Loop Brewing Company

Jessica and Adam made us feel right at home!On our drive to get a new puppy we decided to stop into the pretty little town of McCook, Nebraska and found this great spot tucked away just off the main strip.I can't emphasize enough how delicious the breakfast hash is! I ordered a side of chili which added a really nice kick of spice, hard and sharp on the nose with no lingering heat or after-taste. I highly recommend it!Most importantly to me are the people and Jessica and Adam truly take the cake. You should expect warm smiles, helpful staff, and an owner who places the emphasis on his team and customers. Man I hope to visit y'all again!Hooyah, farewell and fair winds until we meet again :)

Stopped in for lunch while passing through. I had honey salmon salad 1/2 portion. It was very good. I loved the salad but the bowl was hard to eat out of. I suggest a bigger bowl. My husband had BLT and it was very good also. We shared an order of onion rings which were the best I've ever had. All was GREAT Lisa was a great server. The best. I recommend this place.

This has been great food experiences for several years that we have enjoyed. This late afternoon with Nancy, B and myself here now after our wkend of barrel racing. Everything just right again.

For the craft beer, this is not worth the stop, especially if passing through. The IPA and Lager were strangely similar. I tried 3 different beers, all were disappointing. That being said, the place was full with dinner patrons. I had a soup that was tasty and my partner had an acceptable salad. Service was adequate. The menu has many more options and, as stated, the place seemed popular for dinner. But, if you're traveling through and are intrigued by a craft brewery, this sadly isn't worth the stop.

I was excited to try this place, but it did not live up to my expectations. They brew their own beer and have wood-fired pizza. I did not try the pizza. The beer I had was not very good. It was an American Pale Ale. I've had Schlafly APA. My favorite is 4 Hands' City Wide. Loop's APA tasted extremely bland. No hop flavor to it. And a touch of sweetness. Very strange. Even stranger, it was room temperature. For food, I had the steak wrap with a side salad. The ranch dressing was tasty. The steak was dry and bland. Definitely need something to help it out. All in all, I was not impressed. I want to go back and try the pizza. I may have just ordered the wrong thing.

As a JUCO basketball referee, my avocation takes me to a few smallish towns in NE, KS, WY, and CO. On this return trip to McCook a week after an earlier trip, my GF and I (well, maybe mostly me) were regretful that we didn't order beignets (!!!!) that were allegedly "to die for" at this brewery bar restaurant in town. So...we talked my two basketball partners into returning to the restaurant to partake. I enjoyed another Black IPA (think 95% Guinness with 5% hops) - never seen such a blend anywhere else. We shared bacon and sausage stuffed mushrooms as a starter. Remember the old Wendy's "Where's the Beef??" TV Commercials? We liked the cheesy mushrooms that arrived in a little cast iron skillet but really couldn't discern the bacon or sausage. We also shared a double patty Big Al's burger that was advertised with spicy aioli and al pastor pork on top. The pork was over-sold on the menu as there wasn't more than a few strands on the medium-well+ and overly salty burger patties. The sweet potato fries were on target and a good choice to upgrade. So...the beignets. Let's get down to it. On our first visit here last week, the server said they were "TDF" but we were wired for a pint of Ben and Jerry's at the hotel and passed. I'd been kinda obsessed ever since and knew we'd order them this visit. I mean, how often can you utter the phrase, " I had awesome beignets in McCook NE..."? And again the server this visit also said they were her favorite. Now, if you've ever had them in New Orleans for example, you know they somehow manage to be doughy AND light simultaneously, just brushed with a dusting of powdered sugar. They arrived four to an order tonight, hot and dusted nicely. They were pretty good, too. Maybe not TDF but certainly worth ordering. Instead of doughy, they were flaky and lightly fried, maybe just a touch greasy. Still, they were worth the order and now we can say, "We had beignets in McCook NE" ...and I can move on to a fresh obsession.

Happy to see Loop Brewing doing well. We stopped for lunch recently while in McCook, and it's turned out to be a nice addition to McCook. An converted old railroad building 'down by the tracks' it's off the beaten path, but not by too much. It's a nice building inside long dining room running the length of the building with a little bar, the kitchen and the brewing along one side. We chose to sit at a high top in the bar for some appetizers. Place was surprisingly half full when we got there around 2pm. Their specialty appears to be pizza, plus the usual burgers, sandwiches, salads. Some interesting twist on traditional dishes that sound good for dinner sometime. We ordered appetizers and salads and they were plentiful. Had some great stuffed mushrooms, and a couple nice blonde ales. Did I say nice? Staff was attentive, food came out as quick as expected, and we had a nice hour break from seeing relatives, in a cool place (temperature wise too), with good food. We paid about $35 for the food (and a little more for the beer). There isn't another place in McCook quite like this. Definitely stop by for lunch or dinner, and have a local beer.

I live two hours away in Hastings and decided to make the drive over and check this out. It was worth it. Good selection of beers and I enjoyed all of them. Although I tougher it was weird they didn't have flight trays. They just brought the four individual taster glasses loose. My daughter and wife each had a Mac and cheese skillet that they both loved. I had to try a pizza. It was very good. Cool atmosphere in an old repurposed train depot. Nice laid back vibe which I love.

Fantastic service, amazing pizza (the Esterhaus, a MUST), eclectic mixed drinks, great beer selection--what more could you ask for!!?? The bacon wrapped pretzels are to die for Rail yard ambiance is a plus in addition to the industrial interior design

Great big space perfect for a party to a family lunch. Family-friendly. Food looked delicious however didn't realize they had a full kitchen so came full and had beers. Pleasantly surprised not a single beer (but for the IPA which I didn't try since don't like) that I had was good. (Most breweries seem to have one, maybe two, good beers imo.) Ended up getting a couple crowlers ($9ea) to go and can't wait to sip on when home! Price was good, too.
