Description

A longtime favorite in Kearney, the Cellar is now under new management with a new menu and remodel. However, recent experiences have been disappointing, with long wait times, subpar onion rings, and inconsistent service reported. Despite these setbacks, some diners have had positive experiences, praising the food quality and friendly staff. The burgers, in particular, are highly recommended, with unique toppings like onion rings and thick-cut bacon. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, although prices may be on the higher side. Overall, while there have been mixed reviews, the Cellar remains a popular spot for those seeking hearty American fare and a laid-back ambiance.

Was once one of the best places in Kearney to eat, but since changing owners it has gone down hill fast... food is terrible quality. They have much less variety and are using lower quality ingredients. Stay away!

I used to really enjoy the Cellar, but my recent experiences have been far from satisfactory. After its remodel, we thought we’d give it another shot, but our first impression was not promising; we walked in to see employees smoking right by the entrance. On a positive note, our server, Damon, was fantastic and provided exceptional service. However, the quality of the food left much to be desired. I ordered the chicken fried steak, and the gravy was lacking in flavor, the corn was overcooked and mushy as if it had been microwaved, and the dinner rolls were too hard to be enjoyable. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is because of Damon’s attentive service. They might want to consider investing in a more skilled cook rather than just spending on the remodel.

This restaurant used to be exceptional, but my latest visit was underwhelming. My fiancé ordered a steak, hoping for a top-quality cut given the price, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. I ordered a Bloody Mary, and it fell short of what I've experienced in the past—there wasn't even a garnish! It's unlikely that we'll be coming back.

Everything was exceptional! The service was prompt, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The onion rings tasted just like they did back in the day! I've noticed a significant improvement since a few months ago.
