Shady Bend Cafe - Grand Island

Just ate at the Shady Bend, with a group of 14. Services was excellent. Kept the breakfast buffet full. A old fashion family cafe. Something we need more of.

Had the chicken fried chicken it was the best I have ever had. For dessert I had the rice pudding. It was the best. Our waiter was very pleasant and helpful. This is the best restaurant in Grand Island in my IMO. Reminds me of cafe's we had around in the 50's. Can not recommend any other place to eat in Grand Island , Ne. The chicken fried chicken was a special not on the menu. Will continue to eat there as often as possible and if I have a bad meal I will let you know. No fear of that happening.

Delicious home cooked food in a quaint old location is located at the intersection of Nebraska's Highway 30 and Shady Bend Road, Grand Island. Historically a gas station for travelers of yesteryear, it is important enough in history that when it came time for a new one the intersection of Shady Bend Road and Highway 30 the road made a curve around this landmark. Now turned into a local cafe, the food is delicious in generous portions for very reasonable prices. Open for breakfast and lunch from 5 AM until 3 PM. Evenings open are Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. See photo for open times beginning January, 2019. If you want a delicious taste of homemade cooking Shady Bend Cafe is a must! By the way, their homemade pies have a deliciously huge reputation in this area.

A historically registered building, it has great ascetics. The people there are friendly, service quick, food is tasty and good value! I will definitely go back!

Great food, quick friendly service, quirky atmosphere- all a definite win. Kids and adults alike were happy. Great that they have all-day breakfast!
