We got there about a half hour before closing. Im kinda aware they want to get out after working all day. But the staff was friendly and no pressure to get going. Others were at the bar. The food was good. Just a little dry, but it was the very end of the day. Will try them again next time we are in the area.

You absolutely have to save room for the peach Cobbler! Best I’ve ever had! Also try the spicy mango drink!

A bit pricey. The service was good. When my steak was vastly under cooked for how I requested it they gave me a few bucks off and put it back on the fire. However, it was still undercooked and not as tender as I would have liked.

The employees are nice! I will come back. The only thing bad is I wish the had better ketchup. It was a little watery.

Very nice family environment. Coleslaw and Ribeye were great. Would have been 5 stars if they offered rice as a side🙂

Pretty not bad! Like a doppelganger to Texas Roadhouse. But the "middle of nowhere Nebraska" version. Atmosphere was pleasant, staff was nice, service was fast. Albeit on a Tuesday evening while road tripping back to Denver. Worth a stop for a good sit down meal right off of I-80.

I ordered the ribs and I count not believe how good they were and the portion size. I ordered a rack and probably got a rack and 1/3 rack. This big eater was very happy!

We ordered a pound of wings and 2 bison burgers. Wings were salty as heck and the biaon burgers were dry and tastless . Do not waste your money or time here. Burger King has a better burger. As for the serves , the hottest did well but the waiter never refilled our drinks. Restaurant look great but at is it.

I have been here several times. I love their pulled pork sandwich. The fries are shoestring and always tasty. The main reason I come here is for the BBQ sauce they have available.

The food was too good and they should dial it back because all the other restaurants in town will have to close. ;)Honestly, we had an incredible time. The drinks and the atmosphere are unbeatable, and the menu felt just adventurous enough.Well definitely be back.

My family and I were traveling through on a long road trip and decided to skip the fast food places and get a decent meal for dinner. This was the perfect stop. My wife and I got great steaks (cooked perfectlyand the kids were happy too! They loved the peanuts at the table while we waited for our meal to be prepared.

Hostess lacked hospitality and server took forever to come to our table. After that they did a good job and the food was mediocre. I expected better tasting food for the price point!

Do not order the rib eye...its very thin. Good happy hour. Prime rib is awesome and so is the service. Happy hour ends at 5 pm.

Went to whiskey creek for my bday. Good food. Service was okay but the staff is not honest & Managent sucks. When our waitress took my card for payment she came back and said machine wouldnt read my card. I paid with another card for my bf and i. After I left I noticed the first card was charged near $200.00 for another table so the waitress lied about my card not working. My funds were placed on a 10 day hold and whiskey creek did nothing to make up for this. If you want to be charged for another table and lied to about it go to whiskey creek.

Dinner for two on a Saturday night...Wait time 25-30 min.Hostesses: friendly and would even stop to bus some tables on their way back to the hostess podiumService: We got everything we needed but it wasnt memorable.Food: thats where my 4 stars come in, I had the prime rib, seasoning aside, the actual cut was very tough, had a lot of tendons, it lacked its buttery texture. However, it was very well seasoned, didnt need the jus. Baked potatoe was creamy and buttery.

Ive always stopped at Whiskey Creek for years due to travel and have always enjoyed the steaks however the 12oz ribeye was the worst steak Ive ever had from you. Your quality has gotten so low and Ive observed it over the past number of years which is why your restaurant s are closing. You must be using Darden Restaurants playbook because they thoroughly suck now too. When Texas Road House opens in Kearney,NE you will be eliminated there too. How sad that your greed has overcome integrity

Waiter had an attitude from the minute that we walked in he acted like he had better things to do than wait on people.The baked potato soup was salty!When he brought the bill my husband ask for a senior or Military discount and he turned and left the table like we were going to bite him.He returned, no discount, when we ask again he said we should have ask sooner. In a raised voice he said to my husband to just hold on, grabbed the money he had put on the table and left. Came back with a discounted ticket and change. Never spoke a word to us; left. Never said another word to us. When we walked out no one was in site . WE WONT BE BACK!My husband is a very proud Vietnam Veteran and was wearing his had that indicates his service.

Food is great...management and customer service are NOT!!!Two years ago my husband wanted to have his birthday celebration at Whiskey Creek. I called weeks in advance and they took a reservation for our group of 22. When I arrived 30 minutes early to set up Emily said they had just seated people in that section (although there were lots of other tables openand said, "They will be done by the time you need that space!" No one eats that fast at a sit-down restaurant. After waiting 15 minutes past our reservation time I called Skeeter Barnes and they said, we will gladly accommodate you and your 20 guests!! I said we will be there in 10 minutes. So we moved our party.FF 2 years and hubby chooses Whiskey Creek again. I called and was told its first come first served by a very rude young man and he hung up on me (its 3:30 in the afternoon not rush. Guess they have lost my business forever! Skeeter Barnes will save the day again!!

The wait staff, though obviously pretty new at the game, were completely courteous and friendly.The food came out in a decent time frame and was hot and exactly how we ordered it.The house Margherita was pretty weak, almost just green sugar water, but other than that, all was good.I will be coming back.

Excellent flavor in the Smoked Brisket ( no need for sauce). Grilled veggies-zuchinni/squash/ mushrooms/red bell peppers firm and delicious, red skin mashed potatoes with white gravy very good. Dinner partners Branding Iron steak ( top sirloindelicious. Try the decadent Possum Pie with pecans sprinkled over graham crust covered in cream cheese, rich chocolate and whip cream finished w/ more pecans. Our server Braydon was attentive and made great suggestions!

Stopped in here four years ago and had the wood-fired bacon wrapped shrimp. stopped here the last two nights before getting back on the road and the shrimp is STILL the best anywhere. Gentleman next to me got the wood-fired salmon tonite...I will be getting that on my next trip through!! It looked and smelled amazing.

It is a rarity i give five stars, but I was very impressed with the food, service and prices. The waitress was peppy and kind. The Prime Rib Sliders were T & T (tender and tasty), and I didnt use up all my allowance paying for it. Dont be a knuckle-headed goober and drive by this place.Update: After my first glowing review, I stopped here with my family on a Friday night a few weeks after my first review. The service was very slow and along with the bonehead people near our table swearin up a storm, the visit was less than enjoyable. The food was fine, but the experience was not fun.

Service was great. She seemed pretty stressed.. all the servers did to be honest. She did awesome though. The food was pretty much inedible though. Barely had a few pieces of pork out of my sandwich and it was like chewing greasy rubber. Girlfriend had the same experience. It was bad. Onion bloom seemed okay until you got a little closer to the sauce cup which then didnt even feel like it was cooked all the way.Not coming back due to this to be honest..

Steak was delicious! Waitress was fairly good.2 stars you ask. Took for ever to get food with what looked like a not busy restaurant. Pulled pork bbq sauce is too spicy for my son but I thought it was good. However the sandwiches looked rushed when put together.The primerib sandwich was a soggy mess and the aujus was absolutely disgusting. Fries were good when the came out.Restrooms were Meh slightly on the messy side but one person could mess that up at any time. Manager did not come around like they used to.Made a point to stop here (from our return trip from the blackhillsas we always love this restaurant when we make it to town but wish we wouldnt have wasted our time now and will probably find a different restaurant next time we stop in Kearney.
