Lost Way Brewery is a fun and friendly brew pub in Holdrege, Nebraska. We received an overview of…read morethe offerings upon entering and our credit card was swiped to start a tab. We opted for the $11 flight and received a healthy sized glass of each of the eight offerings. I enjoyed the Strawberry Melon Wheat and my husband liked the Loop Valley Lager and PB Porter. The flight was an economical way to sample the brews. A BBQ Food truck was parked out front and it was doing a brisk business with bar patrons. Our pork bbq nachos were a great compliment to our brew flight. We enjoyed our stop in Holdrege.

Colby, Kansas, March 2026…read more This restaurant is downtown Colby and has street parking that is all free. Inside has very few tables. In the center they have a long table with iced tea, water, plates, silverware, and condiments. You kind of help and serve yourself. There is no wait staff. When you want to order you go to the bar to get your drinks and place your food order. The menu consists of Salad, a few appetizers and pizza and burgers. This place is quite busy for a Thursday night at 7 PM. I ordered boneless wings and cheese bread. My husband ordered a Hawaiian pizza. He had a Coke which comes with free refills and I ordered a dark Porter draft called Frankie. Very light in taste. Undertones of vanilla and sweetness. It was not very cold. So I had to add ice. I did try the pomegranate wheat beer and that was bitter cold. Just the way it should be. The food came quickly. I had eight large boneless chicken wings. I went with barbecue flavor and it was accompanied with large cup of blue cheese. The breading on the chicken was very good. The chicken, however, was extremely tough. Very hard to chew. The small pizza is extremely small. I've seen kids pizzas larger than this. My cheesy bread was not bread at all. It was a small cheese pizza with the sauce served in a cup in the middle of the pizza. The flavor was horrible. It was tough and chewy. The crust was so hard. It really was difficult to eat. There are two dogs, both are labradors. The yellow one is Barley and she is so extremely friendly. The black one is kind, but not ad outgoing. Her name is Maize. I was so excited about coming here. Such great reviews. I hate to be the sour one, but the food here that I tried was not good at all. The beer had good flavor and would have been perfect, if it had been served cold. My suggestion would be for staff to turn the water and tea station to the other side so that when the line at the bar gets long to order, you don't have to apologize for trying to get your drink. Such a simple fix would make a big difference. I also think if they put the T station and condiment station in a different location, they could probably get at least five more tables in the restaurant. As busy as it became, that might be beneficial. I give this three stars.

Gella's Diner is an absolute gem in Hays…read more From the moment you walk in, the beautiful décor sets the tone--warm, stylish, and way more inviting than you'd ever expect from a brewery‑diner combo. The service matches the atmosphere perfectly: friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help you navigate their creative menu. The food here is where things really take off. The steak & blue cheese salad was outstanding--fresh, bold, and packed with flavor. The ahi tuna poke nachos were another knockout, the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you leave. And if you're a burger person, this place is dangerous in the best way. Their burgers are consistently amazing: juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Of course, you can't come to Gella's without enjoying their great beer, brewed right on site. Every pint feels like it was crafted to pair perfectly with the food. If you're in Hays, Gella's is a must‑visit. Creative dishes, great beer, beautiful space, and service that makes you feel right at home. An easy five stars.

Good (garlic) fries although there wasn't any taste of garlic. Service was slow but friendly because this place was bustling.

Update time…read more Defiance is still good for Hays, but now it's an even better place to be. The brewery realized, that not only do the locals like drinking its beer, but they also like hanging out.

I got the hot mess burger and it wasn't hot, just a mess! The cheese sauce was curdled and didn't have much flavor. The bacon and onions were great! The burger itself was a little overdone - didn't come out medium as requested. And the tots were underdone, crispy on the outside but still a little uncooked on the inside. They must bake them instead of fry them, but I'm just guessing. It was all edible but just not exciting. Sometimes when you see a five-star rating your expectations are too high, and that might have been the case here.

A lady that was working the bar stopped and said " you need to order everything at the bar". We said ok and walked up there. Asked her how the pretzels were and if they were homemade. Apparently that was the wrong question to ask! She replied "well someone made them". She said they were "very good" so I ordered one with my drink. This whole time her demeanor was very rude. I shrugged it off as she was having a bad day. No worries. When she brought the pretzel out it looked as though it was freezer burnt and several years old and shriveled. Tasted like cardboard mixed with rubber. No taste. When this "waitress" returned with my buddies food i mentioned the pretzel was not good. she immediately snatched it off the table, said "Perfect!", walked back to the cash register, grabbed our credit cards we had for our tabs, walked back to our table and said, " i took the pretzel off and im closing both tabs". I've never been treated like this, and if i ever treated a customer like this it wouldn't end well for me! very sad!
