We're in Kearney twice a year for Masonic events, yet this was our first visit. The food was outstanding, and the service top notch even on a busy night. We loved it so much that we went back for lunch before leaving! We will definitely make this a regular stop for us on our visits to Kearney.

So good! Server was horrible. Ignored us the entire meal, brought our drinks and took our order. Someone else brought our food, had to ask for mayo twice and then ignored us the remainder of meal. Empty drinks, did not ask how meal was. We sat there 10-15 minutes wanting refill of drinks and when he finally came back we were just ready to go. He came back because we asked the hostess to get him. Don't recommend Sethe. I will say the food was awesome.

Nice industrial looking sports bar with great service. The salmon on my fiery salmon salad was very good. I thought there were too many greens and not enough salmon or mango salsa. The Mac and cheese was dry.

Disappointment through and through. Despite a recommendation from our hotel’s manager, our experience never rose above the level of OK. Our server seemed like she hadn’t been working there long and didn’t know how to answer some questions that seemed basic like “do you have any specials?” The beer list is apparently by QR code only, which was unfortunate because my dad’s vision isn’t great and trying to read it off a phone is hard. He gave up and asked her to bring him “four of your darkest beers” in a flight. She brought 1 truly dark beer, a lager and two IPAs. (What the hell?) The food was…OK. I think it had potential because it looked like quality ingredients. However, my Nashville hot chicken sandwich came on a bun that was hard and dry in parts. Truly chewy. (My dad said the same about the bun on his burger.) The chicken itself lacked flavor and juiciness, and seemed like it had been prepared and then stuck in a steam table for some time before going into the sandwich. My mom said she liked her crab cakes, but they were served on the most wilted lettuce you ever saw. Would have been better served on a plain plate because it was sickly looking. When we got the bill, our server had no explanation for all the taxes. From what I can tell by the help of Professor Google, the city of Kearney charged a whopping 3.5% on top of the state’s tax, not that we got clarification or anything. I didn’t like feeling as though we were possibly paying made up “taxes” that might actually be add-ons by the restaurant.No highlights from the entire visit.

Nistha took amazing care of us. She was welcoming and kind and we are so happy she was our waitress. There was a hair in our appetizer, she took care of it and got us a new one right away. We are thankful for her and she put up with my dad!!! 10 outta 10. Hope she’s our waitress next time we come. Food was good too. That brownie sundae was delish. Thanks so much!!!!

Passed through Kearney on a long drive from Ogallala to Fremont, and really enjoyed eating here. Service was great, and the place just overall felt cozy. Helps that the food was delicious too. Definitely gonna need to stop here again during future road trips.

This place was absolutely awesome. Had the steak bites for an appetizer (awesome) Salmon Skewers (awesome) Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Skewers (awesome) Steak Skewers (awesome). To anyone reviewing this Cunningham’s is a must if you’re anywhere near Kearney and looking for a great place to eat ?? ?. Almost forgot a great atmosphere and decor inside. Also an outside patio view of the lake.

I saw the name and thought it was a newspaper. The door had a different name above it so didn't know it was the entrance. It was dark. I had to use my phone flashlight to read the menu. The food was decent but not outstanding.
