Best breakfast food Ive had in a very long time.... Tasted almost like Mama cooked it... I had the breakfast burrito, hash browns, and a side of bacon. Normally when I eat in a restaurant and I get hash browns I have to have steak sauce, because hash browns taste bad but not here. Best has browns Ive ever had. Good flavor, great quantity... The burrito was HUGE, and stuffed to overflowing with sausage, scrambled eggs, onions and green peppers... Highly recommended

First time eating here. The atmosphere was nice. I ordered the eggs Benedict which was delicious and the portions was big. The service was lacking. The waitress never came to my table once to see if I needed anything else. When I was done eating I waited till she made eye contact with me to come to my table. Mind you I’ve been sitting there awhile for someone to refill me something to drink. Had to finish my plate with no drink of water nor did she refill my coffee. By the time she came to my table she asked me if my coffee needed a refill. I said no, I just want the bill. I paid for the food because that was the only thing that was good. No tip was given to this waitress.

Best Breakfast Ever! My wife and I had Eggs Benedict with hash browns. Huge portions and the hollandaise sauce was perfect. Prompt service worth going out of your way!

Took my mom and daughter here for brunch. A nice experience with good food and lots of options. Chairs short for some reason and hard to get my 84 year old mother out of it. Loved the atmosphere and was very busy. Great servers.

Ive lived in Lincoln off and on for most of my life and finally checked this place out. Food was good and not over priced. The place was packed! Im not sure how long we waited for a table, and then for our food, but the company was great, so I didnt mind too much. Not really a place to go if youre in a hurry or if you suffer from anxiety, or are prone to sensory overload. So loud I couldnt hear what anyone on the other side of our table was saying.

Good lunch and breakfast meal today. My first time visit and will be back again. And I believe the Engine House Cafe staff also run the Branched Oak Boat House that I also really enjoy. Thanks for the nice meals and atmosphere.

Engine House CaféThis was a unique little place to have breakfast. It was originally a fire station. It has been restored to it’s interior brick walls. The walls have antique fire equipment and photos. They have great food. I would recommend the biscuits and gravy. Prices are reasonable and in the low – moderate range. The staff was friendly and attentive. When it started getting busy, I thought the tables were a little too close for comfort during Covid pandemic. Read the menu to learn the history of the Engine House.

We had excellent breakfasts. The service was very good. A word to the wise, if you are going on a Saturday morning try to be there before 8:30. By nine there was a pretty good line outside. The place was packed. Obviously a favorite of the local people, which also seems like a good recommendation.

The food was so amazing! Good seasoning and spices, perfect temperature, overall great quality. Service was absolutely fantastic! Never had to look for our waitress once. She was very helpful at suggesting items and describing them. She checked on the seasoning for our green beans because it was so freaking good! Not too salty and so flavorful! The atmosphere is very calm and welcoming. I definitely recommend if you are looking for great home cooked kind of food and a great place to relax and enjoy some conversations.

I love stopping here for breakfast! The staff is so nice and makes you feel like youre family. Its always busy and full of people which makes it feel cozy, and the decorations give it the feel of the old Firehouse. The biscuit breakfast combo with sausage gravy is delicious (and more than enough food)! I highly recommend trying them out.

Come on come on to the engine house cafe. A wonderous idea and a breakfast for those seeking a hearty and rewarding investment. The service, the food, any atmosphere make for a tradition one may start for their family.Havelock is home to many great businesses in Lincoln Nebraska. Engine House Cafe is just a great example of what a community can make of itself.No matter which food item you choose on the menu I assure you a delicious meal. The service is just how you would expect stellar and real. Your servers main priorities are your comfort and satisfaction.If youre in Lincoln Nebraska and looking for a stellar breakfast or lunch, then go to engine house on Havelock avenue.with that being said the one downfall of this establishment is the size and capacity. This does not in any way take away from the quality of this establishment. my one recommendation for this business is expansion. I expect my five-star rating with engine house to hold its presence here on Google as well as in my opinion.
