Small Town Eats

You might think that in order to get some amazing food, you’ll have to go to some fancy restaurant in the city.  But! I know differently.  Growing up in Odell we would have to drive over an hour just to get to an Applebee’s.  Therefor we would instead drive to one of the nearest towns and eat there.  So over the years I have come up with my favorite small towns to eat at in Southeast Nebraska. (And in my opinion, they're all better than Applebee's :) )  Here’s the list:

5. Side Trek Bar and Grill-Harbine, NE
If it’s a Thursday night, and your friends are going out to eat, you can just about guarantee they’re headed to Harbine for wings night!  Therefore if you want to try it out, head to this town of 49 on a Thursday.

4. The Salty Dog-Steele City, NE
There isn’t too much in this town besides the bar, but the food and atmosphere is fantastic! The best night of the week to go is definitely Thursday—Mexican food night (Looks like you'll have to make the decision between Harbine or Steele City though!).

3. Legends-Clatonia, NE
This recently opened restaurant is definitely worth a trip! It’s not just an ordinary small town bar, but actually a very nice restaurant complete with amazing chicken and a salad bar.

2. Criner’s Corner-Endicott, NE
If you like pork chops, than you absolutely need to visit the little town of Endicott!  I love pork chops, and this bar makes the absolute best I have ever had. EVER.

1. The Kross Eyed Kricket-Odell, NE
Of course I have to make my town #1 --because well it is the best :)   Visit this bar, and you’ll receive the greatest service around from the Fringer sisters, oh and they also make the greatest cheesy potatoes!
