15 Best American Restaurants in Grand Island

“I'm going to go ahead and say something wild here. I had the best sandwich of my entire life come from this establishment. I was debating between the wings, and the prime rib sandwich. I ended up making the best decision of my life due to the fact that bdubs was closed and a local said to check out this place. The prime rib sandwich was what some would call a life changing moment. I'm now having to debate how I'll make the 3 hour drive from Kansas every week to come eat this sandwich that changed my entire perspective on food.“

“Finally got to the iconic Shady Bend and it did not disappoint. Sunny side up eggs cooked perfectly, crispy bacon, yummy hashed browns and some gravy on the side. My boyfriend had the chicken fried steak and it too was as close to perfect as it gets. Excellent service. I'll be back again to tryout the other items. Highly recommend!“

“We got our food the pancakes and they were great, we got two main dishes. A breakfast burrito and the corned beef hash they both had hair imbedded into them one was a long blond hair and the other was a small curly beard hair, we did let our waitress know and they did compensate us for only the corned beef hash. The waitress was actually talking with us when we found the second hair in the burrito. So I'd say they don't take sanitary practices seriously.“

“Ate at Tommy's today (Thanksgiving Day) and thoroughly enjoyed their Thanksgiving "Feast" of Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potato puree, stuffing, corn, and cranberry sauce. All for a very reasonable price of $15. Large portions, fast service, and soooo grateful that the owner and his whole family along with the best employees were there to feed so many people on a day where everyone else was closed. So glad that they offer a place to eat great food to those that might not have a place to go to celebrate- Tommy's is always welcome to everyone, like family! Their daily menu (breakfast all day!) is great too!“

“Food is great, yum yum. Warm cozy environment that I can rely on to get a good chill in. I can't drink, I can't drive either, so I've never tasted alcohol here. I am 15... The server... Dude sat the table in front of me. He asked to serve, and they let him. Threw a menu at my nose. It was funny though, and it was great. He apologized and continued to take out orders. He then called our friend Keithen Alan. Was pretty funny with names throughout the night. I hope this dude gets the job as he is applying. 9.5/10 would recommend.Kid-friendliness: Was respectful to teens.“

“I am in town for business and stopped in for a quick breakfast and as soon as I walked in I met Alisha V. She was so friendly. One of those people you meet only once in a while… Thank you for being the best part of my day! Oh yeah and the food was good too! lol?“

“ATTENDED A HERO BURGER NIGHT. FUNDS GO TO THE HERO FLIGHT TO WASHINGTON DC. THEY HAVE AWESOME HAMBURGERS OR CHEESE ON IT!! AND REALLY GOOD FRENCH FRIES YUMMY FOR OUR TUMMIES!! Y'ALL SHOULD ATTEND ONE. PUBLIC WELCOME TO THESE FUNCTIONS!!“

“I want to compliment the staff. I have never gone to this Culver's and not gotten a smile. Everyone is so polite and sweet. To see teenagers happy, smiling and treating people with respect is so refreshing! They all deserve a huge thank you, pat on the back, and should be so proud of themselves! Thanks so much for hiring such amazing people. Keep up the great work to all of you! I hope my kindness in return makes you feel good too.“

“The food was great and quickly received, my server, Katie Jo, was professional and courteous. The decor is pretty neat too. The carpet is old and dingy and needs to be replaced, the tabletops and booths are old and need resurfacing. Also the menus are old and greasy and kind of disgusting to touch them.“

“I met a young lady there named Tina. I think she is the manager. The only thing I do know is she was extremely kind and understanding and addressed the issues with an amazing amount of understanding. I hope she does run it. She gets it. She knows“

“If you are a fan of good pizza, you definitely need to try pizza from the Bunkhouse. We ordered the Chicken, bacon, ranch pizza, and it did not disappoint. Toppings were generous, and it was not greasy at all. Way better than most bar pizza I’ve eaten.“

“A local and nationally known, family owned restaurant. The traditional booth and counter seating bring back a nostalgic diner atmosphere. If you're a local or just passing through, I'd highly recommend stopping in for a great meal. Best coney dogs I've ever had.“

“We ate dinner there. Food is so good! Server was great! Prime sirloin steak was season and done perfectly. Great baked potato and side salad with it. My husband had the ribs with sweet potatoes fries and coleslaw. He said the ribs are the best he ever had. Sweet potatoe fries were hit and crispy and good coleslaw. Our server so good and attentive.“

“If you like authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go! It's very good! A huge "thank you" for the large order we placed for our Christmas Eve celebration. The taco boxes, enchiladas, and tamales were all incredible. Highly recommend the taco boxes, they are very authentic like those we've had in Southern California. We've eaten at this restaurant many times when visiting the area and it's always so good. Caring, helpful, and friendly staff. We'll be back!“

“I stopped in for a few drinks. I was by myself and have never visted before. Everyone was very friendly and the two bartenders worked their tails off. They must have good pizza and wings... I saw several orders go out the door. If I'm ever in town again... I will definitely stop by and try the pizza.“
