    There's a split plate option and we chose to split a 22oz porterhouse
    Michelle R.

    Like many others we came here to see what Warren Buffett eats. So I made a reservation for my anniversary and we were floored when the hostess seated us at THE table that Mr Buffett usually sits at. Mind you it's literally in a room that used to be a closet but who cares?!. We ordered the Porterhouse and split it, adding asparagus for extra veggies. Prices are on par with other steak houses. Service was good. We tipped extra well since we got seated in THE special room

    I went to Gorat's with a group of friends for NYE. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Our server. Ellen was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Service was top notch. Our table shared the calamari and the bruschetta. I'm not a big fan of the calamari but my friends enjoyed it. The bruschetta was perfect and provided large portions. I ordered the 8 oz filet and baked potato. The steak was cooked perfectly. The potato was large and well cooked. My husband got the chicken parmesan. The serving was enormous. He enough for another meal. My friends all had the whiskey ribeye and lobster tails. Nobody had leftovers. They all enjoyed their meal.

    We chose Gorats for our New Year's Eve dinner and it was a perfect spot! Our server was friendly, paid attention to our order and extras. Portions were huge for the price. I almost needed a bigger plate for just the potato and steak. Huge dining areas and even the lounge was decorated for new years and a set up for people to eat dinner in there. Not too many old steak houses left in Omaha and this is a staple not to pass up.

    I took my dear elderly neighbor out for dinner here Saturday after Tgiving. There were many other table celebrating a non- turkey dinner as well. Our waitstaff and front of house were delightful! We started with the truffled and candied bacon billionaire deviled eggs. There were 8 pieces so it is appropriate for 2-8 people to share. I really enjoyed my tender and flavorful whiskey ribeye. My dear neighbor enjoyed her walleye which was served with a butter sauce. She said it was quite rich, so she took half her meal home for dinner the next day.

    I can understand why this is Warren Buffett's favorite steakhouse. The space is cozy and the food smacks. I enjoyed the jumbo-sized onion rings, which were lightly battered yet crispy and crunchy. Conventional wisdom might tell you not to order a rare ribeye but who cares? Take a look for yourself. The steak was almost too pretty to eat.

    Busy Valentine's night. There's a noticeable difference between Japanese wagyu and the one we have--you can tell. But I love the wagyu here too; it melts in my mouth. They offer four types of salt, and I feel like there's MSG in one of them, which I loved.

    This place has been around for something like 80 years and a well known spot in Omaha. I visited once many years ago and recently stopped in for lunch. On a recent Saturday we were 1 of two tables. But we really enjoyed our coffee and brunch items. The portions were enormous...I recommend splitting brunch items, neither of us could finish our meals. Our waitress was really friendly!

    Was amazing. Our sever Ellen was great. The food was just want you want out of a steakhouse. I had the whiskey ribeye with the lobster Mac and cheese. Sorry no photo of that. I was so excited I forgot sorry. My husband got the salmon and he loved it. They put us in this little nook with just our table for two. I don't know if it's because of my birthday or not but they also gave me a birthday card. Just had a great time. Can't wait to go back.

    My visit here was to pay homage to the place which my grandfather haunted 80 years ago. Looking here, there is a mixture of good and bad reviews of this place. Here is what i recommend as you page through: 1. Ignore Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting reviews. Why one could think they would be qualified to give a review of food or service when they're at a banquet escapes me. 2. Remember Coastal Elites, you are in Nebraska and they don't serve Cortados, La Croix, etc. Keep a open mind (Yes i am a Coastal Semi-elite so i can say that) 3. Gorat's does not need you. 4. If your review begins with, i don't eat steak, or, i am a vegetarian, consider other options. This is an iconic Middle American Steakhouse. Paneled walls, carpeted floors. The food is created without allow of pretense. The service is unpretentious too. Mom's serving steaks. The steak is great. Yes, i know Warren likes the Whiskey glaze. Skip it unless you like teriyaki steak. Go bigger that usual, get it 130 degrees. Yes, get a side of onion rings.

    Steak dinner , overcooked

    We came as a group of ten to celebrate the birthday. The ambiance was good and we heard this is a classic steak house and has been Warren Buffet 's favorite restaurant at his home town . Service was good and the menu has many great options . I was very disappointed because my steak was way over cooked . I ordered medium rare . Waiter was nice but I may not come back for another celebration.

    I normally don't like steak but I thought this steak was really really good. Thai is Warren Buffet's favorite steak house. I can see why! There's a booth of his seat. People reserve it so they can sit in his booth!

    The tempting exterior.

    Oh my , these fried , char grilled bone in wings are so delicious!…read moreCannot wait to enjoy them again. Servers were right on the spot. It was so busy , yet being sat, and served seemed fast ! Nothing fancy ! Comfortable, I liked sitting by the windows. Only one toilet in each bathroom. So you may have to wait awhile there. Just writing this makes me hungry for those wings again.

My wife and I both ordered the Everett's #2 with pulled chicken, coleslaw, and BBQ sauce. Everything just worked together perfectly. The chicken was tender, the slaw added the right crunch, and the bun tied it all together. It was one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you just look at each other and know you made the right choice. We also ordered the Saucy Rossy wings and they were the perfect heat level for both of us. Not so mild that they're boring and not so hot that you're suffering. Pro tip: get them fried and grilled. The extra texture and flavor are absolutely worth it. My wife is a total Brussels sprouts snob and she was absolutely in love with theirs. The funny part is that I'm usually not much of a Brussels sprouts person, but I kept asking for more off her plate. That alone should tell you how good they were. The fries were okay. Nothing that stole the show, but nothing to complain about either. The service wasn't the best during our visit, but they also had a 30-person table they were dealing with, so it was completely understandable. Even with that, the food was so good that it's already a top 3 meal for my wife. We'll definitely be thinking about those sandwiches, wings, and Brussels sprouts until we're back, and I don't think that'll take very long.

    Truly a gem, which explains why it's so popular amongst the locals. It's located in downtown Omaha,…read moreand attracted lots of visitors on the weekend that my partner and I were in town. Most of the highlight was the various types of burgers and fries they had, so my partner and I got two kinds, and we both enjoyed our respective meals. I had the block burger, which was as good as I imagined it to be, with juicy patty cooked to medium and every ingredient needed to make a good burger. The poutine had a lot of beef gravy and cheese curds, which made the dish a comprehensive experience to consume, rather than just fries. The duck duck goose fries were amazing! The duck confit, cheese curds, mayo, gravy, and gooseberry gastrique combination worked super well on top of the fries, because they altogether basically made it a gourmet dish that I had to eat with a fork. Finally, the sloppy nick was seasoned very well, even if we got the vegan version, which used impossible meat instead of ground beef. It was still really great! Hope everyone who visits Omaha gets to try this spot! Their wall has quite a few articles that recognized them as a locally renowned burger joint, and I could see why. Since they can be busy, I would recommend people getting there earlier to secure a good table spot, if dining in.

    Having just got to town and hungry for lunch I walked a few blocks to Block 16. I came because I…read moreread amazing reviews about them and saw they won numerous awards. I also checked out their menu and noticed it was definitely a unique, interesting menu. Upon walking in, there was a line backed up to the door and I waited in it about 15 mins and it didn't move one person, but I used this time to check out the menu and decide what I wanted. After noticing the line not moving and the cashier in heavy discussion with the family that was there placing their order, I felt it might be best to use their online ordering for carryout pickup instead. While doing this, the line moved up once and I suppose that next party had questions too and of course, plenty of time was spent answering those questions. This might seem like good service, but when the line is that long, either have more people there taking orders or use a kiosk for those of us who don't need to ask questions, or remind guests that there are many others in line (probably after the first 5 mins of discussing the menu) and the line needs to move up. After I placed my order, it told me it was accepted and gave me a time range of when to expect my order. I sat down and waited until the end of that range, which was only a few mins, and then went back up to the pick up area to ask about my order. The lady working was very friendly when I explained what I did. She gave me a number and told me she'd bring my order out, she also gave me the drink I pre-ordered. A few mins later, she brought my food out. I looked around to notice that people who were waiting for food prior to me still hadn't gotten their food. I'm not sure if it's always this slow in there or if it was busy because there's a conference in town. Opening the clamshell that my food was in - I noticed a beautiful sandwich and fries. The fries were piping hot and crispy and tasted great. The sandwich looked really nice, but when I went to pick it up, I noticed the entire bottom was soaked in grease and their hot sauce that was on the chicken. So, I fork & knifed this meal. The flavors of all the parts of the sandwich together were nice, just wish I could have picked it up without being a mess. If I ever returned, I'd get something different.
