If you're ever in Wood River I'd recommend eating here rather than driving to Grand Island or…read moreKearney. One of the things I like most about this place is the local feel. Every one knows each other and they talk about sports or their farms. The food is not anything extravagant or over the top, just expect to eat some average American Food such as Hamburgers and Steaks. And if you're from out of town the locals are very friendly and nice. Nebraskans love to talk!

Jesus behind the bar doing what he does pouring up and mixing drinks meanwhile there's people playing billiards & just kicking it. Jesus let me know that Gillies is the only bar that has Tequila, I'm a tequila drinker and so it was just made to be. Drinks were good, ended up buying a $1 roll the dice for a random shot game and it tasted like coffee so that was a surprise. Bar closes too early though, yall gotta keep it open for like another 2 hours yall closed right when we were just getting started

The smoked pork burrito is massive, could feed three people, and is very delicious. Get the pork burrito, even if your judgement says otherwise. Split it with someone! It's the kind of thing that will cure tomorrow's hangover today. Saturday was a bit noisy/boisterous, but the general atmosphere was friendly. I did not share any of the pork with the dog!

My wife and I visited the Sportsman Bar for Valentines day. The deal was two 12oz cuts of prime…read morerib, salad bar, four jumbo shrimp (two per person) and two single serving bottles of wine for $30. The prime rib was very good, the jumbo shrimp were about as big as I have ever seen and the salad bar is awesome. The salad bar was more of a pasta bar than salad as the usual accoutrement for salad wasn't there (croutons, cucumbers, bacon bits etc) but the homemade pasta selections were excellent. I had a crab bowtie pasta that was made with real crab rather than the fake stuff you would normally find in this part of the country. The prime rib was more medium than medium rare (I always order rare or medium rare) but had excellent flavor so no biggie. I had the hash browns and a fresh baked roll as well. All in all an excellent meal and a great value. There were a few other couples we were with who eat here religiously and they said everything else on the menu is just as tasty and excellent. The service was a tad slow but not enough to get upset about. They were a bit busy but not enough to explain the slower service. Anyway I'm being picky but the service and the medium steak is why I opted for four stars instead of five. I will most definitely go back and tell others that this place overall is great!

We weren't expecting much but didn't care. As it was right at 9pm, kitchen cutoff, they were polite and said we can do pizza. So we ordered a large supreme. It was actually really good pizza. I do recommend.
