    GET IN YOUR CAR AND DRIVE TO DODGE, NE. Now. OMG. It's a bit longer than an hour from Omaha and this treasure, tucked away in wee Dodge, NE is a magical place. Eat Restaurant was created in the old bank space -- complete with a small dining area for couples or perhaps four in the vault! Beautifully decorated and perfectly appointed, this spot is a must for your Bucket List. Chef Michael's lunch for us (we asked him to make whatever he thought we should try on our first trek to Eat) were a PERFECTLY grilled cheeseburger and parmesan fries for me and a "griddled" club for my friend. No common Club sandwich here, my friends -- real meats and all of them griddled before building the sandwich. Oh my! Dessert was a German Chocolate cake/ice cream, who could have asked for more? Make no mistake - this is no everyday small town eatery. :-)

    Pork Tenderloin and Bratwurst with Dodge grown corn and potato cakes

    Incredible entrees personally crafted by chef Michael Glissman and sous chef Lin Schwanebeck. Quaint might be the best way to describe Eat! The restaurant itself is located in the old bank of small town Dodge, NE. It has a cozy ambiance and a great staff. It's worth the drive for some fresh and often locally sourced food that does not fail to utterly impress! This establishment is a tremendous find off of the beaten path!

    Great food at an unbelievably low price. Friendly people and a great interior. Such a gem, will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

    Melt in your mouth Prime rib

    Came here with a group. Very intimate dinner and the food was amazing. I had the prime rib, friends had the special which was Duck. Food was spectacular. Prime was "melt in your mouth" good and cooked to perfection. Nephew had the chicken fried steak platter and was more than an 15 year old could eat. We got two of the desserts to share. Wish we would have gotten all of them. If you are in the area, stop in and experience some great food.

    THIS PLACE HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR YEARS! It was a not a good place at all. Menu was very limited; salt was their main seasoning.

    Best food in 50 mile surrounding area. Quaint with historical decor. Attention to detail. Excellent menu. Worth a visit to Dodge!

    Does this place still have the rabbit and quail?

    Our menu changes often. We currently are not offering Rabbit or Quail. We do have Duck & Lamb available.

    ROUTE 77 , formerly Red Rooster, in Ceresco. Holy cow! I walked in but now after eating I need a…read morewheelchair! Where do I start... we ordered the Rueben dip as an appetizer and let me tell you. Chunks of corned beef mixed with deliciousness in every bite! Wowza! Even the table next to us heard us and ordered it! Loved it too! Then my hubbs ordered the Corned beef and Cabbage. Beautifully plated and they are not stingy! I ordered the Roast beef and I think I had a half a cow! And the flavors were explosive and it's not even the Fourth! Then we Had to get the cake-Guinness Chocolate Cake w/ Bailey's Irish Cream Frosting! It's a dense, semi sweet, not too much frosting indulgence of a cake. I recommend you wear your "fat pants". Just saying! #delicious

    Red Rooster was one of our favorite restaurants so we decided to give the new owners and Route 77 a…read moretry. Red Rooster was rated by Yelp a year ago as having the best fried chicken in Nebraska. It was really that good! So I thought the best test of the new restaurant would be the fried chicken. I ordered the 4 piece with mashed potatoes and white gravy. Unfortunately it was disappointing. The breading was off and it was way too salty. On this night it was NOT the best fried chicken in Nebraska. The homemade white gravy was over-salted and tasted out of a jar, unlike the delicious homemade gravy Ron made when it was Red Rooster. Two people at our table said the same about the meatloaf and dark gravy. The gravy was also over-salted and it didn't taste homemade. Service was unusually clunky and we only saw one regular server. Everyone else was new. The decor in the Restaurant was different too. Not bad but just different. I'm hoping this was a one off experience because we really liked the Red Rooster. I'm not sure why the new owners of Route 77 made so many changes to a successful restaurant that was already working well. I hope they figure it out. Last night it was not worth the trip from Lincoln to Ceresco.
