Sometimes in life you get hungry and you take a chance on a place with little to no insight or…read moreinformation as to what you should expect. That was me when I found myself rolling through Crawford, Nebraska and saw the sign for C's Drive in. I could not have been more pleasantly surprised with my overall experience here. The couple who owns and operates the place are exceptionally friendly and are doing classic grease-pit burgers/fries/milkshakes etc but with a notably personal touch. I spent some time talking to them as the place wasn't busy when I arrived, and I can tell you that they are working hard and paying close attention to the food that they're serving. No cut corners, just a couple of people who understand the value of serving good food as a way to make a restaurant succeed. They are passionate. I learned about the way they source the curds for their cheese curds and how they batter and fry them to perfection. I learned about the quality of their beef for the burger patties and how they tried a few combinations before deciding on what they use, (which is delicious), I learned about broasted chicken which is a way that chicken is prepared that leads to a fantastic outcome, (think fried chicken, but more crispy, never dry and loaded with juices). I feel like I can say with confidence that if you stop here and place an order, that the person preparing it will be taking their time and paying attention in order to serve you something that they can be proud of. Classic menu, exceptional execution. Don't second guess it. I had a double bacon cheeseburger, hand cut curly fries and the cheese curds because they sounded so appealing. Would order it all again. Still thinking about those cheese curds every day. All in all this is place is a great example of how good simple things can be when the people behind them show up and care about what they're doing. If you're in the area do not second guess it. The prices are right, the food is pure comfort, and you will leave kind of shocked at the overall quality and value of the place. 5 stars.

We had cheeseburgers and a bbq sandwich and some homemade fries. It felt like something we'd make at home and eat on the back porch. The place isn't much but it's impeccably clean. Considering what a food desert this area is, they could get away with a lot less effort so it means something that they are so nice and eager to please.

So we decided to take the kids and go get some ice cream tonight. The lady and young man running the place were very friendly. Fortunately it wasn't busy because the inside only seats about six and there's a small addition inside that seats more. We had already eaten dinner, so we were only there for ice cream. But we had a few cones, my son had a twister which is like a blizzard, and I had a peanut butter banana shake. The atmosphere was good, the employees were friendly, the ice cream was tasty, and a very good compliment to our first full day at Fort robinson. Definitely worth stopping at if you're on your way through or staying nearby!

But then my flight got canceled and I had another night. So...hey...here's my chance!! I was going to only have a bowl of Hot & Sour Soup and a bowl of Wonton Soup. But the price of that would have been about a dollar cheaper than the buffet, so I went for the buffet. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of the buffet. If curiosity is driving your decision-making...or a desire for delicious food...choose elsewhere. Genuinely would have preferred instant ramen.
