“First time here, it’s an experience for sure. Nothing fancy, it’s like a way back time machine when you walk in. Sit where you can, in a booth or counter. The service is outstanding, it’s ran efficiently, food came out in under 90 seconds.

The coney was great, coney sauce, mustard, onions. It was what I dreamed of. Bowl of chili, was standard definition of chili, straight forward meat, beans, sauce.

The fries were cooked perfectly, is that in lard? They we so good, I wanted more!!! Lots more!!!

Good and tasty and inexpensive. We even got a to go pack so we could enjoy a coney at home.

Parking: Huge lot across the street was packed. Street parking was busy. Couple trips around the block needed. At 12noon Friday

Kid-friendliness: Kids love hot hogs and milk shakes!“

“This is a review of the small restaurant inside the airport at Grand Island NE. The airport is small with not a great number of flights. So they open to cater mainly to departing passengers. Arriving passengers may not be able to have a meal after arrival. Just be aware. The staff and service were great. Some of the best airport food I have eaten from a sandwich type place. The price was more like a normal restaurant than airport overpriced food.“

“Great food our server Octavia was friendly and did an amazing job. We had family in from out of town and had a large party- called ahead to give them a heads up and were rudely informed “we don’t take reservations” - we were not trying to make a reservation, we trying to give them a heads up - whatever. When we checked out the lady at the register hardly spoke to us and when we ask for a muffin to take home she proceeded to sack up a muffin for us - without any conversation whatsoever - then she decided to fill the cinnamon rolls before bringing out muffin to us and ringing up or ticket. Still not a word she gives my 86 year old Mom her change and say “have a good day”. My take on this Perkins -Great wait staff and food - crabby , inpatient, unhappy front of the house.“

“Wow, that was a nice surprise. An unassuming biker bar look from the outside. Walk in, and it's all local family and friends, eating the best home made food in the area. Known for their daily specials and ridiculously great pizza. I can't overstate the pizza qualities. Get off the main drag that is highway 281. Take Old Potash Highway West and find a very relaxed place to feel at home.

“Went here for a Sunday lunch. The food was good. The place was clean and pleasant. The only thing was the staff. I understand that ppl have bad days and Sundays are the worst in the food business. I was really disappointed that couldn't even fake being in a good mood and I'm not talking just one it was all of them we had 4 staff that interacted with us and they couldn't even smile let alone muster a your welcome. The plates were slightly slammed on the table like he was carrying a ton and couldn't hold it anymore. I don't see me putting this in my rotation anytime soon.“
