Decided to try another local restaurant from DDD.
This place was packed from the time I arrived at 11:00 until I left.
Cheap good food.

Two Creighton Basketball players on the left, I swear the one in white was Grant Gibbs

The Southern Omelet special.

Been there twice. A little cramped and they don't take plastic, but the food has been reliably good.

Yeah, after seeing CU on Fox Sports today, I think it was Wragge and Dingman.

I tried them for the first time also. And you took my picture! I'm sitting in the booth in front of the players facing you. Me and my friend Dana like to try new breakfast joints. enjoyed my breakfast and it really filled up fast!

Dining review: Breakfast the backbone of Radial Cafe's family affair

By Laura Capitano: World-Herald Correspondent wrote:The recipe for Lisa's Radial Cafe is one part history, one part diner and one part family reunion. An Omaha spot known for decades for its griddle-cooking and coffee-pouring, the Radial Cafe has ingrained itself as a beloved breakfast and lunch spot, where the staff strives to know your name and your favorite dish by heart.

The cafe added ''Lisa's” to the name in 2000, when Lisa Schembri and her family bought the midtown institution. “I didn't know anything about running a business,” Schembri said on a recent Saturday afternoon in the restaurant, where she sat surrounded by her family — her husband, all her children, their spouses and her grandkids.
