Hoffman's D'Creamery — Restaurant in Kearney

My wife and I had heard about this place for awhile on a local foodie FB page and since we were in the area we decided to stop and try it out. I'm so glad we did. The food is fantastic and the woman who served us (I believe may be one of the owners) was super nice and took time to speak with us about our visit. We started with some pickle fries and corn nuggets. The pickle fries were by far the best I have ever had. They were sliced long and thin exactly like you would get from a french fry. I had never seen them done this way before but I love it. They were crunchy, flavorful and had a tiny bit of heat on the back end of the seasonings. We will definitely order these again. The corn nuggets were fantastic as well but one of the few items not made in house. Still worth ordering. My wife ordered a mushroom swiss burger. Overall it was good but she would have preferred a little more mushrooms than were on the burger and it was a tad dry but it was still definitely a great burger. The fries were just as good as the pickle fries. Had a nice crunchy coating on them and were outstanding. I had the breaded pork tenderloin and fried potato salad. The tenderloin was easily one of the top 2 tenderloins I have ever had. It was the perfect thickness, had a great crunch, and most importantly was seasoned well which is something some places don't do as well as they should. I regretted ordering the fried potato salad until I tasted it. It seemed weird but it was SOOO good. They are fried potatoes coated in an Alabama White BBQ sauce of sorts. It had a nice tanginess and slightly mustardy flavor. I definitely was sad when I ran out. After discussing their BBQ, we were presented with a small sample of their brisket cubes and pulled pork! OMG! They could easily go head to head with some of the best BBQ's in KC with that pulled pork. It was so moist, juicy, and had the perfect level of smoke to it. I am not normally a pulled pork fan because it can be dry sometimes but not this one! So good! The cubed brisket was superb as well. Big, meaty chunks of brisket that resemble burnt ends without the char. They melt in your mouth as well and didn't even need sauce to make them palatable. I already have about 5 people from my pork tenderloin fan group planning trips soon to partake in this fantastic specimen. Overall the experience was fantastic and I feel this is quite the hidden gem in...

I don’t even know where to begin with this place, so we will start at the beginning. My girlfriend and I came here for breakfast on a Sunday, the atmosphere is nice. According to the thing in the table this place is founded by a guy who “loves drag racing his motorcycle” (it shows in the decor), and the owners love “getting creative with food” which is where the disappointment begins. If you’re looking for a place with food that can only be described as mediocre, at best… then this is the place for you! Service is all but nonexistent here. The orange juice was nothing more than Sunny D from the way it tasted, but it was likely Tropicana (which they charge something like $3.50 for). They claim to use “local meat and eggs”, but the sausage that I got was merely a pre packaged patty that had been cut up and put into the food. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s not local, and it very well could be. However, I have a feeling that much like the breakfast potatoes… it’s probably not local. The food tastes decent, and there is no denial of that on my part, but it is not what you are led to believe in the menu or other reviews. Very basic, Waffle House quality food (though Waffle House might actually be a tad better). Overall, I admit I would eat here again… but I wouldn’t pay for it. The service is lacking (presumably high school girls working their first jobs). Once you get your food you can forget about refills or even asking about the quality of the meal. Girlfriend had to get the attention of our server to get more coffee,and then I didnt even get acknowledged to see if I needed anything… maybe I’m being too critical on this restaurant, but I really don’t think I am. I gave this place 2 stars because it is clear that these folks are trying… but there are a lot of improvements that could be made. Maybe the lunch menu is better, but breakfast is lacking to...

A couple of weeks ago, while on The KC Eats forum, I saw a picture of a burger that struck my fancy. I thought to myself if that tastes as good as it looks, it's worth investigating. So, investigate I did! It was from a place up in Kearney called D'Creamery. So, with nothing better to do tonight, I decided that this burger they called The Gump, should please my palate.

Upon arrival, I go inside where I am greeted, and was explained the order process. You order at the register and they bring you the order to your table. That works for me! Upon looking more closely at menu I see The Famous Double Gump Burger is listed, how interesting!

The Famous Double Gump Burger consists of two 5 oz patties of Angus beef served fully dressed in ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, romaine lettuce, red onion, tomato, with the choice of American, Cheddar, Pepper Jack, or swiss. I chose Cheddar and I subbed onion rings for the fries. The whole package was served on a bun that stood up well to a very juicy sandwich.

Will you just look at the monster that they brought me! I needed a hinged jaw to eat this beast. And it wasn't that it was big in size, it had great flavor. As I was leaving, I told them they need to change the name of that burger to The Jaw Stretcher Special!

Well...
