11-Worth Cafe

11-​Worth always brings a solid breakfast experience. It is by no means gourmet, but there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you just want a solid breakfast and 11-​worth definitely provides just that!

Ok I have to admit, the first time I came here it was all too perfect. I thought there is no way the food could be this good, the service this excellent, and fast. So I waited to do my review, until I came back two more times after that to confirm my initial impressions. Well after today it is official. This place is legit. Best food. Best service. Hands down. They offer a VIP card which gives you an extra 15% off your order Monday — Thursday. Yes, that is off their already ridiculously reasonable prices! Extra crispy bacon? Yes, please. Here’s another tip… you can ask them to cook your hash browns crispy, put cheese on your eggs, AND they have a double brewed or «strong» coffee which is the best! This is my favorite breakfast place in town… and I do love me some breakfast.

Great food at a really nice price. The owner is a hard working guy, who takes the time to talk to you. He knows almost everyone who comes in. The food is again, terrific. I highly… I MEAN HIGHLY recommend this place.

Diner food. The best diner food! If you order the chicken fried steak and eggs, it will come on 3 plates. Eggs on one, the massive CFS on another and the potatoes and bread on a third. The portions are no joke, the carb coma that happens after isn’t kidding either.
For best options you need to go during the week or you run the risk of waiting for an hour on the weekend. Sometimes it feels as if all of Omaha is crammed in the waiting area but the food is worth it. I have been really enjoying the potato casseroles as of late. Hash browns, chunks of CFS, onions, peppers and tomatoes all jumbled together. I get mine with two eggs over easy on top and smothered in gravy. Then I either plow the back 40 or take a nap.
The staff here is a lot of fun, attentive without hovering and on the ball. They can really flip the tables without making you feel rushed. A true art form. Go and try breakfast there, just be sure to renew your Lipitor before you go.

We got in right away & the host told the server to take care of us since we need to drop nephew off the airport. The place is packed & it seemed that every server is there to serve you. We both have an identical dish # 14 steak & egg. As crowded as the place, the place maintained in order & we are waiting for the food. The food arrived in good time! The steak is medium done. Our server, Christine is awesome & definitely we will come back!

Great greasy spoon option in east/​downtown Omaha. One of my favorites along with Lisa’s radial café and Leo’s diner in Benson.
Located in a very «downtown» (read: probably needs a city facelift) location on Leavenworth, parking is a breeze with street options or their parking lot. It’s open only till 3pm daily, so breakfast and lunch are your options here.
I love the country fried steak and the potato casserole here, but beware-​you might not be able to breathe or move after your meal. I would reserve this as a special occasion/​once in a while treat for brunch. Otherwise, if frequented too often you’ll probably not be doing yourself a favor around the waist line or in your arteries…
That aside– Great place to get all of your unhealthy popular American breakfast favorites! Also a family oriented place, awesome and friendly service, and still gives you that small town feel.

Took so long for me to eat here. Everyone in Omaha loves this place so I had to check it out. Definitely worth the wait! Friendly staff, great customer service. Food was really good and affordable. Lots of options, I felt so overwhelmed bc I wanted to try everything. Lol… I just stuck with breakfast… I can’t wait to go back

This place is an Omaha institution! AMAZING, big breakfasts and the standard. Great prices too.
Don’t expect to eat a healthy meal. Expect a full belly.

Fast service, my server was really friendly, The food was «Off The Hook». Best Breakfast that I have had in Omaha, this will be my new regular spot

As an undergrad many moons ago, there was a local diner called Shortcakes, which is where you went after the bars closed. You’d go with your friends to have a late breakfast to ease the next days inevitable pain. I ate many a meal there, some I remember, and my go to option was the Western Omelette. I’ve tried many since and few have lived up to the wonder of those drunken meals… until I went to 11-​Worth Café. I found a great Western Omelette and was totally sober!
We’ve been looking for a great breakfast spot and I had, of course, seen the reviews. I had also been referred to 11-​Worth by a few colleagues. I stopped in recently on the way to work on a Tuesday morning. I love the place. It looks and smells like a diner should. Reminds me of a place I use to go as a kid with my grandma and that’s a good thing. The servers are friendly and efficient and the food is plentiful. I ordered the junior omelette with hash browns and biscuit and barely got through the thing. I cannot imagine eating the regular portion, which is apparently four eggs!
The western omelette is loaded with ham, veggies, and cheese. It’s so good. The hash browns are prepared perfectly. My wife, who is a hash brown junkie, and I went back a couple of days later because I knew she’d love them. And she did. Everything about our meals were great. Our server the second time was named Maggie and she was awesome. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Part of the fun is people watching, as you get folks from all walks of life in there on a given morning.
If you are one who is able to hit breakfast on weekdays (M-​Th), you can sign up for the VIP card, which gives you 15% off your ticket. With the discount, my solo meal came to like 8 bucks with coffee and my wife and I got out of there for under $ 20, including tip. It’s a nice little discount on already very reasonable prices. I have a few other diners bookmarked that I am sure we will try, but right now the leader in the clubhouse for best breakfast in Omaha is 11-​Worth. It’s fantastic.

One of the best breakfast spots in Omaha.
I don’t make it out this way nearly as often as I would like!

All I can start by saying is: Holy hot beef.
I am madly in love with 11-​worth café for multiple different reasons. First, it’s so cheap compared to the amount of food you get. Second, the service is quick and everyone is very welcoming and friendly! And lastly, I am officially a VIP and it makes me feel important .
On my last visit, we had gone in later in the afternoon so I wasn’t feeling too much for the breakfast side. I had noticed on the entry sign that the special was a hot roast beef plate, I highly considered it. Our waitress mentioned the special again so I took it as a sign that I should get it… and I’m very happy I did. The meal was HUGE! Bigger than the size of my head x2. There were two large scoops of mashed potatoes on top of two large pieces of toast with a pile of roast beef slathered with brown gravy. I was in heaven eating this. The gravy is to die for and the roast beef was tender and juicy — all for 8 dollars! I couldn’t even finish half my plate, very hearty and delicious meal. Overall, always have a pleasant experience and have yet to be disappointment with my entrees!

Fantastic breakfast food and at a super affordable price. Big portions. We had excellent service. Ask for Cici. She’s the best.
We’re only in Omaha for a few days and will be going back for their breakfast before we leave!

Fiancé and I visited this establishment finally, we have heard so much about this place. We got here about 8am which was perfect, we even got parking right in front.
We got the ultimate omelette and the Denver. Our first thought was it was kind of pricy, until we received our food. The portions are huge, we both took half our meals home. The restaurant was consistently busy and got more busy as time went on. Service was great, food was fast. Lives up to all the hype.
As we walked out the door the place was packed, definitely recommend coming as early as possible, prior to 9 if you don’t want to wait.

There’s a certain mystique about this place that makes it more than your typical «greasy spoon» restaurant.
The service was great and the food and variety was better than most breakfast cafes out in the area.
Highly recommend!

When the waitress tells you they serve «massive» portions, it’s no joke. I ordered a Jr. size of the Santa Fe Chicken Omelette and was plenty satisfied. The normal size omelettes are colossal. No extra charge for cholesterol-​free eggs is a nice touch.
Pretty large wait on a Sunday morning as expected. We were told that the wait would be 20 minutes, but ended up getting seated in 40, so one star off for that. Thankfully, there’s plenty of seating and free coffee to pass the time by.
11-​Worth is definitely worth your time! Not too loud, crazy cheap prices, and delicious not-​too-​greasy brunch food. I’ll be back.

The place was extremely busy for a Sunday noon rush but our 20 min was worth it. We decided on lunch instead of the popular breakfast everyone else was eating. My side salad was your average salad and my country fried chicken with country gravy was tasty but was overlooked. The hashbrowns were top notch — crunchy top & with the right amount of saltiness. Service was good as well. The Hub’s country fried steak was definitely one of the best I have had so my recommendation would to order it as oppose to the chicken.

Holy goodness, this is one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. HUMONGOUS portions, very affordable prices, friendly staff, and downright delicious food. Two of us made the (very tasty) mistake of ordering a Country Potato casserole — mounds of hashbrowns covered in cooked vegetables, a generous chunk of country fried steak, and two different kinds of cheese, served with gravy on the side (and we got poached eggs to throw on top) AND a country fried steak, which came with eggs, hashbrowns, and a biscuit. The waitress tried to stop us after ordering the casserole saying that would be enough, but I thought we’d be ambitious. In the end, we polished off the casserole after sharing it, and maybe got a quarter of the way through the steak — we left the hashbrowns and both biscuits for later.
First, the casserole — amazing. We added hot peppers — and they did not skimp. And the hot sauce they provided worked so well with the dish. They also did not skimp on the portion of steak included in the casserole. Just good old fashioned comfort breakfast, and absolutely something that I will have dreams about in the future. It’s the kind of dish that made you wish 11-​Worth was a national chain!
As for the second dish, the steak was excellent, the gravy was delicious, and the hashbrowns were perfectly done — crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle. The biscuits — consumed three days later — were large and very good (though I wish we had eaten them earlier).
The wait staff was excellent, frequently refilling the coffee, providing to-​go boxes, and they all possessed a positive and friendly attitude.
All of that food with the two coffees clocked in at less than $ 25 — a steal for how much you get.
I may fly back to Omaha just for this. I have heard great things about other places in the city also, but I can attest this is real deal, comfort food worth craving.

Another stop on the biscuits a gravy quest. Their serving here is huge. I added eggs over easy as usual. and pickled jalapenos! The peppers had a pretty healthy kick to them, so this was a delicious dish for me. Tender and fluffy biscuits were dressed up with just the right amount of gravy. The gravy seemed well prepared but I may need to come back… those peppers rocked my brain and tongue into amnesia!
Service was awesome.
I started talking to a table of four advanced aged folks behind me about Omaha and its seemingly aggressive drivers. This has been my observation, even though the people here are more friendly and laid back than most places. We had some laughs about that and talked a bit more about Omaha. Turns out my compliments of Omaha were influential enough that they bought my breakfast! Awesome! I can’t wait to pass that on to some unsuspecting eater at some point soon!

Standard diner. Clean. Service was quick.
Got a fried egg sandwich and a sausage biscuit. The egg on the sandwich was unfortunately like rubber. Overcooked. Sausage biscuit was about the same size as a McDonalds biscuit, but came with two patties. The real drawback was that a similar sized sausage biscuit at McDonalds is .99 cents. The sausage biscuit at this café with two patties cost me $ 6.99. That was pretty outrageous
Pretty overpriced for what I got. Might go back to try the omelettes
