Thank you for curating! Do you know of Black-owned restaurants in Lincoln?
Hi there, I shared a list of Lincoln-based Black-owned restaurants on my Instagram story today. I will work on getting them added to this master list.
Maybe I missed it but i think Lutfi’s is also black-owned?
Wayned new skoo bbq is on Center St. Not C.
Thank you! We got it updated.
Southern Spoon in the food court in the Brandeis has the best friend catfish, Mac & cheese and warm smiles!
I love Soular Power Plate! International Vegan Soul Food 💯
Huskerland Popcorn 2305 N 90th St, Omaha, Ne 68134
Not a food place but Crown Trophy off of 90th is owned by a couple of really great gentlemen! And Covid hit during their busiest time of year :-(.
Is Bill’s barbecue still in business, by Saratoga school?
Yes, it looks like it! We went there during the barbecue food prowl when I was still at the Omaha World-Herald.
Thanks for sharing this. Hopefully the list keeps growing!
Where I can find other black owned businesses, i.e. lawn, landscaping, construction companies? Thank you.
I clicked on the link to Ethiopian Restaurant and it took me to a blank page. Help? This is a restaurant I am having difficulty finding any online info on.
Hi there. They don’t seem to have a website but their phone number is 402-345-0265. You could give them a call! Hope that helps.
