“ Ye Old Time Saloon is now the Swingin Door Saloon. The staff is friendly and the menu looks great. I stopped in on a long ride and just got a beer, but the food in the air smelled great. They have specials and I think a Sunday buffet. ”
“ Very decent place to grab a bite while close to big lake not a far drive at all. Food was good freshly made had the home fries. If I get this way again will definitely hit it again but next time catfish will definitely be my next meal. It's a family ran business. You really need to read up it's history aperntly it's the oldest running bar in nebraska. My buddy has a place at big lake and eats here all the time. ”

“ Drove from Weston yesterday, well worth the drive food and service was excellent. Went back for the third time after being over charged by the waitress the last visit. Went back on Friday the 6th of December, waitress again over charged us by 9.00 on two burgers, if you need to charge non-local people good luck we are never coming back ”
“ We try and make it to once a week. The chicken gizzards and livers caught our eye. Now we make a special trip down there just to order those and then we go sit by the river. It’s always a trip well worth it. Never had a bad meal yet. Thank you. ”
