He gave me the side-eye, as if he'd forgotten my title of (Self-Proclaimed) Queen of Yelp. But little did he know...my powers were in full force! I had the Smoke 2 Joints on gluten-free bread. He had the Good Vibrations on a gluten-y bun. Boy, oh, boy, were they tasty! We demolished both sandwiches off before our EV even finished charging (and our EV likes to slurp electrons quickly). I'm struggling to figure out why there were some negative reviews, and I'm mystified. Who knows? But in my official capacity as the One and Only Yelp Savant, I'm here to tell you to disregard those people and get yer butt to the Goat! Sincerely, Your Queen PS: They have a nice patio area upstairs, and they don't do tap to pay. (Nice Goat owner, get a Square device and you'll be all set for tap to pay!)

What a gem bar and sandwich joint in Kearney! Sat at the bar where you also come up to order. Had…read morethe Pot which was a flavor packed large sandwich on a crispy and nicely seasoned house bread that was reminiscent of focaccia. You can get chips, soup, or a salad with your sandwich. We got a salad and I would not advise that option. Although fresh, it didn't have much going on, but was respectful as a side salad to the filling sando. Gives hippie, rock band garage vibes with an arcade on the second floor and a sick patio in the downtown area.

I ordered the hot honey chicken which was smooth as silk, very tender and flavorful. The soup and salad bar was also a nice surprise and well stocked with plenty of fixins.

She even wrote it down. The Tatertots were cold on the first plate. Pretty sure they were the same ones on the 2nd plate. Those were not only cold, but hard. We had a Prime Rib Philly and we had to ask for the Au juice. She brought one bowl to us. Our sandwich was lukewarm at most. She did apologize for everything. Then they were charging us for BOTH Sandwiches. I would definitely NOT recommend. The motel we were staying at said it was a "Gangster/Mafia experience " NO IDEA WHY!!! There's records hanging from the ceiling. That's the only different thing that they had. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!

My husband and I decided to grab a quick dinner at Perkins after our long road trip to Kearney. The…read morerestaurant had a nice size dinner crowd, but it wasn't crowded or super busy. Our server never introduced herself, seemed a bit disorganized but was friendly. We both ordered the Country Fried Steak platter, one with sunny side up eggs and the other with scrambled, hash browns, and Belgian Waffles. My husband also ordered a side of bacon. The food was all done well, the fried steak a bit hard to cut, but still tasty with the country style cream gravy. The sweet tea tasted a bit off and was the only thing we didn't really like. For dessert we ordered both the Strawberry & Cream Cheese Crispers, and the Caramel Apple Crispers. The crispers were like dessert eggrolls. They weren't overly sweet, and a really good dessert. If you're looking for nothing fancy but a place with something for everyone Perkins is the place.

I feel these places prey on the elderly who lack taste buds. Just bland and dough-like and it wasn't the pie or the pancakes. Those were ok. The fruit in the fruit cup were hard and rubbery(How do you mess up fruit?!?), the food tasted like it was hospital food from the 70's, lesser quality than a TV dinner. This is a restaurant where quality and integrity died. It might as well just be a buffet where people just blindly filling their maws with garbage. Would not recommend. Keep driving.

Our visit to Cunninghams On The Lake was appalling. The owner/manager was using profanity (mainly…read morethe "F" word) while talking with other men, loud enough that everyone nearby -- including kids -- could hear it. When my husband respectfully asked him to tone it down, the owner actually walked around the bar (where we were seated) to confront him and insulted him, calling him self‑righteous and that he wasn't apologizing for his language. As customer's were leaving they stopped to tell my husband that he was right in asking this man to be aware of where and what words he was using while women and children were dining. What owner/manager thinks this is beneficial for his business?? If he treats the customers as such how on earth does he treat the employees?? I am so sorry for the young ladies that have to work for this man. I've never seen a business owner behave with such arrogance and disrespect toward paying customers. This is not a family‑friendly environment, and we won't be back. Whatever happened to the statement that "the customer is always right even if they aren't"? ---

Stating water is the source of life and genuinely kept every water glass filled in the summer heat. Lovely server! I had the lemongrass pork, which had some of the freshest lemongrass and juicy pork I've ever had in a Thai dish. Flavor in every bite, with bell pepper and cucumber. A refreshing and satisfying blend in each bite. As a pineapple fan myself, I was very pleased by the fresh slice on nearly every plate. The next outstanding dish was the Thai puffs. Thick flakey pastry, evenly filled with veggies and moist chicken. Served with a home made sweet and sour sauce, which was a bit runnier in texture but so much fresher in flavor! Love to see a freshly made sauce. They have curtains across the front glass, which threw me off but they have an open sign. Come on in during their lunch or dinner hours. It filled up pretty quickly after they opened for dinner at 5PM. Very well worth the wait for the meal.

It was a large space, and despite its positive first impression, we were a little concerned because there were no customers. Perhaps 5:30 on a weekday was too early for the area. It was obvious our server was new because she wasn't too sure about the menu, but she got the answers we needed. The "special" lasagna my wife ordered ended up being unavailable, so she went with the regular lasagna. The presentation and taste of our pasta entrees was very good. I went with the regular-size beef stroganoff instead of the large portion and glad I did because the sauce was heavy and contained a lot of beef. We also ordered their special bread (assorted 4-count) and it came out soft and warm with a delicious spread on the side. I'd definitely recommend checking out Joy's Table if in the area. By the way, two more tables came in by the time we left. I guess it's a late dinner crowd.
