Best steakhouse in Omaha. Service was top tier. Our server knew the menu well and had perfect pacing throughout the meal. Steaks were perfectly prepared. Environment was excellent. Not too loud, nice comfortable seating that felt private. My ideal environment to celebrate any milestone The only disclaimer is the pricing is on the higher end. To me, it's worth the price for the quality of food and experience read more

Visited 801 Chophouse for the first time and the experience and food did not disappoint. Their steaks were as advertised - one of the best we've had! Service was outstanding! Our waitress, Sarah, explained all the necessary details to us as newcomers. She was attentive gave great advice from what she thought would be best for us after we shared our likes and dislikes. This is a great place for families or if you are visiting the area and looking for a great steak meal, this is the place. read more

Went back for Sunday supper when in Omaha for a work trip and wasn't disappointed! Always our favorite "treat" on a Sunday night! Alex was our server and was on point with recommendations and drinks!! Go with the spice-rub on the prime rib!! 5-stars for sure!! See you next time!! read more

I asked Chat Gpt which steakhouse in Omaha would be best recommended to someone from Chicago. 801 was one of four locations to come up and after visiting, I gotta agree with AI. It was superb. Every detail of our dinner was perfection. Service was attentive, but not overbearing. Friendly and accommodating. I don't think I could have ordered anything I'd dislike at this restaurant, but I did go with the petite filets topped with scallop and shrimp. Cooked exactly as requested. I kid not when I say 801 uses the highest quality beef, as well as, aging them in house. Another reason we chose 801 was the appeal of their sides compared to other local steakhouses. The baked potato was huge and the creamed corn needs an honorable mention as it's all I've been dreaming about since. If you want a location to impress guests, or the most difficult critics - 801 will not let you down. read more

I came in with a group of 10, and we had reserved a small private room, which worked great for us. Our server was a long time back, and did a fantastic job, taking care of us. When I asked if there was an espresso martini on the menu, she said they can come up with one, and four of us ordered this and absolutely loved it! I am personally not a fan of high price steakhouses, as I'm not a huge steak connoisseur and can't justify the price take. This meal was good, but in my mind was not near worth the price tag that came along with it. I enjoyed the Spencer, which came with one piece of shrimp, and one scallop -- this was my favorite part by far! Steak was cooked pretty well, one perfectly medium rare, and the other about medium, when I ordered medium rare for my steak. The sides all tasted great, mac & cheese and creamed corn for our favorites. The absolute best taste, which was a worthwhile value in my mind was the cheesecake we got for dessert! This was fantastic, although I wouldn't come back for a stake meal here, I would definitely stop in for dessert and maybe a drink. Unfortunately, our server did overcharge us, as we tried to make things easier on her by paying with one ticket, and analyzing this the next morning at home. We were supposed to get a free dessert for the event we were celebrating, and this was charged on the ticket. There were other minor discrepancies. Not a huge deal, but I would recommend taking a look at your ticket before you cash out here. read more

You're in Nebraska. You're in a state that raises lots of beef. So you expect great steaks. Sadly, there's only a few places that truly serve "great" steaks in Nebraska. 801 Chophouse at the Paxton is one of them. In fact, for me, it's right at the top of the list. When you arrive at the Paxton and enter the front lobby of 801 Chophouse you immediately realize that this place is about tradition, this place is about high class dining, and this place is about steak! As I usually do, I ordered their Wet Aged New York Strip, medium rare, seasoned only with salt and pepper. What I receive every time I order this is a thick cut (easily 1 1/2 inches or a bit more) of perfectly Prime Beef, seared to perfection on high heat, and served hot on a very warm plate. So many places fail on steak, because they cut it too thin, fail to sear it properly, and then throw it on a cold plate. It's the attention to these fine details that sets 801 Chophouse apart from most of the rest. Service is always very good. The servers at 801 know their menu, intimately, and can describe the preparation of every dish to assist you in your selections. They are trained to listen well, to be attentive, but not intrusive, and to focus on your enjoyment of the dining experience. This night was no exception. We added another one of our favorites - the crispy plate of hash browns with cheese and Haricot Verts with Onions. The Pan Seared Scallops, beautifully presented, were also buttery and excellent. Another great night at a GREAT steakhouse - 801 Chophouse at the Paxton! read more

We kicked off our first night in Omaha with steak -- because when in cattle country... you go big. I had about five reservations lined up (indecisive? maybe), but 801 Chophouse won out. It struck the perfect balance of high-end steakhouse experience and truly great meat. There are more "local" spots, but I was in the mood to lean fancy to start our family road trip right. And honestly? So glad I did. Service was excellent -- attentive, thoughtful, and totally on it. They even seated us near the bar, where a little train runs overhead. It was perfect for our kids, who were mesmerized. The food? Next level. We ordered several half sides to share: the boursin mashed potatoes and mac & cheese were kid-approved hits, and the sautéed mushrooms with boursin were my personal favorite. We also tried the signature loaded hash browns -- not the group favorite, but still fun to try. I got the petite filet, which was unreal. So tender, flavorful, perfect. My partner devoured the ribeye like he hadn't eaten in days (in a good way). It's technically a chain, but don't let that fool you -- this was a standout experience. Top-notch from start to finish, and I'm really glad this was the pick. read more

First time at this restaurant while visiting in Omaha. We had a fantastic experience, our waitress was very knowledgeable about each cut of meat and explained them all. The food was great, I had the salmon and it was full of flavor! The meal was well paced, and we enjoyed our time very much. read more

What a huge disappointment. With a beautiful restaurant downtown, staff dressed in green jackets reminiscent of yesteryear, and the extensive time and effort put into telling us all about the meat, the grill, and the aging process... I take no pleasure in saying that I've had a better steak at Texas Roadhouse. The steak was basically flavorless. I couldn't believe how underseasoned it was. I won't be receptive to explanations such as, "We don't use salt or pepper so the flavor of the dry-aged beef can shine through," because it simply did not. Parts of my steak were perfectly cooked; however, some parts were overcooked. I just can't say enough about how terrible the seared foie gras was. Like, how?! I love foie gras--I order it almost every time I see it on a menu. Who knew you could make it flavorless with the texture of the "chicken" in a Lean Pocket straight out of the microwave? Not me, that's for sure. The French fries came out hot and well-seasoned, but they weren't crispy all the way through. The carrot cake was good but would have been better without the caramel sauce all over it. I did enjoy my Old Fashioned--it had a pretty good kick to it without being unbalanced or tasting overly strong. The old-school steakhouse vibe is fun, but the overall dining experience was ruined by a loud table of underdressed and seemingly overserved guests who kept shouting and scream-laughing at their own hilariousness. Couple that with forgettable, overpriced, and poorly executed food, and you'll understand why my wife and I were so disappointed. At these prices, the list of better options for dining in Omaha is limited only by the number of establishments that are open. read more

First off this place was a last second book. We really wanted to try a different steak house but this one was available and had reservations open. My biggest gripe is their pricing compared to others in the area. They have higher prices compared to the rest. I ordered a ny steak, prime rib bites, crab cake, and lobster mac and cheese. All were good. My wife had a delmonico she shared with a friend of ours. She believes it was underseasoned. We ended dinner with 2 souffles for dessert, chocolate and orange. The orange didn't taste like orange and just tasted the same as the chocolate so not sure what was going on there. Had to knock it down 2 stars as their price cost way more for more traditional steak house food as compared to a second steak house we went to that had lower prices and maybe better tasting food. read more

Come to Omaha for steak and you will probably leave satisfied. Had a hard time choosing dat 1 steakhouse we would try during our brief stay in Omaha. This came out on top. I'm very much a high-end steakhouse foodie. Comparing this place to other high-end steakhouses I've tried across the country, including Hawaii, this is a solid 4 stars to me. Service was excellent. And we came on a weekday for dinner so it wasn't too crowded and loud. This place is more expensive than other steakhouses in Omaha though (Hawaii price levels), but we thought the quality of the food was overall very good. Many reviews here that already vouch for that so wont go into detail. The appetizer and steak selection is vast compared to other Omaha places, which was a big draw for us. they dont have valet parking on weekdays. Maybe Friday though. Gotta find street parking if no valet. Would we come here again? Probably not - there are so many other good steakhouses in Omaha and, honestly, the quality of the steak to me was on par with what we can find in some of the high end steakhouses on Oahu. But it was worth the try. read more

Excellent service, food, and beverages as always. The seafood in an excellet steak place is great. But please bring back the original Troon. Also bring a big wallet when you come. But worth it read more

Amazing steaks and amazing service. I came on a Tuesday evening with 3 co-workers. There was plenty of seating available, but I heard it gets packed on the weekends. The dining room is large, with velvet booths and private rooms. The menu ranges from apps, meats, entrees, toppers, sides and dessert. They also bring fresh bread to start. I ordered a Ribeye medium on its own. It had great marbleization and fantastic flavor. The sides were incredible as well. Highly recommend the brocollini, mashed potatoes and the Brussel sprouts. The four of us were too full to finish our steaks and sides. The menu is on the pricey side, but can be worth is for a work meal or a nice night out. read more

Amazing meal, great service. Would go back again and absolutely recommend. Steaks were cooked perfectly, the lobster mac and cheese had huge amounts of lobster. The chocolate soufflé was delicious! read more

My mom loves 801, so we went for a nice dinner while we were in town. It was a nice restaurant and felt like a traditional steakhouse. The service was good, and the food was good, but I do feel like overall, it's overpriced. My favorite was the lobster mac n cheese, while my husband loved the au gratin potatoes. We grabbed a drink at the bar prior to our reservation during happy hour, and I will say that the grapefruit drink was SO good. I don't like grapefruit and I loved it. read more

Everything was absolutely amazing. The prime rib is melt in your mouth. I wasn't disappointed at all

My colleagues and I were in town this past weekend for a conference and were looking for a nice steakhouse to celebrate after the event. This place was excellent! Everything we hoped for. From the jumbo shrimp cocktail, to the filet mignon and broccolini to the GIANT cheesecake slice for dessert, we were in heaven. They put us in a small alcove to the left of the main bar which was quieter and much appreciated. We also had a tv across from our table which was a nice touch given that March madness finals were going on. While this place is certainly pretty high dollar for dinner, if budget is not a concern, then I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice evening in Omaha. read more

801 Chophouse - 8oz Petite Filet Mignon w/ Cognac Butter and Portobello Mushroom Ragout - Steakhouses Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

A fantastic steak restaurant in a city full of great steak restaurants. Pricey, but better than anything I've had in Omaha. While you can go in shorts and a polo, we dressed up (suit for me, dress for my bride) and were not out of place. This is fine dining but not pretentious. Decor: This is not your 1970s restaurant that is dark and outdated. A beautiful interior that is comfortable and romantic. Entrance: Enter through the Paxton hotel doors. The 801 Tap Room is on the corner and is not the restaurant. Seeing us all dressed up, the Tap Room hostess showed us where the entrance was. (Durectly behind valet booth.) Drinks: An incredible selection of whisky, whiskey, and rye. Great Old Fashions. We did not try their beers or wines. The table next to us ordered an espresso martini, which looked interesting. Prices here were reasonable. (A+) First course: I ordered the lobster corn chowder, and it was the creamiest and tastiest soup I've had in a long time. My wife ordered the chophouse salad and raved about it. (A) Steaks: I ordered the 16oz ribeye, and she ordered a filet. Both came out perfectly cooked, well marbled, and was THE best steak I've had in Omaha. They offer Wagyu sreak at $34 per ounce with a 4 ounce minimum. We did not splurge that much. (A) Sides: Sides are family-style, large, and expensive. They were good. Not knowing they were so big, I got a loaded baked potato, and she got garlic mashed. I wisk we'd mixed it up. (B) Service: Service was generally good. It seemed better at other tables, but for some reason, the manager assigned our table to the bartender, which made the service slow. (C) Price: This is the reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Our dinner here cost 2x as much as a similar (but inferior) meal at our other steak houses in Omaha charge. With tip and 2 drinks, it was over $300. I was a little surprised, but since we were celebrating, I was not doing math as we ordered. :) A fantastic experience, but one we'll likely reserve for our next big anniversary or major life event. read more

The best steakhouse I have been to in a while! I found this place while traveling to the area for work and it did not disappoint! I had the best ribeye I've ever had and the bartender who served me was very friendly. A very cool place to go to! The bar was beautiful and has a huge wall of Ryes and Whiskeys. read more

Holy smokes folks. Omaha... Omaha... SET! Hut, hut. Get to 801 if you're in town. Kept it simple, 14-ounce New York (wet aged). Temperature was perfect medium rare plus. Seasoned perfectly. Light char. The surprise happiness arrived from a baked creamed spinach side. Wowzer. Ingredients: Grated Parmigiana cheese topper, finished under the broiler, soft and crispy amazingness. For the spinach goo, add flavors of Anissete Liqueur, Fennel Seed, definitely has fresh Garlic somewhere, a little salt and pepper. Diced Shallots. Then add the cream, which was reduced significantly (not a sloppy mess like most you'll have). I'm on the fence if this is the best creamed spinach I've ever had. Pappas Bros. in Texas a close second or maybe first. Service was outstanding. Senor Rick was amazing at the bar. I had the "don't put baby in the corner bar seat" and happy to have it. Run don't walk to the 801 Omaha. Tell Rick Del Mar Dave from LA sent you. Sorry about the bathroom pics but the Mens Room was spotless. Another old school move - ice in the urinals. I'll be back! read more

We came from out of town and wanted to eat steak in Omaha, so we chose this restaurant based on reviews. We really enjoyed our dinner here. The ambience is really nice. We sat at a table near the bar so we could enjoy happy hour. The kids (and me) enjoyed watching the little train chugging along around the bar. The drinks were good, I had a delicious grapefruit martini with a sugar rim, and I don't usually like grapefruit. The food was really delicious - crab cakes, lobster corn chowder, steak, lobster and shrimp pasta. I recommend all of them! Overall a great meal and night out. My son even left a nice review for the chef. read more

We just had the most amazing meal. We started with tuna tartare. The way it was prepared was delicious. My hubby & I ordered the prime rib & New York strip. We added the cognac butter w/ portobello mushrooms. Bar none, our steaks had to be the best we have ever had. For sides we had the French green beans & asparagus. For dessert we had crème brûlée. Dessert was the only was a very slight let down. It was prepared slightly differently than we expected. It was a more firm crème. I was really amazing meal. 10 out of 10. We will be back soon. Our server was David. He was very attentive. His recommendations were spot on. He made the experience just that much better. read more

Went here for dinner on Friday night, and from the moment we walked in, everything was outstanding. Our server, Colleen N., made our night. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure our glasses were never empty. The ambiance throughout the restaurant was inviting and comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection - tender, flavorful, and practically melted in our mouths. From start to finish, it was an exquisite experience, and I cant wait to return! read more

Amazing prime cut of beef. The production of the service is amazing. Take your time and enjoy all the historical imagery and ambience which adds to your goal of enjoying the highest quality of beef. Try the bone marrow too. read more

simply the best prime rib in the country! So good it's hard to believe that you're putting something this juicy, tender and delicious in your mouth. Sides don't disappoint! Save up....its pricey. But it's worth it! read more

Located on the outskirts of Old Market, the historical Paxton building hosts this steakhouse. Reservations are highly recommended, and you will get seated quickly. I enjoyed the salad and sourdough bread. The steak was aged well, but the scallops were on the salty side. Rhurbarb pie slices are homemade there, and the tadte is very succinct. Parking is easily found on the streets. Overall, it is a good selection for a Chophouse in Omaha, the steak capital of the country. read more

Was so delicious, especially the braised bacon. The service was wonderful. It's expensive, but a great dinner.

Delicious food, excellent wait staff & guidance on different food selections. Even ordered a couple more meals to take home. read more

This is Omaha's best steakhouse, in my opinion. Definitely a step above mahogany with a lot more charm in the Paxton downtown. It's definitely a special occasion type place, unless you are sitting on some cash, as the price point is high. They have a large selection for steaks, both wet and dry aged, some sourced locally. The quality is phenomenal. If steak isn't your thing, the scallops are the best I've ever had. The staff is very educated on the menu and will take good care of you. read more

Superb! The food was excellent. The service was good but our server wasn't polished as I had expected. I would definitely go back there!

Hands down best steakhouse in a city full of great steak. Service is old school and impeccable. Steak is sublime. The only catch is the cost-dinner will cost several hundred dollars for 2. We like to go on Sunday for their prie fixe menu. $62 gets you salad( highly recommend the wedge), 6 oz filet or prime tib and dessert. read more

Food was delicious, however like other reviews mentioned, i do feel as though it was a bit overpriced. Service was good, but not as good as i would expect for the level of dining. Overall ambiance was good. read more

Celebrated our dinner here! We got the surf and turf for two with bone marrow butter because why freaking not. Bone marrow anything is fantastic I'm shocked they even had this in omaha, definitely hard to come by. Highly recommend getting it! Our porterhouse steak was cooked to medium rare perfection, and our 2lbs lobster was exquisite 10/10. We got creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes 5/5, the potatoes was the best, the cream of spinach parm crust on top was magical but lightly seasoned 3/5 We got our celebratory dessert and it was amazing, the ambiance of the place was so romantic I love that Sarah our server was SO knowledgeable, up beat and so kind. Highly recommend coming here the steaks are USDA PRIME (kinda hard to come by, shockingly in omaha, NE) read more

We have gone to 801 Chophouse from the first opening & I am overjoyed it has become that classic upscale Steakhouse it deserves! I liked the Sunday eve special they offered & it was a hit with our friends also. It gets a bit pricy but the Bar serves the best Dirty Martini you will experience! Also feel like I am in Chicago when up at the bar. I know because we have a Condo there & it's a bit like " Gibsons" read more

On a Friday night, I sat at the bar during happy hour. I ate the cheeseburger and fries and had two Lucky bucket beers. The two barkeepers were very professional and fund to watch their skills. The beer and burger were on point. However, the fries were soggy and not good. I couldn't finish them, so deducting a star for that. I am hoping that they try a different french fry supplier. read more

From the onset the bartenders seemed overwhelmed and just strictly business! Not a friendly vibe at all! We were there with a party of 13 family members. Celebrating a graduation and retirement! The waitress also seemed overwhelmed! After the main course, tried to discourage us from ordering desert. Stated that they were busy and it would take a while. We ordered anyway. For the amount that we paid, with the 20 percent gratuity added up front! The staff being a bit more friendly would have made the experience worth the tab!! read more

The experience at this restaurant was good but it definitely should have been better for the money. When we walked in, it took a good 5 minutes before someone came to greet us even though the bartender saw us. When we were seated the service was slow, we had to ask for drink refills and the server was friendly but kind of aloof. For the cost of the bill I've had much better service elsewhere. read more

My husband and I have been looking for an excuse to try this steakhouse, so we decided to treat ourselves here for our anniversary. Our experience was great! This steakhouse is definitely a Top 3 in Omaha. Not only was the bone-in ribeye delicious, but everything else we got really complimented our experience. I highly recommend the lobster tail bites if they have them (seasonal - should be on the menu because they're so good). Be prepared to spend some money if you eat here, but the good thing is the portions are big. My husband and I split the steak and green beans. With the bread, app and French onion soup, we didn't need much more to fill us up. Definitely will recommend this place, and we'll go back. read more
