Country Cafe — Restaurant in Tyndall

Dearest readers, I recount my recent experience at the Country Cafe nestled in the charming Niobrara, Nebraska. A building's exterior, reminiscent of an office for a shipyard or quarry, greeted me upon arrival. Yet, I soon discovered that the interior boasted a thoughtfully curated decor, a competent execution of the intended atmosphere.

With the assumption that this was a breakfast haven, I entered with eagerness, only to be disappointed to learn that omelettes were absent from their menu. An unorthodox substitute awaited me as well, for my scrambled eggs arrived adorned with slices of Kraft singles, rather than the anticipated shredded cheese. Such deviations from expectation may, indeed, test one's patience.

While the staff exhibited a friendly demeanor, extending their warmth to both familiar faces and newcomers alike, I must confess my disquietude with certain patrons. Alas, as I savored my eggs and sipped my coffee, my ears were mercilessly subjected to the ignorant drivel emanating from a neighboring table. The conversation meandered aimlessly, encompassing a troglodytic comprehension of Bitcoin, the inane belief that knives claim more lives than firearms, and then, dear reader, the ultimate affront—the brazen resolution to eradicate all Dreamers now that they have reached adulthood. Such vitriolic discourse, I dare say, nearly compelled me to rise from my seat and confront the audacious group.

Thus, should one find solace in light-hearted breakfast banter concerning hate crimes, mass murder, and musings on cryptocurrency, this establishment may prove to be to their liking. Regrettably, I am not among those appreciators. Consequently, I bestow upon the Country Cafe a modest rating of two stars, reserving such acknowledgment solely for the amiable staff and their impeccable attention to detail in the realm of decor.

Come to the Country Cafe for more than the food . The cuisine is home style cooking in a relaxed atmosphere. For supper I had a cheeseburger and side salad that was ample in size and great on taste. I arrived at 6:15, 45 minutes before closing and was greeted with a warm smile and menu from the server. The next morning I arrived for breakfast at 6:30, 30 minutes after opening and recieved the same warm greeting from a different server, so the friendlyness you recieve is a culture and not an act. Breakfast was hearty bacon, eggs ,hashbrowns, with toast and coffee for $12.90. While waiting I enjoyed listening to banter between some local regular customers about who was a better cowboy star, John Wayne, or Jimmy Stewart, or Robert Mitchum and so on. In the end "The Duke" came out on top but not by much. The decor is tastefully eclectic with a different kitchen table and chair set for each customer, no two are alike. I like that you can try a different setting each time you visit. The restaurant and bathroom are clean and with seating for 40 or more people there is always an open place to sit. Bring cash or a check because credit cards are not accepted. All in all it was a delightfull experience and I recommend you visit it when...

On June 19, 2022, I stopped ate at this place. It was clean, with nice interior. The food was good, but expensive. Wow, it was as expensive! I had their “full breakfast” which included 3 slices of bacon, 2 eggs, and 4 slices of toast. I asked if they could swap a couple pancakes for the toast. The question was met with a flat answer “for an up charge” (of $2.00). I had orange juice, in an 8oz. glass ($3.00).

Breakfast cost me $16, plus tip. I stood at the counter to pay cash for ever. A customer felt sorry for me and went into the kitchen to roust out the help, who’d already seen me there and acted like I didn’t exist.

I’m used to small town cafe’s being friendlier AND the price not being higher than some high-fluting place in the big city. I ate in three places within 15 miles of this joint and ALL were...
