Visit Nebraska: Alpine Inn

While in Nebraska, I stumbled upon a blurb in a magazine about the Alpine Inn, and how the restaurant is not only famous their Fried Chicken, but also for the raccoons that come out to feed on leftover scraps.

Intrigued, we went there for lunch one day.

Fried Chicken

Onion Rings

Cheeseburger

Chicken Tenders

Popcorn Shrimp

The menu is limited and no frills - lots of fried foods, burgers, hot dogs.  The fried chicken was indeed good.  And the servers were very friendly.

The real bummer was that we didn't get to see any raccoons!  They are nocturnal creatures, so we didn't think about that as we drove there to have lunch (I did see raccoons out and about in Canada in the middle of the day, so them being asleep while we were having lunch was not something that crossed my mind).

So - if you go to Alpine Inn, be sure to visit at dusk or later!
