It reminds me of a WI supper club; all you can eat salad / soup bar, great service, great entrees. Rare to find the traditional supper club anymore. read more

The good: nice atmosphere, pleasant service. Simple but very fresh and delicious salad bar. Bread was good. The not good: penne pasta is not freshly made nor in house product. "Lobster" was actually imitation crab meat. "Spicy tomato cream" sauce was actually just a moderately thick cream sauce with minimal flavor. In sum: do not get the pasta dishes. Do get the salad bar. Can;t speak to other menu options. read more

Service is as fantastic. Went in during happy hour . Drinks were well balanced , food was fantastic. Salads bar was great and who ever made the beef vegetable soup knocked it out of the park !!!! Elijah our mixologist made the best most balanced drinks I've had in Nebraska. Thank you . Jarret and Ali were also very attentive and made our dinning experience stellar . read more

Walking in and having the smell of steak on a grill was an immediate yes we are I. The right place!! Bartender was the perfect host and server! Drinks were strong but not too potent....(whiskey mule) Prime rib rare..still chilled in the center and seared on the edges. Perfectly prepared. Fresh bead served with a crispy salad started the meal right. Had dessert options but we were to full! read more

This place is so awesome! As a visitor to Kearney, this was one of my favorite restaurants of the trip. First of all - so many gluten free options for gluten free pals like me. And the chef was willing to customize things for me - love that! I like the idea of the salad bar/soup station before a meal - it was yummy and a nice appetizer. Also, the dessert selection was wonderful, I was so excited and it was so delicious that my photo was blurry, LOL! read more

there we're a bunch of lonely dancers when i walked in! also a nice corner store where i was picked up.

right when i walked in there were a bunch of lonely dancers dancing to never ending song. PEAK. the food was awesome too, but you lose 1 point for making conan sad WHERE DID U GO ALLEY ROSE anyway here are alley rose lyrics because it is a MAJESTIC song: I picked you up from the corner store Your eyes were red and your lips were torn So much to say that's subject-sore So much you'd change since you were born You wrapped your fingers around my neck And pulled me into your desperate breath The way you kissed me hot and fast I knew it'd be the last Don't leave me hangin' alone again Don't leave me hangin' alone again Oh, where'd you go, go, Alley Rose? Oh, where'd you go, go, go? You told me, "I'm just so nervous, dear" Well, how the hell do you think I feel? I waited all year at your feet Like maybe you'd love me So Don't leave me hangin' alone again Don't leave me hangin' alone again Oh, where'd you go, go, Alley Rose? Oh, where'd you go, go, go? And I don't even care If it makes me sound insane I ran my fingers through your hair And I thanked God to touch the flame 'Cause I swore necks were made for bruisin' I swore lips were made for lies And I thought if you'd ever leave me That I'd be the reason why And I don't even care If it's just a summer fling If it's all experimental And you go back to safer things But I swore hands were made for fighting I swore eyes were made to cry But you're the first person that I've seen Who's proven that might be a lie So Don't leave me hangin' alone again Don't leave me hangin' Oh, where'd you go, go, Alley Rose? Oh, where'd you go, go, go? Oh Don't leave me hangin' alone again Don't leave me hangin' alone again Oh, where'd you go, go, Alley Rose? Oh, where'd you go, go, go? Don't leave me hangin' alone again I thought that I was your only friend Oh, where'd you go, go, Alley Rose? Oh, where'd you go, go, go? STREAM CONAN NOW read more

Absolutely FANTASTIC 1. Great service. It was just me so I sat at the bar. The bartender was wonderful and made me a delicious Mango Punch 2. I had an appetizer that was as big as meal and was EXCELLENT read more

Alley Rose - Beautiful prime rib burnt ends with gorgonzola - New American Near Me - Kearney, Nebraska

Stopped in here while traveling through town. A very cute restaurant with a throwback steakhouse vibe. Everyone from the young gentleman host to the bartenders were incredibly friendly and helpful. We sat at the bar for a few cold beers before ordering dinner and ended up eating at the bar. Hubby had the ribeye (with potatoes and veggies) and I had the club sandwich with a mac and cheese side. Both choices were very good (although the steak was a bit tough). The mac and cheese was really good and the salad bar that came with the steak entree had some delicious homemade dressings. If you're looking for a nice dining experience, give it a try! read more

Alley Rose - Ribeye with potatoes and veg - New American Near Me - Kearney, Nebraska

This place was recommended to us as "the place" to eat in Kearney. We could see why when we entered. There's a large bar space, a large dining room, a salad bar area, and a unique back room for special events. The owner took time to speak with us about the history and to make Kearney sightseeing recommendations. The restaurant is undergoing a remodel, and the newly upgraded features will help make the restaurant feel more modern. Our server told us prime rib is the go-to for most diners. My husband went with the western burger, and I had the spicy (not really) mac with smoked salmon (also not really). The salad bar was surprising because I thought most everyone agreed we don't need this post Covid, but it's here: a standard salad bar. Definitely check out this place. Our biggest sad is we were too full for the yummy looking desserts baked by the owner's wife. Next time. read more

Alley Rose - the interior of a restaurant - New American Near Me - Kearney, Nebraska

The food, the service, everything about this restaurant is amazing. We have a tradition to meet our cousins for our annual Anniversary dinner. We started with appetizers of Bang Bang Shrimp, and the Prime burnt ends (served with blue cheese crumbles). The salad bar is the best in Kearney, a wide variety of vegetables, and the dressing is delicious. Our main course was the Frutti de Mare penne, and the Barded ribeye Cap steak. The seafood was fresh, and delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection. The best part of the evening was dessert. Do yourself a favor...ask for the Flambé. Fruit prepared and cooked table side, and set aflame. Beautiful presentation, and served over vanilla ice cream. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner so special. read more

A nice salad bar for lunch was wonderful. We waited for a bit waiting to be seated, we did see staff so we seated ourselves, got our salads and started to eat before we saw any staff. Plenty of seating for groups, it's kinda dark but without loud music was pleasant. read more

Alley Rose - Salad self serve - New American Near Me - Kearney, Nebraska

We were in town to see the Sandhill Cranes. After seeing about a half-million cranes, we asked where the best place to have dinner in town was and were told Alley Rose. It was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I went with the prime rib. It was perfectly cooked and delicious. Just an amazing meal. My wife got the shrimp scampi with mushroom risotto and both items were excellent. The waitress was great, attentive but not overbearing. Finally, what a cool, kitschy ambiance. What stole the show, however was the men's room. It was really cool. I tried to talk my wife into sneaking a peak, but she said no. Great place, great food, great service! read more

This restaurant was recommended to me by a team member, who also lives in Kearney, while I was in town on business with a customer. The customer and I had dinner in the lounge area and the food & service were both wonderful. The ambiance is also nice and the location of the restaurant is in a great place. I highly recommend Alley Rose and know the next time I am in town, I will be there again for a wonderful meal and nice friendly conversation. read more

i decided to come here since it was by the corner store. when i walked in, there were a couple lonely dancers by the exit. i decided to order a vodka cranberry - delicious by the way. the service was amazing. my coffee started getting half-cold while i was waiting for my vodka cranberry. when i got my food the worker, bran, said "can we be friends" and i said "are you a maniac??" then he said "i wish you were sober" and i was honestly confused. i decided to go to the exit and finish my half cold coffee. i realized it was february and the flowers hadn't even wilted. i'm thinking about coming back during mid-november since i had a great time. when i was leaving, a nice lady gave me a piece of caramel since i looked scared. overall, this place was amazing. it gave me memories of my family line and somehow, on the way back to the corner store, i found a footnote. read more

I ordered the prime rib medium rare. Steak was cooked perfectly, although I did have to add salt for e tea seasoning. Loved that the entrees come with a soup and salad bar trio. The salad bar was fresh. The vegetable side was cooked in s little too much oil for my preference. Potatoes were cooked perfectly. read more

We had the salad bar for lunch. It was fresh and a good variety of fresh greens, toppings and dressing for $13 each. Ambiance was dark woods and comfortable. Our waitress was Lauren and she cleared our dishes quickly and was attentive. Was a great downtown spot for two weary travelers wandering off the interstate. read more

The best place to eat in Kearney!! Amazing atmosphere, amazing food!! Try the flambé!! Truly a special treat !!

My family and I arrived a little after 6:30 and scored a table inside the bar. My uncle who's from Kearney chose the table especially since it was my first time at the Alley Rose and he thought it offered the best ambiance. We spent the evening enjoying each other's company along with the delicious food. The Ahi Tuna Tacos were a hit! Our experience overall was enjoyable until my family had to interact with the bartender, Chris. I'm not sure if things are done differently here but at all restaurants I've been to if you approach the bar the bartender is more than happy to help you especially if you're ordering a drink. My uncle approached the bar after we'd been waiting some time for two glasses of wine and had a less-than-pleasant interaction with Chris. He brushed it off and we chalked it up to a bad mood. Later on, it started pouring and we decided to have another drink since we were going to wait out the storm. This time I approached the bar and asked if I could get two glasses of wine. Chris looked at me like I was lost and proceeded to say nothing and walk to the cash register. I followed up my ask by saying "Am I inconveniencing you?" he said ,"How long ago did you order the wine?" And I kindly and calmly explained I didn't order the wine from my waitress since she hadn't been back to the table since she was busy helping other customers. He proceeded to ignore me and then when I said something like "It's fine or forget it." He raised his voice and aggressively said "I'll get it!" which is when my aunt stepped in and commented how he was speaking to me. I'm not sure if he was having a bad night or he just doesn't like human interaction but I've never met a bartender less hospitable. I'd return for the food and the experience but if I do I won't be sitting anywhere near the bar. I'd prefer a table in their beautiful dining room instead! If it hadn't been for my experience with Chris then I would of given this place a solid four stars! read more

Love the ambiance of this restaurant. The service was top notch and the food arrived in a timely manner. Very tasty food and portions are very good and I like to eat! The piano and pianist were awesome. Parking on a Friday or Saturday night is a real problem though. Overall we all loved this place. Been here twice now and both times were incredible. read more

This place just gets worse and worse. They changed the menu for the worse which is sad for such an established restaurant in Kearney. I'd rather see them increase prices and maintain quality. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Alley Rose. In 2019, we had our rehearsal dinner at the restaurant, and our wedding reception was also catered by the Alley Rose. Every subsequent visit to Kearney, we have stopped in for a delightful meal. The waitstaff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the ambiance sublime. The food speaks for itself! You won't regret stopping in. read more

We came here for dinner and were very happy we did. The prime rib and steaks were cooked perfectly. The room was elegant and service was attentive. There was a piano and harp player providing pleasant background music. I would have given 5 stars but the wine list is very poor and does not do justice to such fine food. read more

Food was very very delicious. The staff was incredibly nice,helpful,and friendly! If you are a student alley rose burger is right up your alley making it only $5. The blue cheese bacon burger is very good. read more

The only reason this place is getting even 2 stars in because of the drinks, once the waitress FINALLY got our order right. The bartender, Amanda made amazing drinks (5 stars for her) First off, we didn't get menus until 10 minutes in, mind you there was 4 other tables. Our spinach artichoke dip (so simple) was so dried out and the cheese on top wasn't even melted. We ordered the shrimp scampi and both of us had 2 butter wrappers in it. It was so buttery and disgusting. Our waitress never checked in and screwed up everything we ordered. Maybe it was a bad night for them but I definitely don't recommend. read more

First of all the Bar has an awesome atmosphere. With real wood burning fire place, has an extremely cozy vibe. Salad bar Had a lot of home made dishes that you won't find at most Restaurants. My server was a guy and the other waitress I noticed were very attentive and great. I ordered artichoke chicken, my wife ordered pork tacos. This is where things went south. food was lacking any passion or flavor. The the risotto looked like soup. Chicken was basically a sliced breast with artichoke dip and some kind of a glaze and rub on it. Vegetables tasted like burnt grease and salt. Tacos lacked any flavor except a little spice from some sort of a pepper. In summary I didn't t it order the steak, so maybe that's their claim to fame. Not sure. This place has all the makings to be great they just need to get the kitchen sorted out. I would however go back and booze it up there, unless the cook I had became the bartender. read more

Love the Alley Rose! They have an amazing salad bar, great drinks and their menu items are all delicious! My favorite is the spinach & artichoke chicken and risotto! Their steaks are also very good and are always cooked perfectly. read more

Shawn was our server tonight and he lifted the spirits and added laughs to some weary travelers, just in from New Jersey and Montana today to celebrate our daughter's graduation from UNK on Friday. The service was exceptional, the wine and food were fantastic, and Shawn make all of our night with his humor and witty sense of humor and impeccable service. Bravo! We will be back! read more

Stopped by with my kids while traveling though. Our server Erin did a fabulous job! Very friendly and good with kids. My son, who we tend to have to fight to eat, was asking for more of the kids pizza. My daughter had the prime rib and she was in heaven. . Wish we lived closer to come back more often. read more

I travel for work all the time and I am constantly looking for great prime rib. I had looked at reviews and people had said the prime rib at alley rose was good. I ordered the Medium size prime rib rib rare. When I received my prime rib it was the furthest thing from rare. I don't ever send food back due to me working in restaurants for many years. The prime rib was only seasoned on the crust and not the actual meat itself. Very disappointing and would not recommend getting the prime rib to anyone. I will say the redeeming trait of the restaurant was the kind bartender and the blueberry vodka was great. read more

B and myself here earlier today for buffet lunch. In days/times past, was or seemed, as really good choice. Now days...is mediocre. Maybe we and others are getting to experience more handmade food options at restaurants, or appreciating our own home food preps. read more

Restaurant along the main drag located in a building probably an 100+ years old. Lots of wood accents and what appears to be a tin ceiling in a portion of the dining room. We had a big group and there was a good sized room in the back suitable for a group. Lunch can be ordered off the menu or there is a small buffet available. The buffet had a variety of sandwich meats and toppings. The hot bar had three items; two veggies and a chicken dish. There was also a soup and salad bar to choose from. Overall, the food was adequate, but nothing out of the ordinary. Manager and staff were friendly and service was good. read more

We came during the happy hour and the beer was very reasonable. Service was great throughout. Salad bar was fine with good dressings. I ordered the 8 oz prime rib, And it and it was done to perfection as medium rare, but I didn't find it particularly flavorful. It was mostly tender with a few gristely spots. The fries were nothing to write home about though. My husband had the ribeye, and it had good flavor and was also done correctly. The sides were a little sparse in quantity, and there were a few more gristely bites than usual in the steak, but it had a good flavor overall. read more

We used to go to this restaurant when I was young and it was called the pepper mill. We loved it then and I love it now! The meal was amazing! My husband had the chicken fettuccine carbonara and he loved it. I had the prime rib and it was the best!!! The service was great and everyone was so friendly! This will definitely be a place we will go to again! read more

Soo disappointed, I was really looking forward to trying this place. The crab cakes and salad bar were good... I should've ended it there. But I ordered the Americana casserole which was super dry and had no seasoning. Then the smoked old fashioned tasted like a Shirley temple. No alcohol in my drink or my friends mojito, so I told the waitress when she finally deigned to come to our table, and she took it to the bartender and said they would take $5 off. Then the manager came over and tried to convince me that there was alcohol in it...I told her after I dug all the ice out, and the mashed up maraschino cherries, the drink was nothing but syrup. She said we should've let them fix it instead of sending it back. The waitress never came around for me to ask her to fix it so I don't know how I could've done that!! read more
