Last day here kearney trip, I would have a good steak in town. still the sun high 3pm, there are few customer inside the restaurant, but as soon as I sit, one big group came in. the resraurant is calm, oldy nice ambience. I ordered Prime rib 16oz. come with fresh salada bar and garlic bread is so nice. Prime rib is very tender and jucy.and tasty! I usualy 10oz may be just enough. I thought 16oz is too big for me.. However very easly have them all.

Went with a group of 6 friends. Magnus was a very attentive server. The young woman playing the piano was great. We had a good conversation with delightful music in the background. Salad bar was good along with the food. We'll be back!

The restaurant is cozy and the food is delicious. I am in Kearney for school and stop here before moving back home tomorrow. We stop here and not regret at all. The prime rib was amazing and Ahi tuna taco was also delicious.

What a neat place to visit. I saw a review about their buffet and decided to give them a try. There are lots of choices for the salad bar and nice options for hot foods. It's worth getting off interstate for.

I’VE FINALLY FOUND ALLEY ROSE! It took long but at least i don't have to worry where alley rose went, went, went. But then i looked in a mirror and i looked like a jigsaw :( the food was so good i almost found heaven it was fun to people watch while Eating. Before i left i stood at the exit for a few seconds thinking if i should leave and make it to the other side, i knew i would return for the holidays and i did. Anyway why’d you leave Conan gray hanging alone? :( not cool

We discovered this gem of an establishment while on our way to vacation in the west, and we enjoyed it so much we stopped again a week later on our way back east. Both times we got to enjoy the service of some amazing staff, listen to live music provided by a talented young lady alternating between harp and piano and also some really good food. I was particularly happy with my end cut prime rib. It was both an amazingly well selected piece of beef and exceptionally prepared. On the way home I decided to try the almond crusted salmon which again, was an exceptional dish in my opinion... but I just can't stop thinking about the prime rib. Anyway, the staff from the front of the house to the back were friendly and accommodating, I thought the prices were more than fair, the atmosphere was pleasant on both sides (the more formal side and the bar side) and the food was great. We'll probably never go through Kearney again without stopping here for a meal.

I ordered the smallest prime rib and it was huge and tasted really good especially with the horseradish sauce I requested. The salad bar was good too. This has a very nice, laid back atmosphere.

The salad bar is way better than the term salad bar can even describe. Dinner is a little pricey but absolutely worth every bite, and the lunch buffet is definitely worth the trip. I live 3 hours away and make it a point to stop here whenever I can!
