These 12 Restaurants in Nebraska Have Jaw-Dropping Views While You Eat

The Alpine Inn is well-known for its standing arrangement with local wildlife. When diners finish their fried chicken (the restaurant's specialty), the scraps and bones are thrown outside for the raccoons and stray cats. Diners then watch the animals devour the leftovers in a lovely wooded setting. Strange, maybe, but this view is definitely unique.

This Omaha classic is located right on a man-made lake. The stunning view from the waterfront patio is a perfect addition to the restaurant's tasty menu.

Attached to the Lied Jungle at the Omaha zoo, this cafeteria-style eatery offers a view that is literally unlike any other in the world. A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows looks out over the jungle, letting you watch the jungle plants and animals as you snack.

The Lied Lodge is all kinds of impressive, and its restaurant doesn't disappoint. The windows offer views of the beautiful Arbor Day Farm.

Though it's changed hands and looks many times over the years, the restaurant at Mahoney State Park has always featured impressive views of the park and the Platte River. You'll often see wildlife wandering right up to the windows to take a peek at what you're eating.

Way up on the 20th floor of the US Bank building in downtown Lincoln, The Nebraska Club's windows give diners a spectacular view of the city, including the capitol building.

At Wilderness Ridge you'll find an expansive 9,000 square foot wrap-around deck where you can unwind and gaze out at the 18-hole course. Or, when the weather isn't so great, eat in the stunning dining room.

Located literally in the shadows of the Scotts Bluff Monument, Monument Shadows Golf includes a little restaurant called Caddies. From the windows you can look out over the beautiful 18-hole course and look up at the stunning monument.

Right on the shore of Lake McConaughy, North Shore Lodge's restaurant is a casual restaurant that gives you a beautiful view of the lake and beach. If you get there by boat, they'll even drive down to the beach to pick you up!

The huge windows in the Canyon Dining Room overlook the impressive golf courses at The Prairie Club. The Sandhills setting is uniquely beautiful and makes for the perfect backdrop for a relaxing dinner.
