Displaced folks who find themselves in Lincoln — stu dents, state senators, or anyone else - can find a little bit of home at Mrs. Lutz’s, 1625 O St. From the doting waitresses (who admonish patrons who don’t wear mufflers when it’s cold) to the familiar 1970’s orange plastic flower displays, Mrs. Lutz’s re minds one of Gram's. The food particularly brings EAT From Page 5 w ere delicious. As far as the service goes, the waitresses were fast and friendly. My waitress even of fered separate tickets to my friend and I, which seems to be a burden at many other places. The prices were reasonable. The average meal was around S3, making it affordable for a college student. As the menu states “It's .simple." For the atmosphere, service, food and price, King's Drive Inn is definitely a bargain and well worth the visit. -- Chris Carey Runza I've never really liked runzas, but I couldn't resist the purple Runza Hut on Van Dorn Street between Lincoln and Pioneer’s Park Tucked away amidst a gravel lawn, elderly trees and a com munity of squirrels, the hut sits solemnly as cars w hiz. by A sign w ith weekly specials creeps out toward the road, attracting pas serbys as well as it can The “hut" lets patrons eat from the luxury of their own automobiles. W hen customers pull up. a sign commands them to “sound horn for service ’ kinda like the 50s. A waitress comes from the purple box with a pad and pencil. The menu is posted above the w indows of the hut. They don’t end the menu w ith runzas and hamburgers, but carry it on with cheese crunchies (cheese frcnchees) and footlongs and frozen malts. Just perfect for a summer lunch, or fall, or any time of the year The food is served steaming hot. The orange cheese from the crunchies drips out on the first bile The fries are still the best in the world, crinkle cut and per fectly salted. And the frozen malts - too hard to suck through a straw, too thick to eat with a plastic spoon, but idea! with a flat wooden spoon stick I’ve restricted all my eating experiences to cheese cninchies.but I’ve heard that the footlongs are equally good After the feast, you can drive off or gather the trash your car has accumulated and deposit it in the matching purple trash cans. Although.a for sale sign is planted to the side of the hut. 1 hope it never sells for the sake of eating with atmosphere. - Joeth Zucco David Frans/ Dally Nebraskan least one restaurant within walk ing distance of campus provides full course meals for reasonable prices. When you walk into Kuhl’s Restaurant, 1038 O Street, a sense of familiarity comes over you. The restaurant is long and ends with a kitchen in back. A red carpet and matching booths make the restaurant homey — in a way. Kuhl’s busiest hours usually fall during lunch when the coat rack is packed with overcoats and a hum of conversation satu rates the atmosphere. The most enticing feature of Kuhl’s is the food, not only food but meals. In my visits there every plate came with a salad and some with vegetables. The menu ranges from American dishes such as hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and veal to Greek items like gyros. The food is addicting and filling and rarely leaves room for dessert. nuu, a glass cabinet with revolving lev els models a wide variety of thick, colorful pies. The waitresses are the over polite kind, the kind you dream about. They refill your coffee and ice water, bring you big plates of delicious food and are always courteous. The counter near the door that holds the cash register is filled with last minute tempta tions: 5 cent mints and bubble gum. In the end, eating at Kuhl’s Restaurant is like being at home - plenty of food so you’ll grow up to be strong and healthy. -- Joeth Zucco Michelle Ross delivers an order to a customer in the lot of the Original Runza Drive Inn. Kuhl’s Restaurant. Mrs. Lutz's Hole in the Wall Buffet. I back all kindsol memories, res, tapioca pudding is available. No gourmet burgers here, either. The mammoth burgers here contain only (surprise) ham burger, and they fall apart just like the ones made on the grill at home. Flower-shaped bowls of cottage cheese come with those unidentifiable wedges of citrus type fruit. And, of course, what home-style eatery would be complete without HASH BROWNS smothered in endless, what-is-this-chunk gravy? They < an be found here. Although the waitresses don’t necessarily recommend menu items based on the merit of their nutritive value, these are con cerned women. An order of sweet rolls, pie and coffee lor lunch will prompt a horrified look that everyone will remem her from his or her past One almost expects to hear some thing to the effect of If you drink u»ffee so much, honey, your skin will turn yellow brown.' remaps me musi nc«u i warming quality about this place is its prices. One can get stuffed for alxnjt four dollars. Just as Gram provides food at her home for purely altruistic reasons, Mrs. Lutz’s emphasizes hospitality, not profit or table turnover. One could almost wear slippers and sweats here, but then one might be expected to help with the dishes, loo. Lor a place to embody such a nostalgic, homey spirit, it seems ironic that a sign on the door re minds customers to “Hat Out Often. ” At Mrs Lutz’s, though, eating out is really coming home.
