The food was amazing. This was my first visit while on vacation. Loved it. Service was spot on, friendly, and attentive. It was a quiet place. Some music playing. Comfortable. But so delicious. Will definitely return on my next vacation visit to the area. read more

We waited at our table an hour just to get our drinks and that was after asking about them. Then our meals took a couple hours to come out even though the place was not that busy. Food wasn't warm and some of the portions were smaller than what a kid's serving would be. They put our party in a back room and it's like they forgot about us. We were surprised they didn't offer to take our drinks off or something. Very disappointing all around. read more

In town for work. Dinner tonight was the 14oz ribeye, with grilled asparagus. Salad with blue cheese too. The salads was good, although I would have liked a bigger plate. The steak was cooked just right, with good char. Service was great, and the atmosphere of the place was good. read more

We visited this Steak House on our way from Red Bay Alabama to Washington State. So glad we did! Man alive did the owner Jon Savely produce a magnificent Lobster Ravioli and also a Crab Spaghetti. The color was unique in that it was black, this was done by adding Cuttle Fish ink to the batter. The spices complimented the dish as did the Merlot wine. Salad was beautiful and tasted good. All this was served to us by Gerardo and assisted by Angie and supervised by Samantha! What a team. Atmosphere was upscale but comfortable and inviting. The entire staff literally fast walked from table to kitchen to get food on the table while piping hot, and were very attentive to our needs. We will truly be back when next we pass through Kearney NE. Neil read more

In 2017 I'd give this place a 5 star review. Even though it's expensive it was worth what you got. 2025 I give it 2 stars. Still expensive and the food is no longer worth the price. Cocktails were good read more

Ordered the Lobster Mushrooms, critical lack of lobster. Tasted like a crab salad mousse at best with too much mustard. On the other hand, I also ordered the Dry Aged Wagyu Ribeye and it was divine. Perfectly seasoned, great crust, and spot on medium rare cook.The whipped mashed potatoes, asparagus and aged tallow butter were wonderful accompaniments. Service was professional and friendly. The dining room was beautiful decorated. There were high tops, tables, and ample bar seating perfect for just about any occasion. I just wish I had ordered the scallops instead of those terrible mushrooms or my server had offered a better recommendation. Needless to say, I will definitely be back for more Wagyu the next time I'm in Nebraska. read more

Coppermill Steakhouse - Loaded salad! Yum! - Steakhouses Near Me - Kearney, Nebraska

We stayed in Kearney for a night on our move across country. Our hotel happened to be across the street so we decided to give it a try. This was one of the best meals we'd had in a long time. You can taste the quality of the food and everything was delicious. The drinks and wine selection were great! Our server was friendly, attentive, and answered all of our questions. The dining room is quaint and is great for families or a date night. If we ever find ourselves in town we will be back! Thank you for the amazing experience!! read more

Our meal was excellent! We were driving through and wanted to stop at a steakhouse, and this one had good reviews. Our server Gerardo was very attentive and the meal was fantastic. We had Asian Seabass topped with smoked salmon dip, creamy pesto risotto that was to die for! The sirloin steak was cooked exactly right at medium rare and the rosemary mashed potatoes were also excellent. read more

I had the Prime Rib which is only offered a few days per week. It was absolutely perfect! I also got the Brussel sprouts. They were roasted perfectly, and I like them just roasted with salt. These had a whole lot more going on: slivered almonds, bacon, some type of balsamic dressing.... Service was very good, even though we were dressed in shorts and t-shirts, they treated us as if we were in formal dress. My husband had the barbecue bacon cheese burger and he said it may have been the best burger he ever had. read more

While in Kearney, Nebraska one is faced with a fairly narrow selection of cuisines: basically steak and potatoes (or burger and fries) are the predominant options here. That is not to say they aren't good, it's just natural given the community. Headed to the Coppermill Steakhouse for my bday. Of course a celebration deserves a great drink and the gin Martini was mixed delightfully. I enjoyed the Wedge Salad as our starter. Not a fan of bacon bits (or Gorgonzola cheese) so skipped those staples from the salad. I wound up jumping in on the New York Strip, which was fine but served medium as opposed to the requested Medium Rare. The sides were the better part of the meal though. Tasty mashed potatoes, rich with butter but the Blackened Cauliflower was unique, nicely (not overly) blackened and cooked to allow for firmness yet chewiness. Never looking for a freebie, it was mentioned that we were there celebrating a birthday. Not even a 'happy birthday' from the wait staff certainly didn't make me, or the place, seem special. read more

This place is a destination!! Fantastic food, great drinks and service and it is a beautiful atmosphere! Jamie was our bartender/server and made our experience so enjoyable! We travel to Iowa from Colorado twice a year and will make sure we stop there from here on out. The tallow candle with our steak was something we never experienced before, this restaurant staff truly makes sure you have a beautiful fun time. Trent & Terri read more

This is def a gem!! Traveling through Kearney. Had dinner after 10 hr drive. Amazing wine lust awesome food. Great service. 5 stars

Tried this place on our way through town. It was right next to awesome Hampton Inn where we stayed so we walked! Service was impeccable and friendly, Emily did an outstanding job! We made a reservation and when we got there, the table was already set for us with menus and waters. They took our drink & appetizer order within two minutes of being there. Drinks came out of the bar so fast. The whole staff was working together. Burgers were big and juicy, prime rib sandwich was outstanding. Fries are homemade daily as well as the blue cheese and ranch dressings for the salad. The bacon belly appetizer was so delicious and the Nebraska cheese fries were insane. Big city five star steakhouse in small town Nebraska. We were very impressed. The ambience and decor were upscale, beautiful, and made it a calm environment. Great experience! read more

The food was fantastic, Service was top notch and wonderful Ambiance. We really enjoyed the ribeye steak and prime rib, with mashed potatoes. Specialty salad dressing was superb. We were driving through on way to CO and so glad we stopped with Yelps recommendations. read more

Stopped in Kearney for the night. Steak and Nebraska go together like peas and carrots. Off we went to Coppermill which was walking distance from the hotel. Started with the Nebraska Cheese Fries. Huge mountain of house cut fries, covered in blackened, braised steak tips, BBQ sauce, bacon and "house made" cheese sauce. Although the "house made" cheese sauce sure tasted a lot like Velveeta to me, it was all still delicious. Sometimes, Velveeta does the job. Hus had the Ribeye and he said it was very good. Mushrooms in a wine sauce on top took it up a notch. I had the New York Strip and the same mushroom topping and it was very good. Asparagus on the side were a little anemic. Believe it or not, what I enjoyed the most was the Dorothy Lynch salad dressing. If you've never had Dorothy Lynch, it is a sweet, spicy dressing kind of like French but way better. DL is made in Nebraska. For those who know, know corn, Big Red and Dorothy Lynch = Nebraska. Steak too. But I love me some Dorothy Lynch. read more

On the road traveling, stopped for the night. Figured we were in beef country, so wanted some prime rib. It came out with a butter knife, I'm thinking yes, will be super tender...it was not, the waiter observed me sawing away and asked if I would like a knife. Even with the steak knife, it was the toughest prime rib I've ever had. Ate like a sirloin, yuk. Also, they charge for horseradish! I asked the girl, I'm like it's prime rib, it should come with horse radish! They also charge 2.5% for credit card. Super disappointed... read more

Great dinner at the bar. Bartender was fantastic, I splurged on a great steak & top quality glass of wine. No regrets at all. read more

We went for a birthday party. I ponders service, huge portions, great night! Would return for a special occasion again!

This is a nice steakhouse with good food, but narrow menu. In all fairness, I did not get a steak. They have a robust lineup with pricing average to above average. I did find it odd that it was sort of a casual place, but the menu was pretty high-end. People were dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, yet many of the steaks were well over $50. The chicken breast sandwich was good. The breast was quite large and thick. The breading was light. So, it's definitely on the healthier side of all the fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had. I would totally try this place again. I did not have a steak and felt like maybe I was shortchanging them. read more

Coppermill Steakhouse - Chicken breast sandwich - Steakhouses Near Me - Kearney, Nebraska

Went there at 8:00 ordered steak it was good. However, They said they were out of mashed potatoes and baked potatoes. They gave us frozen fries that were old and hard. If you are staying open late you still need to make quality food, especially at $40 dollars a plate. read more

Service was good. I started off my experience w/ a glass of riesling. I passed on my salad for a side of mac & cheese. The plating was great but the taste was not up to par in my honest opinion. The mashed potatoes were lukewarm and taste like they came fresh out of a box. The mac and cheese was giving me cafeteria quality. The salmon flavor was awesome but it was terribly overcooked. The asparagus and Riesling were the stars of the show on my plate! However, the steak plates LOVED the ribeyes and felt indifferent about the Brussels sprouts. read more

Coppermill Steakhouse - Nebraska Steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Kearney, Nebraska

A cursory review of the internet revealed that Coppermill Steakhouse & Lounge, was well reviewed and even more importantly located nearby. I should've run from this place as soon as I met the indifferent host. Hey, I'm sure you don't want listen to me crap all over a restaurant, so I'm going to crap all over . . . myself. Why do I too often visit a strange city and end up eating at a crappy restaurant? My charred steak, the loud music and cold service (the place was physically chilly) was a real bummer. I was pissed off at myself for paying steakhouse prices for an Applebee's experience, as Jimmy Buffett would say "but I know . . . it's my own damn fault." I'm not sure how it will be accomplished (though I'm quite sure without the benefit of TripAdvisor reviews), but I subsequently made a vow before God that I will do a better job at locating better meals while traveling. read more

Had a late dinner here after a long day of travel. It's a nice place with a varied menu. We decided to eat at the bar as the restaurant was pretty crowded and noisy. We had a lovely evening thanks to our bartender, Mark. He was very attentive and friendly and he made our evening very enjoyable. Hubby had the 90-day aged ribeye and I had the filet. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and pretty tasty. Not the best steak we've ever had but not bad, especially for the price. It you're looking for a more upscale place in Kearney, I would highly recommend. read more

had reservations at 6:15 on a friday night. was shocked to see it nearly empty on a weekend in a busy part of town right off the interstate. the menu feels disjointed. you can tell they are trying some new things while keeping people with less experienced pallets happy. this is definitely more of a steakhouse than a seafood place, btw. they have very limited seafood dishes. we started with the meatballs which were great, and a super large portion. i ordered the sirloin as my main with mushrooms and broccolini. the steak was fantastic but the veggies were wayyy over salted. my dad got the prime rib special and it was just okay. i don't know if i'll be itching to come back, but wasn't a bad meal. however, the service is excellent and the drinks are great! read more

Coppermill Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Kearney, Nebraska

We arrived in town for business and it happened to be just about dinner time. Coppermill Steakhouse is across the street from the hotel we were staying at and a quick Google search shows this is one of very few non-chain restaurants in town. The decision was pretty easy to make. I'd call this place a classy steak house but don't feel like you have to dress up to eat here. There were plenty of jeans and cowboy boot wearing patrons (and many locals, especially older adults). We kept an open mind when we arrived because it was just weeks after a great flood wreaked havoc on the community. Surprisingly, you could barely tell. There was a makeshift host area (at least I think it was makeshift) but overall, the place was nice. I liked the decor and the low lights, the brick walls, and the cooler where steaks were waiting to be picked. First impressions as far as decor, nice. Service, eh. We had to wait a while for a host or anyone to welcome us or seat us. Employees are young, most of them looked like high school/college student aged. When we were finally seated, our server was great! Personable, attentive, friendly. We were notified right away that many of the dry aged steaks weren't available due to the flooding and storage issues. Which was fine, those are the priciest on the menu, and I figured since this is a steak place the regular old steaks are probably pretty outstanding too. The food, overall, was just ok which should explain the star level I selected. One of my friends ordered the Nebraskan burger with a Cesar salad. The burger was too charred, the salad lackluster. I had a fatty, thick 10 oz KC Strip (asked for it medium rare but it arrived more medium/done) and loaded potatoes (at the waitresses recommendation). My other friend at the table ordered the exact same meal. I was disappointed in the steak. The cut saved it from total failure because it was juicy but it had a bitter burn along the outside and a little salt and pepper could have taken it the next level. I've always been a fan of letting the meat speak for itself and rarely use steak sauce or season it myself, but salt can go a long way when preparing meat and the cook missed the point. The bitterness of the burn is mostly what I tasted. The potatoes were awesome, almost a meal on their own. They are hearty with a smoky, bacon flavor The salad was a huge disappointment. It was very small, gone in about four bites. The ranch dressing was yummy, though, and had a touch of dill. My friend who is NOT picky about food agreed that the steak was bland - a miss for a steakhouse. Overall, we decided that the leaner cuts of steak tended to be overcooked and I recommend avoiding them. Unless the chef figures out how to cook a steak properly, which is a shame we should even be saying this at a steakhouse. Don't dismay, however, if the Coppermill is your only choice when you're in town. The food isn't terrible and the cocktails...worth a visit! I started with a glass of Meiomi. It was really nice. Very smooth. Probably one of my favorite Pinor Noir's (and it's only $20 a bottle at Target!). My friend and I also shared a Calamity Jane. I LOVE bloody mary's, especially a mean one like this Calamity Jane. It was packed with so much flavor. The curry was an AWESOME addition and took the bloody mary to a whole new level. Yum!! Here's what is included in the drink: Housemade mix bloody marry mix with toasted cumin, ginger, curry, garlic, Kim Chi spice, and a dash of Tabasco over Chase Vodka. Finished with our Housemade beef jerky, bleu cheese stuffed olives, lime wedge, and sweet dill. I travel to the area a few times a year for business and will likely find myself back at Coppermill. Again, great place for drinks. Prices are too high to not have an out of this world steak, though, so hopefully next time it will be spot on. read more

Traveling late night on 6/25 to Colorado and stopped in Kearney for the night at next door hotel. Starving for dinner we arrived at the Coppermill just as they were ready to lock the door at closing. But the manager welcomed us in and assured we'd be taken care of. There were 5 of us and we ordered a wide arrange of items from their menu, along with drinks as we engaged in pleasant conversation with the bartender and waitress. The food was outstanding - from the appetizers & salad to the prime rib! The restaurant had very nice decor and we really enjoyed ourselves. On our return trip we planned to have dinner there again at the Coppermill, but arrived in Kearney too late and it was already closed. Five stars! Thanks for accommodating some weary and very hungry late night travelers with your great hospitality! I highly recommend the Coppermill. read more

The grilled salmon is on point! This restaurant is in a small strip mall close buy several hotels on the edge of town. Perfect place to walk to for dinner if you are staying in the area. This is my go to dinner spot in Kearney for a nice sit down meal. They have THE BEST Grilled Salmon I can recall ever eating. The Hickory grill gives amazing flavor and they cook it to perfection every time. The potatoes and the carrots were excellent. The carrots have a teriyaki/sugar glaze that makes eating your vegetables a treat! They offer homemade bread and a whipped garlic butter with their dinner menu and I honestly could eat a whole loaf of the stuff, very tasty. They also have a nice bourbon selection including a signature drink involving hickory smoke which is fantastic (no picture as I skipped the alcohol this trip, but trust me it's worth the $13). Overall the service here has always been top shelf, they greet you at the door, always check up on you during your meal, and promptly bring you the check when requested. I've never left unsatisfied. read more

Was lucky to find this place - not many options short of fast food between exits, very rural driving from Denver to Eastern Iowa. Solid 4 stars. 5 for service I sat at the bar and Alora took great care of me - excellent bartender and good conversation! Went with the Wedge Salad served traditionally and the Kansas City steak. Now I've never heard of this dessert before, the Pizooki, but don't leave without trying it. Outstanding if you like cookie dough. Another nice think about stopping in there are plenty of hotels, fuel, and other options while visiting. read more

We got food Togo and it was mediocre at best. The $12 Caesar salad we ordered was the size of a side salad and the bun for the burger was somehow wet and stale at the same time. The restaurant was not busy at all when we ordered so I'm not really sure why the food was so off. The atmosphere looks great inside, and maybe it would have been better if we dined in but after our experience, based of the to go food, we will not be back. read more
