Foods pretty good depending on whos working. The manager there is the best he really cares about his customers and ensures top not h service. The blonde over night gal is something else though. Took forever for toast and hashbrowns. On top of the wait the encounter was extremely akward, the staring and just plain lack of customer service. Plus the burnt hashbrowns and soggy toast I was not a fan. I will not be swinging through the diner past 10 any longer- cannot stand the weirdness. read more

There is literally nowhere in this town to eat. Luckily this is right by the hotel I was staying at. They even had online ordering. I got a really good bacon cheeseburger. The cheese was good and melty and the bacon was crispy af which I love. The veggies were fresh and crisp. I also got Chili cheese fries. The chili was a little watery and not that meaty. Then again chili in Nebraska was probably never gonna be that good. The fries were crispy and there was a load of good cheese. I'd eat here again but I can't ever imagine staying in this town again read more

There is a reason there are no cars in the parking lot. We should have taken that as our clue to go somewhere else. Paid $25 for two people to eat breakfast. Our food was served to us raw. The egg whites were still clear and runny. We were only able to eat a few bites of toast. The hash browns were served warm but not cooked through. We left hungry and had to go somewhere else for breakfast. I am completely disgusted and WILL NOT go back to this establishment again. read more

We've been on a road trip for almost 2 weeks from California. Stopped here on our way from SD to Denver. Not many options for breakfast. There was ONE guy working. Taking orders, cooking, waiting on tables, etc. For it being short staffed it actually wasn't bad. The food was good, and we thought the price was right (about $50) considering our party of 4 is usually $80-$100 when eating out. The building itself could use some deep cleaning in the bathrooms and around the restaurant wall decor. The table/eating area was clean though (which is what really matters). read more

Penny's is a nice spot for breakfast. We were cruising through from Torrington to Scottsbluff on Saturday around 8am. It wasn't super busy and the staff was friendly. I had just a basic eggs and sausage breakfast w/toast and hash browns. I don't usually care for eggs that are scrambled on a flat top, but these were ok. Hubby had the chicken fried steak. It wasn't the best he ever had, but it also wasn't the worst. I think it's a fine place to stop for breakfast, but nothing really stands out as excellent. read more

Not sure why they have low reviews we had a great experience! Stopped in for a milkshake after a long night of driving and the staff was friendly and fun. Shake was great and you can tell they take a lot of pride in what they provide. Glad we stopped in! read more

Went there for our first time. Excellent food and great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back

Cute diner with a great location next to our Travelodge motel but the service was pretty awful. Only one individual running the show at 6am and we were the only customers, but still had to ask for silverware, napkins, coffee fixins' and everything came slow. They were out of biscuits (?!) but the pancakes were good. Definitely not a good spot if you're on a tight schedule. read more

$27.60 for two orders of chicken tenders & fries.. and there was only a hand full of fries. We will not be eating here again. Waffle maker was broken out of ranch. read more

The overall experience was horrible! The service was poor, we had someone that had just started two weeks prior and she looked like she literally rolled out of bed wearing her diner t-shirt. She was unkept and her t-shirt all dirty. We arrived at 8:30 am and looked to be the one of two parties there and it took forever to get our food! Once the food came, it was all cold and not good at all. The biscuits in my biscuits & gravy were so hard, I could have broken a tooth!! There was a waffle smeared on the floor and all the staff kept walking by it without cleaning it up. Even the soda didn't taste right. Travel Lodge should either close place this or make MAJOR changes since this operates under their name. What an embarrassment to a brand! Keep driving! read more

AVOID at all costs. The wait time was atrocious, the staff were very lazy and slow and we noticed they served locals first, should be first come first serve! The first time we went the wait wasn't as bad but we went again for breakfast the cook was so slow and we waited an HOUR for the food! The overall service was horrible and the food wasn't even that good. Never coming back again. read more

Solo waitress was also the only one cooking! She took our drink order and 45 minutes later we decided to leave. She did not charge us for the drinks when we tried to pay, which was kind. I truly think she wanted us to leave because she never gave us warning that she was alone, or that it would take awhile. Super disappointed... read more

It's all shiny and clean inside. But, don't let the glitz fool you. This place has extremely poor service, and the food isn't that great. I arrived and sat at a table that had some coffee spilled on it. Instead of wiping that off, my waitress sat my water glass in it. I and another couple waited over an hour to get our orders. When mine came, it was wrong and cold. When they finally brought my pancake it was cold, and I had to ask folks r butter and syrup. Don't waste your time. read more

I am very disappointed. Just because the restaurant is in a small town doesn't mean the quality should suffer. Cons: 1. We waited 25 minutes to get our food for only two people. 2. We were not offered a booster seat or high chair for my small son. 3. The portions were very small. Not worth $8 a plate. 5. When we finally received our food, it was barely warm and it didn't have any flavor. 6. They forgot our toast and gave us the wrong type! There were no Pros. The food was bad, the service was bad (who only has one server on a Sunday morning!?), the place was dirty. I will not be going back. read more

Worst place in town, we waited a hour for French fries while everyone around us had full meal. In addition our sever told us they were out of what we ordered after we sat here for 30 mins..... by the time our food came it was stone cold. Save yourself the trouble and eat somewhere else. Also the people working here couldn't care less about our consents, and several other customers had wrong orders and the chef stood around talking the whole damn time! read more

We recently moved to the area and, given the unique appearance and business hours of Penny's, thought we would stop in here for dinner one night. It was just after 8 p.m. when we arrived, which is fairly late for this sleepy little corner of Nebraska; Penny's was likely the only establishment open from Morrill to Scottsbluff. I was immediately struck by the aging decor -- peeling paint and an overall dingy feel -- in stark contrast with the attractive exterior. Trying not to rush to judgment -- because who doesn't love a good dive? -- I reluctantly ordered a couple of a la carte items off of their rather meager menu. (Mind you, this was after ten minutes of waiting for our sever to finish socializing with his co-worker and take our order). Fast forward twenty minutes. We are still waiting for our food. The place isn't hopping even by Morrill standards, but the employees were so chatty with the couple of older gentlemen who came in that they can't seem to do their jobs with any great speed. A combination of boredom and eagerness to receive my order had me clocking the cook, which was a huge error in judgment. I watched in horror as he used his bare hands to dip my french toast in the egg batter -- all the while clinging to a dim hope that he practices good sanitation habits and will wash his hands afterward. Once the slices were sizzling on the grill, I watched as he wiped his egg-saturated fingers on the denim jeans -- the same jeans that were sagging halfway down his rear. The cook then took his filthy, eggy hands and collected a stack of dinner plates for our food. Yay cross-contamination! Needless to say, my intestines are experiencing relative discomfort in the wake of my dining experience at Penny's. I won't be returning. read more

Wish I could give more than 5 stars!! Food was fabulous, everyone very friendly, milk shakes to die for!!!! Highly recommend!

My first time at a Penny's Diner. The staff was amazing! Had a cheese omelet bacon and hash browns. Husband had a cheeseburger, tater tots and a strawberry milkshake that went into 2 cups! I enjoyed the friendly discussions with staff and customers and the music from the chefs Playlist was spot on! So glad we stopped! read more

We were in Mitchell for a family reunion and this was the only local business that was open on a Sunday and was close to the farm. We had great service and a very welcoming waitress. Couldn't ask for faster service and nicer people. read more

I went here about 2 years ago and all I remember is seeing a small bug crawl out from beneath my hashbrowns as I was eating my country fried steak. Never went back. read more

Amazing! Our server was super kind and the food was top notch, will definitely be taking the two hour trip back as much as i can, i think i found my new favorite place ! Thank you Penny's ! Also the sausage patties are THE BEST! read more

Food made how it's supposed to be made. Very good! Order yourself a Rummy. It's a Coke with a shot of butterscotch. Very good treat. read more

I have had many meals here and all have been delicious. The service is great even when the server is also the cook. The coffee could be better. But I am a bit of a coffee snob. Excellent food, friendly service. The manager is even working hard to make this place top notch. read more

Stopped by late at night with 3 kids and all of us loved what we ordered!!! The milkshakes were excellent and the western burger was perfect. read more

We stopped at Penny's on the way to Denver after visiting South Dakota attractions (Mt. Rushmore, etc.) I ordered the fried chicken special offered Sunday evening. The chicken was an odd gray/tan color and managed to be both dry and soggy. After tasting the mashed potatoes, I asked our waitress if they were instant. She cheerfully replied that they were (and tasted it). The meal came with carrots that had been cooked so long they were easily reduced to puree with a gentle press of the fork. Since I ended up eating very little of anything, I asked about the "fresh baked" pies. Well, not made on site, but received frozen, although they are baked in house. I passed. You should too, just drive past, even though alternative choices in Morrill are few. read more

Stopped by for lunch after leaving Guernsey, WY. Two signs out front waitress and cook wanted. This should have been a clue. Walked in counter loaded with dirty dishes several tables needing cleaned off. Picked a clean table waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged. Waitress comes over takes our order. Three waters and one coffee we sit there for 15 minutes waiting for our drinks. Mind you there was only one other table sitting. Food arrived nothing special. read more

On a road trip to the middle of no where, hunger hit and we found Penny's. Having been to a couple in the past, we stopped. I can't refuse a breakfast menu in the middle of the day. I figure most places are only as good as the cook. This is a typical diner. I ordered one of the breakfast combos and my friend got a burger. No disappointment by either of us. The breakfast almost seemed like too much food. The "side" of pancakes that came with it were as big as the plate. The burger was fresh. The fries were good. The coffee was good. No complaints and will stop again. read more

The service is excellent! Our waitress was attentive and friendly! The pancakes are bigger than the plates and fluffy! The sausage and bacon are tasty and hearty! The portions will leave you stuffed ! They have very affordable senior options and if you stay at the Oak Tree Inn.... you eat breakfast for free or get a great discount applied to your bill. We will definitely return!! read more

Place is disgusting. I got sick 3 times eating there. The only cook that was very clean and exceptional is gone. I found that they serve old food and that there is nothing but cross contamination all the time. I would never eat there again. If you want to green burgers and other dirty foods then eat here. read more

I had the Chicken Steak skillet breakfast. It was a really good meal. Everything was seasoned great! I also had coffee with it too, and even the coffee was good too. I also I had sourdough toast to go with it. Everything was great! The diner felt like it was straight from the 50s. It was really good read more

Options for eating out in Morrill are pretty slim. Very occaisionally we'll stop in and grab a bite at Penny's. It is consistently horrible. I won't eat there anymore. The service is good sometimes, the food is very poor quality and none of the cooks are capable of handling something as simple as scrambled eggs without ruining them. The bacon has a funky taste to it. In the past we complained about it and were treated very rudely by the manger and told that no one else had a problem with it. (5 of us were eating breakfast there that day and all 5 of us had bacon which we could not eat.) We've gotten plates with chips in them, that's a health code violation. The cooks don't use gloves, most of them don't look like they have very good hygiene either. Eating here ensures that you'll have a major stomach ache afterwards. I'm over it. They don't care about quality at all. I think they think they can do whatever they want because there are so few other options. It's just NASTY. read more
