    Catfish with a baked potato
    Barbara S.

    My husband has wanted to come to the Plainsman for a long time! He just finished his medium rare steak! "Best steak I've had in a long time!" He didn't salt the steak it was seasoned perfectly. We had the salad bar - the blue cheese dressing was outstanding! I had the catfish, it was excellent. Well worth the drive! We will be back next time we come to Nebraska!

    Amazing value and food. Friendly staff. Very attentive. Everything is well seasoned and spectacular!

    Covered wagon salad bar of course
    Erin G.

    Old school Nebraska steakhouse atmosphere. Opened in 1978 - decor probably hasn't changed much, but I like that about it. Loved the covered wagon salad bar - although contents weren't amazing - needs more fresh veggies. They're known for their prime rib - mine was excellent, with fresh horseradish (not the creamy kind). The beers are super cold in frozen mugs, wine selection not so much. If you want great prime rib, baked potato and all the iceberg with bluecheese you can eat - highly recommend the Plainsman. Besides the prime rib, other menu choices not as top notch, mom had the pork tenderloin sandwich and wasn't as pleased as I was with the prime rib. The staff was super accommodating and very helpful.

    Murphy's Wagon Wheel - 10 uncooked sweet potato fries for $8

    Atrocious pricing, refusal to actually fill orders correctly, and portion are a complete joke. My…read moreother half ordered a pickup meal that included a sandwich, an extra side of pickle chips for $10, another extra side of sweet potato fries for $8, and a kids order of popcorn shrimp for $10. They decided to omit the fries that come with the kids order and add exactly 13 pickle chips to it. Providing us not with what we paid for and a disappointment all around. The popcorn shrimp was consumed with disappointment for a lack of fries, my partner was disappointed that so little pickle chips were received instead of the proper side that was ordered. $20 charged for one item that was worth less than the two items ordered that were falsely combined. Then we unpacked the side of sweet potato fries to find exactly 10 fries, for $8, I remind you. It looks like maybe one potato was cut up to provide this side. To feed all of us when we expected a container full of them. The real kicker is that they were still hard and partially uncooked. The sandwich was the only item that was provided correctly. This is the second time they've failed to provide an order as we made it. We will never be returning. What a joke. The food doesn't even taste that good. It all tastes and looks cheap. Photos: Sweet potato fries, sandwich order. Not pictured: The joke of the combined kids meal/side that wasn't filled correctly. It was consumed before we decided to write the review.

    Worst food I have ever had. Terrible. I've lived in Nebraska all my life and this was garbage…read more Service was OK. Food was awful. Yuck.

Taylor was amazing, our bartender made perfect martinis and the food was off the charts! The shrimp cocktail was six of the biggest shrimp ever, the Chicken Dianne was rich and delicious and hubby's Wagyu Ribeye was spectacular! The show stealer was the pork belly, it was rendered to the perfect melt point with a flavor all it's own, no sweet sauce, just pork! It's in the middle of nowhere but oh so worth the trip!

    We liked our dinner here but wouldn't make the effort to come back unless we were driving near it…read morevia the interstate on a trip. The salads were nice, good homemade dressing and they serve lovely bread and butter-I'd give those a Nebraska 4-4.5. The truffle potatoes were super dry, tasted nothing like truffle and almost impossible to swallow without a swig of water in your mouth. The prime rib was smoked so long there was almost no flavor except smoke. Perhaps some people like that but I just felt like I was getting colon cancer with every bite, plus they were full of fat too. I'd say at least 1/3 of the meat was fat in everybody's and you saw lots of picking and spitting. That makes a meal really annoying and a bit embarrassing. The baked potatoes were ok. Nothing to write home to mom about. The cocktails were ok, standard and a very light pour. Nothing fancy, no big ice cubes (lots of little melting ones making it hard to drink the cocktail) or higher quality garnish which one might expect for the price. Decent wine list. The environment is fine. It appeared clean in the restaurant, the bathroom and outside. Love the lower level lighting and tablecloths. Be careful walking in the second front door, there's a pretty big slope down. Fun history and very genuine, friendly, informative wait staff. Small town feel and quite busy. You can tell folks in the area love it.
