7 Spectacular Restaurants Across Nebraska
Food is a tricky thing. People have varying tastes and get hungry at different times. Some prefer busy, popular bistros while others prefer quiet, intimate steakhouses. Whatever your preferences, we’re here to help, which is why we humbly present these seven suggestions on where to dine while in each of Nebraska’s seven regions.
Northwest Region
Scottsbluff is way out in the western part of our wonderful state and is home to The Tangled Tumbleweed. This restaurant strives to provide an environment that fosters friendship and conversation by serving tapas rather than full-size meals. These shareable portions go splendidly with the selection of wines and beers.
Sandhills Region
North-central Nebraska is where Valentine sits, nestled in the gorgeous Sandhills. Here is where you’ll find the Peppermill Restaurant & Lounge and an absolutely mouthwatering prime rib. Seriously, try the prime rib – you won’t regret it.
Southwest Region
McCook, down near the Kansas border, has one of Coppermill Steakhouse’s two locations. Actually, it’s the original location and it’s been serving the area since the ‘80s! Steaks are aged in-house for a minimum of 30 days, and are then cut by hand.
South Central Region
The Odyssey restaurant in Hastings is aptly named, because a meal there is a journey into amazing cuisine with a Midwest twist. Our lunch recommendation: “The Popper,” a burger served on a pretzel bun then topped with bacon, cream cheese and jalapeño jam.
Northeast Region
With a beautiful riverfront view of the Missouri, Kahill’s has the perfect atmosphere for an evening on the town. South Sioux City’s well-loved fine dining establishment specializes in ultra-fresh fish and, go figure, Nebraska beef.
Metro Region
Omaha, Nebraska’s largest city, is where you can find Dolce. They serve customers with their wealth of knowledge and passion for food. No matter what you get, from the wasabi caesar to the scallops, you’ll leave happy with your choice of meal.
Southeast Region
Black Crow Restaurant and Bar, located in Beatrice, is a top-notch restaurant specializing in American and Mediterranean food. You’ll feel like royalty dining beneath the gold-leaf ceiling or grabbing a drink from the antique oak back bar. While it’s elegant, it’s certainly not overdone, and your food won’t be either.
