Our favorite places in Sidney

Favorite places in Sidney Nebraska from a residents point of view.
I get so caught up in city politics that sometimes I forget why I love it here.
Sometimes when you want to find a good place to eat in a new town it is best to talk to the locals. Where do you eat? Where do you shop? Where do you play?

This post will be ever growing as I hope other locals will join in. Maybe if someone is checking our town out they can reference this blog spot to find the best.
I work full time and don't have the funds to play a lot, but maybe some of my readers will help in the areas where I am unfamiliar (like sporting thingy's & healthy thingy's)
I'll start with a few of my favorites and why they are my favorites..

Best grocery store in Sidney: Sonny's Super Foods
Why: Best parking, fast checkers, I almost never wait in line, & great box boys/girls who are always friendly and they take your groceries to your car, and I giggle every time I come home with free milk from my rewards card. Go Sonny's!


Best Mexican Food in Sidney: 1. Virgils when we have extra money (expensive!) 2.Mi Ranchito when Virgils is closed. 3. Taco Johns when we are really broke.

Best hamburger in Sidney: Silver Dollar Bar. Hands down. Bummer ya got to go to a bar, but it's worth it.

Best Onion Ring in Sidney: Silver Dollar Bar.. To DIE FOR!!!!! (Best onion rings I have ever had) Got 1 bad batch ONCE..they were a little undercooked, but it has never happened again.

Best shake or malt in Sidney: Dairy Queen. Best I can get in Sidney. Be prepared to pay an arm & a leg, but when you really really need a shake/malt DQ is the best in Sidney.

Best French Fry in Sidney: Runza...mmmmmm french fries! Krinkle fries of course! If you are not into krinkle then Mc d's is the next best. (although, for being a salt lover, I almost died eating the over salted fries out there the other day...too much salt for me would kill someone who couldn't take too much salt.)

Best Steak in Sidney: Dudes. Although I am considering changing my mind since they dropped my favorite (veal cutlet) from their menu. Why couldn't they drop my husband's favorite?? What's up with that? Anyhoot. Dude's is the Best for steaks according to my neanderthal husband.

Best breakfast:.....I need someones help on this one as I don't eat breakfast.

Best Beer & conversation: Stewies...why? I don't know, we don't bar hop anymore, but when we did, Stewie was my favorite bartender. Him and his wife are just good people.

Best servicing in a downtown business...Finney's. They are great at helping you find things. Sometimes a little too quick! Maybe you just want to look around!
They have the most beautiful things to look at. No one can beat her Christmas trees / windows.

Best men's clothing: Larry's Clothing. Always the Best service and always so kind.
A little bit pricey for me, but I am broke so you can't really take my word for it.
But he was there for my husbands "funeral/weddings/graduation" suit 12 years ago (still looking good!) and my son's 2 prom tuxes. I love how they whip out their little measuring tape and measure my son's thick neck! They know what they are doing down there! Great job! It's a pure pleasure to see Larry outside his door, dressed to the nines and sweeping / scooping. It's like a Rockwell painting.

Best pharmacy: Western Drug
Maybe I am a little biased, but Western Drug has been my lifesaver. They were there for me when I was at my worst. Through all the tears and all the years they are by far the best. They treat you like family. I will always, always go to Western Drug.
Everything you could ask from a pharmacy / pharmacist.

Fastest convenience store: Gas N Git on 10th. Those gals are really fast and good at what they do. For gas we don't need to pay first...knock on wood.(that could always change / hope not!)

Best Salad bar: None. There is not one salad in this town that doesn't come from bagged lettuce (except from my house!) Boo on the salads Sidney, Boo!
If you like bagged lettuce....go away, I don't even want you on my blog page. Scat!
Shoo! Be gone.

Please feel free to post your favorite places in Sidney Nebraska & why. I will continue to add to the list as time goes by.
