I don't know why but I felt like I gained XP from eating here.
Food: Our friend's friend who is from Burwell took us here before visiting the annual Big Rodeo hosted in town. Not sure if they normally do this, or if it was because we had a large party, but they had makeshift a sloppy joe (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/eW7wBDiiiYnohxLOOzj3gA?select=vz9XfeBcXZqD8FiXgjnBMQ#vz9XfeBcXZqD8FiXgjnBMQ) and hot dog (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/eW7wBDiiiYnohxLOOzj3gA?select=vz9XfeBcXZqD8FiXgjnBMQ#RwukLCheFo142FAwFQ6yHg) buffet laid out in the restaurant complete with baked beans, pickles, and a macaroni salad. The sloppy joe filling was pretty good, but the bun clearly came from a store bought bag. I mean, it's hard to expect much more because this place isn't exactly near any urban hubs. Everything else was pretty honest and tasted how it looked.
Atmosphere: We ate outside under a giant tent next to a stage studded with some impressive gear (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/eW7wBDiiiYnohxLOOzj3gA?select=vz9XfeBcXZqD8FiXgjnBMQ#783tPFttN8A7KTyO_W82bg). Their seating area flooring is entirely sand, appropriate since Burwell is in the Nebraska Sandhills. Sadly, it looked like a giant ashtray with all the cigarette butts strewn about. The interior has a true dark, but not divey bar feel, the likes of which you just don't see in LA. I felt as if many friendships had been made and broken there.
Service: It was mostly self service.
Synopsis: Honestly, I would have never even thought about stopping at this place if not for the recommendation, but it was an interesting experience. read more
