We have been by here several times but today is our first in. Lunch testing. Have heard all good…read moreabout this. They do handmade chicken fried steaks in evening but frozen ones at lunch. So will try the evening menu another time. Salad bar is good, nothing exotic. Burger for myself with some special parts going in. Jalapeños, blue cheese. no eggs available. Hot water drinks. Is cold day! Maybe cottage fries I got. Exceptional good. Reminds me of homemade potato chips my grandmother Irma made. Very similar. Really good burger. Sure one of better I have had. Salad bar is ok. Just old school, with quite a few options.

Honestly extremely disappointed. We went in and were immediately greeted and told to choose where…read morewe'd like to sit. Very nice! When we sat down the service was a bit flakey, but I digress-- when we had sat down and decided what to order nothing was said to us regarding our choices. It's important to note my father got the new york steak and I got the filet mignon. On the menu the there was a note saying to ask about current prime rib and ribeye prices-- nothing about the other cuts. However, when it was time to pay, my father noticed that the price was different from the menu! So, naturally, my father mentioned the price difference and the waitress tried to say that it was on the menu-- no, we specifically looked at what was on the menu and didn't get the specifically mentioned cuts. When we told her that it in fact wasn't on the menu, she pointed out that there was a sign by the door. Which, remember, we didn't even have time to notice and she didn't say anything when we ordered the food. Not to mention, I didn't think of it at the time, but I should have asked for a refund or something else because my filet mignon was bad-- and my sister's burger was mediocre, just to mention. I got it specifically because it's supposed to be tender and a better cut, but it was hard to cut and while I ordered a medium, it was more cooked than my father's medium well. While my father enjoyed his steak he tried mine and agreed that it was pretty flavorless and the charr was oddly overpowering. Overall while the waitress was nice and took off our drinks to try and make it right (despite it only really making up for mine and not both) the menu was outdated and the food was not very good. Will not be returning and it was very disappointing for $100.

I drove in from Grand Island just to check this place out. It is in what appears to be an old…read moredowntown building. Old storefront right on the street. Parking is downtown diagonal street parking. The inside is decorated nicely. Old brick and wood feel with a cool bar towards the front . The partially open kitchen fills the back of the long narrow restaurant. The service was great. Someone from the kitchen brought out each plate. The Old Fashioned was decent, but it did lack the single cube that takes the cocktail to the next level. The small wedge salad was plenty and it was amazing. The Chicken and pasta dish was amazing. Great flavor. The chicken and pasta were both cooked perfectly. I loved everything about this place. That craft cocktail would take you to perfect. Thanks. I enjoyed it.

I think the steak pasta was good but I am glad I got the blue cheese crumbles on the side. The mocktails were delicious. The caramel cheesecake was a 10/10. Overall it's a nice fancy restaurant for Nebraska. I will definitely be getting the bacon wrapped shrimp and the cheesecake again.

Today's buffet was pork tenderloins. Huge portions! Salad bar had a large variety of choices; broccoli salad, corn dish, I think there was a pasta salad, as well as regular salad bar fare; lettuce, cheese, bacon bits, etc. the buffet also had potatoes and green beans. Server brought cheesecake to all the tables. My dinner partner said he'd like to move closer so we could eat there more often. This is definitely a hidden gem off the beaten path worth the drive.

I always take advantage of that by trying out the local fare. This place was special and deserves all the stars! It is at the corner of 3 or 4 farm roads kind of in the middle of nowhere. You walk through a series of doors before entering the hostess area. It was dim lit as you would expect a speakeasy to be and I was greeted immediately. I was by myself and the bar was open so that's where I went. It was busy and had I been with more people we would have needed a reservation.. it was pretty busy. I ordered the house special drink which was a dirty martini with blue cheese olives and it was perfect. I then ordered the 9oz sirloin which you can have it with just the normal seasoning or they have a list of ways you can get it like Oscar, béarnaise.. etc. I got it with a red wine mushroom reduction and it also comes with a salad and 1 side. All the dressings are house made and I picked mashed potatoes and brown gravy. The steak was cooked just the way I asked which was medium rare, it was juicy, seasoned well and the red wine reduction just added to the deliciousness. The mashed potatoes were buttery, soft, light and airy and the brown gravy wasn't overly salty and was perfect! I would love to bring my wife to this place if I'm ever in that area. I might even take a trip just to go to that place!

First of all our service was excellent. My husband had prime rib which he ordered medium rare and…read moreit was definitely cooked medium, no rare to it, he said it was okay but he's had much better. I had a bacon wrapped filet that was supposed to be med. rare, but again it was overdone, but the flavor was okay. I could not tell that there was really any bacon around it as it was burnt. I ordered a loaded baked potato for $2 extra but that was a joke. My husband's regular baked potato had more sour cream on it than mine and the bacon, sour cream and cheese was skimpy at best, plus it was dry underneath that little bit of topping. The prices were overly high, and I know beef is high, but you can go to a well known chain steakhouse and get a more reasonable and better steak experience than here. The drinks were very high priced also. We had dessert after our meal and it was very good. Only reason we ate here to begin with was we were given a gift certificate to this place. We raise cattle and so we know good steaks and this is not a place we would go to again.

Recently I'd been taking some day trips here in central KS and I decided that my route would take me past Simpson and so I checked to see if they were still open and they were, so I had to stop in. Got the chicken fried steak and even though it wasn't as big as some other reviews had said it was big enough, fries were good and cream corn was great too for the second side. If you are ever passing by, don't let the off the beaten path thing get you, this is worth it.
