    Penny's Diner - Great onion rings

    My family and I went on a mini day trip to a nearby antique store and were famished when we got to…read morethe area after a little car drive. We actually didn't even know Penny's was here but happened upon it because we missed our turn to Arby's. It was such a lucky accident and we greatly enjoyed the vintage diner vibes here. The aesthetics of Penny's are so cute, endearing, and truly embody the vintage soda bar diner environment in every way. Also, our server was the absolute best, very friendly and kind, and she checked up on us regularly. The food did take a little bit to come out, but we were a slightly larger group of four, but we were excited to dig in! I got the waffles and bacon combo, which was a great serving and enough for a snack later. The bacon was super crispy and tasty, and the waffles were a bit drier but still yummy. Everyone else was impressed with their meals and the chicken and gravy was a huge hit with my dad. I would love to come back here in the future, and very likely will!

    I read through the reviews beforehand and thought, "There's no way it's consistently THAT bad..."…read moreOMG IT IS. We arrived about 12:45. There was 4 or 5 other tables in the restaurant. Our waitress took our drink orders about 5 minutes later but didn't come back to take our food order until about 1:15. We got one malt at 1:20 and didn't get the other until almost 1:30. The table across from us had ordered shortly after we sat down and still didn't have their food at this point. The lady asked their waitress about the wait, who said they only had one cook, and it would be about 5 more minutes. 15 minutes or so later (1:45ish) the lady got up, walked outside, came back, and announced that the cook was outside smoking. She also observed that her order was sitting in the window. It's now 2pm and neither of us have our food. 5 or so minutes later our waitress comes to our table with multiple baskets - my Patty Melt and Fries (which the lady also ordered and observed in the window 20ish minutes earlier), my cup of Chili, a Reuben we didn't order, my son's Burger and Fries, my older daughter's French Dip (but not the Au Jus or Fries), and not my younger daughter's Philly and Fries. I informed our waitress of the errors and that the Patty Melt was cold. The table across from us got up and walked out. After several minutes, the other waitress came by and asked if we still wanted the Philly or Patty Melt. We said "No". They comped our meal which is why they get an additional star. That was just absurd. 30+ minutes for a malt?! An hour and 20 minutes after sitting down (50 minutes after ordering) to get about half of what we ordered?! And to mix up 2 tables orders that ordered nearly half an hour apart? What in the name of hot messes everywhere is going on at this diner?! I left a $20 tip to cover the malts, which were actually pretty good, and ($6 each I was told), and for the attempts at service.

    Good Friends Cafe - Hot Beef Sandwich special

    Awesome service! Great food, piping hot!…read moreGreat prices! I had the roast beef mushroom cheesy sandwich on sourdough. Everything here is made from scratch, including the bread. This sandwich is a masterpiece. It's like a cheesy hot beef. Lots of meat and hearty. What I really came for was the homemade chicken dumpling soup. My friend, a Wahoo native, said it's a must try. The recipe was passed down from previous owners. It was hearty and yummy with a unique spice. I couldn't put my finger on it but almost like a seafood seasoning. My friend had me bring her a huge jar to-go! I also couldn't say no to the cinnamon roll. I'm picky about my cinnamon rolls so this wasn't the best I've ever had but I did enjoy it. Not moist all the way through and a little burnt on the bottom but it was clearly homemade. I love small town cafes. They are usually super cute, featuring locally made items, etc. and Good Friends is no exception. I would have liked to have seen more storage because I felt like there was stuff kind of everywhere that needed to be put away. Could maybe use some cosmetic, painting updates around the salad bar/counter. But none of this impacted the food or service so I highly recommend stopping in!!

    From pictures that I've seen the place has been updated. The food was never very good when I've…read moregone and it just seemed like it needed a good cleaning but that may have changed - it's now under new ownership. It's popular with the morning coffee drinkers.

    Although not in Omaha, we made a quick little road trip to Logan, IA. Tucked away along the rolling…read morehills of Loess, we swung by for dinner. Saturdays are for SMOKED prime rib night and it's a must to try their 12oz. Side of corn and mac and cheese, plus that au jus dunking sauce. Requested done medium and she came out perfect! Tender, juicy, seasoned well, crusted to perfection. That mac and cheese was BOMBBBB and highly recommended! First time having "smoked" prime rib and it's one officially checked off the list. EXCELLENT smoked flavor! I'm such a fish and chips whore, so when I saw it on the menu, it was a must. Boasted as premium cod, she comes in BIG fillets! Their two piece meal was plenty for one. Nothing to write home about on the chips; your traditional fry. Not terribly seasoned and not terribly... not seasoned. The cod was decently bite worthy, a little on the dry side, but flaked up well. Would I order it again? Probably not. Tartar sauce was just.. tarter cause. Timing was a tad off, as we finally got a refill and an additional water, when it was time to get the check. If you're going for a burger, plan on an extra 25mins ontop of your wait (unless uou made a reservation). Also snagged their Corn Colada off their drink list. Very sweet, no sweet corn taste, and surprisingly not burned!

    Although it is off the beaten path, Twisted Tail is worth the drive. The address says Logan, Iowa;…read morehowever, it is actually located in a tiny unincorporated town called Beebeetown. Don't worry -- the roads getting there are in great shape and it is a pleasant drive. We visited there with some good friends last Thursday evening to avoid the wait times that I had read about on Fridays and Saturdays. Even though that meant we missed their popular ribs and prime rib nights, we were able to experience everything else which makes this place special. To begin with, the building at the corner of the only 4-way stop sign for miles around is rustic, yet clean and well-maintained. The interior harkens back to simpler days of the past with antiques, pictures and other great decor. Our waitress was a young gal who was very nice -- even though she didn't know what the daily special would look like. We figured that many of her customers are regulars who don't need to ask exactly how a dish will be served. Not a problem! Three of our group elected to try the Hot Beef daily special which was tender slices of beef in a sandwich topped with brown gravy with sides of mashed potatoes and creamed green beans. Good home-style cooking that looked and tasted delicious. My wife chose the French Dip sandwich which came with onion rings and au jus. The hoagie bun was filled with meat and she pronounced it to be delicious as well. Our only mistake was ordering an appetizer of Onion Rings. Not the onion rings themselves--they were more than fine. But it was a missed opportunity to sample something else as a starter. Wonderful meal! Highly recommend this place.
