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!

Don't be in any hurry! I sat down at a table and waited...waited...waited...After fifteen minutes and not even being given a menu I got up and left. They were busy but with only one guy taking care of all the tables I may not have the time it requires to "dine" there. I don't know if they can't get the help needed or they just operate that lean. I have heard about a number of employers in this corner of Kansas that want to hire people but can't find applicants for the open positions. However, I don't have the luxury of a two + hour lunch. I wanted to give them a try but will continue going elsewhere. Subway, Pizza Hut and a Mexican restaurant (that's pretty good by the way!) are within blocks.

I grew up eating here and have great memories of the place. It's been a few years so I was excited…read moreto have a chance to stop in for breakfast while passing through town this morning. The place is exactly how I remember it. Small town hole in the wall charm upfront, dated attempt at upscale in back. Like a reverse mullet. But in a charming way. The waitress was friendly and she kept the coffee coming. The coffee was excellent and the best part of the meal. I got the chicken fried steak and eggs. They had brown gravy on request which is always a big plus in my book. (White gravy is just sausage stuck in flour paste in my book, but that might just be me) The eggs and toast were cooked perfectly and delicious. But the steak sadly was well overdone and the breaking burned black. As a result it was dry as can be and had a bitter burned taste. The gravy helped but we were 2 steps from cremation so not enough. The people I was with got an excellent omelette and a single pancake that was as big as a dinner plate. All great food on their report. I would go back in a heartbeat. Not going to hold 1 bad item against them. Plus for me the nostalgia was off the charts.
