Hojo's is the latest iteration of the local bar/cafe/gathering place in Holbrook, previously named…read moreSmitty's, Wayne's (I think), plus some other names over the past 40 years I've been going there, and it hasn't changed too much during that time. During the day it serves as a spot for farmer's to gather and play cards when it rains (and sometimes when it doesn't) and drink coffee in the morning, then quick dinners at noon (note: in this area "dinner" is at Noon, and "supper" is in the evening). It's the only place you can eat in town so you can't be too picky. They have a nice menu of lunch and dinner items, most of it fried or meat of some kind, but a few salads and other things. Frankly the quality of the food mirrors who's cooking at the time, sometimes excellent, sometimes not-so-much-so, but usually pretty good. I think they have a Mexican food night too, and usually a daily special. But it's mostly a bar, even with a little "off-sale" section in the back to buy beer or liquor to go. In the evenings it's again a gathering place for locals, this time primarily to eat, drink, and socialize. While the patrons during the day are mostly older, the younger crowd can come out at night...sometimes. Regardless you may get some long looks when you enter and are unfamiliar, but everyone is always friendly and accommodating when we've visited (having six local brother-in-laws in the early days helped me assimilate a bit but I digress...). It doesn't cost a lot to eat or drink here. You can have dinner for two (sorry - Supper) plus a couple of drinks each for about $30. And if you make some new friends (and you will) you'll probably find you won't owe anything for drinks at the end of the night. It's not the fanciest place around, but it's homey, fun, small town America at it's best, and worth it just to check it out.

Jessica and Adam made us feel right at home!…read more On our drive to get a new puppy we decided to stop into the pretty little town of McCook, Nebraska and found this great spot tucked away just off the main strip. I can't emphasize enough how delicious the breakfast hash is! I ordered a side of chili which added a really nice kick of spice, hard and sharp on the nose with no lingering heat or after-taste. I highly recommend it! Most importantly to me are the people and Jessica and Adam truly take the cake. You should expect warm smiles, helpful staff, and an owner who places the emphasis on his team and customers. Man I hope to visit y'all again! Hooyah, farewell and fair winds until we meet again :)

Stopped in for lunch while passing through. I had honey salmon salad 1/2 portion. It was very good…read more I loved the salad but the bowl was hard to eat out of. I suggest a bigger bowl. My husband had BLT and it was very good also. We shared an order of onion rings which were the best I've ever had. All was GREAT Lisa was a great server. The best. I recommend this place.

Who would've thought a place this good is in Sacramento Nebraska: population three. I had the chicken fried steak. It was the best I've had in many years.

Great ambiance. Sweet little place on the middle of nowhere…read more Service was okay, but we waited twenty minutes for our check after we got our take away container. They seem very understaffed. Musscles were excellent. Mozzarella croquettes were good. They were out of two big menu items at opening on Saturday, that was disappointing. Prime rib is EXTREMELY smokey, and can't be served rarer than medium rare. New York strip was ordered medium rare, but arrived at table medium to medium well. I'm sure it was cooked properly at first and sat under the warmer- there is no way a chef would overcook a steak like that. All in all, for 200+ bucks it was pretty underwhelming.

It's always a very clean place and the bathrooms don't smell like some dive bar. I always welcome the stop because it's nice and cool inside a great place to get out of a 100-degree day.

Jesus behind the bar doing what he does pouring up and mixing drinks meanwhile there's people playing billiards & just kicking it. Jesus let me know that Gillies is the only bar that has Tequila, I'm a tequila drinker and so it was just made to be.
