Skillet dessert with ice cream, berry shortcake and coffee on the Old Main brunch table

Sundays · 10 to 2

Sunday brunch.

The one morning this building slows all the way down. Pastry baked that morning, benedicts built on the same beef we serve at dinner.

What’s on

What’s on at Old Main

Sunday only

Brunch is the one everybody drives in for.

Brunch hours

Sunday, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

One morning a week, the dining room turns over to brunch: the kitchen’s own pastry, eggs cooked properly, steak and eggs off the same herd that runs the dinner menu, and a bar that starts early.

It is twenty-five minutes from Lincoln, which is a short drive for a table that isn’t a chain and a room that was built in 1910.

Skillet dessert with ice cream, berry shortcake and coffee on the Old Main brunch table

The bar opens with the kitchen.

Bloody Marys built to order, mimosas by the glass or the bottle, espresso drinks, and the full cocktail list if you would rather start properly. The self-pour wall upstairs runs through brunch as well.

Book it, especially for a group.

Brunch is the busiest service of the week and the good tables go first. Walk-ins are welcome and often fine — but if you are bringing more than four people, or you want the window, reserve.

Coming from Lincoln? It is about twenty-five minutes.
