I liked the meal although, I feel the meal was a lot better the 1st time I went which is why I wanted to visit again. The ribeye was cooked perfectly but it tasted old. Hashbrowns were just a little lukewarm but eggs and pancakes were perfect temp and cooked very well. I also ordered a side of mashed potatoes and gravy bc the 1st time it was so delicious; bringing back childhood memories but not so this time.

We had a wonderful experience! We were seated right away, and even though the place was busy, our waiter Paul greeted us immediately and took great care of us. He checked in often to make sure everything was perfect. Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. My picky daughter loved the breakfast wrap. I enjoyed the French toast combo, and my partner couldn’t get enough of the Penelope’s combo. We highly recommend this place!

Really cute little cafe. I just had a veggie omelette, but it was delicious. The inside is so cozy and the staff are so friendly. The prices are not too bad at about $11 for my meal. The only downside is the small parking lot that fills up quick, but that’s not the restaurant’s fault.

Our steak and eggs were absolute perfection. Corn-fed Nebraska beef was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was so flavorful it didn’t need more than salt n pepper for flavoring… the beef did all the talking. Rounded off with farm fresh eggs and handmade hashbrowns topped off with excellent customer service.

Penelope’s is a true hole-in-the-wall hidden gem. Our first (and definitely not our last) visit was thanks to a friend who told me how yummy Penelope’s is.
I can confidently say that I agree with my friend! Our amazing server, Ramona was a rockstar. She served us coffee right away, explained and sold us on the day’s specials. She described these meals so well with enthusiasm, we had to get both specials.
My husband and I indulged in the chicken fried steak skillet for $12.99 and the stuffed very berry French toast. Both meals did not disappoint and I would strongly recommend.
Our food came out quickly. I can see why this restaurant has won many awards!
I just wish they had more parking to accommodate their customers.
Our meal came out to $37. This included my toddler’s kids meal as well.
I highly recommend this place for breakfast!

This small business has always been amazing. Great food and customer service, you can tell they care about the service they provide. Great prices as well. I’ve been going here for years now and it never disappoints and I’ve never had issues there. The other day I lost my oura ring and tracked it back to the restaurant. Staff was beyond helpful, taking my name and number, and also letting me in after closing to look for it.

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. I’ve accidentally made it a habit to come here for a good meal when my work starts to wear me down, and it never disappoints. All the food is solid classic diner food, and their meal of the day is always on point. This place is such a hidden gem in Lincoln

The service was great, our waitress was very attentative and it was busy. The food was really good, the pancake for the kids was massive and my eggs (over easy) were cooked perfectly. The chicken fried steak was definitely a frozen chicken fried steak and Im admittedly a CFS snob. The sausage gravy was said to be homemade and it was good, could use more seasoning for me but I prefer heavily seasoned more than most. Would return just probably wouldn’t get CFS, their omelets looked amazing so will try that next time.
The inside looked great with a nice decor; howeve, there was a lot of dust on the ceiling on some of their decorations they have hanging above everyone.
I would definitely recommend this place though and will be back.

This little cafe is a Nebraska experience of small, cozy, casual dining that’s not fancy but good service, and tasty food. I had a black bean burger with American cheese and cottage cheese for the side. It was perfect for my medium to small appetite. They do have a couple of vegetarian options too. The waitstaff told me my burger came with American cheese but when I recieved it, no cheese. So i returned and asked for cheese on top. No biggie. Nice folks.

I like to start with the best part of the experience! Service wins here!
Service 5* The cafe was super busy, the servers were working their tails off trying to get food out and make sure customers were taken care of. Our server was very friendly and checked in a few times throughout the meal.
Atmosphere 4* On a Sunday morning it was super busy, which is always a good sign! Restaurant was clean, a few places inside for parties to wait on a table. I like that you just sign in yourself.
I personally don’t like the small tables right next to others. I enjoy a little space between me and other diners. It was a colder morning, think in the 30’s. With all the people in and out I never could get comfortable, even leaving my jacket on the whole meal.
Food: 4* Eggs, hash browns, and toast were great! Over easy eggs were cooked well, hash browns were crispy. I was really excited for the funnel cake French toast, however it had an over oily taste to it. Not sure if it was older oil, or just wasn’t drained after pulling.
Husband said his chicken fried steak was similar to other restaurants. I enjoyed the crispy shell, but the gravy was not my favorite due to the consistency.
I would try this restaurant again, we were talking with a family in the waiting area (before eating) and they go here every Sunday. Heard another server say “see ya next Sunday” to another customer as they were leaving. They clearly have great service here and connection with customers.
