Enjoy A Sense Of Peace At This Incredible Waterfront Restaurant In Nebraska

We may not have oceans or massive lakes in our beautiful Nebraska, but we still have a few waterfront restaurants with lovely views and delicious food. We have some fantastic reservoirs and rivers in Nebraska, which are excellent for fishing, boating, swimming, and camping - and offer beautiful views for a few bars and grills by the water. But if you’re looking for a fine dining establishment with waterfront views, you’ve got to visit Cunningham’s Journal on the Lake in Kearney, NE.

Cunningham’s Journal on the Lake can be found in the charming little town of Kearney, NE and you can tell by the 4.5-star average reviews on Google that it’s a local favorite and a bucket-list restaurant in Nebraska.

The interior is modern and stylish and the views are incredible, especially around sunset, making it a lovely and romantic place for a date or as a special treat for the family.

If you prefer, you can sidle up to the bar and watch a game on the many flatscreen televisions. The bartenders can whip up something fancy for you, or you can enjoy a regular beer right here.

There’s a wide selection of burgers to choose from. Most are half-pounders and a couple of them are 3/4ths of a pound! Each one of them has that scrumptious charbroiled flavor that any good burger should have.

One of the more popular dishes is the skewers which have beef, chicken, salmon, and shrimp. Grilled to perfection and served on a bed of rice, this is an exotic and flavorful dish that keeps locals coming back for more.

The menu is extremely varied with steaks, salmon, street tacos, wood-fired pizzas, salads, wings, quesadillas, and so much more. Just make sure to save room for the delectable desserts!

The main attraction is the stunning view of the lake which has a fountain in the middle of it. Taking in this serene and relaxing scenery while invigorating your taste buds with the amazing food is an experience everyone should have at least once.
