10 Best American Restaurants near Omaha

“Best burgers around! Everything I've had here has always been exceptional. Great beer selection, always ice cold, always got good music on. Well worth taking the Omaha bypass when coming through Harrison and Branson“

“Second time here and was as good if not better than before. Their location has moved in the past year but it's not much further than it was before. We highly recommend the loaded hash browns. Their portions are big so if you aren't starving you could easily share. The service is always top notch too! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED“

“Went for breakfast buffet, made reservations but really didn't need to (at 9am). Cool looking restaurant, wish the weather has been nicer so we could have sat on the deck. Service was super friendly and attentive. Coffee and food were great--better than a hotel breakfast buffet, for sure! Had an omelette station, too. A tad overpriced for the size/selection of the buffet, but all the restaurants on the property are geared towards tourists and a bit overpriced.“

“I have eaten at this restaurant quite a few times and I keep going back! A lot of the food is made from scratch and they have large portions! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! It’s just a great place all around. If you haven’t eaten there yet, I highly recommend it! You won’t be disappointed!“

“The food here is spectacular. It's a little more expensive that you would pay in town but once you see the portion size, you'll understand why. They seem to always be understaffed for some reason which takes so long time for specifically alcoholic beverages, and appetizers to come out in a timely manner. Plus getting your ticket at the end takes a wee bit.

But you can always make a reservation here and I promise the food is always going to be delicious. Worth the wait.“

“My daughters and I dined here and I am absolutely stunned by the amazing views from every angle of the restaurant and bar!! Beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious! We will come back every year!“

“Kudos to the staff and chef last night (4/25/25). Our server, Cozmo, was superb and has the perfect blend of personality and attentiveness without being intrusive. The chef’s attention to detail and quality was obvious and much appreciated. It was all around one of the best meals we have had at Worman and we can’t wait to come back!“

“The serve at the bar was awesome!! The bartender ‘Tim’ was friendly and provided great service! We highly recommend the Buzzard Bar!“

“We were very happy with our recent experience at Mountain Top Grill. We were a party of 4 celebrating my parents' anniversary and had great service and really good food. We loved the venison tenderloin and the truffle chicken tortellini. The wrap and flatbread were just ok, but not bad by any means. We were even treated to a special dessert since we were celebrating, which was very unexpected and generous. The cheesecake was huge and we all remarked on how good it was. We booked a reservation after seeing good reviews and mention of the great views. We were not disappointed in either. I'd highly recommend booking a table around sunset to enjoy the beautiful views at their best.“

“Downstairs from the Osage Restaurant is the Buffalo Bar, a great alternative to the restaurant if you do not have the required reservation at the Osage. The establishment is only open between the hours of 4 pm and 9 pm, however, tables are abundant inside and on the huge patio. On clear evenings chances are good that you will be seated quickly.

On our visit, the hostess showed us to our table within a minute of arriving. Before long our server Makayla welcomed us and enquired if we knew what we wanted to drink. The punctual service continued without our meal which began with delicious complimentary mini loaves of fresh bread and rosemary honey butter. Such a fantastic way to start a meal.

This unique rustic, western-themed bar is just as much a restaurant as it is a bar; in fact, it features the same menu as the restaurant above it. If you looking for a cheap meal, you won't find it here, however, you will get a meal and an atmosphere that would put a smile on the late President “Teddy” Roosevelt's face. Yes, your wallet may groan a bit when you pay for this five-star meal but your tastebuds screaming for joy will drown it out.

To keep the billfold moans down, I decided to skip the very tempting beef options and go for the bone-in pork chop. Because the sides were $12 a piece, I opted for just one: the roasted corn. My girlfriend got the roasted chicken and did not notice that the sides were not included, so she ordered the sweet potato mash and the crispy Brussels sprouts. Everything was amazing and full of flavor!!

The pork chop was cooked as I ordered it, keeping its moisture and tenderness. It was easy to cut with a butter knife. Her roasted chicken was the same, just as sweet and juicy, not under or overcooked. The sides hit the spot as well. Even the pickled pears they garnished my plate with went well with the pork chop and the divine chocked cherry dipping sauce.

Thank you Makayla for doing an excellent job keeping us happy and kudos to the chef for the meal that I will always try to achieve from my own grill.“
