  We ordered takeout and went to Whiskey Run Vineyard for wine- easy solution to the no liquor license issue.  Food and wine were delicious.  a very nice day trip with our mom.  Save room for pie!

  We had high hopes but sadly, were disappointed.  This restaurant is steeped in Brownville history, and is certainly worth a stop for a slice of pie and a chat with the proprietor.  Unfortunately, the food was not good.  We had their "Old Fashion Potato Soup", which was just north of awful...watery, tasteless, blah.  Grilled cheese sandwiches were, I hate to say, pathetic.  I sent the coffee back because, honest to God, it smelled like poop.  This is so sad because this place could really be a gem if the food was better.

  Excellent food in a charming setting. The restaurant doubles as a bookstore/art gallery. I had the buffalo cheese ravioli, and it was amazing. Handmade and full of flavor! No liquor license was kinda of a minus, but didn't ruin the night.

  I've been here a couple times and every time it's been more than I expected. I visited last weekend after a night tent camping at Indian Cave's. My friends assumed it would be a greasy small town diner, perfect after a night of camping. They were all surprised to find it's anything but that.
  
  There's usually just a couple menu items, a salad, cheap coffee, juice, and tea, some muffins, and homemade pie.
  
  All homemade with quality ingredients. I had their spinach, feta, strawberry salad and was blown away. No offense to small towns in the middle of nowhere, but I expected ranch with ice burg lettuce as the house salad.
  
  For the main dishes of the day they had a turkey casserole or a cheese burger. Even the burger was quality and above average. Bravo!
  
  The Lyceum is a great asset the the little village of Brownville and I hope it stays around for a long time. If you're ever in SE Nebraska please make this a stop on your visit. You wont be let down.
