Big 10 Sports Bar & Grill Downtown Lincoln — Restaurant in Lincoln

Date Night

A few weeks ago we went to Big 10 Downtown for the first time to check out one of our Favorite local cover bands DadRock🤘🤘🤘! We got there like an hour before the show cuz we actually like to talk to each other while we eat. There were a decent amount of people already there but we found a seat right away.

I told my husband we had to try the Tractor Wheel Pretzel Board. Huge (literally) selling point at this place. A Ginormous Pretzel filled with (what looked to be) 3 Full Sized apps of your choice. We went with Garlic Cheese Curds, freaking amazing. Smoked Gouda Mac Bites, he loved them. And Onion Rings- SO Many and I used all the dips. The Pretzel itself comes with its own Vat of Queso. So... 32 Bucks may seem like a hefty price tag but with the amount of food included you're basically getting the Gargantuan Pretzel for free!

My husband knew he had to test out the wings. Initially skeptical at the prices his eyes absolutely lit up at the Jumbo Wings delivered to him. He went with 6 Mango Habanero and 6 Big 10 Blazing Hot. The former is his usual and he's never had a complaint anywhere. The Hot wings he was sooooo happy with cuz not only did they burn his face off, but they had great layers of flavor as well. He ate on them throughout the night. With our Massive app order I only additionally had a Side Salad. Very fresh and yummy.

Our server Adolfo was pretty great. He checked on us often and all of our specifics were met. Once we placed our order food came out surprisingly quickly! We mostly ordered cocktails but they have a Mystery Barrel deal. I was brought some fruity brew I would have never selected on my own but really enjoyed!

Only a couple of criticisms... the lime garnishes were crap and should have already been tossed. This is also the first time I can recall being charged for Titos. I have never ordered Titos in my life and wasn't asked. To be fair I also didn't clarify. Absolutely not a deal-breaker. Looking forward to checking out another band. Great set-up!

Stopped in for lunch 7/19/2025. Sierra was a great waitress but the kitchen stole the show this time. The char-buffed chicken wings were perfect, the steak tips were on point and the cheeseburger was great too. That was the best burger bun I have had in a while. Tip of the cap to the kitchen. They made some pretty simple orders come out well above average. Heck, the waffle fries were perfectly done. Food like that will keep them busy for a long time and you could tell the kitchen took pride in what they were sending out. Cheers to the crew!! Great...

Went to watch the game tonight. Had to pay a $5 cover to get in, and the place was full at the time. It took me 45 minutes to find a seat and you can drink but not order food without a seat. I had a beer, and finished it by the time I finally got a seat and could order food. I only had one beer, and wasn't even close to being drunk or acting drunk, but I was still cut off. Food was decent but nothing special. So many better places to get a burger within a block that won't cut you off after...
