Nebraska is full of historic restaurants that invite patrons into a dining experience that began well before they were born.
These establishments boast rich history and culture, and remain open due to the delicious food that graces their menus. While there are a handful of Nebraska eateries that have been in business for decades, only one has been open since 1922 and still stands to this day!
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the most historic restaurant in Nebraska is Johnny’s Café located in Omaha. This standout location was built in 1922 and started out with only 8 seats!
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the oldest restaurant in all of Nebraska:
"Johnny’s Café looks and feels like a blast from the past and that’s just the way its Omaha regulars like it. The original owner, Frank Kawa, founded what started out as an eight-seater saloon in 1922, calling the place Johnny’s simply because the name was already on the side of the building. The décor and menu are both befitting of a classic steakhouse, with a wide selection of cuts of beef, as well as seafood dinners and all the traditional fixings."
