To continue my day visiting Peru, NE, if you haven't read my review on Cotty's Place...let me put…read moreyou up to speed.... Yes, I went to Peru, NE...here is the story...I was born in Lima, Peru (South America) and a documentary was filmed in Peru, Nebraska last year in order to promote Peru as a brand where all sales will go back to the country, not individuals. Here is the link from YouTube video filmed http://youtu.be/nFtmSE... To make the story short, I traveled to Kansas City, Mo to meet LG and we drove under 2hrs to Peru, Nebraska. You should had seen me taking so manny pictures, super excited, until I was called "Japanese Tourist!!! I wanted it all, the sights, the signs to Peru, NE, the people...Fellow Peruvians!!! So, after our super-long lunch at Cotty's place (3+hrs) we crossed the street into Shooter's Bar. What an awesome crowd, hugeeee....considering it was Peru State University's graduation day party...So we came in and spotted Logan right away (He was featured on the video, and is an AMAZING SINGER...check him out on Itunes Logan Merz!!) ...so we met him, his girlfriend, the bartenders, the owner, the residents of Peru...they all welcomed us with hugs and smiles. We shared some of my Peruvian hot sauce and brought another bottle of Pisco. The ambiance was great! The music was a mix of alternative rock and upbeat tunes, not country music as they featured on the video. We met so many people and we had an absolute awesome time. As we were hanging with the locals...Peruvians just like us, we moved to the patio and it has a ledge that overlooks the main street....yup...we were the cool kids! Many, many pictures later...LG had enough of the Free Beers and I was the DD...We left at midnight. Shooter's also had a wall displaying Dina Paucar's poster from the video. We had such a great time, we returned the next day. we played foosball, had another drink, Michael was bartending, and we continue meeting the locals. We left considering coming back to Peru, NE. The people makes the town amazing and definitely never knew Peruvians were so cool! Before leaving LG added a small piece of black tape we bought at the convenience store and added the TILDE over the word PERU. Amazing times, great bar, awesome warm people. Thank you all!

Shooters is great. Having spent an entire summer living in Brownville NE after coming from several…read moremuch bigger cities, myself and my company members always had a blast at Shooter's.

We were seated immediately and the waitress let us know she was serving the whole restaurant herself, so to be patient.

The food was delicious and a few of us agreed it was the best burger we had had in a very long time. Will return!

This restaurant is a real gem. I am thrilled that my sister recommended we stop here for lunch…read moreyesterday. The greeting was warm and friendly from Robyn our server. The soup yesterday was a (sweet potato chowder) with big chunks of perfectly cooked sweet potato surrounded by home grown sweet corn, celery and sausage. It was fantastic. I had the chicken salad sandwich, my wife and very nice salad and my sister had the Thai wrap. All were amazing,. This wonderful spot has incredible desserts as well with very generous portions. The carrot cake and homemade vanilla ice cream was off the charts. Easy street parking make it easy and very much worth driving 50 miles to experience. We will plan on coming through Nebraska City at lunch time so that we can return soon I hope.

A local bar and grill we have never been to until now!!…read more Pros: the food is really good! We had the Pigs Wings (pork shanks) with peach bourbon sauce- fantastic!! Better than chicken wings. My wife and I always disagree on bone vs boneless chicken wings - this satisfies us both- plus, did I mention they are delicious? !‽ They have a decent menu selection of pub grub and sandwiches. First time I've seen a pastrami sandwich on a menu in Southwest Iowa (looking at you, everyone who has a Reuben but not Pastrami on your menus) Cris has a Porchetta Wrap which was very flavorful! The ambiance is was good, hopping for a Wednesday night. Decent TV selection. And you can reach 4 Pokestops from here. The service is excellent. The food is excellent. The tap beer is Cold. The Cons: Limited "on tap" selections. But at least they have Blue Moon along side your typical basic beers. All the chairs/tables are medium tall. Would be hard for someone bigger (like me) older or in a wheelchair to be comfortable for very long. Will definitely be back often and very soon!

Would have liked a little more sauce as it was a little dry in places. The Chef Salad was so good. Again he needed more salad dressing. Good friendly servers. We will be back again and again. Good place to be able to see some tv and locals come eat at their fav diner. They also have a lot of history of the floods in the region on the walls to give some culture. Quiet last night

The kind of spot where the coffee's always hot, the pie tastes homemade, and the waitresses call you "honey" without thinking twice. I had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and it was exactly what I needed after a long drive. The apple pie? Golden, flaky, and served warm--just like the photo promised. If you're looking for a genuine, no-frills diner with a little soul and a lot of flavor, Apple Barrel delivers in spades.
