We came to the Lighthouse Bar and Grill for and early dinner on a Friday evening. The place wasn't…read moreterribly busy yet when we arrived, and we didn't have to wait for a table. The Ambience is pretty standard for a sports bar and grill in Nebraska, with the requisite TVs lining the walls. During our visit, most of the TVs were muted, but one was blaring sports and commentators fairly loudly, especially for how quiet the rest of the place was. The menu is not vegetarian-friendly. Other than your standard deep-fried appetizers, the only option for herbivores is a veggie pizza. I ordered a personal sized one, sans onions. The pizza came out with plenty of toppings and cheese, but unfortunately, it could have used some more time in the oven. The crust was definitely doughy, and the toppings were a bit soggy. The cheese curds were decent though, and everyone else in our party enjoyed their food. This is not the kind of place I tend to seek out personally, because I know the options for me will be very limited. But sometimes we go where the group wants to go. Certainly visit and decide for yourself if you are in the mood for some classic bar food. (For those wondering, this is a Pepsi establishment.)

Last Thursday, September 4th was my first time visiting this establishment. There were 4 adults…read moreand 2 children. The service was pretty nonexistent. We ordered a Lighthouse Sampler, 2 medium rare steak specials, wings, bacon and egg burger, kids Mac and kids corn dogs. Sampler was good. No complaints on the wings or burger. The steaks however were overcooked, fatty and had no flavor. Will not be recommending those to anyone. Fast forward to today. 7 Sept. There were 5 adults to start with a 6th person arriving later. I had to yell across the restaurant to get the server so we could order. After that she disappeared. When the sixth person arrived, not one employee came up to us. I had to go to the bar to try to get myself a refill and order a drink for the sixth person after waiting 15 minutes. When I questioned about our server, I was told she was sick and they were short staffed. There were a couple people in our group are immune compromised and she could get one of them very sick. The tvs were on and showing both volleyball and football. The volume was a little loud and made it hard to hear each other. Also, where the heck are the managers?? Tonight was all teenager/high school looking servers.

There were so many things to choose…read morefrom on the menu, but I had to try the chicken fried hamburger, what a fantastic idea for a burger.... And it's comes with a side of country gravy just like chicken fried steak, how could I not try a special burger like that.... And I was not disappointed! It was wonderful, so juicy and flavorful, with the breading surrounding a hand made patty, dipped into that thick, got peppery gravy.... So, so, so good. My wife chose the mushroom Swiss Burger and tots. She couldn't finish the whole burger, it was a big Burger with lots of tots, so I got to try it. She had be reaching about it all the time we were eating, as was I about my burger, and I wasn't sure I could eat the small little sliver she had left but she gave it to me to try and, wow.... It was really as good as what I got. So much cheese and mushrooms, and the burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. If you find yourself out near Fremont Nebraska, close to a one horse town named Nickerson, with a bar and grill named the One Horse Saloon, stop and eat.... Don't pass this place up. Btw....as we were getting ready to leave, the couple next to us ordered ribs, and I almost say back down for another meal. So many great choices.... We have got to come back here.

(I apologize if I just spelled the name of the town wrong. I'm not from here.) My group of 6 stopped on our way home from Omaha. My parents have been there before (they were with us) but my husband and I have never been. There's a bar side, and a restaurant side. We sat in the restaurant and had the nicest waitress in the world. I found out she went to high school with my parents. 10 beers on tap. Full bar. I had water. Not sure what NA options were available. Menu is very small. Maybe, 7 choices? No kids meal. Not a family-friendly place. They have an outdoor area. Today was a little too cool & windy for us to enjoy it, but inside by the sunny windows was perfect. Hubby had a Reuben burger. He loved it. I had a chicken salad which has a garlic-pesto dressing. (I attached a picture.) The chicken was cooked perfectly. I could have eaten a while other portion. Everyone in my group finished their entire plates. My Mom & her bestie had the steak tips and fries. That looked SO good. I was a tad jealous. We don't live far; about an hour away. We'll be back soon! *They start live music on the weekends beginning in June.*
