Husker Bar III is Brainard’s go-to locally owned and operated food and drink destination. Known for our warm hospitality and exceptional service, we take pride in offering the best dining experience in town. Our beer is always ice-cold, our food is served hot and fast, and we’re dedicated to supporting and giving back to our local community.
Join us on Saturday nights for our famous Prime Rib—widely regarded as the best in Nebraska. On Wednesdays, we celebrate our Czech heritage with a Bohemian-style dinner, while Fridays feature a mouthwatering selection of fish, including carp, cod, walleye, catfish, and shrimp. Thursdays at lunch, we serve up our signature fried chicken, and Wednesday evenings, don’t miss our made-to-order juicy wings.

Great Bar great food great people well, worth a drive over if you haven’t had a hamburger on Thursday go over there and have a hamburger because I don’t wanna pay $18 to Burger King or McDonald’s for one of theirs

Burgers were seasoned to perfection. I’m full and happy. We drove 40 minutes to try this place out and it was well worth the drive. I’m excited to come out for their Friday Fish special.

This was my first time at Husker Bar II and it didn’t disappoint. The fish fry was great with a choice of Cod, Carp or Walleye. My choice was the Walleye and it was moist, flavorful and definitely worth the extra few bucks. I’m not sure what the secret ingredient in the macaroni salad is but it was delicious. The other members of the family had the Carp and were very happy with the portion size and flavor.

WOW! If you are traveling on Hwy92 in Nebraska, take a 5 min detour to Husker Bar Brainard. The pricing, quality, and friendliness CANNOT be beat.

Very comfortable environment. They make the best cranberry vodka I’ve had. There are also many tasty items on their menu too! Our favorites are Wednesday Bohemian lunch, Thursday burgers and Saturday Prime Rib. They also have a large salad bar with a lot of options.

The only place in town to get a great meal with great atmosphere in a small town with the absolute best staff. Husker has always been the best in town and will remain. The new changes are only adding positive notes. Keep it up!

The vibe is awesome. I’m not a local and everyone was friendly and authentic. Worth the drive. Food was good, hot and fast. Bartender was great. The husker game was on ALL the TV’s.
