Very nice looking restaurant, pleasing to the eye and prices are really standard and not expensive at all especially for that place. Waiter was beyond respectful and polite, and this is the best burger I’ve tried in the US!!! Will definitely come back if I’ll be here, 10/10 amazing place.

It was our first time visiting and we tried many menu items for lunch! We took our baby and it was also kid friendly during the day. We will try again for dinner soon. The service was great and the restaurant is really nice ! We were interested in the buffets they offer and might try that sometime. The price of our was very decent for the quality and amount of food we got. We are excited to come back.

Our waiter Riley was friendly and attentive really great customer service from him. The food was good. We had the onion staws as an appetizer . They were a bit messy to eat but good. I had the NY strip with sauteed onions, potatoes a roll and broccolini. Brocolini is apparently a hybrid of american and chinese broccoli accordingto google. Its thinner than regular broccoli, the best way I can think to describe the flavor is that it was well a stronger broccoli taste. The steak was cooked medium as requested. It was a bit salty but not not too bad. I'd much rather it be a bit too seasoned than bland! Plus it's a matter of opinion others may not feel it was salty. My boyfriend had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, a roll and added on shrimp. He said it's the best chicken fried steak he's had. I git the salmon bites appetizer to go for my teenager. When I got it home she heated it back up on the stove top and said it was delicious. It is a bit pricey but I would definitely recommend it as a nice date night spot!

Very nice restaurant, good food and good prices. One if the better place in Kearney to eat at. Been here a handful of times and the food is really good. The atmosphere is very modern, and elegant, fancier but still a casual place to eat. Service isn’t the greatest but it seems to be getting a little better.

Amazing staff!!! Food is reasonably priced for the quality and portion size given. The atmosphere is calm and great for a night out with parents, spouses, and is kid friendly. We got two Appetizers, two entrees, two drinks, and a dessert for under 100

We stopped to eat in our trip. We were so hungry! All of our dogs were with us and they let them sit with us outside. The server was so sweet! I cannot remember her name but she is a soccer player for the university. She was amazing and took great care of us. My gluten free burger was yummy!

I was here for a quick lunch and was surprised by the atmosphere. I like the open kitchen area. We can look through it. The food was delicious. I have to come back here again for dinner.
