We drove an hour to come here and it was so worth it. We are from South Carolina and had a Southern waiter, Conner. He was awesome!!! Please let him know he made our experience so much better with the sweet tea. We've been on the west coast since January and have really missed sweet tea while eating out. It hit the right spot! Thrilled we found a MM finally. Two of us are gluten free and love their gf pizza and know that it is safe for us to eat. Several hours later and I am feeling fine. No contamination. Conner said he'd make sure they knew it was for an allergy (celiac actually). He was tentative, friendly (we miss southern hospitality too so thank you for that!), understanding and quick with our order. The host was also friendly and quickly got us a booth for our party of 5. Pizza and gluten free brownies were delicious. We all left very satisfied with our service and have put this mellow mushroom (we've been to several) as one of our faves!
Being new to Nebraska, we are finding our new favorites for everything, and Honest Abe's is top of our list! We require gluten-free and budget friendly, and they fit the bill. We have used take out and delivery. Very cheerful employees. I originally emailed about gluten-free options and received a pleasant and helpful response immediately! I can't say enough about them. We really enjoy the curry sauce.
Andrew served us! Andrew is very polite, and gave us some good recommendations upon inquiry. We ended up choosing two items that were mentioned. I had the Scallop and Pork Belly Carbonara. It was a good portion size with delightfully buttery scallops and deliciously tender pork belly. I loved the creamy egg yolk sauce! The lemons garnishing the plate added a nice zest.
I also got to try the Honey Soy Glazed Chicken. We don't have any gluten intolerance, but that dish happens to be gluten free and I can vouch for it being a great choice! I particularly enjoy how this dish is out together visually. It's beautiful, and I love the glaze on the chicken.
We finished our meal by sharing a slice of Chocolate Dobos Torte, and I don't remember if we were told what sauce was glazed onto the cake but it was a pleasant way to finish our evening.
As we ate, I looked over to the bar area, and the staff were smiling and laughing together during a brief moment. While this was only a glimpse, I sincerely hope the staff enjoy working here as much as it seemed they do.
I always make sure to leave a good tip, but I hope you're all getting paid well because it seems like you're doing fantastic. Be proud of your work!
Thank you, Andrew. :)
I was super happy to see they had gluten free bread, which tasted great and didn’t fall apart. They were extremely accommodating without having to ask, which is always nice!
My food was great. I only had a small issue with my granddaughter. She is very young and gets sick as she has celiac. Lunch was fine, as she had a GF bun. Couldn't get fries due to cross contamination, so she had steamed broccoli. All was good until she went up for her free ice cream. They had a snickers ice cream. She asked if it was gluten free, they said yes. It's not a good thing she knows that real snickers aren't GF (she thought it would have been a deconstructed snickers). Anyway, she didn't eat it, they replaced it with vanilla. Thanks for the adjustment, but please, be careful.
I had one of the best espresso experiences here. The employee that made my mocha did a phenomenal job- the crema on top was amazing! Her service was so thoughtful and generous on serving my gluten sensitivity. I was so blessed. Thank you.
