Who doesn’t love pie? Of course, not all pie is created equal. The crust can be chewy, dry or gummy. The filling can have that straight-from-the-can lack of flavor, or be gluey and disgusting. Luckily for us, Nebraska has tons of places to find delicious pie, made from scratch with both baking talent and lots of loving care.
1. Drifter Cookshack, Crawford
You'll find the Drifter Cookshack at the High Plains Homestead in Crawford. This cozy restaurant is located in a renovated log cabin and offers up cowboy-sized portions of all the best comfort food. The pie is homemade, and you'll likely want to order a whole one to take home with you. 263 Sandcreek Road, Crawford.
2. The Green Apple Cafe, Cozad
This no-frills cafe serves up some of the best comfort food you've ever eaten, and the pie is just divine. The best part? The prices are very reasonable. 128 E. 8th Street, Cozad.
3. Stauffer's Cafe & Pie Shop, Lincoln
You can't go wrong with homemade pie at Stauffer's. When you order cherry pie...you get tons of cherries! 5600 South 48th Street, Lincoln.
4. Farmer's Daughter Cafe, Grand Island
Stop here for breakfast, but save room for dessert. The chocolate peanut butter (pictured here) is to die for. 105 N. Walnut Street, Grand Island.
5. The HUB, Burwell
6. Chez Bubba Cafe, Goehner
The slogan at Chez Bubba is "Sometimes classy, mostly bubba," and that totally fits this funky, fabulous place. The pie is homemade (of course!) and the selection changes every day. 1234 May Street, Goehner.
7. Wheatfields, Omaha and Papillion
Wheatfields does have delicious food, but we suggest that you skip a nutritious meal and go straight to dessert.
