The Barn Door - Ceresco, Nebraska

The Barn Door
Ceresco, Nebraska
May 19, 2012

For this week’s outing, we had the pleasure of some extra company from Nan and Pops, Keith’s parents.  We chose the Barn Door in Ceresco, just about 10 minutes north of Lincoln.  We watched a storm roll in as we drove out there, and then listened to some heavy rain, thunder and lightning during dinner.  By the time we were done, the storm had passed and we drove home with a sunny sky.

The Barn Door was an old barn converted into a restaurant, but looked modern inside.  They had a nice menu selection.  Ethan had the kids’ chicken strip basket with “smiley fries,” Maddie had spaghetti and garlic bread; Keith had a roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes, and Shelley had the soup and salad combo with ham and bean soup, and a Ceasar salad.  Nan and Pops both had the fish and chips.  Everyone enjoyed their meal.  We were proud of Maddie for breaking out of her chicken strip funk.  Shelley’s salad left a little bit to be desired...it was just romaine lettuce, sliced black olives and Ceasar dressing, but the homemade soup made up for it.  

With a grand total of less than $50 for all 6 of us, it was one of our best bargains to date.  And, Shelley has learned her lesson not to order salads at small town restaurants.
