If you thought you knew what to expect from locally-owned Nebraska restaurants, think again. There’s one spot in the Panhandle that serves delicious, elevated cuisine in a comfortable, small-town atmosphere. It’s unlike any other restaurant in Nebraska, and it’s a must-visit for foodies – and every other hungry person.
The Mixing Bowl has been bringing elevated down-home cuisine to the good people of Gering since 2013.

Eating here is a pleasant experience that exists at the crossroads of comfortable surroundings and gourmet cuisine.
