★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Nixon · Jan 2026

I was really looking forward to this experience. Unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. Firstly, the dining space and menu options are huge. Our server was great, knowledgeable, and offered detailed suggestions. The food, however, was very underwhelming. The gator bites were dripping with grease and about 1/3 of the portion was pure breading. Contrary, the mozzarella sticks were both generously sized and paired nicely with their marinara sauce. For entrées, we sampled the chicken fettuccine and, one of their House Specialties, the Crescent City Chicken. I opted for hush puppies as a side instead of the creamed corn. Again, I was highly disappointed. The hush puppies were extremely dry and dense. I was barely able to manage one bite. Thankfully, they were accommodating in allowing me

Found this great restaurant passing through Lincoln. Its in amongst a bunch of other non chain restaurants in the Haymarket area of the city. The atmosphere is very up beat and the servers and restaurant staff do a great job. The food is very flavorful and the portions are pretty big. They also have good drink deals for most nights of the week.

I eat dinner here whenever I happen to get to Lincoln. The inside is decorated with vintage signs and license plates. I had the shrimp creole on my most recent visit, and overall it was good. My only complaint would be there wasn't enough rice for the volume of sauce on the plate. I am used to at least 1:1 ratio of sauce to rice. The staff was attentive despite the restaurant being completely full. It is hard to find authentic Cajun/creole food outside of Louisiana, so I will continue going to Buzzard Billy's.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nick P · Mar 2026

Doing a show in town, so I stopped in this morning and tried out the new Chorizo breakfast Burrito. Was incredible. Was in a hurry so I didn’t grab the waitress name but she was extremely friendly, and provided great service. Will stop in next time I’m in town !
