Located just off Highway 75, this place gives you that classic local diner feel the moment you walk in. The waitresses are always incredibly kind and welcoming--even when every table is full and they're nonstop on their feet. Everything that comes out of the kitchen is delicious, hot, fresh, and clearly made with love. And whatever you do, don't skip the pie--you have to save room for dessert. This has been, and will continue to be, one of our favorite spots to eat around here. read more

Six Mile Cafe - Chicken fried steak - American Near Me - Dawson, Nebraska

Food and service were amazing! I called a head of time and ordered my food. The lady that took it was really nice and when I got there she pointed out the two pie boards so I can see what pies they had. I would have given the place 5 stars but in all honesty, I didn't feel completely welcomed by the other patrons. read more

Seriously look at your calendar now and set the date. Invite some friends and plan for some good home made country cooking! The best Onion rings you can find anywhere. Everything was fresh with a wonderful small town Diner spread. read more

You'd expect a place like this to have hearty, 'down home' food. And they do. But, it's done exceptionally well! The cafe is in what looks like an old house, right off of Highway 75. There's even a little bar area with all the flavors of Malibu rum. I had a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie (one of like 15 pie options). And I had an amazing hamburger. 1/3 lb. patty. Slightly pink (the right way to do it, imo) and very juicy. Add in a side of their excellent potato salad, and I had a memorable meal. I know the flooding has been very bad in 2019, but without the reroute from KC to Omaha, I never would've checked out Six Mile Cafe. If you find yourself near, definitely check it out for a great meal. read more

Six Mile Cafe - Great burger! - American Near Me - Dawson, Nebraska

Headed to Sioux Falls and I29 closed. We are taking a detour lol! Another driver following. I ordered a Reuben ( hope with 1000!). I also heard self breaded onion rings are wonderful. I got a small. Bf had chef salad plus burger patty. Friend ordered bacon cheeseburger plain. He always has bacon on the side. He gives it to his dog... ( so bad). Not my dog. Wow we got our food really quick for being sooo busy. EVERYone stopped here! Haha. My Reuben was fabulous and the Sammy has redeemed my faith in the Sammy. Onion rings we to be small but they looked like a large. They were realllly good too! Bf side burger steak and wow it was huge. And I snuck a bite... so juicy too! Salads were also plentiful and delish. Our friend ate his burger and we munched on some of his fries which looked like home cut. As we left we peeked our heads into the kitchen and complimented the Wizards!!! They were happy to hear! read more

Just good food and great service! We just moved to the area and needed a late lunch/dinner option...super friendly staff and good down home food. read more

The best onion rings hands down! Light, crispy and the flavor was delicious! The pork tenderloin sandwich was the best I ever had. Perfectly thin, breading just right, lettuce, tomato and onions were perfect and the tenderloin was twice the size of the bun. The fried pickles were over the top delicious! They were perfect on their own and didn't even need ranch to dip them in. The service here is great, the food came out fast. I visited here while in vacation from Las Vegas and will definitely come here again before I leave town. read more

Went camping at Indian Cave State park. Drove over to this restaurant. It was so good. My husband says it's the best chicken fried steak he's had in years! I had the BLT.

Six Mile Cafe - Chicken fried steak already half eaten - American Near Me - Dawson, Nebraska

I would not know how the food tasted because no one waited on us! There were several open tables and two groups of two walked in one just ahead of us and one ten minutes after us.They were given drinks and menus while my friend and I were left sitting. Will not return or recommend . read more

We stopped at Six Mile on a trip through this area mostly because it was the only place around for miles that seemed worth visiting. Boy am I glad we did. This is home-style cooking at its best. Something akin to what your grandma probably cooked. Don't expect too much when it comes to decor or fancy things. Just some TVs mounted on the walls and lots of locals chowing down on chicken fried steak, burgers, and homemade pie. Being tourists, we attracted many a look from the folks in the restaurant, but the server kept the smiles and food coming. We filled up quickly on delicious fried treats and so didn't have room left over for pie. Unfortunately, our late lunch meant many of the pies were sold out when we were there. Too bad because they seem to be a popular dish here. read more

You might miss this place, As you pass by on highway 75... because it's not much on the outside. But it's definitely worth the stop. Great food with small town atmosphere. Bar available. Like everyone else, I recommend the chicken fry or the pork loin. Delicious. We like to stop every time we go though....which means we plan it into our 7 hour drive. Happy eating!! read more

A group of 20 had planned to meet at a cafe in Humboldt.. Until the electricity went out in HUmboldt. We called Six Mile Cafe which had tables set up for us by the time we arrived.

And .. they did separate checks. Definitely will return to Six Mile Cafe. read more

Visiting Auburn this week and enjoyed a delicious dinner there tonight with my cousins. My Reuben sandwich was possibly the best I've ever had - excellent quality meat. My husband's chicken fried steak was enormous - took up the whole plate - and it was delicious! My cousins' meals: hamburger steak and hot beef sandwich, were also excellent. We finished off the meal with a tasty piece of homemade pie. The food is very reasonably priced and I would definitely recommend Six Mile. read more
