I heard that this place was always busy and that a lot of peeps liked the breakfast. So we decided to stop in for breakfast before our Scottsbluff shopping trip. The waitress was really sweet, but unfortunately I wasn't a fan of the food. I ordered a sausage & cheese omelet, hubby had the biscuits & gravy, and my brother in law had the garlic sausage and eggs and we shared a pancake. I was a little disappointed in the packets of dry non dairy creamer on the table. Not how I prefer to have my coffee, but I still used them. The sausage in my omelet was really good, but that was about it. The hash browns were a little greasy and had no flavor to them at all. I wasn't a fan of hubby's dish either, the biscuits were a little plain jane as was the gravy. The garlic sausage was ok. It had flavor, but I've had better. I was super excited when our sweet waitress put the pancake on the table. It was thick and looked so delicious. But again, no flavor at all. The syrup didn't help either. No maple taste to it whatsoever. I don't think I'll come back anytime soon. read more

Maybe it's nostalgia, but coming back after 20 years it was exactly what I expected! Food was hot and fresh seasoned well. Service was great. The decor was exactly what I remembered. Don't forget to get a piece of pie! read more

We stopped in after visiting Scottsbluff National Monument, and we are very glad we did. Great food French Dip sandwich, homemade bread, and soup (broccoli cheese) as well as best bacon cheeseburger ever (according to our 12 year old). If we were to ever be in the area again would go back. Great prices for what you get. Salad bar currently out of commission due to Covid-19. Serves Pepsi products. read more

We ordered a bacon burger $12.95 A cheese bacon burger $13.70. 2 drinks $5.00. These drinks were kids size glasses. No refills for us and they cost that. The burger was a patty shaped like Wendy's. It didn't have a taste. The bacon was really good. The onion rings were really good. Like the ones sonic used to serve. It was right at $35 on my card plus a tip. There is a 3.75% fee if you do not pay with cash. I just expected a homemade patty from a home cooking restaurant. For the price it should be fresh. read more

After a long day of driving we stopped here for lunch based on the reviews. Bottom line: Food was delicious and plentiful, atmosphere great, prices reasonable....but they charge a 3.8% surcharge if you pay by credit card (and this is not mentioned anywhere except on your receipt). I was in the mood for a good burger and Log Cabin did not disappoint me. Large sesame bun, a hefty beef patty (not skimpy - I'm guessing a 1/3 pounder), two strips of excellent bacon, tomato, lettuce, pickle - it was wonderful. To go with that, I got the onion rings - boy did I get onion rings - not a skimpy 3 or 4 microscopic rings but a good 10 large and delicious rings - maybe ranking along with the best I've ever had. Wife was delighted with her burger (similar to mine) and her french fries (very plentiful). Son got a denver sandwich which he enjoyed quite a bit. So the food was perfect for this type of restaurant. Location is right off the main street - very easy to find - GPS takes you right to the spot. Inside are many booths (from 2 person booths to 4 person booths) and tables (mostly placed together for larger groups). All in all, comfortable. Price was reasonable for this quality level of food. My only grips was them charging an extra 3.8% if you pay by credit card and not telling you about that up front. read more

I came here while visiting from out of state and ordered their chicken fried steak per recommendation from the locals. It was literally ground hamburger that was fried and undercooked to the point of being raw in the center. I kindly asked for a to-go box so I could leave on a kind note, but not risk another bite. I woke up next morning with the worst stomach ache. The small town, family owned aura was sweet, but I would 100% never return due to concern for both my, and everyone's else's, health. read more

We stopped in here for dinner after a long day of roadtripping. The waitress was patient and friendly even though it was just before closing. We ended up splitting a club sandwich and I also had a cup of chicken noodle soup. There were a few annoying flies that kept coming back to our table, and the dining area was a bit messy (as to be expected at the end of the evening). However, for sit-down dining later in the evening, this was probably our best bet (and was right across from the hotel). read more

Log Cabin Restaurant & Lounge - Bacon cheeseburger with onion rings - New American Near Me - Gering, Nebraska

Nice little diner/lounge thats a perfect stop for the Scotts Bluff Monument. My buddy and I did 3 miles at the Agate Fossil Beds and took the 1 hr drive, so we were hungry. We were looking at another 3 mile hike at the bluff, so this was the spot. Looking at the menu we wanted the larger burger called the Monument Burger. Thinking maybe it was a 1/2 lb or so. When it came out, I was taken aback. It was about a 2 lb burger with 4 slices of tomato, cheese, lettuce, at least half an onion and a huge bun that was wrinkling due to the stress of it's size. Trying to eat it with our hands, got us nowhere, we went the knife and fork route. It's a chop burger, so it also has onions mixed in. Normally I don't like that, but I was so hungry and the burger was delicious. Stop in. read more

I went to this place this morning with my parents and there breakfast was delicious. The only thing I wouldn't eat from there is the sausage because it was greasy at the point where the grease made my stomach not feel right but otherwise it was good. read more

Dinner was overcooked to the point of being inedible. The pork chops and ground beef were so hard we couldn't cut them. The salad bar was full of 1950s marshmellow salads in assorted colors. The cucumbers, tomatoes, green pepper and something else we thought might be celery were in some sort of slimy mixture. The mashed potatoes were cold, lumpy and hard. The hash browns were fried extra crispy and impalatable. read more

Went in for breakfast and was treated terribly. we didn't even sit down but we're treated with "can't you see we don't have enough room. We are filled to the brim." This was said by the hostess in such a nasty tone. The waitress was friendly and said we could wait but we decided not to solely on the hostess. She was rude and doesn't know customer service. Stick to Perkins, they are always friendly. read more

In a land where ma and pa family restaurants are fewer and far between, The Log Cabin shines bright. Great food and great portions that are not mass produced by a massive corporate chain is the draw here. I mainly hit here for breakfast but the lunches and dinners are great as well. If you looking for down home goodness...this is a great stop in the Scottsbluff/Gering area. read more

Just a cafe, nothing special. I brought friends here based on its food Yelp rating and was confused afterward. Food was ok, but everything seemed right out of 1980. I think they have a lot of regulars who want normal cafe food, but when I go out to eat I want to see interesting things on the menu. Service was not great. read more

First timer and will definitely be back. Decor is awesome diner flare. Atmosphere is also great. Today's special was BBQ beef sandwich, and /salad bar for under $8. Beef sandwich was great and the mound of fries couldn't be finished. My waitress was ridiculously friendly! Always responding to my thank you'd with you're so welcome. A great dining experience for sure. read more

Really enjoyed breakfast. Great hometown service. Large portions and great coffee. Parking was difficult with my camper attached to my pickup. But it was worth finding this hidden restaurant. read more

No grills greasy spoon dive. Very small with a ton of locals. Kid enjoyed his bacon cheese burger and my open faced meatloaf sandwich was tasty. Not a ton of options but it was good. If I was passing by I would stop again. read more

So a coffee latte place in adjoining Scottsbluff advising my request for handmade food breakfast and said this the place. Looks the part. Beautiful cinnamon roll coming soon and garlic sausage, over medium eggs, and burned hash browns. Cinnamon roll is real good but needs more brown sugar butter candy to make ii a best of. Nice service from lovely lady. So the garlic sausage...actually no specific flavor of any kind. And only one bite decided that. Eggs and hash browns were good. read more

Very good home cooked food. I had the roast beef lunch special. The salad bar had lots of different home made salads, all very good.

We're from out of town but staying here for a week. Stopped in for an early supper yesterday afternoon and was greeted by a nice lady, our waitress, who suggested we sit anywhere we like and then came over and gave us menus and took our drink order. We had country fried steak which was just okay, certainly nothing to come back for. Only one other table was occupied while we were there and they finished and had left before we received our bill. Three other people were sitting at the counter who I believe were employees, it certainly wasn't busy. When we finished I asked our waitress for our bill which she brought to us and we struck up a casual conversation with her. Within 60 seconds one of the women ( turned out to be the owner) at the counter yelled at our waitress, what are you doing? Our waitress responded that we were paying our bill and the owner yelled, take their money (our's) and come get this man, sitting at the counter, some soup, I know the man wasn't sitting there when I asked for our bill so the whole incident didn't take 2 minutes. My wife and I our both in our mid 70's, experienced travelers and eat out often and have just completed 10,000 miles of a 12,000+ mile road trip. In all our travels we have never experienced such a public, rude and condescending verbal assault on an employee as we witnessed yesterday. Our waitress, a nice older lady, was obviously embarrassed, as were we. We also overheard the man at the counter express to our waitress that he was sorry and that he hadn't complained. Before we got up to leave the owner had gone back to the kitchen, I was so upset by what had transpired that I asked our waitress to get the owner for me. She told us not to worry about it, everything would be find so we left, but I couldn't let it rest and went back and talked to the owner. Obviously I didn't get everything off my chest or I be addressing the issue today. Assuming that the owner reads this, the first thing you should do is apologize to your employee for your inappropriate actions yesterday and secondly, if you can't do that maybe consider another line of work. I don't know how you stay in business treating your employees and customers like this. I can only imagine how you must treat this lady when no one is around! You should be so ashamed of yourself, good employees are hard to come by and should be shown respect. We feel so sorry for your employee! She was a very nice lady! You, not so much! Joe P. read more

Let me start by saying this place was really close to our motel. That's why we are there the 1st time. In all ... 3 breakfasts and a lunch. Everything was very tasty .. home made. The staff was great. We'll be back read more

The food was good, the service not so much. Also it was pretty expensive, I had a patty melt, fries and an ice tea and it was $13 for the amount I got it definitely wasn't worth that I feel. The decor was need and country feeling. read more

This place 'is' my childhood. From the lovely lady that served us to the towns best Rubins! When I was a youngster my parents would bring me here frequently. Maybe it was the Spumoni Ice cream or the house salads, this place just felt natural and homely. Forever my childhood- ~Will miss that lovely lady who catered to us 247 read more

Very tasty, ordered the grilled roast beef melt with onion rings, nice serving size (I'm leaving with a doggie box). Staff were fast, friendly and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere! If you want some down home good eats, stop by and scope out the menu. Tonight's special was Liver and oinions, which sounded good, but I went for something lighter. read more

I go here whenever I am in town. Good restaurant and nice bar with inexpensive drinks, nice people and you can play keno. I am a fan.

Five-star greasy spoon! The French dip is really tasty and a cup of coffee is only $1! My waitress was kind and service was quick. Will come back if I'm ever through Gering again! read more

Best Hash browns ever! I work on the equipment there and eat all the time!

A fine place to eat as you head up to the Scotts Bluff monument. Good breakfast all day. Great(!) French dip sandwich. The onion rings didn't have much onion. Service was super friendly, not a bad place for breakfast, lunch or dinner in the Scotts Bluff/Gering area. read more

Stopped for a quick early dinner. Good food. Service was great! Family friendly. Breakfast all day.

Are far as breakfast joints go. This is a super good one. Great food!!!, good service, comfortable atmosphere.

We stayed at a motel down the street and this place was recommended, as "good home cooking". Okay!! Seriously, I am not sure if the daily special is the better route, as I ordered something I thought was going to be good--the spaghetti and meatballs. When it came out, i could smell hot tomato sauce. Upon taking a bite, that is literally what it tasted like. Nothing more. The toast that came with it was buttered toast with some salt and parsley sprinkled on it. I had to add lots of salt and pepper to have it be any thing but bland. My husband had a burger, goodness. It was half onions, and I do not mean the toppings that came on it. When tearing open the burger to show me, you could see all the onions in the meat. It was not good. I am know when I make home cooked meals, I want left overs. In this case, we did not want to even eat more than a few bite of our food. read more

Outstanding breakfast not so much for lunch and dinner. Always a full plate. Bad parking provided. Typical old dinner set up.

My husband had a club sandwich and I had a small chef salad, that looked like a big one in a small bowl. The food was very good and the place clean. The servers were polite and diligent. read more

Nice friendly service, lousy food. Been there three times to see if different food was better, not the case.

This was great treat! Top notch dinner food! Turkey and dressing was superb, and the green burrito was also equals good! We will stop again on our way tru town! read more

Had a great breakfast while passing through. Nice old diner style counter for sitting at if you are alone. Nice conversation. But why oh why do they only have sausage gravy on Saturday. That is the only reason to knock off a star. I had to settle for my 2nd best breakfast of hash browns, link sausage, and a couple eggs. The sausage was outstanding. I will stop in again for sure. Hopefully on Saturday next read more

We were in town for breakfast and had a short wait to get a table at the Log Cabin - they are a popular place on Sunday mornings, at about 9:30. My husband had bacon and eggs and I had eggs and garlic sausage, which I was guessing was locally made, and the waitress confirmed that. It was very tasty sausage, lean and delicious, but not too garlicky. Portion sizes were just right. Would come back again! Lots of interesting western decorations on the walls, some faded in the sun but that just added character. The decor reminded me of my Grandma and Grandpa's house with the cowboy theme. read more

Came here for breakfast as the Whistle Stop has closed. A basic, diner breakfast menu. The Denver omelet I had was excellent, with very tasty ham and cheddar cheese. Service was good, prompt and friendly. Prices are very reasonable. My only complaint: they only have biscuits and gravy on Saturday. Why? read more
