“Tried this out as it belongs to a high school classmate. My husband and I are really picky when it comes to BBQ as that is his specialty when we entertain but this place was a great surprise. The food was flavorful and plentiful. We want to check out the Bloody Marys next time.“

“Been a long time since I've been here, but the environment hasn't changed that much, if at all.New servers, kind of the same menu but with some items removed. No more Reuben sliders anymore, which is sad. They still have the Reuben pizza full time though.Our server was very kind and pretty attentive. We came at a somewhat odd time so the place was noisy for a bit, but died off rather quickly.I just chose random food myself, and went with the double bypass cheeseburger. It's two big chunks of meat basically on a bun. The meat seemed to be a little heavy on black pepper, but I personally like pepper myself. Might be a turn off for others though. Added bacon and pepperjack and got a side of onion straws.Other than the extra amount of pepper (and to my knowledge I actually don't remember seeing pepperjack on the burger), it was a decent meal.The price for the food was pretty high, so this will probably be a "once in a while" place still for quite a long time.Parking here is still usually a pain as well, by the way.“

“I and my family visited this establishment two weekends ago right after seeing the sandhill cranes and the archway museum in Kearney, Nebraska. I chose this burger establishment because they showed up at the top of "Best Burger in Kearney," and it was absolutely fitting to their claim. I got a crab Rangoon burger, which was such a unique burger I had to try it. Amazing, and their waffle fries and crab Rangoon fries were great as well. Every person in my party had an incredible meal with large portions...especially the fish that fed my daughter for almost three meals! We are so glad we stopped here, and they were even showing the Iowa women's basketball game, which was an extra treat.Parking: Had adequate parking for a Saturday during the busy sandhill crane season.Kid-friendliness: Great items for kids and very filling...great side choices. Not loud music, so we could actually talk to each other.“

“What a fun place to have lunch! They specialize in "chicken" be it grilled or crispy; be it in a salad or in a wrap; be it on a bun or just a bunch of tenders!They do serve other items like pulled pork, a Ruben and Fish n Chips but when you go to a place called the Chicken Coop, do you really want to eat something other than the main food that crosses your mind!?Highly recommend!“

“Really nice place to stop for a great meal while traveling. We stopped here for dinner while driving cross country. They have unlimited sides which is cool. You can taste the honey in their butter. The peach cobbler is amazing! They also give you hot wet towels to wipe off your sticky fingers after your meal.“

“We had a very large order and they nailed it! It was all very organized and great quality. The employees were so kind. Most places get an attitude when there are larger orders. The staff was so accommodating and were grateful for the business. I was offered help carrying it all to my car as well. I love the small town generosity and kindness!!“

“I went through the drive-thru and got a couple of sandwiches. I always special order my food, so I know it is coming out fresh.I got my food, as ordered, but by the time I got home it was almost cold, and I live approximately 3 miles from the restaurant.Dietary restrictions: You can not order your sandwiches without salt. I was told that the patties come pre-seasoned. So, I just subtract or add condiments to be able to get mine as fresh as possible. I do not like not being able to control how much sodium I am getting on my food, however.“

“The floor is always dirty, employees are always arguing in the kitchen, and there's never anyone at the register, but they are always kind to my toddler and once gave him an extra scoop of custard because they were really backed up on orders, so for that, we will always come back when we're in town.“

“We were looking for a place to watch the Final Four games Saturday night. Everywhere was packed. This hidden gem had plenty of seating. The staff even turned off the overhead music and turned up the game for us. Food was fantastic. Service was outstanding. Don’t miss an opportunity to try this restaurant.“
