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.

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.

The salads were nice, good homemade dressing and they serve lovely bread and butter-I'd give those a Nebraska 4-4.5. The truffle potatoes were super dry, tasted nothing like truffle and almost impossible to swallow without a swig of water in your mouth. The prime rib was smoked so long there was almost no flavor except smoke. Perhaps some people like that but I just felt like I was getting colon cancer with every bite, plus they were full of fat too. I'd say at least 1/3 of the meat was fat in everybody's and you saw lots of picking and spitting. That makes a meal really annoying and a bit embarrassing. The baked potatoes were ok. Nothing to write home to mom about. The cocktails were ok, standard and a very light pour. Nothing fancy, no big ice cubes (lots of little melting ones making it hard to drink the cocktail) or higher quality garnish which one might expect for the price. Decent wine list. The environment is fine. It appeared clean in the restaurant, the bathroom and outside. Love the lower level lighting and tablecloths. Be careful walking in the second front door, there's a pretty big slope down. Fun history and very genuine, friendly, informative wait staff. Small town feel and quite busy. You can tell folks in the area love it.

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.
