Came here with my fiance for dinner to celebrate his birthday. We really liked the variety of items here! So many to choose from, but the downside was that they didn't have too many modifications available to make it healthy. He got the Alligator Grand Chenier. The dish was just as described. Bearded alligator meat in a creamy sauce with mushrooms and onion. What a massive serving size here! We were both shocked at the size of the dish that came. A large amount of sauce with some alligator meat in it. I was really hoping there would be more meat though. I asked before if it were possible to get the sauce on the side or something but it turned out they cooked the meat in the sauce and it's all prepared ahead of time. It would have been great to get that sauce on the side and control the serving size but overall it was a good dish. I ordered the Chicken Tchoupitoulas(Cajun style grilled chicken breast) which was cooked perfectly and quite fresh. The Cajun seasoning on there was top notch! We both got a side of Cajun cream corn and steamed vegetables. The vegetables were quite a generous amount. And perfectly steamed. A collection of broccoli, cauliflower and yellow squash as well as carrots. The creamed gone tasted so rich and had a really really deep flavor to it. A very very serving size. Here is well. I had some and took the rest to go but ended up not having any more the next day because I called to ask about the ingredients and it turned out they had quite an amount of heavy cream and bacon grease in there. Not the most healthy option, but really good and taste if this is not something you care about too much. He also got a Moscow mule (strawberry basil I think). I found it quite strong because I don't drink too much but he loved it.

Friendly staff, fast seating & service. Large dining room with plenty of seating plus bar. Blackened catfish was the star, but jambalaya & gumbo were also delicious! Cheers!

Food was good but we got there during an event so they had a special menu so that was kinda an issue because it was mostly just burgers

The young lady had went and took my order. It took over 20 minutes even though she said it'll be about that time. But it was so worth the wait...the Buffalo 🍔 is so good. If you decide to order the Buffalo Patty you can get it to any style of Burger on the menu. They have outdoor dining if you decide to sit outside, which is a pretty cute patio, for downtown Lincoln Nebraska. Buzzard Billy's reminds me of TGIF's restaurants with all the vintage items on the wall. Parking is hard to find downtown here in Lincoln. I can't imagine the weekends trying to find a parking space. The building is old and vintage which I love. The architect is very beautiful.

No, they don't. Well not on a Saturday anyways. I had 23 people and they wouldn't take a reservation nor even start to seat us til all my people were there. We were all there by 7 which is what I originally told them.

Heard something about a free or discounted meal for birthdays?? Does one have to be there ON their day? Any details welcome. Thanks!

Buzzard Billy's has always done a free entree on your birthday as long as you have another paying person with you. It used to be something you signed up for, then it was just noted on their menu, and now I think you just have to know and ask for it. But yes, it has always had to be on the day of your birthday.
