The Special Restaurant is a fairly new business, having opened in 2015. However in that short time, they have already been voted Best of Bellevue, Best of Sarpy County, and even Best of Omaha multiple times! That's a pretty big accomplishment for a true "Ma & Pa" style restaurant. The first time I ate there it was so good, I ate there again the next day. On that second day I ordered something different and it was so good, I ate there the next day. :) My favorite menu items are the Chicken Fried Steak, The Bacon & Egg Cheeseburger, and the Prime Rib (served only on Fridays, I believe). I also recently discovered the Fried Chicken Dinner on their menu, so I've ordered that the past few times. The other thing to add is that Laura is also a top-notch baker in her own right. The Special is actually one of the only places I ever order dessert from. But they sometimes sell out of things so quickly that I order them "to go" right when we sit down.

We went for breakfast and we could not eat for the rest of the day. Tomorrow is iffy as well. The food is really good, the service is great, and the portions are out of this world gargantuan. The prices are fine. For instance, I chose Hungry Man, consisting of 3 perfectly cooked basted eggs, 2 wonderfully fluffy plate-sized pancakes, 2 thick sausage links, half order of biscuits and gravy and hash browns, for the variety. I would order it again, but I would ask for one egg, one pancake, and one link and still be happy to pay full price. They could modify it and call it Hungry Man Mini. Hubby had the Meat Lover's Skillet and could not finish it. Make plans to take home leftovers. Breakfast is available the entire time they are open which is until 2pm. Normally we have a wait, but 11am on a Friday got us right in. This place is popular and more than worth the high ratings it gets.

Our party of 6 was sat right away on a busy Saturday afternoon. Walking in, you are hit with a strong smell of fried food, so you definitely know it's being cooked fresh! This restaurant gives off a mom-and-pop diner feel, which lets you know you're in for some good home cooking. The silverware wrapped in crumpled paper napkins only accented the homely charm. To make sure we were served in a timely manner, a friendly hostess took our drink orders despite our table being out of her area. When we received our server for the rest of our visit, she greeted us promptly with unlaminated paper breakfast and lunch menus that had definitely seen some love before us! There were several good options on the menu, and after a fair wait, we received our food nice and hot! My chicken sandwich special was well seasoned and the ranch was the cherry on top. This is comfort food for sure.

Great food and lousy service... decor could use a little work.

Updating from 11 months ago. Today is 8/8/19. Since our first "GOOD" experience, it's been pretty much down hill. Their food is still good and that's why we've given them second chance(s); however, last night was the straw that broke the camel's back and we will not return. The following has become a recurring event with bad service.

My family, wife and two boys, went there for supper without me. My wife texted me when she got there with pictures of the menu as she was going to bring me supper from there. She and the boys were greeted and seated in the raised area in back. My wife said there were two people at the bar and one couple already seated when they arrived.

After seating my family, the woman left. She didn't ask them if they'd like drinks or anything. Another couple came in, she seated them and brought them drinks. Then another woman came in alone and she was seated and brought a drink. Then the first couple, who'd been seated after my family had their order taken. My family sat there for literally over 20 minutes and watched 3 people be seated, brought drinks, have their order taken and salads served while completely being ignored by the woman who seated them and any other employee.

At that point, my family got up and left and went to Stella's, another local restaurant with FIRST CLASS SERVICE and OUT OF THIS WORLD burgers!

We will not be going back to The Special and after reading several reviews for The Special on different platforms including their own Facebook page, it seems they've had a service problem they haven't fixed for...

Everything I have ever ordered at The Special restaurant has without fail been very good. The wait staff is friendly without fail and always ready to get whatever you might need. They get crowded…duh, because so many people want to eat there, and you might have to wait. If you don’t want to wait there’s a very simple solution, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! If they are busy, it might take a while to get your food… another duh. If you want your food right away and can’t take your precious time to wait for it to be served there’s a very simple solution, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! The restaurant isn’t fancy, if you want fancy there’s a very simple solution, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! If they happen not to answer the phone, just maybe they didn’t decide “I’m gonna ignore this call on purpose “. Could actually be they’re too dang busy with customers who were there before you called. If they’re closed for some reason when it wasn’t ok with you, guess you never thought it could be because of something beyond their control and that they don’t owe you a phone call to tell you they won’t be open that day. I absolutely recommend this place and if you happen to read reviews, ignore the “royalty” and the Karens and Kens who gave this place...
