Definitely a great diner here! Friendly staff with comfy food.
Pancakes were pretty solid, didn’t go wrong and were huge. Kinda fluffy but a little bit dry.
Pumpkin pie was not my type. The crust was flavorless while the pumpkin was strong. The whipped cream on top really helped balance it.

We come for breakfast at least three days a week. Service is ALWAYS above average, the waitstaff is very attentive amd friendly. The food is perfect portions, always cooked to perfection and very good. The establishment is very clean, decorated tastefully and the windows add for a great view. I love the openness of the restaurant which can accomodafe larger parties and you don’t feel jam packed into your table. They also have a new little coffee bar with flavored ice coffees-which adds for a nice touch to your meal. I definitely recommend the downtowner. 10/10

A group of us came here with 4 kids and ate outside, very child friendly area as there is a fence to keep them from running into the street and yet allow them room to roam while we ate and talked. I tried the Philly cheesesteak and it was one of the best I have ever had! The waitress was super helpful and friendly even with our large group and did an amazing job. I would definitely come here again!

We came to Nebraska city on a weekend getaway just the two of us. Decided to go here on a whim because the breakfast at the hotel didn’t pique our interest. So glad we did! I had an Asiago bagel sandwich that came with a side of hash browns (I believe it was a special) and my husband ate their flapjack special (regular menu item). Everything was obviously homemade from the Asiago bagel to the hash browns. The Asiago bagel sandwich was absolutely delicious and my husband said the pancakes were some of the best he had ever had! Everything was so good we went back for more the next day!

We had breakfast items and lunch items from the menu. I can’t say enough good things about this locally owned downtown cafe. It has everything you would want from an all day diner. The pancakes were light, fluffy & delicious, so much so, our grandson ate his without syrup!
The bacon was cooked to perfection, it was a thick cut, but had just enough marbling that when cooked well, it was not too lean or too fatty. Each bite was a chewy, crispy and perfectly delightful mouthful.
The French fries were hand cut (I believe) and we’re crunchy on the outside with a delicate potato on the inside. They were not overly salted or greasy on the plate as so many fries are.
My Grilled chicken breast club sandwich was piled high with more of their perfectly cooked Delicious BACON, plus gooey melted Swiss cheese, lettuce+tomato+(pickle on the side) on a lightly grilled brioche bun.
Everything on the menu was priced moderately and portions were quite generous! The kitchen & restrooms were very clean and the customer service was exemplary. The Downtowner Cafe gets our family’s 5 Star rating and in today’s dining experience that’s quite rare. Highly Recommended on your next visit or passing through Nebraska City.

Established in 2019, I was happy to see how busy and full of energy this restaurant is.
Very tasty food, nice presentation and very affordable.
Service was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
I didn’t want toast with my veggie hash and eggs so the waitress offered a pancake substitute which I chose. There was an up charge, which she did not mention. I am bothered when there are unmentioned hidden charges. That being said, the pancake had an unusual and delicious flavor and texture.
This was a wonderful and vibrant restaurant!
