Where to eat in Lincoln

One of our favorite places to eat in Lincoln is right here on campus: Union Market. Unlike many colleges, we often eat at our on-campus dining hall even when we don't have to. However, it's also fun to explore the rest of Lincoln.

This list is far from exhaustive; Lincoln has more than 500 restaurants to choose from. These are just a few recommended by Union College employees.

$ = Under $10 per entree
$$ = $10-15 per entree
