    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Is there a dress code?

    When I went I was in shorts and a tshirt. I was worried when I walked up, but it was not an issue.

    Are there nightly seafood specials? Or, just the limited seafood that's available as an appetizer?

    Does this place have happy hour?

    Yes, every weekday from 4-6pm at the bar.

As an older guy now, the most surprising thing was how many college-age straight-ish folkz there were (can't know for sure, of course - but that's what it looked like) It warms my heart to see how friendly, open, and accepting that crowd is. Keep Leading the Charge, Omaha! That being said, I feel that we're losing spaces where just gay men hang out. I miss the sexy, cruisey, brotherly vibe of some of the old haunts. Still, it's a fair trade to see so many ages, genders, and presentations all having fun together. My husband - who is born & raised in Las Vegas - where we live - said "Why do I have to travel to Omaha to hang out in a really great gay bar?!" WTF, Vegas?! Times change, but The Max is eternal!

I was surprised that this is a cash only spot--we were not prepared so didn't have too much on hand. Overall the drinks were fine--they often overpour, but my biggest complaint was waiting at the bar for about 10 minutes of while we watched others come and go--getting served before us. My guess is these are regulars, as we probably stuck out quite a bit in nicer clothes that we came from a party in. Other than a long wait the service was fine. The good thing about this spot is how unique it is--definitely feels like you are not in Omaha anymore! I can see how a lot of people enjoy the vibe, but it is just not my spot with the music too loud to understand anything, and people bumping into you at every angle. Still a decent location for an after party type thing on occasion! I just wish the bartenders we saw didn't pass us over for other guests for so long.
