Taste of Lincoln

I was in the mood for a good French Dip the other day and I happen to work around the Misty’s downtown.  My logic was, if they supposedly have the best prime rib in Lincoln, wouldn’t the left overs make for a great French Dip the next day?

Unfortunately, that was not the case for my particular sandwich.  I love my prime rib rare, and I was hoping the next day it would at least have a little pink left to it.  Every slice was just well done beyond recognition on my sandwich.  The meat was tough and it made it hard to bite off one solid chunk without bringing everything with it.

Needless to say, it didn’t satisfy my craving, but that wasn’t the worst part.  My bill was over $13 for a lunch!  Now, like the best golfer in the world I’m willing to pay for a good piece of meat, but this wasn’t even close.  It really makes me question the legacy that is Misty’s anymore.  Has anyone had a positive experience at the downtown location?  Is Havelock any better?

Sorry Misty, you may have been pretty the night before, but you were a wreck the next morning…

Traveled up the road to Papillion, Nebraska to visit the Nebraska Brewing Company. We have wanted to visit this restaurant for some time now. The restaurant looked like a typical brewpub, flat screen TV’s in the bar, concrete floors, and the brew tanks visible.
We ordered the corn dog meal for our two girls, which were actually turkey dogs, different but healthy. My husband ordered their gourmet mac and cheese, which was made with their Infinite Wit beer and topped with Bread Crumbs and I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich.
The dinner started off with a complementary basket of their homemade potato chips, which were good. When the server brought out our food, he brought me a chicken philly instead. He immediately took it back to bring out the buffalo chicken sandwich that I originally ordered.
While waiting I was able to sample the other food ordered by the table. The turkey corndogs were good but I was not a fan of the mac and cheese. It seemed to be a little heavy on the beer taste, which seemed a little stout and overpowering for the mac and cheese. Once my sandwich arrived I was a little disappointed by the presentation. It was a really small hamburger bun with an oversized flattened piece of breaded chicken and the sauce on top. The sauce had an overpowering taste that I couldn’t put my finger on, it also seemed really think and just sat on the sandwich.
The service was average, atmosphere average and the food below average. Probably won’t be making our way back to the Nebraska Brewing Company.
On other note, we did not try any of the beers that they brew, so maybe they would of made it worthwhile!
