We needed an evening bite to eat and chose 411 Restaurant & Lounge. We were glad we did! 411 is named for its address on West Norfolk Avenue and it sits on the south side of a downtown street. It has very attractive outdoor seating with ample room and some privacy on half of it. We considered asking for an outdoor table but opted for indoor. We were promptly greeted and seated, and our seating location (at small round two tops in the back of the restaurant - near the kitchen and bathrooms) and that's one negative hit I'm giving this review. There were better locations open but given the 8:00 pm seating I decided not to push the issue. I'm sure they would have accommodated. However, a host needs to recognize that seating a group of four at two two-tops is not optimum and when four-tops are available they should forgo their server distribution methods and provide a better seating experience without the diner requesting it. Now let's get to what great about 411 - the people, the atmosphere, and the food! Their menu has good variety and creative options. We went with burgers and that menu gives you six different options. We went with the Classic, The 411, and The Jake Burger. All were very good with top rating going to the Jake Burger - Bacon, Fried Jalapeno, Fried Onion, and Pepper Jack Cheese. I asked for my Classic to be prepared medium, and it was medium well at best - so another negative hit on the review. The presentation of the burgers is exceptional with shiny Brioche buns on an ample plate, combined with excellent french fries - we went with the standard fry and the sweet potato fry, and both were very well prepared and seasoned. Fries are often where restaurants loose points with me, because their just an afterthought they throw on the plate. 411 treats them seriously and uses excellent product and preparation to do so. I also ordered a side salad with blue cheese dressing. This was outstanding - both beautiful in presentation and delicious in taste! Five stars on the side salad! The cocktails were very well made, and the bar staff were pros at their job. The attention to detail and training of the bartenders and servers is evident. They have a good kitchen staff also. I was able to watch them from our position in the restaurant (a plus of the otherwise negative seating location!). Overall, 411 Restaurant & Lounge is a great go-to for dining in Norfolk, Nebraska. Give it a try!

Great food and warm. Love going there if we don't want to cook. Amazing service too!!read more

OMG, I haven't had a burger this good in a really long time! There were so many things to choose…read morefrom on the menu, but I had to try the chicken fried hamburger, what a fantastic idea for a burger.... And it's comes with a side of country gravy just like chicken fried steak, how could I not try a special burger like that.... And I was not disappointed! It was wonderful, so juicy and flavorful, with the breading surrounding a hand made patty, dipped into that thick, got peppery gravy.... So, so, so good. My wife chose the mushroom Swiss Burger and tots. She couldn't finish the whole burger, it was a big Burger with lots of tots, so I got to try it. She had be reaching about it all the time we were eating, as was I about my burger, and I wasn't sure I could eat the small little sliver she had left but she gave it to me to try and, wow.... It was really as good as what I got. So much cheese and mushrooms, and the burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. If you find yourself out near Fremont Nebraska, close to a one horse town named Nickerson, with a bar and grill named the One Horse Saloon, stop and eat.... Don't pass this place up. Btw....as we were getting ready to leave, the couple next to us ordered ribs, and I almost say back down for another meal. So many great choices.... We have got to come back here.

Their Bloody Mary was named the best in the state by Absolút Vodka. Ask for it extra spicy if you like a good kick. Bartenders know obscure shots and drinks so nothing is off the menu. Named in the Top 100 College Bars for Bros by BroBible, momentos of USD's past are displayed behind the bar. The booths are small, but every seat tells a story as students have carved their initials into the wood. The outdoor patio is spacious and a great place to hang out when it's warm. They do not serve food and take cash only (there is an ATM inside). However, you are allowed to bring food from other restaurants inside to eat. You can also purchase a mix-and-match six pack to-go. No stop in Vermillion is complete without a drink at Carey's.

Niobrara Nebraska is a tiny town, but with the rivers and rolling hills it's pretty. The restaurant didn't look promising from the street but when you drive around the back it had a cute entrance. Inside is smallish with a bar on one side of a half divider and tables on the other. The interior decor was definitely sportsman themed with taxidermy animals everywhere and an antler chandelier. But it was clean and cute. Great wooden bar and tin ceiling. There were maybe 10 people in here on a Tuesday night and several looked like regulars watching Wheel of Fortune at the bar. The service was good, one bartender who was also waiting tables but I didn't wait long for anything I ordered a sweet tea which had a weird flavor so I exchanged it for a Coke which was also weird so I didn't drink it. I ordered a bacon burger but since they only had American cheese, I got mine sans cheese. That said, the burger was good. It was big and really juicy and the thick sliced bacon was a nice addition. I ordered cheese curds instead of fries and they were also good. Definitely not a gormet place, but it was solid. And considering it's the only thing in Niobrara Nebraska, it's great compared to the competition! Edited to add that the women's restroom smelled weird, there were two stalls but one was out of order. The stall had two swinging doors with a two inch gap right down the middle. And the doors were so close to the toilet that they literally slapped me on my ass on my way in!
