Top 10 Restaurants Near Martha’s Bed & Breakfast in Lincoln, NE

There’s something magical about waking up in a charming bed and breakfast, sunlight pouring in, the smell of fresh coffee, the kind of silence that feels like a warm hug, but after a day of exploring Lincoln (or maybe just lounging in your room like royalty), you need food, not just any food. I’m talking about food that makes your eyes close involuntarily after the first bite. Food that makes you say things like “Oh my God” in public and not care who hears.

These aren’t just random picks off the internet. They’re the places locals rave about, the ones travelers can’t stop talking about, and the ones that consistently deliver unforgettable meals. So here’s your guide to 10 restaurants near Martha’s Bed & Breakfast that will more than satisfy your appetite.

1. The Oven

Best for Indian cuisine that slaps your taste buds awake

This place doesn’t mess around. Whether you go for the classic Chicken Tikka Masala or want to set your soul on fire with the Lamb Vindaloo, The Oven delivers rich, slow-cooked flavors with quiet confidence. The naan is buttery, blistered, and baked to perfection. They have a wine cellar that could make a French sommelier weep. Ask to see it.

2. Lazlo’s Brewery & Grill

Best for burgers, beer, and casual cool vibes

Lazlo’s is what happens when a sports bar grows up, reads Hemingway, and decides to make good food. Get the Lazlo Burger or the Prime Rib Sandwich, pair it with their house-brewed craft beer, and you’re in for a good night. The beer cheese soup is illegal levels of comfort.

3. LeadBelly

Best for wild, weird, and absolutely delicious sandwiches

These people put peanut butter and bacon on a burger and called it The Full Leaded Jacket. I judged them. Then I ate it. Now I kneel before them. They serve food like a dare and somehow always pull it off. They have killer fries and a rooftop patio when weather permits.

4. The Green Gateau

Best for upscale comfort food in a cozy, vintage setting

The Green Gateau feels like the kind of place where Hemingway would’ve sipped espresso and rewritten a love letter. Think white tablecloths, exposed brick, and food that tastes like a warm hug from someone who really knows their sauces. The brunch is legendary, and the dinner is  even better. Try the Crab Cake Benedict or the Steak Diane. Then order dessert even if you’re full. Your future self will thank you.

5. Blue Orchid

Best for Thai food that doesn’t hold back

Blue Orchid has the kind of elegance that makes you sit up straighter without realizing it. Their Panang Curry is creamy perfection, and the Basil Stir-Fry might just convert your meat-loving cousin to tofu. Don’t worry, they also do it with beef! Their cocktails are dangerously smooth.

6. Yia Yia's Pizza and Beer

Best for pizza with an attitude and a beer list that never ends

This is not your chain pizza joint. Yia Yia’s serves up thick, crispy, flavor-packed pies with toppings you didn’t know belonged on pizza (sunflower seeds, anyone?). It’s loud, fun, and unapologetically weird in all the right ways. Order by the slice or grab a full pie. Either way, add garlic oil. Trust me.

7. Muchachos

Best for Mexican food with a rebellious twist

If a taco and a Korean BBQ plate had a love child, it would live at Muchachos. This place slings out bold, punchy flavors with no apologies, brisket burritos, Korean pork tacos, and street corn that’s basically a religious experience. It’s fast-casual, but the flavors hit like fine dining. Come hungry and bring napkins.

8. The Hub Cafe

Best for brunch, farm-to-table freshness, and poetic views

The Hub is like the morning version of a spa retreat, smooth jazz, warm light, and food that actually tastes healthy without making you hate your life. Eggs, greens, avocado toast, and seasonal specials you’ll dream about on your way home. They source locally. You can taste the love.

9. Venue Restaurant and Lodge

Best for a little dress-up, a little wine, and a lot of flavor

This is your date night, your anniversary dinner, your “I’m still thinking about that halibut” kind of place. This restaurant is refined but not fussy, upscale but still warm. Get the crab cakes. Get the short ribs. Get the check and thank yourself later.

10. Copal

Best for Mexican food that walks tall and sips mezcal

Copal doesn’t do “just okay” tacos. They do complex moles, roasted vegetables that sing, and craft cocktails that show off a little. It’s bold, bright, and buzzing with flavor. Don’t skip dessert. The tres leches will haunt your dreams in a good way.
