They go out of their way to find something that will work for you to drink and they're always there before your glass goes empty. If you're going in thinking that the decor is fancy, then this isn't the place for you. If you're coming for great food and friendly people than you arrived at your destination. My wife ordered the ribeye which was cooked to absolute perfection and the other three of us ordered the prime rib. What made their prime rib so much different is that it wasn't over seasoned and subpar quality. They let the meat speak for itself and it was tender and unforgettable. Hildreth is a little bit out of the way, but it's definitely worth stopping in.

They have a special every evening. We have been their for Burger Night on Friday and had great burgers. All their meat is local USDA Choice. Last Saturday got there for the prime rib and rib eye steak special. Had them both and they were done perfectly and the beef was tender. The "cheesy potatoes" were homemade and excellent. Service is good and the owner and staff are friendly. Bring Cash....no credit cards here. They do have an ATM in case you forget. The place isn't fancy....just an old time country bar with an assortment of different tables. The kitchen area appears clean. It would be nice if they could put in some new modern restrooms.

Always looking for local, we found McKinney's Pub on 3rd West in downtown Grand Island…read more Looking like most of the smaller Irish pubs I've been in, in the Midwest, theirs an immediate comfort as soon as you walk into the door. Green walls, dark wood and brass foot rails. I, of course, started off with a Guinness, which was perfectly poured and my wife a Diet Coke. The staff is relaxed and friendly, giving us plenty of time to look over a fairly extensive menu. My wife decided on the Buffalo Chicken wrap, and I went all in on the Peanut butter burger. My wife really liked her wrap, lots of contrasting goodies to complement the chicken with had some bite but wasn't too spicy. If you're going to tray a peanut butter burger, you need to like peanut butter- it gives the burger a different taste. Served with a mandarin chutney on a tasty bun, I found myself liking it more and more as I enjoyed it. We were offered desserts, but declined as we were absolutely stuffed. Oh, how could I forget to mention the curled chip!!!!nothing short of awesome! Think of a curly cue fry combined with a steak fry. Really, really great!

Typical kids menu foods done well. Salads were nice. Bread rolls with cinnamon butter a real treat. So much to choose from... I had the shepherd's pie with champ on top... Best I've had in awhile. Really hot and took a while to finish. I tried the fun curled chips and they were lightly seasoned... My wife would have preferred them a little crisper but they were perfect for me and they had malt vinegar on the table... Delicious. The decor was perfect and bathrooms clean. I'd come back here in a flash. The staff was friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome.

Lost Way Brewery is a fun and friendly brew pub in Holdrege, Nebraska. We received an overview of…read morethe offerings upon entering and our credit card was swiped to start a tab. We opted for the $11 flight and received a healthy sized glass of each of the eight offerings. I enjoyed the Strawberry Melon Wheat and my husband liked the Loop Valley Lager and PB Porter. The flight was an economical way to sample the brews. A BBQ Food truck was parked out front and it was doing a brisk business with bar patrons. Our pork bbq nachos were a great compliment to our brew flight. We enjoyed our stop in Holdrege.

It was mom's night out during our week long vacation. Between 3 dads and 5 kids, ranging from 4 to…read more7, we ventured across the street from the Marriott over to Craft Pub. Looking at a number of restaurants they belong to a family of restaurants that we have poured quite a bit of money into while staying in the Caymans (Mizu, Pani, etc.) but it's well deserved with the clean atmosphere that they provide. The service was great and amenable to our unique needs for the night. They sat us behind the bar on a long stretch of bench seats and pushed the tables together. There was an extensive selection of options of comfort bar food to choose from, burgers, steak, salmon. And as advertised they had an extensive drink menu. That night they also had a special raw bar option. I chose the bacon meatloaf. It was served on a small cutting board on top of healthy portion of mash potatoes with a side of kale. EVerything was excellent. The waitress was very friendly and joked around with the kids. Overall, it was a good experience for us dads thanks to the staff for helping out!

At least three of the 10 boneless wings were dangerously undercooked, which makes no sense as the other 7 were fine. The appetizers were good, though. The diet coke was flat as well. The appetizers save the place from a one star review, but I will not be returning.

Cunningham's on the Lake We're visiting family friends who…read morelove this place, so we were excited to try it. Visually, it's a great spot--beautiful inside and out, an amazing patio, lots of TVs, and an impressive bar with 48 beers on tap plus beer flights. Unfortunately, during our visit, both the food and service fell short. We started with the pork belly bites. They were okay, but the texture wasn't what we're used to--we typically prefer them cooked a bit more. We also ordered the crab cakes, which came as three large pieces on a bed of lettuce (basically a big house salad). After a few bites, we realized they were ice cold. We let the bartender know and they were sent back, but they came out ice cold again. To their credit, they removed the item from our bill, which we appreciated. We then ordered a burger. The patty was very thick and had potential, but the fries were ice cold. Service slowed at this point--it took a long time to get ketchup or any follow-up. We noticed staff eating in a booth behind us while two employees behind the bar appeared busy, which was disappointing. The beer selection is excellent, but my Dirty Shirley tasted off. I switched to a Tito's and Sprite, but it still didn't taste right--likely flat soda that hadn't been changed. Overall, the patio and beer selection are highlights, but the execution on food and service missed the mark on this visit. Based on this experience, I'd give it 2 stars. Glad I didn't order the steak, as I think I would have been disappointed. -- Foodie99

Worst experience I've had. I traveled from out of state to…read morevisit Kearney as a potential place to relocate and decided to dine at this restaurant during my stay. Unfortunately, that decision turned into a very negative experience. Our server was initially pleasant, but that quickly changed. After paying my tab using my phone, I placed it on the table while continuing to play billiards. When I returned, my phone was gone. Using Find My iPhone, I could see that the device was still located inside the restaurant. I asked the server if she had seen my phone, but she denied any knowledge of it and stated that no one had found a phone--despite the tracker clearly indicating it was there. The following day, I returned in hopes that someone had turned it in. When I approached the same server, she appeared extremely nervous, repeatedly using profanity and running into the kitchen before returning and attempting to change the subject. When I again asked about my phone, I received the same denial. I ultimately left feeling defeated. As a solo traveler, losing my phone caused significant stress--I was unable to access flight information, order transportation, or contact family. All of this occurred over a cracked iPhone that is unusable once reported lost or stolen. Overall, this experience was extremely disappointing and left a very poor impression.
