It is family friendly too! Located in Paxton, Nebraska on main street.

By far best place at Lake Mac / Ogallala to go enjoy some food and drinks…read more Great positive atmosphere and great service with very reasonable prices.

Great service, amazing food, neat place to eat. Worth the stop…read more Had the steak salad and I'm not normal a blue cheese gal but it was the perfect amount!

Plus the prices were within reason, we just came from a week Telluride, CO and will probably have to take a 2nd mortgage out. I recommend they branch out to Papillion, NE, it would be a huge hit. Well done Driftwood

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.

We stopped in at Big Springs Saloon and had such a great experience. Their special burrito was…read moreabsolutely delicious and very filling. The cheeseburger and fries were also a hit, and the crispy sandwich was both tasty and satisfying. The two women working, one behind the bar and the other in the kitchen, were so welcoming and kind, which really added to the charm. You can tell this is a spot where lots of locals gather, and while it may not be packed with tourists, that makes it feel even more authentic and special. My kids especially loved reading the story on the wall about the largest train robbery in the 1870s that happened nearby--it gave the whole place such a fun, historic vibe. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

So we were just driving through but we didn't want fast food. A lot of places closed at 7 and they…read morewere open till 9 so they won. I LOVED that you could just place your order, find a table and they'd bring it to you. Fill your drinks yourself so no bugging for refills. Definitely more of a rustic restaurant but clean and helpful people. Lots of fun menu options but they were busy so it was 45 mins for our food thankfully they had a pool table and shuffleboard! A kids area with some books and a chalkboard. We sat outside because we had been cooped up in the car and all the kids were playing on the big hill next to us! lol They ran out of fish n chips and they flew my husbands new order out in less than 5 mins

Open Range has always been one of my favorite spots in Ogallala! Great food and drink selection…read more Some of their burgers are definitely out there and it's fun to try them. Their appetizers are always great. Sometimes I find the burgers to be a little dry sometimes, but they're usually good. They have GREAT ranch, which is always a plus for me. Their Rancho Cobb salad is one of my favorites here. There is lots of seating, the staff is always great. A solid place to grab a good meal!

The Longhorn has been in business since 1933, but the current owner has owned it for three years,…read moreand has made a lot of changes. It's not dark and dingy any more, but bright, clean and a great place for locals to hang out. On any given night, you might find a bible study, a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, parties for birthdays, retirements, even bridal showers. Friendly bartenders, lots of televisions (every Husker game televised!), pool, darts, skee ball, TouchTunes music, the Longhorn has a lot to offer those who stop by. If you're hungry, they have Tombstone pizza, but the biggest draw back would be there's no kitchen.

The place is okay but our bartender named Emma or something (she slurred so much could not…read moreunderstand) smelled of WEED!! Yikes did not know it was legal in Nebraska, she was very rude spilled our drinks. She spent more time on her phone & hitting on married men. Maybe if they get some decent help it would be a good place. I understand since those kind of people were on unemployment the owners hire what ever. Take your money down the road to Ole's in Paxton, Ne.
