Stopped in for lunch. Had this on our list due to the buzz in town. We had chicken fried steak and the burger. Service was good. Food was not great. Not terrible. The burger was not hot, same with the fries. The steak was also...warm. Clearly they had sat for a bit waiting to be served. I did not finish the burger. We did let our server know and the took 50% off the burger and did not charge for the ice tea we had. I would also say the food bland. Not much flavor. We were surprised a manager did not come by after we let the server know about the cool food. Most places the manager would come by to say they were sorry. Likely not going back as there are other restaurants in town we like better.More

Average diner food. Was a 45 minute wait. Decided to see if the hype was worth it. It wasn’t. Better off going to Village Inn. Same type of quality/quantity and usually no wait.

We decided on the diner as it looked perfect but I think I caught them on a bad day. The waitress was clearly distracted and got everything wrong, I’m not quite sure how she got so much wrong! It also took about 30 minutes to...get our food while others who arrived after us got served. The food was average at best. All up this was a disaster and cat possibly be a normal day as it would go out of business. Think twice!More

Burger was ok but fries cold in center and not even browned. Never saw server again until time for check and didn't notice uneaten food. Sad!

If I've had better diner food, I don't remember it. This place was great. Their biscuits were perfect, they nailed the medium basted eggs, and the poutine was lovely with proper squeaky curds. I will definitely stop here again when I'm driving through Omaha. Five...stars from me, and I almost never give five stars.More

They call it one, but it had spring greens instead of lettuce and what I swear was roast beef instead of ground beef. I couldn't even get cheese because they only had a jack/cheddar combination.

We came here for brunch. There was a 30 minute wait but when we were seated the service was great and the food came out fast. Nice place for brunch. We each had something different .We had a very basic breakfast, a biscuits and gravy,...pancakes, and an omelette. Each meal everyone liked. Plus the coffee was good too. I will say tables are pretty close so it is not very COVID friendly.More

GREAT home-cooked soul food in Millard. I took my kids here today to celebrate a birthday... portions are generous and tasty! But wait for dessert!! The sundaes are ENORMOUS and you have to try the deep fried Oreos or Twinkies... my kids were in HEAVEN....This Millard staple is worth every penny. ❤️More

Ask to be seated in Jon's section, he is attentive and delightful. I have to drink decaf coffee, and the decaf at Shirley's is delicious, best I've had in town! Try the chicken fried steak with real mashed potatoes! Breakfast is available all day and...I love the Eggs Benedict. Their hollandaise sauce is Rich and creamy. Can't beat the price for the super quality food!More

Except for the prices, you could be reading a menu out of the 50's! Food is generous portions and excellent quality. Good place to take the whole family, children would fit right in. No pretention and signature dishes, just wholesome diner food.

We celebrated a family birthday brunch. We all ordered breakfast items. ALL of our orders were HUGE & DELISH! Even though Christmas eve our wait was short. Our wait staff was prompt, efficient and helpful. Making suggestions for a better experience. My omlet with hashbrowns...and pancakes was yummy. Several of us took some home. 1st time, but we will return!More

Go expecting good food in large portions! Many delicious home quality meals. All is good and makes you feel like your mama made it (if mama can cook!).
