Tokyo Steak and Seafood House
They chop the food and cook it at your table. Fresh and tasty -- a
little more expensive

A couple of others that just came to mind:
Duffy's Tavern -- burgers, soups, stews, and other sandwiches. Near downtown
The Isles -- pizza, beer, and (often) live music. Havelock area
Tico's -- Semi-traditional Mexican food, margharita's -- downtown.

I'll think about this and send a list. I know a few less well known spots.

One of my favorites is The Steak House. Really good food and nice ambience.

Great China Buffet

6145 O Street, Lincoln, NE 68510-2236 (402) 489-6666 Hu Hot is popular and kind of fun  but I see you have one in Omaha.A special Lincoln spot,  if you’re as old as I am, is Lee’s.   I still like it.

Restaurants...non-dine-out?

JT:

 I once read an article in the Journal-Star about pizza in Lincoln...2 columns, 10 or 11 inches.  At the very end, its author said,"Of course, the best of the best of the best will always be

the Isles Lounge in Havelock." Oh, you betcha!  JT
