This was our lunch stop on a couples trip from Kansas City to Omaha. We knew about it because we had eaten there before during a trip to Nebraska City. The space is open and light, the food is very good and the staff are very friendly. It really is a perfect small town lunch spot in all the best ways. There is an adjoining shop with a wide range of interesting gifts and home decoration items. And, a HUGE bonus for us was that the city had installed a DC fast charging station for EVs in the parking lot directly across the street from the restaurant. So we drove our Ioniq 5 from Kansas City to Nebraska City, plugged in, had a great lunch and a walk through the shop, then unplugged, fully charged and ready to go on to Omaha. Actually, with the fast charger it took more time to have lunch than to charge up. EV drivers should definitely mark this spot.

No visit to Nebraska City would be complete without a meal stop at The Keeping Room in the historic area of town. The restaurant is busy, the food is amazing, and service is outstanding. I recommend their chicken salad croissant and my husband loves their street tacos.
Right next door is a lovely gift shop that offers home decor items, jewelry, and other unique items. I rarely stop for lunch without wandering through the adjacent shop.

Small Cafe and boutique store in one.
Small lunch menu of fresh salads, sandwiches, and desserts. Enough selection for a group.
Food was very good and very fresh. The dessert was amazing (carrot cake)
Service was attentive and very friendly.
Small business at its best.

Cannot say enough good about our experience at The Keeping Room. Inspired, made-from-scratch salads, sandwiches, comfort foods and desserts. Have a glass of wine, a cocktail, or one of a variety of soft drinks. Eclectic environment and friendly, unpretentious service. Outside of the cafe, enjoy strolling through antiques, home goods, and contemporary fashion. A party/meeting room is available.

So glad we checked out the Keeping Room on our way thru. We ordered the Pulled pork special and Thai pizza both were amazing and obviously made with fresh and healthy ingredients. had a side of their chicken noodle soup which is like my mom made. Finish off with their bread pudding and apple praline pie both very good. Stopped by next day for crab cake salad and fish and chips. Spouse said here salad was very good. Ordered the coconut creme pie best I had ever had. Service was top notch. Loved that they served meals on real polish dishes.

We had the best lunch at the Keeping Room! The homemade pico de gallo was outstanding! We had the Turkey panini (2), French dip, and Thai wrap and all of them were delicious. Our server was super friendly. I also loved the tableware, so pretty. We would definitely go back to the Keeping Room. The adjoining store was also fun to look around.

We stopped here in twice in one week, on the way out and back from seeing the Sand Hill Cranes. This is a great spot for lunch and dessert! Service was friendly and quick.
The lobster mac and cheese had nice chunks of lobster and the cheese was perfect. Friends had the chicken salad sandwich. Pie sampled included chocolate pie and the coconut cream pie. The return lunch (carry-out) was great too! I had delicious corn beef and cabbage special. Friends had the Reuben and the Turkey Panini. Pie choices were 2 coconut cream and one carrot cake. This is the best coconut cream pie I have ever had. The crust is soft and flaky and there are nice pieces of shredded coconut throughout the pie. We will always stop here!

This is a gem of a little place in Nebraska City. Good wine list, cute shopping while waiting, and amazing desserts. I ordered the Thai flat bread and it was excellent. Had a glass of Earthquake cab. Husband ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich and he said it was great. We split the praline apple pie for dessert. Will always stop here on our way through.

This is a pleasant little cafe where you park on a quaint "main street." Just about any mug or item inside is for sale. The servers are pleasant, and you'll be there a while. The menu is small, but the deserts are wonderful, especially their apple pie!

Excellent cafe in downtown Nebraska City. French dip sandwich was amazing. We tried the Asian chicken salad and the apple walnut salad. Everything homemade and delicious. The Apple praline pie ala mode was wonderful. Staff was friendly and the cafe was clean. Adjoining boutique was well appointed. Will return! What a great find!!!

We’ve been able to stop here a couple times and each time, we have the best experience. Food is always delicious. I love shopping the retail area. Street tacos were delish!

This is a nice little restaurant that serves lunch and fantastic desserts. The place is very casual and comfortable. We ended up sharing 3 desserts - the cheesecake, the bread pudding and the carrot cake. They were all fantastic.

My fiancé and I were looking for a place for dessert and we couldn’t have been happier. They have some of the best bread pudding ever made!

Excellent food and service! Our lunch plates were fresh and appealing, and our server, though very busy, was friendly and attentive with us. We enjoyed sitting in their outside porch area, very relaxing, made for a perfect day! We will most definitely return!
