Karen's Little Café — Restaurant in Lincoln

I wandered into Karen’s Little Cafe expecting a modest breakfast and left convinced Karen might be some kind of culinary sorceress.

Let’s talk about the 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy—and by “1/2 order,” I assume Karen means “half the size of a carb-based asteroid.” Fluffy, buttery biscuits were smothered in creamy, peppery gravy that whispered sweet Southern nothings to my soul. I’m still dreaming about it. My cardiologist probably is too.

Then came the corned beef hash with 4 eggs—yes, FOUR eggs, because I live dangerously. The hash was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and clearly made with real love, or possibly black magic. The eggs were cooked exactly how I ordered them, which almost never happens.

I was out in Lincoln recently visiting my brother. After a quick Google search, I suggested we visit this restaurant. Tyler Brooks, our server, was attentive, informative, courteous and delivered our food exactly as ordered. They have a great selection of breakfast choices, and I would highly recommend this restaurant for a very satisfying meal and experience!

We ate out on the patio. Tyler did an especially great job of setting up a table for us, making sure it was spotless and had our hot coffee delivered immediately.

Throughout the meal, he checked in with us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and made sure we had everything we needed.

My brother and I got to relax, catch up and take our time enjoying our great breakfast selections.

Keep up the good work. I look forward to visiting during my next trip out...

Karen's Little Café was the okayest café I've been to in awhile. We had a scramble with diced potatoes, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers and cheese (I don't remember the name) which came with scrambled eggs and toast; We also ordered a pancake; biscuits and gravy; and two espresso drinks. Everything was good- not great, not terrible. Prices were very reasonable, service was subdued but decent. I found the decor to be a bit odd and eclectic, there didn't seem to be a lot of thought put into it. I would go here again if I was hungry and in the area but I wouldn't go out of my...
