If this place wasn't 4 hours away I swear I'd come everyday that was the best sandwich I've ever had (the turkey melt tomato)

We stopped in here for dinner on our way across Nebraska. While I didn’t get a picture, we had chicken strips with fries and I had bull fries and onion rings. The portions were large and the food was great. The chicken was hand battered and fresh as were the onion rings and bull fries.

First timers. Wow, food was great, and the Pie is why you need to show up. All the flavors you want. Peanutbutter (cup) cheese cake. Outstanding. Strawberry had the biggest Strawberrys on it. It was so good I almost forgot to take some photos. If anything show up for the pie.

Wonderful food. Wonderful service. Tara took our order. She was very friendly and helpful. Our order came out perfect, exactly as ordered. My husband and I had the same thing, chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. The chicken was perfect, as was the gravy and the servings were generous. The mashed potatoes were authentic mashed potatoes, not instant and they too were wonderful. I devoured my dinner roll and requested a carry out container for the remainder of my meal. My husband wiped his plate clean. When we came in there were only two cinnamon rolls left. I immediately grabbed those when I went back to examine the contents of the refrigerated pies case. We love cinnamon rolls and I will have to come later back to report on those. Two gentlemen were also visiting the pie case at the same time I was looking. They were hoping to find a banana pie, maybe banana cream or peanut butter banana cream and were very disappointed to find it had sold out for the day. It was their favorite. But they assured me they would not be leaving without everyone in their group of four having a slice of pie before they left. I was told they drove 50 miles once a week to eat at T. Walkers. So, of course we also ordered pie to go. I ordered cherry and my husband ordered peach. I'm very partial to fruit pies. As other reviewers have noted this is a great place. It is not "fine dining" but it is mighty FINE FOOD, in a small town diner and I am certain if I were to come back anywhere near this area I would make the effort to come by to eat here again. Very plain clean decor, one wall of booths to the right as you enter, two large semicircular booths at each front side, groupings of tables for large parties down the middle of the room and clusters of tables for four or less elsewhere in the single large room. ***The cinnamon rolls were just as good as the rest of our meal. We heated them up in our microwave the next morning and they were delicious. Just the right amount of density and moisture with plenty of cinnamon and frosting.

My glass is always 1/2 empty so expectations for a small town diner was pretty low. Food was excellent and plenty of it. Place was clean and well kept. I quite enjoyed the place.

Really good home style cooking. Tons of menu items to choose from. Have daily specials. Traveling through Nebraska on I80W. We stopped in for Sunday lunch. Had the turkey and roast beef dinners with coconut pie for dessert. Possibly the most tender & juicy turkey & roast we’ve ever had!!

This place was awesome! Quick meals that were hearty and delicious! The prime rib sandwich is a must! They have a huge selection of pies. I wanted to try them all but ended up getting the raisin sour cream pie and it was to die for! Friendly staff and great prices! If for some reason you find yourself in Gothenburg.. make sure you eat here!

By far, one of the best places we ate on our trip. I had mega club sandwich. Tons of meat and warm and toasty and crazy delicious. One brother had Philly cheesesteak and it was awesome. Other brother had chicken fried chicken and crust was amazing (don't let egg and cracker crust throw you it is amazing). We got two slices of pecan pie and one chocolate cream for road and all amazing. Great, I mean great food!
