Sandstone Grill
Sandstone Grill is the result of two Midwest girls who dreamed of cooking. Tenise and Tammy are sisters who grew up in St. Paul, NE. After a few years exploring the big cities (Tenise was in Kansas City for 12 years, Tammy was in Seattle for 6 years) they decided to look for culinary opportunities closer to their family. Although a restaurant wasn’t really what they originally had in mind they discussed a couple of options while both back in NE for their grandfather’s funeral in June 05. “Aunt” Janet overheard the conversation and the following Monday e-mailed the girls a listing for a vacant restaurant in downtown Burwell. Tammy flew back that Friday and the girls took a week off to explore the opportunity. They toured the old Burwell Hotel and fell in love with the building and original tin ceilings, in which they saw potential to make it into a great destination spot. A business plan was born and the sisters packed up and moved to Burwell in August ’05. After a 4 month renovation the tin ceiling was given a great new look, the hardwood floors were restored and the look of the historic Burwell hotel which is attached through French doors was carried over to create a wonderful new look. Now they were ready for business!
“The delicious and flavorful food along with the wonderful atmosphere you find at this restaurant is proof that hard work, dedication, and fabulous culinary skills have paid off for the owners. The great service is just the cherry on top. Don’t pass this place up on your travels through the middle of Nebraska’s cowboy country. Definitely worth the drive!”
