Top choice in Nebraska
The same family has been running this local legend of a steakhouse since 1922. The restaurant itself is a living museum of decor, with custom artwork spread throughout the lavish 1950s interior (they'll give you a tour, just ask). Settle into one of the plush chairs on casters and select from a superb line-up of steaks and other meaty mains.
A perfect meal: the trademark onion rings, the house salad with blue cheese and the Omaha strip steak. Portions are vast.
