Sutherland is one of those small Nebraska towns that has a lot to offer, but people tend to drive right by it. The popular Sutherland Reservoir State Recreation Area is nearby, and it's just a short hop off of I-80 and an even shorter hop off of Hwy 30. Next time you're in the area, take some time to stop at Ozzie's General Store, a delightful small-town gas station, convenience store, and diner.

From the outside, Ozzie's looks just like lots of other roadside gas stations and convenience stores. But this store is hiding some fun (and delicious) surprises inside.

The store has all of the standard convenience store items. You can stroll in to pick up some sodas and snacks for the road if you're traveling...

...And maybe grab a cup of hot coffee and a fresh donut or two from the bakery case.

But Ozzie's has way more to offer. The store also features gifts, small home decor items, and other little bits and bobs that make it a delight to slow down and do a little shopping.

Like many great highway stops, Ozzie's also boasts a classic diner inside. You can expect to find standard diner fare, but it's cooked to order and prepared with a focus on quality and great taste.

Place your order at the counter, then take a seat in the cozy dining area and prepare for a delicious and memorable meal.

Ozzie's serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so no matter what time of day you visit, you'll find something tempting to please your palate.

There are standard menu items that you'll be able to order anytime you visit, like a variety of burgers, sandwiches, and salads.

But we highly recommend trying the daily special. There's a new one every day, and all of them are positively delectable.

The chicken-fried steak dinner is one of those classic Midwestern dishes that Ozzie's does perfectly. The combination of the crispy-coated meat and the fluffy mashed potatoes is totally unbeatable.

Whether or not you decide to order a meal, you don't want to miss Ozzie's selection of soft-serve ice cream treats! Sundaes, shakes, floats, and more are just waiting to satisfy your sweet tooth.

This is one convenience store that's definitely worth a stop whenever you're in the area. Whether you need to pick up a last-minute gift, get some road-trip snacks, or sit down for a tasty and filling meal, this is one place that's got it all. Visit the official Ozzie's General Store website, and don't forget to follow Ozzie's on Facebook to get the scoop on the daily specials. Learn more about the town of Sutherland and plan your visit!
