Really great place to eat. Their chicken fried steak is the best around. And homemade country gravy!!! My hubby had fried Walleye and he said it was fabulous! Very reasonably priced. Our server Jeff was so great. We will definitely be back

Decent little place. Salad didn’t come out as advertised on the menu. Only one person was running the place but she was friendly and trying. Fish sandwich and taco bowl were good.

The food tasted very good. The owner took the time to chat with us and he was very friendly which, as Hispanic, it means a lot. This is a family business with a great history and the owner made us feel as part of it. If you’re driving by Hooper, NE. make sure to visit this dining place.

We came up from Omaha for an end-of-season round of golf at the nearby Elkhorn Valley Golf Course and we stopped here for burgers on our way out of town. We appreciate the historic building and classic, almost saloon like vibe of the place and we really enjoyed our first visit. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching and listening to long time owner Dale engage with all the locals who came in while we were there. Dale was hilarious with his jokes and overall demeanor. I could tell by all the to-go orders that we made a good choice by stopping in. When our food finally came our burgers were simple and tasty with fresh, handmade patties perfectly cooked with cheese, bacon and lots of pickles and a crazy large amount of crinkle cut fries also perfectly cooked. My Corona beers were cold and the cut limes were fresh. Aside from a slightly long wait due to the amount of orders they were dealing with, I really loved our first experience. We’ll definitely make this this a regular stop whenever we’re up in the area. Highly recommend!
