It recently reopened with new owners. Now called Wagon Wheel. They have very good cheeseburgers. Also Hungry Horse has sirloin chicken fried steak that's hard to beat.
OT: Best small town eats in the state

Gotta mention Leroy's in North Bend, used to be called the Rawhide. Not quite as good good as it used to be, but still has good prime rib.
I wouldn't go to Bob's bar expecting the states best burger. It's just about the quantity of food. One small town place I like is Jerry's hilltop near the 81/20 intersection on 81. Sunday dinners are all homemade grandma style meals.
That's probably why it tasted so good after a night of cheap keg beer!
Loved the Barrel Bar as a kid. Have not been there since the seventies. My wife calls Nebraska "The Land of Iceberg Lettuce". South Central Nebraska is not exactly the bastion of fine dining. I usually stop at King Soopers near DIA at the Bennett Exit and fill up a cooler before making the drive over. I was just back for Memorial Day and on the way back home I had another great meal at Root Down inside DIA. Best airport restaurant I've ever eaten at. Other than going and coming from the airport I haven't spent much time in Omaha, but I am continually impressed with Lincoln's restaurants.
Do they still serve their beef stew out of a can?
Rowdys in fairbury has good chicken fried steak. Baxter agree or am I barking/howling at the moon? After all I'm the only one on here that felt the earthquake I believe
Ron moved everything from Clatonia to Beatrice. It's still called "Legends"
Bar in Garland used to have the best prime rib I'd had. Not sure if it still is as good.
Lippy''s bbq in Malcom has my vote.

We ate at "Speakeasy" in Sacramento NE a year ago. Best tomahawk prime rib I've ever eaten. 32 oz with garlic butter. Mrs Sparky & I split it and brought half of it home. It doesn't even come with a knife. Never had beef this tender & flavorful in my life.
