    Hot honey pepperoni pizza

    Great food and atmosphere! Tried the spinach artichoke dip and was the best I've ever had! Also got the hot honey pepperoni pizza and was delish! Our server was great and the GM came to check and see how everything was and he was great! Definitely will be back!

    Stopped by Nebraska Ale Works with a couple of friends for a quick visit and really enjoyed it. Their beer menu was diverse with plenty of options to choose from. The server was friendly and even recommended a few selections. Great atmosphere and fun place to hang out. I recommend this spot if you're in the area.

    Seating was a little slow as there was only one server on a Monday afternoon. Decor was pleasant- typical sports / pub - ale house atmosphere. Food was excellent- side salad was fresh, meat lover pizza was solid as was the club sandwich. Pizza rolls were another great choice.

    Having a new test experience here now. Pizza Rolls. REALLY good. Maybe I like better than the pizzas here. Salad is good as always. 2 different beer options. All is excellent...as normal!!

    Was a little loud, but hey, it's Friday after work! Had a nice relaxed time. Server was friendly and the food was exactly as advertised... comfort food. The Alfredo was humongous portion though, so come hungry or share!

    Great new addition to the Kearney restaurant scene, right off I-80 and smack dab in the middle of the hotel hub. The lineup of Nebraska brews is reason enough to stop. The menu is anything but limited, so it was hard to make a selection. Went with the Bison Meatloaf, and was not disappointed. Fries were crispy, and the bbq beans were solid. Want to try the duck gumbo next time. Service was great, and the place was clean and modern. The pasta looked great, as did most everything else. Cool place with great beers and grub.

    Chicken balls, not wings.

There is something for everyone here. My fav is the steak medallions with the grilled veggies.

    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

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.

When she returned, we had a chance to review the menu and placed our order for a triple combo.

The ribs on bone were tender and tasty, the pulled pork a bit dry but flavorful, the brisket was good, but the bread that it was served on was dried out and crunchy.

Mom's soup was a little gloopey, but it was late in the day. My sandwich was so delicious, it was temping to eat there again the next day. I'm sad all the locations are in areas we're unlikely to run across again anytime soon.
