Dixie Quicks; Omaha, NE

Jerry, the groom in our Colorado Wedding (the reason for this summer’s fabulous road trip), sent me the video at the bottom of this post with instructions to stop and eat at Dixie Quicks on our way through Nebraska. It was harder to find than you would think. We drove in circles a bit and finally noticed the tiny little window sign on a red brick building that did not look like a restaurant at all.

In the video, they specifically mentioned the soup. Of course, I had to get some. I am so glad I did! This soup is fantastic! It is worth driving to Omaha just for a bowl (or a tiny little cup. Or even a spoonful). I miss this soup. I missed it the second I finished it. I probably could have eaten an entire vat of this soup and died happy when my stomach exploded. No really, it’s that good!

Of course, then came the grouper. I dare say it may have been better than the soup. Seriously. It was the best fish I have ever had in my entire life! It was perfectly cooked. Light and juicy and delicious. And whatever they put in the sauce was good enough I nearly licked the plate. The zucchini was good too, but it paled in comparison to the fish.

Then there’s Nathan’s burger. It was actually more beef than he could handle. I think there were some mushrooms under all of that cheese. It was the best burger ever! Juicy and delicious with some sort of crack seasoning that made me keep stealing little bites after I was way past full. The carrots were great too. They made me feel like I was being at least somewhat healthy. Hell, I was healthy! I ate fish! Nathan is the one with the giant burger of delight!

Here’s the aftermath of my plate. See! I didn’t lick it. I’m a lady. We don’t lick our plates in polite society. BUT I WANTED TO!!
