The tiny settlement of Sacramento is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it place located just outside of Holdrege. It has corn, gravel, grain bins, and The Speakeasy, an unassuming steakhouse serving up fine dining in an unexpected place. Word about this little gem has spread coast to coast, but its heart stays local. It's the secret that keeps regulars coming back.
Behind an unassuming brick exterior, diners happily make the drive for a memorable fine-dining experience.

Sacramento is often called a ghost town, so it’s only fitting that the Speakeasy is said to be haunted by a spirit known as “Faceless Fred.”
