The waitress was friendly and prompt to come and get our drink order and to get it brought to us. Then our order was not long after that. A table of 4 and we received our appetizer quick enough and had time ro enjoy it before our order came. We all made sure to get something different so as to try as much of the menu we could. Burger, fries, cauliflower, chicken fried steak sandwich, pork tenderloin sandwich, onion rings, glue fries, drinks and im sure im missing something. Everyone left feeling very satisfied, and loving our choices and what we ate. The place is smaller and I can see once its a packed house it is probably noisy but its to be expected. After all it is a tavern. I will be recommending the place as much as I can and will visit again when I am in town.

Ben (in the hat) and Madison were incredibly welcoming, personable and genuinely made the experience memorable. Their energy and friendliness turned a casual visit into a highlight of my trip. I'll absolutely be back, especially if one of them is behind the bar! Heads up, if you use the men's restroom, take a couple of napkins with you as they have one of those recirculating dirty cloth towels to dry your hands

It is a seat yourself place where a waitress brings you a menu. They have daily specials! I originally went because so many of their pictures is a prime rib, they have it on Saturday according to the menu! I have the ribeye with macaroni salad, fries and roll with butter. My friend had the hot beef with mashed potatoes, corn and roll. She really enjoyed it all. My steak was cooked PERFECTLY! The rest of the meal with good. If I were to make a suggestion it would be less cheese in the Mac salad (but I know people love their cheese) and toast or warm the buns. Good Dr. Pepper! Music starts at 8pm I noticed.

The waitress was friendly but not very attentive and seemed flustered and discombobulated all night. The nice thing about this place other than the decent food is you can come in dressed in a bathrobe and still be seated! They don't judge! Of all the places in this town to eat, this was the only one that flavored their food! Kudos to you CK!

It has been three years since we were last in Nebraska, but Husker remains to be the best Steakhouse in the area. My cousin had the Chicken Fried Steak, our daughter had the Jack Daniels Sirloin and my wife, being vegetarian had salad, green beans and baked potato. All were excellent. The Jack Daniels flavor was a bit strong on the steak but she enjoyed it also. I was fortunate to have the last Duck special. It was remaining from the Thursday night Duck Feast. Wow. It came with Duck Stuffing, Sauerkraut with Dumplings and a huge serving of Duck. The hostess at the front was extremely friendly, and even checked on us to ensure a server was going to visit us. The server was excellent. She had perfect timing and was very engaging. Thank you Husker for being such a great Steakhouse and a great place to visit.

I wish it had been served hotter but was more warm when it arrived at the table. The gravy was a bit congealed but tasted good. The chicken fried steak itself was good and would have been great if piping hot. The pancakes were standard/good. Sausage wasn't my favorite--I think it wasn't seasoned quite as much as what I'm used to. Overall a quick and easy place to get a meal, but nothing spectacular. Service was great!

We tried checking reviews on Yelp for Ski's Bar and Grill but couldn't locate any. We opted to try a BBQ place next door that had positive remarks but unfortunately (or maybe fortunately as it turned out) it was closed so we decided to try Ski's and add a review for the next set of vegabonds. It took a while for our eyes to adjust, my husband knocked over a box fan in the dim light, but it wasn't an attempt to hide the food. Our meals were both excellent as bar food goes. I eat gizzards any time they are on the menu and my husband orders his "goto" hamburger when food is being prepared on a grill. Neither one of us was disappointed. French fríes accompanied our selections and they were plentiful, although a few of mine were undercooked and cold inside. Restrooms were clean, parking was plentiful, food arrived quickly and we left with full stomachs. We are glad we took a chance on Ski's in Columbus.

I did not try the wings, but my boyfriend liked these as well as his burger and fries. Overall, this is a good spot to come and grab a quick and cheap dinner. No complaints on what we got for the price!
