Description: A family favorite, Spaghetti Works is one of the most affordable spots in the Old Market. With three locations in Nebraska and one in Iowa, the restaurants all offer lots of specials, including all-you-can-eat pasta starting at $5.99 and free meals for kids younger than 11 every Monday. The restaurant has been operating in both Omaha and Lincoln for more than 30 years. The Ralston and the Old Market locations both have outdoor dining; the Old Market’s vast outdoor seating area is on a converted loading dock that stretches almost a whole block and is popular in the summer. In all the restaurants, the salad bars are created out of old cars: Model T trucks in Lincoln and the Old Market and a vintage Chevy truck in Ralston. Other offerings include pizza, lasagna, a full bar, root beer on tap, and a wide variety of Italian sodas. The other locations are at 228 N. 12th St., Lincoln (402-475-0900) and 8416 Park Dr., Ralston (402-592-1444).
