This down home steakhouse and bar in Lincoln, NE has been providing great booze, burgers and fun for 28 years, and consistently grosses 17k per week.  With a full menu from finger food to steaks and burgers, included in the purchase is $351,000 of furniture and equipment and $10,000 of inventory.  Situated along a well-trafficked road, the restaurant is just minutes from University of Nebraska-Lincoln, making it a perfect spot for Game Day.

Running daily specials keeps the regulars coming in for more week after week, and the Sunday burger and beer special is a popular event. The restaurant is fully staffed with mostly tenured employees, including 7 kitchen staff and 11 working the front end.  All employees are fully trained and ready to take the restaurant to the next level.

Equipped with a full bar and beer garden, a new owner has several growth opportunities.  Hours could be extended to service the nightlife crowd in the area.  There is also a karaoke machine ready to be utilized for karaoke nights. They do not currently advertise, but with daily specials, karaoke nights and a beer garden, advertisement could greatly increase foot traffic.
