We were in luck because 88 year old Gus (the 2nd generation owner) was there when we arrived, as was his son (3rd generation), who runs the place. When he heard we had come from N. J., Gus regaled us with stories of his time in the Army (1948 Ft. Dix, N. J.) and adventures in & around the N. Y. C. area. We then heard some very interesting, humorous stories about Grand Island. The gals who served us could not have been nicer & it really was like we were visiting. Oh yeah...THE FOOD....The Coney Dogs & Black and White malted were just great.

This joint may just be my favorite place to eat in Hastings so far. We were warmly greeted and…read moreseated. There weren't many people when we arrived. It feels like an older family run place. Warm and friendly.They have a decent drink selection and that made me happy right away. I ordered a draft beer, an IPA that was local to Nebraska. The menu has something for everyone, I started with the deviled eggs and they were amazing, just like Ma used to make except better they had little pieces of crispy bacon on them. Brilliant. I chose the Ribeye, Rare. I also went with a loaded baked potato. My meal arrived pretty quick and I was glad to see a piece of garlic toast. The steak was perfectly prepared, the potato was indeed loaded. I would recommend the ribeye to everyone. Our server could not have been better, she knew the menu well. Like I mentioned, the drink selection was nice. Settled for the Blanton's and an Eagle Rare to top of the night. Then the server brought up desert, oh Brother. Just what I needed. LOL, I chose the Raspberry Lemon Drop Cake. WOW WOW WOW it was delicious. I look forward to visiting the Barrel Bar again.

We both got speciality drinks she got the Bloody Mary and I got a legendary lemonade. Its always more than you can eat in one sitting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Well tried it one last time, notice the word last. Service was horrible, took our order after we…read moresat for 30 minutes, tried the online order, was confusing and couldnt find any beers to order, had the Tyson burger, micro thin dried out hamburger patty, little to no sauce, cold soggy sourdough bread. Onion straws were burnt to dark brown-to black. The order should never been delivered to a customer. Never saw wait staff until she wanted to close the check. Told her politely about the onion straws and the un-eaten burger. She apologized and said would " discount" the order. Apparently I got a dollar discount, she should have kept the dollar because they will not be getting any business from us.

Pretty expensive for some simple pretzels and drinks. They're good but boy do some of the workers…read morehate their lives and every breathing moment at the Pretzel Maker. Nearly every worker their is always super nasty, crabby, and full of attitude. Girl who took my order today did so while she was on the phone. When her sweet coworker corrected her, she just gave her attitude and continued to get our order wrong. While making out pretzels, she just tossed it like she the pretzels cheated with her boyfriend and flailed it into its packaging as it dropped with oil onto the counter. Man. Smoothie still good though.

Odd time to suddenly close shop. Looked on their website and it said they're open until 7. Guess they just wanted to get out a little early to hang with their boyfriends? Ran across the street and got food elsewhere. Kinda shady.

The food here is awesome just like the rest of the sonic's out there. but I have one issue that…read morebugs me about this one and yes it seams to be a time and time again issue of other sonic's as well; Is the preparation of onions both next to the meat, in the fryer as well as the bun. Myself being a grill and fry cook "back in the day" we always made sure to fry onions in a separate fryer as well as keeping them away from the rest of the food. "onion flavor" has a way of seeping into anything you order here at this sonic especially. and tbh, onions are NASTY. It is especially important to keep this out of your food unless specifically requested as 30% of your customer base does NOT prefer the flavor of onion. This isn't just a one time incident, it's consistent and across the board, Why do I still eat here? well when they DO keep the onion flavor out of the food it is really awesome food. Btw their parking lot music system is very loud and annoying.
