- JJillNebraska •6 reviews4.0Dined on May 4, 2025Made a reservation because it was a busy Saturday night. Turned out we didn't really need one your surprise. The food was good. I had the brisket grilled cheese which was a large portion and I took half of it home. Others in my group had the steak medallions, bourbon chicken and another one had the shrimp dish. The price was a good value for what you received. Service was good too, she was helpful, attentive and kind.More infoSingle BarrelPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Lincoln•4.4
