Great dinner at LeadBelly's as usual! Starting off with a Latte-tini - I'm a sucker for a drink with the Mill coffee in it. I don't always go for drinks with caffeine in them because I don't want to stay awake but I didn't have any issues with this from the drink (plus it was perfectly balanced!) The food was all great, I think they recently updated the menu but had many familiar items. I tried one of their specials (the hot honey sandwich) and the Wake Up Call burger - I definitely prefer splitting meals to mix it up through the meal and both were super tasty. Extra points for the poutine appetizer.We went at like 7:30 on a Friday night and somehow got a table in the back for 6 right away which was awesome. They had the restaurant all decorated for Valentine's Day which was cute and the back room was a little quieter being away from the main space and is super quaint.

Again, another highly recommended place in Lincoln! You can smell it before you see it, and it's wonderful. It was pretty slow when we went in but I was very eager. There are SO many options here and I love the creativity with the burgers. I love that they have vegetarian options and you have choose your patty.I was torn between a lot of the choices but ultimately went with the California dreaming and added garlic aioli on the side. My boyfriend got the raspberry beret and I must admit I was skeptical. His burger was subtly sweet and savory. The peanut butter is not prominent (which I liked) and the raspberry jam is well balanced and compliments the burger well. Mine was delicious and savory, just the way I like to. The fresh jalapeños added a nice heat to the palate, but I feel like I lost the onion jam in the mix of things. Would have loved if it was more present. The garlic aioli was a good addition if you're looking for a sauce. Only qualm is that although they are creative with the toppings, I find the meat itself to be a little under seasoned for my liking which led me to think of it as bland. I love dressing up a burger, don't get my wrong, but I also love when the meat itself is accentuated. Either way though, I enjoyed the burger. All in all we paid 36$ before tip for the two burgers and an Arnold Palmer. Pretty fairly priced. Check them out!

After walking around the Haymarket, checking out Leadbelly's was a great idea. They definitely have a unique list of sandwiches. You can pick your meat (burger, chicken, portobello, etc.). One thing I get nervous about with burgers is how they huge they can be and not being able to finish them. The burger that I got was the perfect size and I finished it all. I got the Go Pig Red. They also have a very classy looking bar. The bartenders kept waking by with holiday themed flights. The beers on tap are a variety of local and favorites. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Lincoln.

The Hot Fuzz Leadbelly was the best burger I've had in a long time. The smell of the smoked cheese coming out of the kitchen took me back to summer bbq's of long ago! Mixed with the candied bacon and raspberry jalapeño jelly. OMG. Coming from Illinois - what a bargain for the price!

Outstanding place. Our group of 4 were seated immediately. Hailey, our waitress, was phenomenal. She was personable, fun, attentive, and prompt. She made great recommendations. We started with queso & chips. The chips were clearly homemade, and they, along with the dip, were superb.2 of our group ordered the Full Leaded Jackets. OMG The combination of sweet (cinnamon roll) and spicy ( chili & jalapeños) was indescribable. I can eat, and I was unable to finish the entree. Taking home the remainder and looking forward to finishing it off.The others in our group built their own hamburgers and said they were delicious.Unfortunately, we are from out of town or this would be a regular dining spot for us.Kudos to Leadbelly's

Hello Beautiful People, I'm sorry, couldn't wait to eat this delicious foods from Lead Belly hence no photos.Back to Lead Belly!!! I went here on a Sunday night at 6pm for a pick up order. The place was bustling when I walked in. Fun atmosphere with great music. All the staff were friendly.DJ was the phone order person who made us feel very taken care of. Service with such a big smile and heart. I appreciate that he let us know about the doggy menu. I ordered the Curry Chicken Soup, Shrimp Salad, multiple sides; chips and salsa, steamed broc' and hummus with veggies. Last but not least, broc', brown rice and ground beef for the baby dog. Oh my Ghandi, SO GOOD!!!I would come back here again and again and again and again.

Don't sleep on this one. In town for my first home game in 40 years (outcome of game does not affect this review) and my dad and I decided to roll downtown for a bite before flying back out. First, let's say, it's all about Grace. What an amazing server. Top notch customer service, perfect timing on the check ins and a world class walk through of the menu along with quality recommendations. If you could bottle Grace, you could sell that energy and retire tomorrow. Food was beyond good. My dad swears he could have eaten nothing but the Philly eggrolls and been happy all night. I had the Raspberry Beret burger and it delivered layers of flavor that were both unexpected and somehow comforting. Amazing. Bar is great as well. Dirty pickle martini was an unexpected treat and the bar staff clearly knows their stuff. Eat here. Just eat here. You won't regret it.
