Chatterbox Brews

How ADORABLE is this place?! It's truly a hidden gem in this small town. It looks like a place that would be in Omaha, Tekamah, Nebraska. (I apologize if I just spelled the name of the town wrong. I'm not from here.) My group of 6 stopped on our way home from Omaha. My parents have been there before (they were with us) but my husband and I have never been. There's a bar side, and a restaurant side. We sat in the restaurant and had the nicest waitress in the world. I found out she went to high school with my parents. 10 beers on tap. Full bar. I had water. Not sure what NA options were available.Menu is very small. Maybe, 7 choices? No kids meal. Not a family-friendly place. They have an outdoor area. Today was a little too cool & windy for us to enjoy it, but inside by the sunny windows was perfect. Hubby had a Reuben burger. He loved it. I had a chicken salad which has a garlic-pesto dressing. (I attached a picture.) The chicken was cooked perfectly. I could have eaten a while other portion. Everyone in my group finished their entire plates. My Mom & her bestie had the steak tips and fries. That looked SO good. I was a tad jealous. We don't live far; about an hour away. We'll be back soon! *They start live music on the weekends beginning in June.*

If you find yourself near Tekameh, stop by. Menu is small and simple but everything was delicious. Great bar, friendly staff, and has a fun neighborhood vibe. Would be a great location for a larger group outing too.

We came out for the last Sunday Funday with live music at the chatterbox, and had an absolute blast! The food was fantastic as always, plus loved the grilled oysters, and bbq!! the music was so much fun, as well as the staff and patrons! We look forward to live music at the chatterbox again next year! Will be back in the meantime, but will miss the music!

We have passed through Tekamah, Nebraska in route to ball games and other outings but on this excursion The Chatterbox was our destination. A 2021 stop on the Nebraska Passport Program put the brew pub on our radar and we were disappointed the kitchen was not open when we arrived at 4:00 but the menu looked inviting and our waitress encouraged us to return and try the steak bites.Outdoor seating in a garden like setting would be a great spot to enjoy a brew but the 90 degree temps of late July made the air conditioning a better choice on this hot humid day. I tried the cherry ale that was on tap and found it to be sweet and refreshing. A variety of seasonal brews were on tap and I should have asked about a flight option. A large group came in as we were leaving and the kitchen was opening. They were staking their claim on a table and getting ready to enjoy an evening of eats and drinks. A flyer for upcoming special events and bands was posted. Our timing was bad for our first visit. Stay tuned, we will be stopping back and arriving about 6:30/7:00.

A cute little hometown place. Very warm & welcoming. Good selection of local brews. Small, but tasty looking lunch menu.

The tenderloin bites, dipped in a horseradish sauce, liken to any prime rib succulent experience you have had, only more simply accomplished. The brussels sprouts in a vegetable sauté are simply delicious, and this is only the 2nd time I have liked brussels sprouts in my lifetime. A third side of cheesy mashed potatoes are served. The serving is on an elegant elongated dish from the left: potato, vegetable, steak. It is "exquisitely proportioned" and made a perfect meal.

Normally we receive good service, but not so much this time. Nobody attended to our table for over 30min. We had to order our food from the bar and check to see if the order even went through. It took over 45min to get any food, one order was quite cold. Don't think we'll be back anytime soon.

Stopped in for lunch and we were greeted by friendly staff and a great atmosphere. We had the Jalepeno Popper burger which was the special burger of the day and it was delicious. The hand cut fries were cooked to just the way I enjoyed them, a little crisp but not crunchy. Overall a really great lunch experience.

Really bad service. We were completely ignored by the waitress after our order was taken, to find 40 minutes later she had forgotten to place it. It was nearly empty so no excuse for being busy. And, she had a bit of attitude toward us when we expressed our displeasure.

Beautiful setting, and the food is absolutely amazing! We both had the filet and it was the best steak I think I've ever had. Worth the drive!
