DO NOT EAT HERE. Food was average and the treatment was definitely different if you not from Burwell.

Local beers as well as your old favorites available to cash and carry, plus they've got a great food menu! We tried an outstanding Denver omelette with all the fixings, and some perfectly crisp hash browns. The real surprise though was a killer homemade Bloody Mary complete with pickled Asparagus, pickle spear, and jalapeño stuffed olive! The husband and wife team that run the place are friendly and keep a nice clean quaint spot! Stop in for all of your lake needs! They also advertise a happy hour that I can't wait to stop in for soon!

The only thing I wouldn't recommend were the biscuits and gravy. There was virtually no protein; it was all gravy (well, there was a few pieces of sausage in it). I would have expected a thicker gravy with a lot more meat and/or egg mixed in it. Overall, it is worth the stop because it is a place to get some good food with a smile and some friendly chatter. (Also, has some good to go supplies if you needing anything you had forgotten while camping at Calamus)

I was biking on the Cowboy Trail in Nebraska and this place is an oasis along the lonely trail and…read morehighway. Sometimes when you go to a small town bar or restaurant decked out in spandex with a biking helmet in hand, the locals look at you funny. Not this crowd (crowd of 6, I might add). They turned and looked and all said hello. We bellied up to the bar and a regular ended up putting our drinks on his tab. The bartender is busy but friendly. We had already eaten, but would have enjoyed the food they offer. For cyclists on the trail, this place has what you need. Air conditioning. A place to rest, a clean bathroom, and food to recharge. So glad we stumbled across this place!

Our family made the trek up here for prime rib, claiming it's the best in Nebraska. The restaurant…read moreis in an old building with the charm of the old West. Our server was friendly and efficient. Several people got the prime rib and were not disappointed with the taste, although commented that the size of the cut seems to have gotten smaller through the years. I ordered the grilled salmon and it was good. The sides were mostly fried items, so I wish they had a few healthier options. The meals came with salad and garlic toast. The salad was basic and on the small side, but was fresh.

Jesus let me know that Gillies is the only bar that has Tequila, I'm a tequila drinker and so it was just made to be.

The smoked pork burrito is massive, could feed three people, and is very delicious. Get the pork burrito, even if your judgement says otherwise. Split it with someone!

Nice blend of topping on the burger that went well together. So many textures and flavors that went well together. Had the fries that were crisp, hot,and seasoned with salt. Just the way I like my fries. Also splurged on the salad bar, everyth was home made and from scratch. Non of that out of the card board carton that you often see. Service was great, my water glass was always topped off. Was asked several times through the meal if I needed anything. For those of you that want a cheap meal why don't you go to McDonald''s. To tell the truth they are not all that cheap, but you would probably be satisfied there with their prices and atmospher. Sounds like It's what you probably like to compare restaurants service and food to. Had to be critical, but sounds like you want every thing for a dime.
