Rich and creamy milk-based ice cream with dairy free and gluten free options. They even have a gluten free sugar cone. Specialty flavors are fun and creative. The almond brittle with salted ganache was out of this world - the chocolate chunk sizes are generous and plentiful. Service is very helpful and friendly. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. An instant new favorite when visiting Lincoln.

Honest Abe’s Downtown is hands down one of the best burger spots in Lincoln. Their rotating burger specials are what keep me coming back—they’re always creative, always delicious, and sometimes a little outside the box in the best way possible. One of the biggest surprises for me? Peanut butter on a burger. I had never even considered it before, but after trying one of their specials that featured peanut butter, I was completely hooked. It added this amazing creamy texture and a slight sweetness that balanced perfectly with the savory beef and toppings. Now, I put peanut butter on every burger I make at home—it’s that good. On top of their incredible burgers, Honest Abe’s is also super accommodating. They offer vegan burger options and gluten-free buns, so everyone can enjoy an awesome meal here. Whether you’re adventurous with flavors or need something customized, they’ve got you covered. If you love burgers and want to try something different (and life-changing), this is the place to go!

Great place to have a family dinner. The best part is they have a separate Gluten Free menu. It was nice to be able to choose things I knew were good options for me and my son.

Terrible restaurant. We ate at a similar place in KC many years ago and loved the big salad bar, so we were excited to try the salad bar here. The website makes it sound like its got lots of gluten free options, but the reality of the experience was much different. Food looked like it had been out forever, nothing tasted fresh, most of it was flavorless or terrible tasting. The salad bar itself was small with minimal selections. We instantly regretted our decision to eat here. Barely anyone else in the restaurant and even while we didn't get the meat, the meat looked overcooked and you hardly saw them bringing anything out. Highly recommend to avoid.

Went back after 8 years, wish I just stayed away. Used to be my favorite restaurant. They have let me down. Zero gluten free options that are also meatless, other than their house salad. And my house salad was clearly last nights salad kept in the fridge…it was completely wilted and limp with a Parmesan crisp that had nothing crisp about it. Had to cut, fold and pull apart the fridge cold crisp, that should break when tapped with your fork edge. Sides did not come with our sandwiches , I had the Jamaican jerk wrap with a side salad (it came with no side) and the side salad was not even substituted as a side for gluten free people when their meal came with a side. Would have chosen a different meal, if the rest of my party could have had a real dinner. Unfortunately, a waste of time. Because of their lack of creativity in their food and lack of respect for people with sensitivities, I will not be going back (even though I can eat gluten) because it was that bad.

Giles was absolutely the best waiter we've had in a long time, anywhere! Service was GREAT! Numerous beers available on tap is a plus.... then our food came and no one at my table was disappointed!! Even the Gluten Free buns were on point! The jalapeño raspberry jelly was literally like no other! And the queso was so delicious!! Next time we're in Lincoln we will definitely be back!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went to Naughty Buddha Burger on a friend's rec and it was absolutely worth it. Friendly and helpful cook and cashier. Great space with local art decor. Plenty of parking. Food was excellent. If you are down for vegetarian, vegan or gluten free, it's here. The menu is pretty deep and and the watermelon seasonal salad is outstanding. Food can take a while to come out, so don't go in a hurry.

I called ahead and also talked to the guy at the counter to make sure they had gluten free ice cream options and cones since I have celiac disease. All the allergies were marked with a G for gluten or N for nuts on the menu, so it should have been easy to avoid gluten. But I tried a sample of the bruiseberry and then asked for it on for gluten free cone, and the guy at the counter said there actually is gluten in it, it's just not marked for some reason. So he just said oops and marked it with a G and I had to run to the bathroom and deal with it.

Place was a little hard to find but totally worth it! Anytime school activities take kid/teachers to Lincoln for an event, a box of Hurts Doughnuts comes back! Our first time here and the 2 girls working were welcoming and upbeat! More than happy to help us and were patient even with a growing line behind us. We came on a lucky day that they had gluten-free donuts, yay! So we got my daughter a box of gluten-free donuts and then a big box for the rest of us. We tried a few right when we got back to the hotel, and they are worth the hype! Soft, fluffy, full for flavor, and 😋 sweet! Open 24hours too!! Insane! Definitely stopping here when we come to Lincoln!

The ten of us enjoyed an amazing dining experience, as we celebrated my wife’s birthday last night, at The Oven, downtown. Our server, Tory, set the tone for a relaxing, enjoyable evening. She was calm and helpful, answering each of our questions with confidence and direction as we explored the menu. Our age range was from one to 88 years. Tory assisted in our various dietary needs; including gluten-free, diabetic, and vegetarian requests. She even broke into Spanish when speaking with my mother-in-law, showing her much respect. The food was fresh, flavorful and served hot from the kitchen. I especially enjoyed the eggplant appetizers, and the house favorite Shrimp meal. Their naan is always awesome, but their rice was especially delicious last night. All the food was seasoned well for flavor, yet never too salty. We enjoyed various specialty drinks, my favorite was the gin drink, that Tory recommended, because it went so well with my meal. The place was hopping. So many different groups of people all enjoying themselves. And we never felt rushed. I know that our server didn’t do it all herself, the host, bartenders, cooks and wait staff support were all on point last night. Thanks again, Rob Benton

I was not expecting this in Nebraska...I can enjoy ramen again! There are several gluten free choices and the broth tasted so rich and flavorful. I'm driving through this town and I wish there was a place like this in Denver.

Great medium roast drip! My friend picked up a raspberry scone and I treated myself to a vegan gluten free chocolate chip cookie. Fair priced. Fair portions. Great taste. Will return for a breakfast burrito soon!

Great BBQ place near downtown. A lot of meat options and great sides. They were also well aware of gluten free needs and changed gloves during the process. Please come support them!

Flipped a coin for lunch and Muchachos won. Glad it did! The staff was very friendly (we called twice beforehand with questions about their menu). My friend loved her gluten free lunch and I got the 3 meat platter. Good portion of meat and the sides were good, as well...my son loved the leftovers. We didn’t realize they have breakfast (coffee-really good) and adult beverages. I don’t eat out much but will definitely put Muchachos on my, “go to”, list. I can’t wait to try their breakfast menu.
