Gotta love Ole's. I've been several times. It is the go-to spot if you're traveling off I-80 or…read moreheaded to CO and need a legitimate lunch or dinner spot. 2-3 miles off the interstate. The ambiance is fun (taxidermy animals all over) and retro bar decor, but I also think the food is just consistently great. I usually get the sirloin, always cooked to perfection. Last time I got the hash browns, definitely pay the $2 charge to make them cheesy with sautéed onions and green peppers, sooo good! The Mac was classic rubber Mac and cheese, but if you like that it's what to expect. They were fairly busy the last time I was there, but got seated right away at the bar with excellent and quick service provided. A Nebraska staple you don't want to miss!

* Vintage vibe, decent steak, but pricey + stomach issues*…read more Stopped at Ole' S Big Game Steakhouse in Paxton because my brother said Nebraska does steaks right. The place definitely has character - it's vintage with taxidermy everywhere. Polar bear, giraffe, bull, deer heads on the walls. Feels like you're eating in a hunting lodge. *Food*: I ordered the boneless ribeye, medium rare. It was an average steak - easy to chew, but had more fat than I'm used to and the flavor was nothing special. Didn't dislike it, but wouldn't call it memorable. My daughter got the steak sandwich and my wife got the steak burger. We all agreed the food was delicious at the time. *The catch*: A few hours later my wife and daughter both had upset stomachs. I just felt bloated. My son was fine. Could've been a one-off, but worth mentioning. *Price/Service*: Restaurant itself is pricey. Menu items are fair, but the steaks are expensive for what you get. Service was fair - nothing bad, nothing great. If you're passing through I-80 in Paxton and want the experience/vibe, it's a stop. If you're driving out of your way for "best steak in Nebraska", I'd keep going. The taxidermy is the main attraction.
