Things to do in Hastings
1. Back Alley Bakery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 78 reviews
Reviewed By Dave_in_Reno - Reno NV
On the plus side, Back Alley Bakery serves huge portions of excellent food at very reasonable prices. The menu changes every day, so it's worth going online before you arrive to make sure there's something you'll like.
On the downside, at least on the day I visited, they had a single server for the entire restaurant. Our server was very friendly and helpful, but was spread far too thin. It took a very long time to get the menus and place our order, but once we did, the food arrived quickly. In one case, however, it wasn't what we ordered, and it took a while to discover that the sandwich ingredients were actually from the previous day. Hmm.

We enjoyed morning coffee here with friends. Our group sat in the window facing the street where we watched a beautiful building being restored across the street. The coffee and the cinnamon buns were delicious as was the coconut cake. I look forward to my next visit.
4. Odyssey
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 65 reviews
Casual, modern, and innovative cuisine, drink and service in the heart of downtown Hastings!
Reviewed By Dave_in_Reno - Reno NV
Odyssey is a standout in Hastings, and would fit right in in foodie cities like San Francisco or Denver. If your on I-80 near Grand Island, make a detour to Hastings and check it out.
The restaurant consists of two sleek, connected rooms. The service is fast, friendly and efficient.
And then there's the food. The menu offers a wide range of choice, and the portions are very generous. The garlic fries are the best I've had ANYWHERE. The sandwiches and burgers are inventive and feature interesting combinations of ingredients. And, the burgers come as ordered, unlike many restaurants which always seem to get the "doneness" wrong.
My only regret is that I live several states away and won't be able to visit as often as I'd like.
5. Barista's Daily Grind

If you don't like McDonald's coffee, this is your other choice. But it's a great option. All the specialty drinks you're used to in big cities are available here. House brew is a dark roast, although they had other choices as well.This is a drive thru (2 sides) place. Good service; nice employees. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend!

When driving through, it looks like a bar that serves food. Once inside, you discover that it is a restaurant that serves liquor. Love the broasted pickles and they have daily specials. Fried chicken is good and so was the flat iron steak. Nicely decorated with race car theme and attractive wait staff.

We love that Napoli's delivers . We order an assortment of pasta dishes and everyone is happy. The lasagna is most of their favorites as well as the meatballs. Hope they are able to keep open when all the businesses around them have closed.
8. The Barrel Bar

Reviewed By Donna K - Hastings, Nebraska
One of the oldest places (updated recently) in Hastings. The food is consistent; very good and very reasonably priced. Their homemade soups are delicious and, if you like blue cheese dressing?.....Jim makes some of the BEST blue cheese dressing around! Don't expect "fries with that"....they don't serve fries. Eat a salad and a baked potato with your meal. You won't miss them! A great place for families, friends and neighbors!

Reviewed By Van B - Wichita, Kansas
I had lunch there on 1/30 with three business associates. This was my first trip to Murphy's and I promise I will be back. The ham and bean soup was outstanding as was my sandwich. The young lady that waited on us couldn't have been nicer. For the quality and taste of the meal the price was incredible.
