Careers
We’re building something here.
A two-floor restaurant that took 22 months to rebuild doesn’t run on shortcuts, and neither do the people in it. We hire for care, train the rest, and pay like we mean it.

Where this is, and what the drive looks like
Old Main is at 1103 Main Street in Crete — about twenty-five minutes southwest of Lincoln on NE-33, and a straight run against traffic in both directions. A good share of our team makes that drive, and parking here is free and on the street rather than a garage you pay for.
If you are cooking, tending bar, or serving in Lincoln right now and the commute is the only thing giving you pause, say so when you write. It is a conversation we have had before.
