You have to try this place! Everything here was so amazing!
The atmosphere alone is worth going here.
The service was great and the food was delicious. The plates are served with a large portion, the pasta is definitely shareable.
If you go here, get there before dark to walk around the outside of the house which is beautifully landscaped and there are all kinds of fun things to see. Once inside be sure to walk around inside through the different rooms and look at the art, pictures, and decor. So much character and charm.
This is a family run business – Nader ((Dad, owner) is the chef, his son was our server. Nader cooks everything made to order and is fresh and delicious!
We had the Coconut Chicken appetizer – OMG – it was so good, and comes in a sharable portion, so enough to share with the table. I would be tempted to order this dish as my entree and then order a salad to go along with it.
They serve these warm dinner rolls with a delicious creamy butter with your soup or salad starter.
You will not leave this place hungry!
The owner came out to greet customers and walked us to the door as we were leaving. He has a great since of humor and had us all laughing. If you are lucky enough he will send you off with a riddle – which we are all still trying to figure out!
Dining here was a great experience and I can’t wait to go back next time we are in town.

Great atmosphere and great food. I’ve eaten at some great steakhouses, including Mortensen‘s, Ruth Chris, Ditkas, Shula‘s, & Fleming‘s. I Believe Billy’s topped all of them. Every aspect of the meal was over the top the potatoes were different than anything I’ve ever eaten, and the dessert was phenomenal. If you’re in Lincoln, Nebraska, this is one stop you have to make.

We had a good meal at this historic place. It was a really cool experience and the food was very good, but it didn’t stand out as great.

What an amazing restaurant. Food was great and service was impeccable, I feel like you don’t get that everywhere anymore. They gave us extra food to taste that we were asking about, made my significant other’s birthday special! Definitely recommend. Lots of food for a great price. Steak was really good, duck breast, crab cakes, soup, bread, and dessert were all amazing! Thanks Jordan and all staff!

I’d heard that Rubens originated in Nebraska. It was said Billy’s has the best so I went to find out. What do I think? I think it might The Best Ruben I’ve ever eaten. Not only is the sandwich spectacular, the fries are cooked to perfection & delicious. Now factor in the first rate service and reasonable prices… BILLYS in Lincoln is a must go. I plan to go back try something else off the menu before I leave town!!
**be aware, it’s huge and it’s messy. Let it cool a little, cut it in half and enjoy

Went here for my birthday and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Everything about the evening was special. Our waiter was professional and provided great menu advice. My partner and I both enjoyed our drinks, appetizer, and entrees. It is a very intimate setting, and you’ll be in a room with as few as one other table. We shared a room with an older couple that were celebrating their anniversary, and they mentioned how they had their wedding reception here, and had a tradition every year to eat there and mark the occasion. Upon hearing it was my birthday, they bought desert for my partner and myself! It was a very memorable experience overall, and perhaps the start of my very own Billy’s dining tradition!

Uniquely Nebraskan place to visit!
Took my boyfriend here for his birthday as he has a history minor – and he was so fascinated with the history of the building! His steak was seasoned and cooked very well. Portions are HUGE. My pasta was delicious. The bread and butter were even better than Texas Roadhouse and we ALL know how good those are so that is saying a lot! Our server was very attentive and generous. Staff gifted my boyfriend with a case of beer to celebrate his birthday.
Decor was absolutely beautiful. It’s as if time is standing still in this building.
Even the bathrooms were gorgeous.
We will definitely be coming back again!!

Billy’s Restaurant serves up the best in steakhouse fare, in the beef paradise of Lincoln, Nebraska, including juicy, savory filet mignon and ribeye steaks, with a respectable selection of salmon, scallops duck, chicken and vegetarian entrees. Housed in an historic home on H Street, the atmosphere is one of cozy elegance with vintage furnishings. Don’t know what to order? No worries. The servers can assist you with their knowledgeable tips on the menu offerings. Sam, Jillian and Patrick welcomed us and made sure that we had everything we needed. The owner visiting with diners is the cherry on top. Skip the chain restaurants; enjoy this cozy, family owned gem.

Very good fine dining restaurant! The people serving and the owner are amazing people! They are super friendly and made sure I was well taken care of. They come and check up on you to make sure the food is good and to make sure you don’t need anything else from them. The food was delicious, I got the steak and my partner got the lamb and they were both so delicious. I would recommend checking this restaurant out! Thank you for serving us.
