We’re used to seeing roadside barns from one end of Nebraska to the other, but how often do you get to park in front of one and go in for a delicious meal? This small western Nebraska barn is so much more than meets the eye.
Tucked away in the far northwestern corner of the state is the tiny town of Harrison with a population of 251 people.

On the edge of town, right on Hwy 20, is this sweet A-frame barn. Don’t mistake it for just another barn, though; this is a totally unique dining experience.

The Village Barn is small but mighty. It offers an unlikely range of cuisines: Asian, Thai, Mexican, and American.
