Vidlak's Brookside Cafe

vidlak's hits the spot every. single. time. it is the perfect simple, down home breakfast that anyone & everyone loves. plus, they make extra crispy bacon perfectly & have sourdough toast :) AND it doesn't break the bank!!!!

I've been going to Brookside for 20 years, and every single time it lives up to the hype. We got there at 10:45am and they were packed. Waited for a 2 top for about 20 minutes, and loved watching the regulars and newbies come and go. Food was delicious, hot and filling! I've never had something on the menu I didn't enjoy. The waitstaff is wonderful, from those that have worked there for as long as we've been going, to the newer employees, they all have the same great attitude. Welcoming environment and a great place to grab some food on a Sunday morning!

Another year... Another great breakfast! We decided to bring my parents for a good breakfast and it did not disappoint... Everyone was pleased and walked out full. I can't remember what I ordered, but it was very good. I believe it was some type of veggie, potato, and cheese skillet thing. My boys went with cinnamon rolls and cinnamon roll French toast, and I will probably go that route next time instead of trying to eat healthy lol. Overall great price for all the food, and if you download the PinPoint app you can build up for discounts..

Finally got a chance to check this place out. If you're looking for classic dinners food, this is it. They also have a bunch of unique combinations of omelets and skillets that I will have to try next time. The atmosphere reminds me of going to diners as a kid. My favorite part was the red chairs. If you know, you know. The service was great. Food was out so fast and was so fresh.

We had driven past Vidlak's so many times but had never been in and when we finally went for breakfast, we were absolutely delighted with how yummy everything was but also disappointed it took us that long to try it! The parking lot is always packed even at 6 am during the week--but service is always prompt! I don't think I've had a single bad meal here and my personal favorite is their cinnamon roll--it's definitely my favorite one in Omaha! We've told so many friends about Vidlaks & each and every one of them has been thrilled with how delicious their meal was and how affordable as well! It reminds us of some places back home and it feels nostalgic in that way and makes our meals there that much more special!

Vidlak's is perfect. It's simple. It has great food. It has great service. They know how to get people in for breakfast or lunch. It's local, local, local. By far, most of our visits have been in a Sunday morning always trying to beat the church crowd. The menu selections are wide ranging. They're affordable. It's never disappointing!! We typically get the Hungry Man which gets you three eggs, three bacon, three sausages, hash browns, and three pancakes. Enough to provide a Monday morning breakfast too!

We've been here two times now for breakfast, and both times I've bought steak and eggs. The steak is always cooked perfectly with great flavor. My over-medium eggs are cooked just the way I like them as well. This place is always busy, but the staff is quick and you get your food in a very timely manner.

Do you remember going to a small town diner for breakfast and they give you amazing service with a steady flavor and variety of foods? This is the place!! Their brunch menu is vast ranging from the basic eggs, bacon, and toast, to lunch options like burgers, chicken, and soups. I ordered the breakfast burrito and was very happy with the choice as it had a lot of eggs and cheese, which I love in a good breakfast burrito. I also had a sweet tooth that day and wanted a blueberry pancake, so I a la carted one and it was worth every penny! And calorie. We came on a Sunday around 1230, which I don't recommend as it's packed from post church goers. But I imagine this place is consistently busy with the way they conduct business. Very happy with the place and would definitely come back!

Delicious food! The staff is very helpful and we got in and out very quickly! It was a nice place to sit down and have breakfast!

My lady and I went in for lunch, and the food was spectacular as was the service. The atmosphere was pleasant, and it was a bright airy feeling in the room. Cleanliness is a big thing for us, and you can tell they cared about their appearance. Highly recommended, and we will be back again for sure.
