Still one of our favorite places and now they take plastic! Give themselves chance and you won't be sorry-we ate there tonight!

Great fresh hot 1/4 lbs burgers. Very clean too. Small business that is working towards removing styrofoam. Easy to find too.

I had high hopes for Greg's Restaurant. I love mom and pop type places, they usually have the best of everything (food, people and history) but I didn't find that at Greg's.
We visited late in the afternoon so I wasn't surprised to not see many cars. It looks like it's been updated or just well maintained and when we walked inside we were pleasantly surprised. There are airplanes hanging all around and a great big retro sign welcomes you (well I'm sure it would be welcoming if it was turned out but for some reason it wasn't. After my meal there I'm guessing it was to cut costs.)
The menu is simple bar food. My sister and I each got the bacon cheeseburger special, $5.99 for burger and fries. Drink was extra. Since there weren't many people we had our choice of seating, so we found a spot right by the really cute Husker kids tables (perfect for my one year old niece). While we waited for food, we talked about how hot and stuff it was and how dirty the carpeting looked. The decorations, however, well done.
One of the women behind the counter (I assume one of the owners) brought our food on a plastic tray. She was very friendly. The presentation was clean and retro. She brings with your meal one side of ketchup. Anything else costs extra. Even a refill, $.25. Lettuce, $.40. Neither of us were impressed with our burgers. The buns were nice. Very pretty. The buns tasted like the freezer patties you can get at WalMart. The fries, nothing fancy. My sister also ordered milk for my niece. It was $1.50 for a small glass and it was frozen. Again, I'm guessing this is another cost saving measure but my niece refused to drink it. We don't typically give her frozen, chunky milk.
All in all it was pretty expensive for what you get. The food wasn't outstanding. The service was great, but with the wealth of food options in the city, that's not enough. I also wish there was more of an explanation behind the story of Greg's. Who is Greg. What's with the planes? How long have you been around? Maybe that would have made me feel more connected. The entire time I just kept thinking I have no idea why I've heard such good things about this place. I won't be back. Also, this is cash/check only. -

The food is great, the service is nice, and now they except payment beyond just cash!
They take Visa MasterCard Samsung Pay Apple Pay etc.
The cash only factor was one reason I did not go here as often as I would've liked to.
Now they accept multiple forms of payment, their business both inside and at the drive-through will probably increase! -

After driving past for a few years and reading the Yelp reviews. I decided to stop in for lunch.
Ordered a double burger, fries and a RC cola.
Burger was great. Surprised me to see RC on the menu. It was a nice change
Although it was surprising to see that a slice of tomato is 50 cents.
