Quick service and friendly atmosphere! Elsie always has a smile for her customers. They have quite…read morethe menu for a small place but have a limited menu on Holidays.

It was a pilgrimage I had long intended to make, a journey to the smallest incorporated city in the…read moreUnited States. On the exterior, the town of Monowi, Nebraska, is an unremarkable wide spot in the road along Route 12 just south of the state's border with South Dakota. Only one, single resident remains. Upon my arrival, I met the famous mayor Elsie Eiler on the eve of her 90th birthday. She still makes her way down from her trailer to the restaurant every day, the same establishment she and her late husband Rudy have operated for over half a century. It's incredible she has the energy to keep the place running at her age, a spry woman short in stature who does the cooking and bartending all day every day. Being the only business open in town, excluding the free 5,000-book library around the corner, it's the obvious place to gather amidst the abandoned homes, crumbling vacant post office, and dilapidated church. If you're willing to make this worthwhile drive to remote Nebraska, the biggest surprise is that the food is actually very good! The pizzas are wonderful, defying all logic as to how such a delicious pie could be found so far from civilization. The menu offers a stunning selection of foods, all of which Elsie prepares, including two styles of hamburgers, five other sandwiches, and three different cuts of steak among several other options. They have a plethora of side dishes from tater tots and fries to gizzards and cheese balls, all at very reasonable prices!

Good service, cheap drinks (dangerous) and fun locals. It's a cozy bar, so show up earlier if you…read morewant a seat. I've been here a handful of times. It's a favorite place to hang out among local young people and artists. There's often a band playing. It's a good place to watch people. Some strange cats come through, probably to rip out of the surrounding small-town, conservative angst that is Norfolk. The art inside is also strange. I can't remember the guy's name, but there is an artist that everyone loves in Norfolk and lots of his stuff is featured in this bar. They always talk about how great he is when I'm there, and I politely listen, but honestly not my taste. The drinks are so cheap that you have to be careful. I absolutely got shit-faced during New Years a few years ago. It was a fun time though. The bartender was awesome. We had cheap champagne on the house at midnight. They passed around hats, noisemakers and other party favors. They don't have much food here, mostly frozen pizzas that actually taste pretty terrible (but who cares if you're drunk). There aren't too many places in Norfolk to hang out. This is a pretty interesting place.

A lot must have changed with the Office in a year since the last review. My wife and I stopped in…read moreSaturday afternoon to be met at the door by some mut of a dog, one customer slumped over the bar and a employee playing a game. The lighting was sparse and a aroma I could not distinguish. To say the least, two steps in the door, we could not leave fast enough.
