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.

I stopped by King Buffet in North Platte because I was really craving a buffet, and this place seemed like a good option. A little pricey but the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant experience. The restaurant itself was also clean and the food presentation was appealing. However, I was a bit disappointed with the flavor of the food since it lacked seasoning and just didn't stand out in terms of taste. Some of the options were also cold. That said I do appreciate the overall environment and how well-kept it was. I might give it another try next time I'm in town. read more

Although it is in a strip shopping row, the venue inside was pure Mexican, even to the point of Telemundo on the TV in Spanish. Prices are low by today's inflationary standards but you get what you pay for sometimes. We found the food mediocre. The rice is pretty bland but the refried beans weren't bad. The street tacos were made with fresh onions and cilantro but the marinated pork was over grilled and a bit dry. The flautas were fried perfectly but the shredded beef was bland. The guacamole had been piped from a pastry bag and was far to lemony.... a trick to make it last longer before it oxidizes. But with the guacamole the flautas were decent. The salsa was flavorful but extremely mild and I can only speculate that is the way the locals like it. And the chips were fairly thick and a bit stale; I couldn't tell if they make them locally or if they come from a restaurant supply store. I tried a frozen Mango marguerita and couldn't taste or feel any alcohol but it was a nice dessert. If you are traveling, this location is quite a ways from the main services at the north end of town where old U.S. 30 passes through. This place is decent if your expectations are not too high. Unfortunately ours were, lol.
