Our Guestbook
“ The atmosphere, food, prices, and service was excellent! Someone wrote on Google that the portions were small, that person is crazy, the portions are huge! Oh and get the brisket banger, you won't go wrong!! Loved chatting with Hallie our server! Great girl! ”
“ Jacob M. Made our experience great. Super friendly service/ very helpful with menu choices. Food was great tasting/ very flavorful. Didn't have to wait long between ordering and food delivery. Absolutely a great lunch experience on our weekend train vacation. ”
“ You smell the smoky unctuousness the minute you walk in the door. I had the brisket and pulled pork with loaded mashed potatoes and slaw. The meat was literally done perfectly. The bbq sauce was on the side, so thoughtful. The service was friendly and welcoming. I was eating top rate smoked deliciousness with honky-tonk music in the background. There were 2 things that could be improved. 1. The drinks are weak (or maybe I’m just a Wisconsin girl.) My second drink, I ordered a double and it was like a good Wisconsin pour. 2. We waited a good 30 minutes for our food. There were lots of empty tables and we were there after 8 pm on a Friday. I’m not sure what took so long as you know the smoked meats and done ahead of time (because they are smoked for 12 hours according to our servicer) All in all this place is a winner. We will stop again if we’re back in town. ”
“ My cousin took us to Good Life when we were visiting North Platte. I am from the West Coast and consider myself a bit of a foodie. This restaurant could definitely hold its own in any of the bigger cities like Seattle Portland or San Francisco! In our group we had the hamburger with macaroni, The brisket jalapeno sandwich with no bread and a side of mashed potatoes and gravy and, I believe, a Southwest chicken wrap with coleslaw. We all agreed that the food was at least a nine and a half out of 10 if not a 10! Definitely recommend this place. Added bonus? It's in the downtown Canteen District so lots to see during your apres meal walk!!!! ”
“ The brisket bacon cheddar burger (aka “the Good Life”) was excellent! Smoked brisket done to perfection, not dry, very tender. Cornbread muffins as a side were tasty as well. Service was prompt and friendly. Not likely we will pass through North Platte again, but if we do, we will definitely eat here again! ”
“ We were traveling through and Tim at Tru by Hilton recommended. It was fast delivery and delicious food! Hard to decide what to have since their menu was huge! We settled in Lobster Truffle Mac and Cheese and brisket. ”
“ The greeter was welcoming. Jacob was our waiter and he was very attentive and shared local things to do with us. We ordered the Brisket Nacho platter and it was incredible! Huge portion and very delicious! ”
“ Very nice vibe to this place, clean, and has friendly staff. The food is super fun and has interesting choices my husband ordered a burger that had nacho cheese, little smokies, hot cheetos and bacon. HE LOVED IT. Huge portions for decent prices, plus happy hour between 3-6 is half a off appetizers which are also huge! Will go again for SURE! ”
