All you can eat for only $6.65 each! (About £4.00)


Where’s this possible? Well in historic Red Cloud, Nebraska, less than 20 miles from the Kansas border. At Cutters’ Café next to an old Hotel, we chose from an array of main dishes apart from the soup, bread and desserts and even iced tea or coffee which were included! It was obviously a favorite place for many customers who were well known to the owner.

Red Cloud is another of those lovely old towns with wide, red brick roads, flat roofed buildings lining the main street, and old lamp posts. Although it was named after Chief Red Cloud, the famous Sioux chief, it was thought that he never came through this area.


The train depot was one of it’s most important assets and during its heyday, about 8 trains per day passed through Red Cloud. It once brought settlers to the town and the building now belongs to the NE State Historical Society as do many other structures in the town including the Opera House.
