2023 edit: It's been a few years so it's time to re-review. Seating has changed, their indoor dining is quite lovely. Prices are still too high for what you get, they're still open only during the summer, and the few times I've been in since my initial review have taught me that a big reason for the seasonal operation is that the owners primarily employ children, at least from what I've seen. The food overall is still good and I feel it's a generally more pleasant dining experience than it used to be.Only open seasonally in the summer, as far as I'm aware. The seating is sparse, and that's being generous. The food is slightly above average, however the prices are highly above average for what's on offer. The best part, however, is the ice cream. They have all sorts of colorful swirls in their soft serve, my favorite being blue goo. It adds a delicious sweet flavor that you legitimately cannot get anywhere else around here, even at Dairy Queen.

I wish I could return food. Charging $20 for two simple cheeseburgers then making me wait 30 minutes when there's maybe 3 customers getting only ice cream.

If you're ever in Alliance, NE, or near it, stop in for a burger basket. Fat, juicy, tasty burger on a slightly toasted bun (perfect warmed on the grill kind of toasty). The crinkle fries were just crispy enough, and the sun tea was refreshing. Busy little place but worth the stop. Staff was pleasant, the place was clean, and the food was great.

They have some really wonderful ice cream options here! I always look forward to when they open during the summer. Do be prepared for a little bit of a wait but worth it!

My new favorite place in town. The house burger is amazing. The onion ring and BBQ sauce was a perfect touch.

Great American hamburgers, soft-serve ice cream varieties. Great historic 1950's ish vibes
Very overpriced. 4$ for a 16 oz root beer float for the lady. Snow cone place was closed. Too bad they screw you or I would’ve been back

The Best Burger joint in Alliance. Fresh ingredients, great service, a gem of a place. Only open from May to August so be sure to stop in while you can!Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly! Kids menu, baby cones, and all the fried goodness a kid could want.Parking: Few spots to park in front. More parking in rear of building and exit through alley.Wheelchair accessibility: Front area has wheelchair accessibility. Bathrooms are large enough for wheelchair too.

They were closed during Heritage Days, Alliance's biggest annual event, please explain that. Lousy customer service idea, we were really looking forward to a good old cheeseburger

This place caught our eye as we drove through town. We stopped to get some soft-serve ice cream in a waffle cone. Wonderful. Delicious. Super nice folks running the place and great service. And great old fashioned look and atmosphere. Difficult parking.
