We absolutely love having three options for food within the Warhorse Casino in Omaha! Our first visit was April 26 and then we visited again on May 3 for the Kentucky Derby menu. The first visit was my husband, son and myself. I ordered the wavy fries with the famous dip for our appetizer. Oh my gosh, this was so good! The fries were cooked too perfection, crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside. The dip is like an onion dip, and it was the perfect compliment. For my meal, I ordered the chicken tenders with a side salad and ranch dressing, green beans, a baked potato, dinner roll, and barbecue aïoli for dipping the chicken tenders in. The green beans are seasoned nicely but they are cooked al dente, and I like my vegetables much softer. The chicken was cooked well and it went very well with the barbecue aïoli. The salad with ranch dressing and dinner roll were good. I was very disappointed in the baked potato. It was not hot enough to melt the butter and, unfortunately, it was not cooked thoroughly. I was unable to eat it.
My husband ordered the big bacon cheeseburger with wavy fries and Sriracha ketchup. He loved his meal! The bar was flavorful and cooked to perfection and the Sriracha ketchup had a little kick to it that made the wavy fries even more delicious.
My son ordered the beer battered fish and chips. The fish and tartar sauce were very good. The fish was crispy on the outside and tender inside. He had the boom boom sauce with his wavy fries and it had a kick to it that sneaks up on you. He also had a side salad with ranch dressing and a side of chef's vegetables. The vegetables were very al dente, which he doesn't mind.
For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake. I thought it would be much larger and a shareable dessert, as that has been our experience at many restaurants. It's always too much for one person, but that is not the case. It was a little underwhelming, but it did taste amazing. I'd also like to add that our appetizer was brought out shortly after ordering and we were given plenty of time to enjoy that before our main entrée was brought to the table. Service was excellent and refills timely.
For the second visit, it was just my husband and I and they had a special Kentucky Derby menu that you were allowed to order from. I had to come back because I kept thinking about the wavy fries and famous dip! I'm officially hooked!
We ordered the wavy fries and famous dip for our appetizer. We did not receive appetizer plates. It arrived at the table and I was able to eat one fry when the entrées arrived. Not wanting our main tray to get cold, the appetizer went to waste. I told that to our waiter when he asked us if we wanted a to go box. I said we did not as it went to waste because it arrived at the same time as our entrées. He did not offer to remove it from the bill or anything.
I ordered the Ale Haus signature burger. I chose havarti for my cheese and wavy fries with the famous dip. It was cooked to perfection, tasted great as did the wavy fries and dip that came with my meal.
My husband ordered the derby dog with wavy fries and Sriracha ketchup. He enjoyed it very much. We were surprised that the price was only $5!
It was a busy night in there, but we still got to sit at a table by ourselves and enjoy our meal. There were some other patrons who were very loud and talking about a subject you normally wouldn't talk about during a meal. That was a bit disappointing as I don't want to hear about somebody vomiting when I'm trying to eat food.
I'm sure I will be returning frequently as I really enjoy the casino and I am officially addicted to the wavy fries and famous dip. read more
