Salad bar is my favorite but the people that work there are always friendly. Food is great of course. Other than salad bar I recommend the Asian stir fry. Price is reasonable for how fresh the food is.

One of my favorite lunch places downtown. Always has fresh and healthy options, but for some reason I stick to the salad bar. I love salad bars. I want to try many of their specials of the day though that so many people brag about in their reviews! They are open for a relatively short lunch time though so before going you might want to check, it is i think 1-3pm? Not bad! I love the atmosphere, sophisticated gorgeous high-rise building in OKC. Fabulous views. There are a lot of things to try here so definitely go!

Yum. Yum. Yum. Cliche to yum again? Don't care. Yum. Nebu is delicious and beautiful and perfect. Yes, I said perfect. There are so many options to choose from and from what I could tell, you can't make a mistake. I joined a friend there for lunch and she got me a guest parking spot so I can't speak to the parking (which is honestly what has kept me away because I don't work right in downtown), but even if it were a hassle it would be worth it. The day I was there, Nebu had many healthy options as well as standards like pizza and burgers. I opted for the salmon with chimichuri, asparagus and cous cous and a watermelon iced tea. It was ~$9 before my friend's employee discount and a lot less after and was arguably better than any fine-dining salmon I have had in OKC. If I worked in the tower or even in downtown I don't think I would ever bring my lunch again. Every single employee working at Nebu greeted me, told me to have a good day, and smiled the whole time. It is clear that Devon put a lot of thought and effort into their cafeteria (but really, can we find something better to call it in this case?). I can't wait to go back and try more options.

Love Nebu, wonderful food and staff, but only having breakfast and lunch Monday - Friday is a tad limiting. Especially when most often they are super crowded due to Devon employees.

Yelp keeps prompting me to review Nebu so now I finally am. I have 92 check-ins there and I'm not a Devon employee. At least once a week, frequently more, I make the walk from my office in Bricktown to the Devon Tower for lunch at Nebu. I really appreciate Devon opening their employee cafeteria to the general public and also that they serve lots of tasty, healthy choices along with the normal not so healthy lunch choices. I have to exercise to get there and then I eat healthy when I do so that's a win-win day for me. The one benefit I miss by not being a Devon employee is getting the 50% discount they provide to their employees on their healthy choice items. I don't eat the healthy items only because they are healthy. I eat them because it's food I love and can't get anywhere else downtown for lunch at such a reasonable price. Seafood and fish are some of my favorites and you can get big pieces of quality salmon and mahi mahi at Nebu. The exact offerings vary from day-to-day and sometimes week-to-week. I have signed up for the daily email of the special offerings but you can also check it out at cafenebu.com where you can see the Daily Menu for items they have every day as well as the Weekly Menu that shows the special items in each section for each day. If you check this out in advance, it will make it a little bit easier when you get there. You will just have to see if they still have the item you want. I am a late lunch eater so I sometimes miss out on my first choice but always find something worth getting. They close at 1:30pm so don't be too late but around 1:00 pm you miss the big lunch crowd. I glanced through some of the other reviews. I noticed one lady complained about how much she assumed her small soda cost but that she couldn't check it because she didn't get a receipt. You frequently do have to request a copy of the receipt from the cashier but two copies are always printed out. Nebu keeps the first copy & the second copy is for the customer. I always get one. I don't think I have ever paid for a drink at Nebu. They have dispensers of cold water, one always has lemon slices in it and another cucumber slices, that are free. Just get a glass and fill it up. About every other week, Nebu has carved turkey breast at the bistro station. I love turkey but I don't cook and I didn't get to have turkey at Thanksgiving (we waited too long and had to have ham). I was happy that this was turkey week so I went Monday and had the carved turkey breast. The serving is always a large two slices and the bistro has an assortment of toppings available for the meat and fish offerings. In keeping with my belated Thanksgiving theme, I got the cranberry sauce topping. The turkey is always moist and tender and the salmon is also delicious. Their turkey meat loaf is so good and popular that I have only managed to get it once before they sold out of it. The bistro items come with a choice of two sides which vary day by day. I won't go into detail about what all I have eaten there. As of now, there are 80 photos on Yelp for Nebu. I am guessing that the majority are mine. You may be surprised that I am only rating Nebu at 4 stars and not 5. Well, with experience I usually make good choices but I have had a few not so stellar selections as would be expected in a cafeteria setting. All of the staff working there have always been very friendly and helpful. I am definitely a fan and will be back at Nebu eating lunch again soon!

This is the first time I've eaten here. Cheaper than the Whole Foods Lunch bar, which I also love. Located at the bottom of the Devon building. I got brown rice sushi maki to go for $8.50. Actually, with the downtown employee promo they're doing, I got an additional 20% off and bought lunch for a friend. You can get a variety of foods from the traditional American hamburger to pho. It's a short walk from where I work. Nice atmosphere. Nice healthy selection. I imagine it's nice during the spring. They have outdoor seating in which you can view the Myriad Botanical Gardens. Worth stopping by.

Fantastic food court/cafeteria in the bottom of Devon Tower. It's a little overwhelming if you haven't been. There are a lot of choices: sushi, BBQ, sandwiches, Mexican, salad bar, hot food. Even though this place feeds a lot of people daily, they get you out quickly. There are several drink stations as well as cashiers. The area is desired very well. On my first trip, I went with a salad and BBQ. The salad bar is a little high at $9.60 a pound, but it's fresh, very well stocked, and has nice variety. I don't mind paying a little more than you usually would for a salad bar given the location and the choices. The BBQ had about 4-5 choices for meats and another half dozen choices for sides. I went with a 2 meat combo of sausage and smoked turkey with baked beans and mac n cheese for my 2 sides. I don't know if this is typical, but I got a LOT of food. I received a large scoop of each side (he actually went back to get more mac n cheese) and a large serving of each meat. The turkey was the winner of the 4 dishes. It was juicy and had a nice hint of smoke. The sausage was good, but it was just average. The beans needed a lot more seasoning, but they were cooked well. The mac n cheese was standard, but it was better than the beans. I would order the turkey and the mac n cheese again. I've only been one time, but I imagine on future trips I will be updating this review to 5 stars. It's a great cafeteria and it works well downtown.

The food was so so and selection was good. For cafeteria style I thought it was a little over priced however most would argue the foods quality. Cool place to check out the scenery is very nice and the overall atmosphere is great. Check it out at least once. Had the pizza and it was mediocre.

Nebu is just a short walk from my office, and I love it. If I'm not sure what I want for lunch, I head to Nebu because I know I'm sure to find something good. They have all kinds of food - pizza, pasta, sandwiches, soup, Asian food, even sushi (that is actually pretty good)! The only thing I've had here that I didn't like was pad Thai, and afterward I wondered why I was expecting an authentic pad Thai from a cafeteria-style place. Having said that, I've enjoyed sushi, salads and sandwiches from Nebu very much. Meg mentioned she was overwhelmed in walking in, and I can totally see that. Everyone else seems to know exactly where they're going, so if it's your first time, just wander around and look for signs for the different kinds of food. haha I'll also say it can get kind of pricey, between $10 and $15, which isn't horrible, but more than you'd pay for a good lunch other places downtown. It's not somewhere I'd eat every day, but definitely a great addition to downtown!

Really high quality stuff! Great selection. Especially when you get selected meals for 50% off ;)

I decided to give this place a try for a change in my Friday lunch routine. The restaurant is actually more of a cafeteria-style setup where you pick which option looks best to you and then take your food to the cashiers at one of the entrances to pay for it. It's a little confusing at first, but the staff serving the food were very friendly and eager to help new customers figure it out. There's a strong focus on being environmentally friendly, too, with compostable and recyclable materials used. The seating areas are also great with the option to sit indoors or outside. I ordered the following item as specified in their menu: Grilled Balsamic Chicken and Apple Panini with Dried Cranberry Compote and Fontina Cheese with One Well Side 8.00 Cal 489, Fat 5.5g, Sat Fat 2.1g, Sod 760mg, Carbs 51g, Fib 5g, Pro 24g I went with the couscous with grilled veggies as my one side item and added a single to-go cup of soda to my meal. Sadly, those 20 oz sodas must cost over $2 since my total meal came to over $11. That's a little on the high side just for lunch. Obviously, I should have gotten a drink elsewhere where it would have cost quite a bit less. It didn't help that the cashier's english was rather poor, so I couldn't get a receipt to break down the cost either. Taste-wise, the couscous was good, but the panini was rather dry. While that might have been okay at a lower price, I was disappointed considering how much that cost me. I think that, overall, I'll probably pass on stopping by here for lunch again.

I came back for lunch today and I ordered the Buffalo Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, pickle and Green Jasmin Black Tea. I asked for my burger to have chedder cheese on with lettuce and tomato. Instead of the little piece of lettuce I received last time, I got a healthy leafy green piece and a large tomato that covered the whole meat patty. The protein was kind of dry, but I think that's how bison meat is unfortunately. I slathered the bread with Chipotle mayo and it helped make the burger less dry! I feel that the regular french fries are better then then sweet potato one's.... This time the cook toasted my bread so it tasted 100x's better! My meal came out to 11 bucks today, so... I might try not to order a drink next time I dine here!

I am at a loss for words. I have lived in Oklahoma City all my life and started working downtown before I could drive. This restaurant, much like the building in which it lives, is a game changer for Downtown OKC employees. I worked in the First National Center (FNC) for seven years. The closest, fastest, cheapest options, were national sandwich chains and after so much processed meat, sometimes it was better to just not eat lunch. Kashi Go Lean bars became my go to. Some great little local spots were in the surrounding buildings, but you can only drink so many smoothies and eat so much chicken salad. And I love me some Ken (owner of the Chinese buffet in FNC- big ups, Ken!), but you can't get Chinese buffet on the daily, no matter how much you think it calls your name. So back to Nebu: Do this math: for around $7, you can have your pick of sandwiches, salads, wraps, soups, sushi, or one of four or five daily specials. I think between the regular options and the specials, if you worked in this building and chose to eat here on the daily, you could have something different every day, all year. I posted a bunch of pictures because it literally has to be seen to be believed. I had the soba noodles in a miso broth. I got to pick from chicken, shrimp, tofu or a combo. Broccoli, asparagus, tobiko, peppers, carrots, onions, mushrooms and more could be added, as many as you wanted, for the same price. Which (with tax) came to $6.88. I had a (free) cucumber water, but had about 100 different teas, waters and natural sodas to choose from. The meal itself was fantastic, as my lunchmate can attest because I ate with so much gusto I ended up with soup all over me and really did not care. I've eaten in one of the cafeterias at Microsoft, and I can tell you that this is so much better it is difficult to compare the two. I plan to work here from time to time, so let me know if you want to try it. They'll probably just think I actually work in Devon Tower!

This place offers delicious food. There is nothing great and nothing horrible. There is a rather large selection and the food is relatively fresh.

I'm at a little bit of a loss for how to write this review. All of the other reviews are great and I've been excited about trying Nebu, but I just didn't have a 5 or even 4 star experience. First of all, I was completely befuddled and I didn't even know where to begin! Upon entering I couldn't find a tray and I was surrounded by what felt like thousands of people buzzing around me in all different directions. I felt like I was at the London Heathrow airport about to pull my hair out. Since I was completely overwhelmed, I settled on the first vegetarian item I saw: a veggie burger. This decision came after I finally realized that you have to walk past everyone in line waiting to see the small menus on the counters. That annoyed me. It took less than 5 minutes to get my veggie burger and then I went over to the salad bar. There were so many different items that I was pretty excited about this part. I put all kinds of stuff on my salad including some delicious curry cauliflower. Downfall of the salad bar: there were too many people waiting in line for the other side where all the cheeses and other salad condiments were so I feel like my salad could have been much better than it was (since I decided to avoid the people). Food: 3 stars because my veggie burger wasn't that great. It was obviously a crappy frozen patty and it left me feeling uneasy all day. My salad was delicious though and everything was actually pretty reasonably priced. I think my whole meal was less than $8. Service: ehhhh 2 stars because the lady we checked out with was short with me when I asked where the water was and because I didn't know what the hell I was doing when I got there and I couldn't find anyone to ask. Maybe I'm just an idiot. Total of 3 stars because there are a lot of eco-friendly qualities surrounding this restaurant/cafeteria and I love that they love to renew, reuse and recycle. I may come back someday but there are too many other places downtown that I want to try and this place was just a little too much stimulation for me. Maybe it would be different if I worked in the Devon tower.

You don't have to work at Devon to eat here. Don't be afraid to try it if you are on the West side of Downtown around lunch. Get there around 1 and it isn't that crowded but don't be late, they close at 130pm. The sammy's are by far my favorite. You get several choices of meat, cheese and bread. I usually get hormone free sliced chicken or turkey breast, fresh greens, really really sweet and soft tomatoes, cucumbers, dijon and provo. A few different bread choices and I've had them all. The bread has to be fresh baked cause it's so delicious. Are they making it or does it come from somewhere local? Oh, and my side today was the quinoa with spinach and dried cranberries. It was freaking amazing. In addition to the wonderful review Julie P. posted, I'll add they also have burritos, pizza, pasta, calzone, and cafeteria style American food (think carving station with steamed veggies and mashed potatoes). They also minimize the impact on landfills by using recycled paper, washable plates, baskets, glasses and utensils (they have plastic utensils for the on-the-go pro) and recycle any plastic or aluminum product you use. Yay! FYI - The executive chef came out and talked to us today. He was pumping up a new coffee and pastry shop they are opening in August. Ugh, 6 am comes early but hopefully their creations will make it a reason to get out of bed.

Just an update from the original review. This place has evolved quite a bit from when it opened. It was a great place to get breakfast for a while, but I think management decided they weren't making enough money on particular breakfast items, and they fixed that by retraining their employees in portion sizes on certain items, and from what I saw eliminating employees that were serving larger portion sizes. I'd say I like City Bites or Golden Dragon more for breakfast fare now. NEBU is pretty expensive for what you get on all counts. The lunch fare has in many ways devolved into mass produced cafeteria food. The entrees are ok, there are some gems if you can identify them. I had some AMAZING jalapeno cornbread with chunks of corn the other day. I'd stick to the things that they prepare/cook in front of you for the most part though. Those carvery items are never cooked right. I used to get the pork loin, but the last two times it was so tough and chewy I could have mistaken it for a bad brisket. How you make a pork loin not good and at least sort of tender is a mystery to me. In the several I have cooked, I have never managed to slaughter one as badly as the ones I consumed at NEBU. Overall, I feel like Guckenheim must operate with a lot of overhead or they just demand too high of a return, because it seems like they charge pretty high prices for cafeteria food with a healthy flare. When NEBU first moved in, there was a buffer zone around them of all of the businesses that fell at the hands of the lengthy construction around the tower, and some of the businesses clinging to life after that got wiped out when NEBU opened. But they have I think left a large number of diners wanting, and the vulnerability has shown this year, as The Cow, Park House, and Ice House opened up and have taken away some of the diners that don't want to wander all the way to bricktown. The market for good food at reasonable prices around the tower downtown is WIDE open. I'm just waiting for some other small business owners to swoop in and take advantage of NEBUs inability to cater to their market's demands in terms of quality and price. Trendy small restaurants specializing in quality fare (The Mule, Waffle Champion, Steve's Rib, maybe even Ted's, and the like) take note, I think someone is losing a lot of money by not making the decision to target the market next to NEBU and the botanical gardens.

Good variety and everything is pretty good. Burrito Bowls are a fav. Prices are as good or better then most places downtown. Atmosphere is decent. Street Parking can be hard to find sometimes if your not within walking distance.

The husband and I decided to try this on a Tuesday afternoon at about 1:15. I was under the impression that they closed at 2 but when we got there, we had to hurry bc they close at 1:30. Even that close to closing time, I was glad to see that they hadn't started shutting down the stations, so we were able to have a full selection. They have sushi, stir fry, italian, sandwiches, pretty much any type of food variety you might want for lunch. I had the salad bar, which was delicious, well stocked and fresh, the husband had chicken parmesan and sautéed spinach. We loved our food; it was delicious and reasonably priced. They also had mint water, lemon water, and lime water, which were all refreshing. We don't work at Devon, but they don't care who comes. it was a little late for lunch, so the sitting area was not crowded & the views are a great setting in which to enjoy lunch. We will definitely go back to try more menu items.
