A new dining experience will soon be available in North Platte.

NebraskaLand National Bank President Michael Jacobson announced Wednesday morning that Bailey’s American Cuisine will be located inside the new bank building at 1400 South Jeffers.  The Bank will lease approximately 5,800 square feet of space to Bailey’s American Cuisine, LLC which will operate the business.  The group also operates SoZo’s American Cuisine in Kearney.

The restaurant is named after former Union Pacific President and namesake of North Platte’s Bailey Yards, Edd H. Bailey.

Jacobson said, “Bailey Yards and those who work there, continue to play a significant role in the economic vitality of North Platte and the surrounding region.”

He added, “We  felt that it was fitting to honor them through the naming of this unique new restaurant.”

The restaurant will feature an extensive menu and will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week in a casual setting on the first floor of the Bank, along with Barista’s Coffee Shop.  A convenient drive-thru window will also allow for convenient coffee on-the-run and food orders to go.  Additionally, the restaurant will also offer more “high-end” dining on the building’s third floor, with access to an open patio that will allow people to dine in a relaxing environment with a spectacular view of the city.

Executive Chef Travis Evans said they want Bailey’s to be a place where anyone will feel comfortable and welcome, whether they are just leaving the office or just getting off the tractor.

Jacobson said Bailey’s will also have space available for special events such as wedding receptions and Christmas parties and will offer catering services as well as a full bar.

Bailey’s American Cuisine is slated to open on November 1, 2013, which is also the scheduled opening for the Bank’s new location.
