Havelock Misty's on GameDay

[mwulf]

Thinking about trying Misty's around noon on the day of the Colorado game. I've never been there on GameDay. For those that have is it a long wait or a packed zoo? This is 6ish hours before kick

Have not been on GameDay. I’ve been there on Friday night before a Saturday game and they had Herbie and cheerleaders. Wasn’t hard to get in.

Over the years I have become disappointed with Misty's quality. Haven't been there for 9 years but it used to be good. It would be below average if not for all the Husker memorabilia.

Should be totally fine at noon.

They serve their prime rib sliders at Champions Club. Really good stuff.

Any idea why it would not be as good?

I have always wondered that with restaurants. Is it new owners, new recipes?

Misty’s has never impressed me food wise. Love the Friday night vibe, but the food does not live up to the hype. The prime rib is good, but not great.

I like it just because it's a bit of a time machine but agree the food is hit or miss

 

[Charlie Marlow]

Totally overrated. Worst filet I ever had was Mistys

Load up on pizza at The Isles then stop for a beverage at Misty’s for tradition’s sake.

Misty's was well known for their prime rib and steaks. In the 70s we'd stop and then in the 80s when in college took my then girlfriend and now wife there and it was still good. Not soon after that, well I'm getting older, it was probably 20 years later stopped there and swore I'd never go back the prime rib was just that bad. I think that was about the same time they opened their downtown location. Could be with the expansion they cut back on quality of meat but whatever it showed

I went there after the game in 2015. There was no wait. It was unremarkable. And I think I got prime rib.

Misty's is overrated. It's a window into a time capsule which has passed its time. It's a "remember when" relating more to the 80s but is now a faint blur in the rear view mirror of the 21st century.

Since Misty’s sucks, what is now the premier restaurant to attend pre-game?

 

[huskerfan1414]

I bet they aren't open at noon.

I am getting in on Friday for the CU game. Friends whom I staying at their house in SE Lincoln are out of town (both Huskers, but they don’t go to games). My friends that I am going to the game with like me are also from out-of-state. They are bringing their whole family, and I mean the whole damn family. They are all going to Lee’s for chicken on Friday night. Not sure I want to do the grandkids thing. I will see them all on Saturday. Is there any place NEW and fun with good food where I can eat on Friday night? The people whose house I am staying at say go to Lazlo's, but we always eat there or get Val's. Since I am going to be alone, I would like someplace where I can eat at the bar and interact with the crowd. I am a talker and not very shy. I will take Uber so it can be anywhere. Should I just go down to the Haymarket District? If so, where should I go?
