It’s not every day that you come across a place that feels like a local secret. Unless you happen to live in Nebraska. Here it seems like every small town offers something special to eat at restaurants owned and operated by families. These places aim to put a smile on the faces of customers each and every day and that’s why we love supporting them. This one is a great example of how a small restaurant can offer something big in the way of taste.

You’ll find the adorable Farmer’s Daughter Cafe in Grand Island.

And no matter what you choose to order to fill your belly, always be sure to save room for dessert. Their pies are so big, you’ll probably want to share!
