Upon entering the restaurant, it’s clear that Greggos takes an unconventional approach to the Lincoln food scene, setting themselves apart from the rest.
Their rotating menu is the first thing that sets them apart. Greggos serves breakfast and a full salad bar all day, but their daily specials are the big sellers. Monday kicks off the week with gyro day. Taco Tuesday is a fan favorite and one of the busiest days of the week including fried street tacos, elote or Mexican street corn, and Spanish rice from El Chapparo. “We love to support and spotlight other local businesses when we can,” Mann states, highlighting their commitment to the community. Wednesday offers Indian cuisine, such as butter chicken served over basmati rice.
Thursday is another guaranteed hit with barbeque day. Then on Friday, it’s the dealer’s choice, “I love to throw something together at the end of the week to prevent food waste. We typically have extra barbeque and people love that. I have a fancy quesadilla maker that I love to use on Fridays too” Mann states.
With rotating specials and cuisine that travel the globe, Greggos has created a loyal following and a reputation for its fresh and exciting menu. Its guests can always expect something fresh and made with care.
Another feature of Greggos's operation is its catering service. Downtown companies like Olssen and Q2 are frequent fans. Mann says, “People call in for everything, and I can specialize orders for them. Whether it’s a large office lunch or something small, we’ll suit the occasion.”
One of the most surprising aspects of Greggos is its price point. Compared to the average lunch, it is incredibly affordable. Most entrees, complete with sides, are $8, an unbeatable deal for the quality.
With its unique menu, catering, and price, Greggos has become a standout in downtown Lincoln’s dining scene. Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast or a flavorful daily special, Greggos has something for everyone. It is a wonderful reflection of the creativity of the Downtown Lincoln community.
Greggos is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. For catering or more information, call (402) 560-2568.
