Cafe On the Square

This is one of those hidden gems! If you’re ever around Seward, NE stop in for a great experience! Cozy surroundings, great service and amazing food. Recommend the everything omelet or the cinnamon roll pancakes……careful the pancakes are plate sized and amazing!!

Seward is such a lovely small town and this cafe is phenomenal! First time here and came for an early dinner after a 10 hour car ride! Breakfast is all day and that was amazing! EVERYTHING was so delicious! We had fried pickles (first time having fired picked spears and soooo yummy), cinnamon roll pancakes, avocado toast, eggs, Ruben and fries, baked Mac with chicken, regular pancakes and bacon!

We enjoyed it so much that we are going back for breakfast before getting back on the road. Staff is kind, friendly and attentive.

Solid breakfast on a traditional town square! My cousin recommended this restaurant for breakfast on our drive through Nebraska. It was well worth the stop and a needed charge for our road trip. We got a Corner Breakfast, Chicken Fried Steak Skillet, Avocado Toast, and Biscuits & Gravy. Everyone was very pleased with their meals. Sausage patties were fresh and non-uniform. Gravy had a little tang that was different but flavorful. Very clean and trendy. Recommended stop!

Amazing food!! Family friendly. Our waitress Audra was fantastic. Will definitely be back

Love the atmosphere, the music, in many ways it reminds me of a nostalgic diner.
With that said, it is not run down or unkept. Very cleanly.
Friendly staff,

Cheese curds, large portion, fair price.
Excellent taste, house made ranch.

Shrimp scampi, decent portion size, shrimp cooked perfectly, pasta has perfect bite..
It's not drowning in sauce which is exactly how it should be.

Pot roast, amazing...
The meat is unbelievable tender, real mashed potatoes, thus is the perfect pot roast...

I can usually find an "issue" with restaurants (as many of you know) but this place is amazing.

I will make the 90minute drive back out here for this quality....

Coming up on 5mill views, so I know I have a lot of Lincoln readers, trust me, it's worth the drive to come here....

Delicious food at a reasonable price. You can tell items were homemade and fresh. Great atmosphere and friendly waitstaff. We will be back next time we are in the area.

This was my first time going here and I will definitely be going back again! The fish sticks weren't too greasy, and I definitely got my money's worth of fish. The garlic Herb crusted walleye is the perfect dish for lent as well. The mimosa flight is affordable, and each flavor is equally delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more menu items.

This was a fantastic little place! Everyone was so friendly, the food was delicious, and the building was so historic. My husband and I were in town for a wedding and came to the Cafe on a Saturday for lunch and only took a few minutes to be seated, even though every table was full when we came in. The next morning, we brought around twenty of our friends and family members with us for breakfast! Here you'll get small town hospitality and big city taste and experience. We'll definitely be back if we ever make it to the Seward area again!

Cafe on the Square is truly a hidden gem. The food was “out of this world” delicious and the waitress was very attentive and friendly. The decor is very cool in a brick building. Highly recommend and will be back for many more meals.

New owners re-opened the restaurant in March 2018. Great food and service! They live up to their slogan of "Big City Taste with Small Town Charm." Go give them a try!

Did take out. Was not disappointed. Excellent food. A must visit if you are in Seward.

Nice, hometown eatery with a dose of class. Friendly waitstaff and nice atmosphere. Food is very good, with consistent quality, and reasonably priced. Breakfast is our favorite meal here and we drive from Lincoln regularly for it, but their regular menu is tasty too. They do many different flavors of mimosas, and they are all good. A gem in Seward!

Great place to go with friends and family. Good food at a fair price and quick service. Atmosphere is great. Classy and comfortable. My wife ordered pancakes and was served French toast but didn't complain it was very good.

They have a great menu and the food is delicious. The waitresses were friendly, the service was fast, couldn't ask for anything more.

Nice little cafe with great food and service. Pretty reasonable prices too.

Each time our family has went here, the service was amazing! The food was perfect! A gem in a small town! The last review I read from a guy named Gary, was ridiculous! He order 9 cheeseburgers! Nine! He was mad they added on a tip of 18%! Was he not planning on tipping for a large order like that?! 20% is the minimum tip! Take a seat seat Mister!

A rare gem in a small town. Ate here Sunday right. Store noon. Food was fresh and well done. We had the blackened back. Geese burger and the garlic grilled cheese. Many of the dishes had an uptown feel but. It too uptown.
Definitely a cut above the usual pub foodi. Service was very good.

Great food and great service! Love the atmosphere.

Great service, great food. I had the Heinz 57 Bacon Burger, the special today, and my husband had the Town Square breakfast. That burger is seriously the best burger I have had in years. Thick patty, thick cut bacon was perfectly cooked (not limp or burnt), perfect portion size. It's a shame we don't live closer, but I'd drive through Seward just to eat here again.

We had good food and great service on a Saturday lunch time. I had the chicken strip basket and my friend the Cobb salad. The chicken strips were hot with a batter recipe and not greasy at all. Good size order of fries too. My friends Cobb salad looked great and she said it was.
