Bonfire Grill & Pub The Bonfire Grill, located in the Arrow Hotel lobby, is a great place to enjoy a meal or your favorite beverage. "First of all, congratulations to RJ and his crew for coming up with this great business promotion. It’s fun for all customers! Mac ordered scallops and shrimp, beef stroganoff, a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing and blue cheese crumbles. I ordered a filet, asparagus, and mac’n cheese. According to Mac, his beef stroganoff and meal was outstanding. My filet was so tender it almost melted in my mouth. The asparagus (I don't know where he found that large of spears at this time of year) was delicious. The mac’n cheese was presented beautifully in an edible bowl. The presentation was remarkable. Hats off to the marvelous chef and the rest of the staff who made this a meal to remember, especially our waiter who made certain everything was perfect. They weren’t unable to have the key lime pie ready for dessert, so we are to pick up a whole key lime pie next week. Even better!" —Peggy McMeen, VIP winner "Ken and I would just to send a big THANK YOU for our Big Kahuna night. I had the wonderfully seasoned prime rib, baked potato, asparagus, and salad. Ken had the lobster, soaked in butter, also with baked potato, and mashed potatoes, asparagus. Then, as if we weren't full enough, we had to have dessert. He chose spiced carrot cake drizzled with caramel sauce, and mine was so good I forgot what it was. I guess I ate it too fast! Ken said, 'Great atmosphere, great food, great waiter. Big cities have nothing on Broken Bow!' I truly felt we were special and it made my day!" —Jeanne Myer, VIP winner "Winning the Big Kahuna is more than a treat—it is an event. Michelle and were truly given the red carpet treatment from the minute we walked in the door. As soon as we told Whitney we were there for our Big Kahuna meal, she made sure that everything was on your tab, RJ. I think if we'd been given any better treatment, RJ would have begged the IRS to claim a Big Kahuna deduction on his 2011 taxes just for our evening. Our meal was fantastic from start to finish. Afif outdid himself. The filet was delicious and our king crab legs were outstanding. The crème brule and cheesecake we had for dessert was a great way to finish off the meal. Thank you once again." —Jim and Michelle Zlomke, VIP winners "I would like to thank the Bonfire staff for a wonderful meal. The lobster was great and Lee said his steak was cooked just right. Presentation of the meal was terrific. We really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Everyone was very polite and attentive. We will definetly be back to enjoy another meal. Thank you, Afif and staff, for a very enjoyable evening." —Melonie Morrison, VIP winner "Dustin and I claimed our Big Kahuna VIP dinner and we had Surf and Turf. We have NEVER had better food than what Afif made for us. Dustin had steak oscar along with the seafood pasta. The steak was cooked to perfection and piled high with lump crab meat, asparagus and topped with rich hollandaise sauce. The pasta was cooked in the most delightful cream sauce mixed with the perfect collaboration of treasures from the sea. I had a tomahawk ribeye steak and king crab legs. The ribeye was an out of this world experience; perfectly seasoned and cooked to just the right color of pink. The crab legs were bigger than a small dog, steamed to perfection and fit for a king. Dessert was wonderful as well. Dustin had orange cheesecake in a marmalade sauce, and I had a chocolate tort. It was so rich I couldn't eat it all. The service from all the staff was impeccable! Afif, R.J. and Anne (and everyone else involved), you have out done yourselves once again. Thank you so much for treating us to a wonderful experience. You treated us like royalty, and we truly felt like we were the most important people in the Arrow Hotel. We can't quit talking about being the "Big Kahuna" and the fun we had! Thanks you from the depths of our hearts! We will be back for sure!" —James and Dustin, VIP winners "I want to thank the Bonfire for the wonderful Big Kahuna dinner. I had Steak and Lobster and both were excellent, cooked perfectly. Gary had oysters on a half shell, shrimp and steak, (it was his Birthday celebration). He said it was excellent! We even had a piece of spice cake which was really good. Tell the chef that he did an outstanding job plus the display of the food on the plate was beautiful. Our friends that shared the night with us had good meals too. Thanks again for a wonderful night of good food and drinks. We really appreciate it. When we have friends from out of town the Bonfire is where we always take them. Thanks again!" —Gary and Vonnie, VIP winners "Wayne and I enjoyed a delightful VIP supper at the Bonfire Gril! Wayne had lamb chops and reported them to be some of the best he's ever eaten. I had the stuffed fillet mignon and it was done just right. The grilled asparagus, garlic mashed potatoes and salad completed the meal. We had wonderful service... and great company at our table. Mom, Eileen Mc, and her friend, Pat, joined us and made for a great evening. I've attended the Big Kahuna only twice, and think that it's a great gathering. Thanks for the delightful meal and the wonderful entertainment." —Debi Garrison, VIP winner "Thanks once again for an incredible evening at the Bonfire. Tristan and I really do enjoy eating slimey creatures, so we were looking forward to a meal that is usually served outside of pork country. Afif, Brad, Abby, and Josh went above and beyond to make sure that we had an evening to remember. The oysters rockefeller that Afif started us off with were fantastic, and we would have been happy if the night had ended there, but the best was yet to come. The plate of mussels and clams that followed, were excellent. It was like we were in a five star restaurant on the coast, not a cozy pub in the middle of Nebraska. The desserts were both great. The spiced cake and the creme brulee were the perfect endings to our meal. Thanks again for everything and helping us celebrate our 10 year anniversary. P.S. The oysters would be a great addition to the menu, right next to the Hawg wings." —Pat and Tristan Berggren, VIP winners "A Big Kahuna Thank You! Dwain and I did have dinner on you. It was more than OK; it was wonderful as usual! You know we eat out because we like food and I don't like to cook. We really enjoyed our ribeye steaks and shrimp scampy. The steaks were cooked just right and the shrimp was excellent. Dwain has really missed the sweet potatoes so he really enjoyed that, and dessert was wonderful. Our kids think we went over the edge by ordering an after dinner drink—decaf coffee! Afif, Brad, Keile and everyone at The Bonfire Grill made it a very enjoyable evening." Thank you 'Beary' Much, —Deb Bryner, VIP winner "The Kobe beef was excellent... it just about melts in your mouth. Thank you for the opportunity and the full meal. Donalee loved the King Crab. Our waiters and host took very good care of us. I even told Afif for a person who does not care for asparagus, I ate it all and it was very good. We had a very good time and thank you again." —Dave and Donalee Lamb, VIP winners "I couldn’t help myself—beef prices were up, so I had to order the prime rib! Valarie went with the King Crab. Our night started at the bar with Brad and his crew taking care of us. Whitney must have thought we were hitting the refills of Crown too hard, so she quickly cleared a table to get us away from Brad (good training RJ). She and Afif made sure that everything was perfect for us. The 'Flintstone Cut' of prime rib was awesome it should be on the menu. The meat was prepared perfectly and the meal presentation was great. Valarie said her crab was some of the best she's had. Seconds on both were just as good as the first. You did one thing wrong... you took the expensive wine off the list before we got there, but the Mac's Creek was a great compliment to the meal. The term 'VIP Treatment' was exactly what we got from your staff at the Bonfire Grill. Thank you, RJ and crew, for a great evening!" —Brad and Valarie, VIP winners "Lori and I had a truly awesome meal Saturday night. For a pig man... you really know how to cook beef. From the appetizers thru the dessert, everything was above expectation. The service was even more outstanding. Brad, Afif and Kaylee made the experience even more outstanding. We have enjoyed the ‘Big Kahuna Fridays’, now let somebody win the dang money! I would hate to have you thrown into a higher tax bracket. —Todd and Lori Reynolds, VIP winners "My wife Brenda and I may not be royalty, but we sure felt like it when we received the "Royal Treatment" during my Big Kahuna evening. Since we are from North Dakota and only stay at the Arrow Hotel once a year during the SORC Race, we weren't quite sure what to expect. But as we learned... expect the unexpected because Chef Afif, RJ and Anna, Wes and Kathy and Brad and staff provided us an excellent experience. The Beef Wellington was absolutely fantastic, not just in taste but in presentation as well. The hospitality shown us and the service given us was '5 Star' to say the least... we were literally doted on!! Thank you for an unforgettable evening and then some! Our only regret is that we live so far away, because the Bonfire with Chef Afif's skills is definitely a place that we could enjoy again and again... Broken Bow, you are blessed to have it! And as for the Arrow Hotel, we have stayed there 7 out of the last 9 years during the SORC Race week and have seen lots of positive changes. Thank you for your commitment to Broken Bow and the traveling public in continuing to improve the accommodations... our car loved having a garage too!" —Cletus J.Kraft, April Fools Day 2011 VIP Winner "We would like to thank the Bonfire for our night as the 'Big Kahuna'. We used the opportunity to celebrate our 40th Anniversary and our daughter Amanda's Birthday. A special thanks to R.J. for making a special trip to go get my lobster and to Afif for preparing it perfectly. Karen and I enjoyed our great meals and even a new drink we had wanted to try. Thanks for the special evening." —Rick & Karen Hank, VIP winners "We are so lucky to have a local restaurant that is different... and fantastic! The Bonfire offers wonderful menu items that range from an upscale take on comfort food basics to fine cuisine. The atmosphere is both intimate, as well as welcoming of larger family groups. Jeff and I both enjoyed the steak oscar that your fabulous chef Afif prepared for us. The presentation was outstanding! Brad and Abby made our party feel like we had all won the Big Kahuna contest. Jeff appreciated R.J. buying my birthday dinner—and the Kendall Jackson cabernet that went with it! Thanks so much for the great dinning experience. Service=5/5 stars, Ambiance=5/5 stars" —Karen & Jeff (Big Kahuna) Evans, VIP winners "Brad and I had a truly exceptional meal on Friday night! As always, the ribeye was cooked to absolute perfection and the crab legs were amazing! I did not know muddy creek crab legs would rival Alaska Kings, but now that I know I recommend they become a regular addition to the menu! Afif and Brad treated us like royalty and Josh ensured our glasses were never empty, the evening was terrific from beginning to end and we truly appreciate winning the Big Kahuna. Thank you!" —Stephanie Miller, VIP winner "My husband and I would like to thank you for a wonderful evening. Being new to the area, we had heard good things about the Bonfire and had been meaning to try it. We were there for the Easter buffet and it was excellent. While my husband was looking for the menu for the Easter buffet online, we came across the VIP Big Kahuna and signed up. Imagine our surprise when I won! I never win anything! Afif did an excellent job and we are looking forward to coming back. By the way, the cocktails were great too! Once again, thank you for a wonderful evening." —Tana & Kevin Fry, VIP winners "The meal was truly one of a kind. Afif and his staff went out of their way to insure that Peg and I had a truly exceptional experience. Broken Bow is lucky to have an establishment like the Bonfire. We will do this again." —John & Peggy Walters, VIP winners "Thank you for a meal that was just wonderful—it not only looked great, it tasted great too. My sister and her husband joined us, and they were equally impressed. The spice cake and strawberry cheesecake were fantastic. Although they were quite busy, the staff was friendly and helpful... and not just for our table, but we watched as they took great care and time with all the customers. The Bonfire gets an "A" for the food and service—it was an enjoyable evening. Thank you so much!" —Karen Hunt, VIP winner "WOW—'Big Kahuna' is fabulous! The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly and according to my husband, the bovine ribs were some of the best ribs he has had. The Korbel brandy manhattan was perfect. The service was excellent. Thank you for the best meal we have eaten in a long time! We will be back soon. My husband is already talking about Sunday evening all-you-can-eat bovine ribs. Thank you again!" —Dawn Hasebroock, VIP winner "Being the Big Kahuna was very special and being surrounded by our children on the eve of Mother's Day added to the special event. Thank-you so much for making it possible." —Mary and Tom Langrud, VIP winners "Rock and I would like to convey to you our utmost appreciation for our night out at the Bonfire. We had a good time and your wait staff couldn't have been more accommodating. The rib eye was cooked to perfection and the lobster was presented well. Our entire party of 10 were treated better than if they were at home. They don't often get what they want and usually have to get it themselves. We all had a wonderful time and the food was great. The Pork Tenderloin was a hit with our son. We will continue to sign up... maybe we will get lucky again!" —Carol and Rock Jones, VIP winners "The food and service was excellent. We felt like we were royalty with all the attention given to us." —Melanie Welch, VIP winner "When you said to prepare to be treated like royalty, you weren’t kidding! The food was fit for a queen and the service couldn’t have been better. Chef Afif certainly outdid himself—the lobster thermadore was amazing, right down to that parmesan basket, and his wine suggestions were a perfect fit. We had a marvelous time and left stuffed! EVERYBODY should enter this contest, because you DEFINITELY want to be the Bonfire Big Kahuna! Thank you, again!" —Karen Cunningham, VIP winner "We chose the prime rib dinner, and it was very delicious! The service is always great, the coffee is fresh and hot, and though we were more than full, we decided to share chocolate cheesecake for dessert...yummy! We always enjoy dining at the Bonfire Grill, and thank you for showing appreciation to your customers with this wonderful opportunity!" —Peg Walters, VIP winner "To say the food was good would be a bit of a disservice—the food was great! I had the ribs, Deb had halibut, and we both couldn't finish because there was so much! The service was super even though it was busy. The Bonfire appears to be firing on all cylinders. We'll be back soon!" Thanks Again! —Stan Gembol, 1st VIP Winner |
