Dick & Jennys — Restaurant in Town of Grand Island

UPDATE: Jenny thank you for correcting my errors about pricing of the food. In my Jenny salad I did add chicken to my order. I'm glad that you took the time to explain everything in detail. Some companies do not care about reviews. I'm absolutely not offended by your reply.

I've been here several times. You have to stand in line to order. I got the pancake. Yes one pancake for almost 8 bucks. It's a bit larger, but one pancake! With a bit of fruit. The deserts or pastries are ok. They seem to be missing something. Not sure what, maybe the homemade taste?(which I think they do make them)

French toast is good.

You have to get all your things for your table. Fork, knife, napkins, straw, sugar, salt and perpper etc. Pop or what you want out of the cooler and have to ask for a glass of ice, some drinks are made behind counter.

One thing they bring to your table is main meal. Not sweets though, they plate it and then you move along in line. Kind of like a cafeteria.

So how would you tip on the bill? Just for food the waitress delivered?

It's odd for the kind of money you end up spending to wait on yourself. It just seems like this kind of restaurant is a step above Panera.

Dinner is full service though. I only had the caesar salad. I liked it. Had apple and pecans in it's. It was 14.00 even for lunch. I did have...

Dick & Jenny’s is not a restaurant. It is a NATIONAL POWERHOUSE. Walking through the doors is like walking into Notre Dame Stadium on a crisp October Saturday — Marcus Freeman pacing the sidelines, the band playing the fight song, the deviled eggs already marching 75 yards down the field for a touchdown. The tasting menu? Pure domination. The deviled eggs were a freshman phenom, impossible to defend. The tomato basil soup and gumbo soup were a one-two punch, like Audric Estimé lowering the boom on third and short. Then the salmon came out wearing a golden helmet, shining so bright I swear Touchdown Jesus winked at me. Yes, Notre Dame lost to Miami this year. It hurt. It stung. Like when you drop your fork right before the gumbo. But Marcus Freeman’s squad will bounce back, and so will I, fork in hand, because Dick & Jenny’s refuses to lose two drives in a row. This is resilience. This is culture. This is five stars on Yelp and an undefeated season in my stomach. To not eat here is to root against Notre Dame. To not eat here is to be Miami. And let me tell you: nobody wants to be Miami. Playoffs? Playoffs are happening right now,...

If you have never had the good fortune to travel to New Orleans, prepare for an experience that closely matches what you would enjoy -- had you gone.

For those that have been... prepare to be reacquainted with and welcomed home by Dick and Jenny -- and their gracious, knowledgeable and caring staff.

Speaking from experience -- should you have Michael as your waiter, he will walk you through the gastronomic wonder that is the menu and will not steer you wrong from appetizers, to entrees to desserts.

And if you should have any questions or are curious as to how or where the restaurant got its start -- Jenny is close by to provide any assistance.

If you stop by on a live music night and the piano player is in full swing... you will quickly find yourself in the embrace of an entire restaurant of patrons that make it feel like home -- and I know that you will also become part of the serenade.

That said, come on in, relax and Laissez Les Bons...
