Tiff a hair master

 Filed under: Lincoln Shops/Food — beerorkid @ Jun 11th, 2006

She turned me from a long hair dirty hippie into a suave professional man in about 20 minutes. My inlaws have been going to her for quite sometime. My wife would go there and I would stay in the car, fearing of how she would want to cut my long luxourious hippie hair to shreds. Once I grew tired of being looked down by society I came to her for a tune up. One quick are you sure and it was over. Now I use styling products and “fit in” even though I am still a dirty hippie deep inside. She has been doing hair for a long time and is up on current trends. She does wonders on my Mother in laws hair and could help you out too.
I now am set up on an every three weeks schedule for trimmings, quite often compared to the yearly wife snippings I was used to.

Tiff is a really cool lady, drives a big 4X4 during the winter and a motercycle during warm months. She is funny and seems like a real person, not one of those prissy hair chicks.
Get your hair done up propper by tiff. Tell her you heard it from me.

 Nebraska Tire

 Filed under: Lincoln Shops/Food — beerorkid @ Jun 11th, 2006

This is where I have been getting tires for about ten years. Not only do they sell tires at a good price, but they sell “take off tires”. Take off’s are when rich people buy a new car and want fancy rims and tires put on their new ride. The factory tires are not able to be sold as new, so they are called take off’s. Needless to say they are quality and cheap. Sure you might not have a great choice, but I found some great mudding tires for my old truck.

Located just south of 27th and Cornhusker and 49th and Old Cheney.

 M & N sandwich shop

Am I in chicago? cuz it sure tastes like it. Make sure to order it juicy (don’t ask just do it)

Someone mentioned something about a great sandwich shop. I want to mention that an incredible place if you like Chicago style deli sandwiches is M&N’s, on 27th & Randolph. This is not your typical high class snob place to eat. The decor is appalling, they have live jazz bands in a shop with maybe four tables, but they have truly awesome sandwiches.
The place has been there for a number of years, and until the smoking ban it was possible to go in there and see Norm working on sandwiches with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. But if you don’t care about appearances, this is the place to go.
1. Sandwiches are truly awesome, my vote for the best pastrami in town, as well as other deli sancwiches. Real good Wisconsin cheese soup too.
2. Prices are ridiculously low, I don’t see how they stay open. I can remember going in and getting supper for three people, and paying like $8 or $9 bucks for three large sandwiches and three bowls of soup.
3. Norm and his family are clearly huge jazz fans, their only decorations are autographed pictures of jazz greats, mostly from people who have played at the Zoo bar, but some from Chicago. I like jazz, but would not consider myself a big fan. But even I’ve heard of most of these people (like most of the guys in the original Blues Brothers — minus Belushi and Akroyd, of course).
4. They deliver, but it’s a $2.00 delivery charge for anyplace but the Zoo bar, where it’s free delivery. Like I said, a huge jazz fan.
5. They have live jazz, I think on Friday and Saturday night, but it might just be Friday. Seating might be a problem, but it’s not like they draw big crowds.

Just go in, look confused, and Norm will ask you if it’s your first time. As soon as you say yes, he starts fixing you up with all kind of samples to taste. You will find something you like, if you like deli sandwiches.

Update: they have moved to a new location. Still 27th and Randolph, but not on the NE side. A little smaller place and they are still working on live shows. Apparently attendance went down after the smoking ban :( But, the sammy’s still rock ;)

 Midwest Seafood

 Filed under: Lincoln Shops/Food — beerorkid @ Jun 11th, 2006

Oh man if you love seafood or even like it every now and then this is your place. No they do not cook it for you, this is a fish market. The best place in town to get fresh seafood. They get seafood from Louisiana daily. You have to show up early because this place is getting busier every day. You can get fresh shrimp, scallops, live clams, wild catfish (not farm raised) and tons of other fish I have never heard of. I get shrimp and crab legs and will be a little more adventurous soon. The place does not smell like fish because it is so fresh.

Go to 27th and about R street in the new strip mall and pick up a fresh catch.

 Kirk’s Brew, homebrew supply store

 Filed under: Lincoln Shops/Food — beerorkid @ Jun 11th, 2006

Without this guy I would not be a brewmaster. I met him at a beer show here in lincoln where all the distributions show off their beers. He had a booth and I talked with him. Within a week I went to his store and bought the bible “the complete joy of homebrewing”. I read it in two days and headed back for my first batch.
Kirk is a great guy who knows his craft. I continued to grow as a home brewer and he helped me along the way. If you are interested in homebrewing, wine making, or even soda pop you need to check this place out.
He has everything for the first timer to a local brewery. Yes I go there to get supplies for Misty’s brewing. I bought my kegging system from him as well as countless carboys.

Located at 10th and Cornhusker by the Burger King

I worked here for over 5 years. They are famous for their Elk Creek drink. It is a orange juice concoction that comes in pitchers. The recipie is top secret and it is always fun to hear what people think is in it. Every bar needs a moose or two, Sandy’s tops them by having a couple of Elk heads.

One unique place with great bar food. I guess these were a chain at one time. The place is decorated with tons of old movie props and decorations. There is stuff everywhere. There is this perpetiual motion machine in the back room made of lots of moving parts. They have burger madness a couple times a week, as well as other deals all of the time. The only bar downtown with a sand volleyball court. They have tournaments during warm times. Bands play here all the time and they are advertised with collored paper on their wooden fence, it is impossible to miss. You order your food from a huge pair of lips. The place is just a lot of fun, they call out strange stuff over the microphone. I usually give some goofy name just to make it fun.

Located at 9th and N street.

 El Charro

 Filed under: Lincoln Shops/Food — beerorkid @ Jun 11th, 2006

El Charro Lincoln Ne

located a block south of 9th and O street

Mexican food places can be found all over Lincoln. They range from drive thru’s to sit down restaurants. Differences are also found in the styles offered from place to place. I have done a couple of months testing different Mexican eateries, and I always keep coming back to El Charro. Many popular places have Americanized their meals for the bland American palate, not El Charro. I will fill you in on what makes this place worth visiting again and again, including: the food, atmosphere, drinks, and service.

Oh man I sooooo wanna see the rest of the crap in this post… »

For a good restaurant it should all be about the food. For El Charro this is where they truly shine. The menu consists of the traditional Mexican fare you can find in any restaurant with a Mexican theme. From enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, to tostadas, nothing stands out of the ordinary. With many reliable selections and combination plates, you are sure to find something to satisfy your taste buds. Although you are able to order those familiar entrées, you will be pleasantly surprised by the rich complex flavors that their offerings provide.

Authentic is the central theme here, and it tastes like your Mexican grandmother prepared it for you. All of the food is made from scratch, with an attention to creating complex flavorful tastes. Even the refried beans are made with chilies, spices, and other vegetables mixed in to create a rounded flavor. Often places have basic salsa’s that are just tomato flavored, slightly spiced, watery concoctions. El Charro’s salsa is a mild, thick, cilantro filled taste extravaganza. One of my favorite meals is the enchiladas charras. I usually go with the chicken, although you can choose from beef and cheese as well. The enchiladas are wrapped with soft corn tortillas, filled with tender meat, and topped with a rich red sauce that has onions, chilies, and tomato chunks mixed right in. With the expected sides of refried beans, sour cream, guacamole, and above ordinary fried rice, you will be satisfied. Not often will I even waste my tummy space on fried rice, yet El Charro’s is well above average. A few extra ingredients and moist fluffy rice add an unexpected amount of flavor to this usually bland side, making it deserving of your tummy real estate. Even the usually spicy choices do not try to over power the flavor that good spices can bring. An example of this is the chili rellenos. A bell pepper filled with cheese and other fillings, fried in an egg batter, and covered with a rich, dark, and spicy sauce. It has the heat that you would expect, with out making you reach for your water. The food is so well made that you forget about the lack of atmosphere.

Once you step in to the restaurant, you might think twice before sticking around for a meal. They have not made much effort in the decorating department. White walls, tables and booths make everything very bright. The walls have a few very cheesy looking pictures and decorations. The restrooms are a little nicer and rather large to accommodate the large bar area. Even their menus are just laminated paper with a non creative design. The meager appearance does have one good advantage, it keeps the prices low. Other than just being a restaurant, El Charro has other amenities to entice you.
Looking for a night out on the town? You will find food, as well as entertainment here. An almost resort like bar greets you on the side opposite the restaurant. The bar is like a beach hut, made out of bamboo with a thatch roof. If you are in the mood to dance, they have a stage for bands and a large dance floor. Pool tables, video games, and seating will make you feel comfortable hanging out and enjoying the atmosphere and staff.

Although Mexican food can be a little pricey at some restaurants, you do not always get the quality you pay for. Here the prices are reasonable if not downright cheap. And the portions and quality will never make you feel ripped off. The only thing that disappointed me in the value department, were the margaritas. Most chain’s and well established places really push their huge premium margaritas that deliver a lot of alcoholic punch as well. The margaritas here are rather small and not that impressive, so if you are looking to “get your groove on” I would head somewhere else. At least the drinks are served with a smile.

The service here is just enough to keep you happy. This is a family venture and the whole family pitches in to serve you. Even the owner’s children help with cleaning tables. All of the server’s are bilingual to make ordering easy. During busy times they are a little under staffed which can be annoying, especially at lunch. The food is served rather quickly though, and refills of chips, salsa, and drinks are usually taken care of before you have to ask. Alajandra, one of the owners, served tables right up to the day before giving birth to their new baby boy, and was back within a week. Needles to say they are here to serve you well.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food as well as a fun environment, I would highly recommend El Charro. You will be treated and fed well by a great family that makes your dining experience enjoyable as well as affordable. Once you look past the plain environment, you will be pleasantly surprised.

 Bodega’s alley

 Filed under: Lincoln Shops/Food — beerorkid @ Jun 11th, 2006

This bar suits all types of people. Kind of a hippie hangout on wednesday nights, a college hangout on the weekends, and a killer happy hour. My friends call it the office. They have a beer garden in the back that is really big and lit up nicely. It is perfect for smokers to hang out. They have foos, darts, pool, and a pinball machine.
