Open and amazing! - Edit
The food was really good. I’ve been vegan for 29 years, and I had one of the best veggie burgers ever there today. And my side (island beans) was really tasty. We all loved their flavorful food.

Worth the Price - Edit
The Naughty Buddha isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a place where food transcends the ordinary and becomes an art form. Each dish is meticulously crafted with handpicked ingredients, presented with a level of care that’s becoming alarmingly rare. The portions? Generous, bordering on indulgent. Sure, the prices might make you think twice, but one bite is all it takes to realize that quality like this is never cheap—and it's worth every damn penny.
Read moreWhat truly sets Naughty Buddha’s apart is its unapologetically vegan menu. They’re not trying to recreate meat; they’re redefining flavor. Burgers, bowls—it doesn’t matter. Each dish is a holistic triumph, where the ingredients don’t just coexist; they collaborate. Together, they create a harmony that celebrates the richness and complexity of plant-based cuisine. Naughty Buddha knows that great food isn’t about what you leave out but how you bring it all together.
Here, they’ve mastered the art of making food that sings—with bold yet balanced flavors, presentations that are as stunning as they are satisfying, and a reverence for quality that you can taste in every bite. A great meal isn’t just expertise; it’s a deep, almost obsessive connection to their ingredients and the people who provide them. Every detail, from the crisp greens to the perfectly seasoned ingredients, speaks to a commitment beyond the kitchen. It's food that tells a story, and every chapter is worth savoring.
Eat here, and you’ll remember that food is one of life’s treasures.
Pros: Presentation, Flavor , Portion (you could share a meal)

Delicious Wrap and Salad, AA++ Quality Ingredients - Edit
Naughty Buddha's Fire Dragon Wrap is packed with flavorful ingredients, easily the best vegan wrap I have ever tasted. The perfectly toasted, large wrap is filled with black beans, baked potato, "Chick" pieces, scrumptious chunks of fresh red Heirloom tomatoes, a little rice, a light amount of delicious sauce and a small bit of jalapeno.
Read moreMy Tsunami side salad was also a rare treat (included with the Fire Dragon wrap). A thin base of spring greens are topped with thick half slices of pineapple, orange, grapefruit, watermelon, cantaloupe sliver, plus a handful of blueberries and blackberries. Scrumptious yellow Heirloom cherry tomatoes are also a delicious highlight of this salad.
The fresh ingredients at Naughty Buddha were all at a perfect ripeness for flavor. A rich sauce is also included in a side cup.
My spouse enjoyed a Buddha Burger and watermelon salad.
The restaurant was comfortable with ample live plants and paintings. Located in a modern strip mall, parking is convenient near the entry. After dining at the Naughty Buddha, we walked over to the next door natural food Co-Op store (convenient, excellent selections).
Delicious and healthful meal. Highly recommended.

Delicious! - Edit
I was visiting Lincoln and Omaha for the weekend and I’m glad I chose to stop at Naughty Buddha! The owner is very kind and welcoming, and I especially loved the burger. Such great flavor and a nice mix of textures. I would go back if I found myself in Lincoln again.

Naughty is Nice - Edit
The Naughty Protein Bowl has quite a kick to it with the Naughty sauce. Love everything about it except the chips were a bit stale.

Nice vegan spot in Lincoln - Edit
The burger options were unique and it was delicious. I ordered the sauce on the side and it didn't arrive until I was almost done with my burger though. Prices on the menu would be a nice feature. I had no idea how much my order would be until they told me. The Green Tea rice was AMAZING!
Read morePros: Great options, All vegan
Cons: No prices on the menu, Hard to see behind the bamboo at the counter.

Unique burgers! - Edit
Naughty Buddha isn’t cooking up your average vegan burger. They’re delivering unique, mouth-watering flavors in creative combinations. TBH I didn’t know what to expect when I ordered the Buddhalicious burger with a side salad, but I was so surprised! Actually, that’s the best kale salad I’ve ever had. New fan here and couldn’t be happier to have a fully vegan burger spot in Lincoln!

Really amazing - Edit
I made an account just so I could show some love to this place. Was on a road trip to CO from Iowa and decided to stop by to grab some quick food and enjoyed it so much we went again on the way back!
Read moreMy partner and I both got the fiery dragon wrap, and it was literally some of the best vegan food I've ever had. The perfect amount of spicy (as someone that loves spice), super flavorful, and was more than filling without feeling heavy in my stomach.
On top of that, the staff are some of the friendliest I've ever met! There was a small correction I had to make to an order which they were sincerely accommodating for and quick to help.
Definitely coming back in the future when we're in the area, and I can't recommend enough that you do too.
Pros: Delicious Food, Kind Staff, Good Vibes Inside
Cons: Little More Expensive

So Good! - Edit
The Lincoln location is open (7/15/23) You should go.
Read moreThe burger is very "meaty" made from pea protein and mushrooms. It was excellent.
But the menu also includes chicken and chicken tenders and a fish sandwich.
The burgers come with a side. We had Ginger Love, which was a delicious kale and apple salad, Tsunami Salad which had lovely fresh fruit on the power greens, and Mac and Cheese (Saturday only).
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the burger styles. We had Drunken, Blue Mountain and Singing Buddah. All were great.
My Google maps directed me to the side of a multi unit building making it seem like the wrong spot. This restaurant is on the front with ample parking on the side.
