The itty-bitty town of Dwight, Nebraska – population 200, give or take a handful – looks like a lot of other little Nebraska towns. And, like other little Nebraska towns, this one has a down-home, old-fashioned restaurant where folks gather for delicious food, good conversation, and a feeling of community. Cy’s Cafe is so old-fashioned that you won’t find it anywhere online, and the food is just so delicious that you’ll quickly become a return visitor.
Cy’s Cafe is tucked into the Bohemian Alps, a cluster of small villages near Nebraska’s eastern border.

Inside, Cy’s is a lot like other small-town restaurants.
Fred Stewart/Google Reviews There are a few tables and a few stools at the counter; take your pick and get comfy.
Diner-style decor on the walls and a counter lined with a variety of candy will bring out your inner child.
Fred Stewart/Google Reviews If you grew up in Nebraska, chances are good that you used to frequent a place a lot like this.
The decor isn’t what you’ll be talking about after you leave, though - it’s the food.
Robert Zupan/Google Reviews Most of the time, Cy’s serves a small menu consisting of burgers, chicken strips, fries, and similar items. But on Wednesday night, you can come in for the Czech Special: sauerkraut, dumplings, pork, and mashed potatoes with gravy. It’s stick-to-your-ribs food, just like your Czech grandma used to make.
When you visit, be sure to bring cash. Cy’s Cafe doesn’t accept credit or debit cards.
