I came in on Thursday at 5pm. Prime dinner time. I ordered the special. Whiskey Steak, with choice of potato and salad bar.
Salad bar was typical bag iceberg lettuce with optional peas, croutons, hardboiled eggs, and shredded cheese. With a surprising variety of dressing options
I got a plain baked potato which did come with packets of sour cream and margarine.
I'm not certain what cut of meat the ateak was, but I would guess the off-cut of round steaks.
I ordered it medium rare and it came out with a raw center and barely room temperature. Very concerning. Especially since the potato came out piping hot.
Decent service, but you pay before the food comes out, with prompt for tip. So I worry that with the 20% pre-tip that this is what quality we received.
If you try here, I hope your experience is better than mine.

This place was incredible. Buddy and I were looking for a lunch place other than fast food or quick grill food and found this place on our way to Montana. The lady behind counter suggested their buffet or menu. We tried the buffet. OMG. As my buddy commented the food tasted better than what his mamma makes. And I know his mom and her food is great. This food was so flavorful and great price. The local customers were friendly. We are stopping here again on our way home.

A MUST-STOP LOCATION FOR THOSE ON I-80 2 MINUTES FROM THE INTERSTATE IF EVEN THAT
I have been coming to the Windy Gap once a year when visiting from Texas for 21 years. 8 years ago I moved to Nebraska and make it a point to hit The Windy Gap AND ONLY The Windy Gap on my way out west.
The last time I went was earlier this August in 2024 , en route to see The Darts play in Scottsbluff.
Not only was the meal stellar and more creative than ever before; but we were kept straight on one meal for the entire journey.
Love this place. If you're passing through Nebraska or headed out west in Nebraska, you have to stop here.
