G & L Cafe

Some economists would claim that the only restaurant in a small town would have high prices and mediocre food due to its monopoly status. They would be wrong.A super great value and very good food. I always get the hot beef sandwich when I am in a small town and this was the best I have had in a long time. My lovely wife loved the vegetable beef soup and gyro. The owner is Greek so he knows gyros.My only complaint is that the TV was too loud for my sensitive ears. But if one is watching Bluejay basketball or Husker football, loud volume is allowed.A drive from Fremont or Omaha is worth it.

Get the hot beef sandwich. Seriously. The portion is big enough to share but you won't want to. It's THAT good. Great little hole in the wall!

Gus and Layla run a wonderful little café there in Mead! Gus is Greek, so you have that portion of the menu, and Layla is a baker. Need I say more? Think: pie.I usually get the Gyro or Gyro salad. But they have American menu items that keep the locals from straying very far, too! Their sweet potato fries are memorable. Ask what their special is for the day -- Gus does a lovely job in his kitchen!!This is small town, rural America at its finest. Friendly and welcoming people -- and the post office is directly across the street just in case you need stamps.

What a fantastic find. Very clean family owned cafe. Very reasonably priced. Home made food. I had a gyro. Which was the best i have ever had. Not greasy with a cup of home made vegetable beef soup for less than 8 dollars. The 4 of us ate for under 45 dollars with our beverage.

While driving around we stopped at G & L Cafe in Mead Nebraska. We had the specials which were grilled ham & cheese with a huge bowl of the best veggie soup I ever had. We also had the chicken fried chicken which was also the best I've ever had. Going to come back here as often as I can. Loved it. Warm pecan pie also Yum

Good hamburger and fries. Good salad and great vegetable soup in a generous portion. Attentive service. Nice family atmosphere.

I have ate here several times after taking a new job in Mead, NE. The food is fantastic and the service is even better. I have had salads, soup, the gyro(personal favorite), sweet potato fries, grilled cheese...well almost everything off the menu at some point and every time the food is spot on delicious!! Also, TRY THE PIE!!! It is like your grandma made it. Get it before they sell out for the day. It is so good they go quick!

Great family owned small town restaurant huge portions bring your appetite if not ask for a half order of the hot beef.
