50 Best American Restaurants near Elkhorn

“Mike, at the bar, excels in personality and beverage suggestions and Brianna was an excellent server! Jake's food was amazing and Brad, the manager, made sure our experience was great! Shout out to Katelyn and Alexa for helping everyone when it got busy. We will definitely be back! The host, Brett, should be fired immediately, though. Was rude to my Wife when we arrived and we almost decided to leave before Mike jumped in to save the day. Thanks again, Mike!“

“If you’re looking for a family friendly Sunday brunch spot in West Omaha this is it! There’s a wide variety of yummy menu items or you can pick from a variety of fresh and flavorful dishes on the brunch buffet. The omelet station is where it’s at! Their chorizo will not disappoint. Most importantly the experience from the moment you step in the door is unlike most restaurants. The staff treats you like family and goes above and beyond! They even have a magician/balloon artist that stops by to entertain. To top it all off having an arcade and movie theatre all in one. For those on a budget it’s very inexpensive for what you get and they have a Loyalty program to save on your next visit. My girls and I look forward to our Sunday funday coming to this magical gem after church!“

“Friendly staff, fun environment.“

“Very friendly staff, pancakes were amazing and the freshly baked biscuits were over the top!!!!“

“Just a quick note to highlight our great dining experience. Last night, we had the pleasure of celebrating my father-in-laws birthday (around 530PM) at Charleston's Restaurant near Boys Town. Just want to brag on our server, Tommy for a bit. His energy, enthusiasm, friendliness, humor, and service was second to none. Oh, by the way, the food was delicious, too.“

“Always consistent on food and ice cream. If I can offer one suggestion.. if people are going to wait more than 15 minutes in the Drive-Thru for a cheeseburger basket, maybe wait to give them their ice cream until the rest of the food comes out.“

“always skim your milk when you're having a latte“

“We stop as often as we can when we’re driving from Kansas City to northern Nebraska. From our first visit, we’ve been impressed with everything from the pleasant service to the creative menu and dishes. My husband’s favorite is the VooDoo Chicken, but warns that it’s not for the ‘faint of mouth’. It’s delightfully spicy and goes beautifully with the accompanying cooked apples and al dente green beans.“

“Super fun place and Stephen is a great dj who hosts many fun trivia events!!!“

“The best food, cocktails, and staff 🤩“

“I can’t get over how great our server was. The red beard guy. And this is the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Wow. Speechless. Coming back next week.“

“Good food, short wait.!!!“

“Head Chef/Owner Anthony Kueper has set the bar high for other Omaha restaurants. His food is flavorful and unique. Chef Anthony has clearly honed his craft and deserves all the praise that can be mustered. Prices are excellent considering the quality of food and service. The unimposing facade of the building doesn't prepare you for the quaint elegance inside. You will not be disappointed with your experience here, regardless of which menu item you select. You really can't go wrong letting Chef surprise you with his tasting menu, either.“

“This has become our go-to local coffeehouse for afternoon dates and brunches. The coffee, food, and sweets are fantastic and the service is so consistently cheerful and relaxed that you can tell the staff truly love working at SKC.“

“We just ate there for our 6th wedding anniversary last night and it was an amazing experience!! Ally and the staff went above and beyond and made our night so wonderful and memorable 🥰 The food was outstanding and the Billionaire cocktail she recommended was delish! She made the dessert special and everyone even signed a card. She was so personable and genuinely nice, I can't sing Ally's praises enough, thank you again!!!“

“Always awesome. Coffee always filled!“

“Sapp Bros truck stop near I-80 and 144th street in Omaha, Ne at the Coffee Kettle Cafe with my server Kelly.

I had an enjoyable meal of a Home style cafe feel, and warm friendly service. I am loving the new ways that Sapp Bros is having restaurants nowadays!! Check out the fresh made food. I had chicken strips with Real mashed potatos, small side salad, and a slice of lemon meringue pie with sweet tea to drink.

Though next time i will be having the hand-breaded chicken friend steak with real mashed potatoes...😋 Yum!

Large enough room from 2 to 6 people at tables and booths, as well as a party room for a bit of privacy for meetings and/or get togethers, too.“

“Cheese curds, Cheese curds, AND CHEESE CURDS!

They know how to keep making the experience better! Double drive through lanes, mobile ordering with curb side pickup, and a large lobby for plenty of seating. This Culver's does right.

Also, great food, awesome cheese curds, and fresh frozen custard. Loves the flavor of the day and the exciting combinations you can make.

Fast Food done right, and fresh.“

“I've been in probably way too many times over the past month or so in an attempt to try everything on the menu. Besides one dish that I won't order out of personal preference, everything has been amazing. Definitely need to swing by for happy hour to try a few things not on the regular menu.“

“Delicious! Love the Veal dish that you kept from Brushi menu.“

“Fast, friendly, clean, and GOOD!! 10/10!“

“Delicious food from a local bar. Didn’t have the best staffing, only 1 waitress servicing the entire spot, but she was working hard and the food was worth the wait. The cauliflower and wings were our favorites. The chicken strips were huge! The chicken sandwich was also huge!“

“The atmosphere is unmatched. As far as country dive bars go, there's no one better. The food is unbelievably good and so inexpensive. It should be a crime. Buck, the owner and his staff create one of the best atmospheres you will ever experience.“

“Food is always fantastic!“

“Great people very laid back atmosphere. We will definitely be back“

“Great food and service. Very clean atmosphere. Love the tap handles displayed around the room up by the ceiling. Notice next you’re there for dinner or a drink.“

“45 minutes in the drive thru. Your food is good but really? Staff is short everywhere but never this bad.“

“Was there on Friday.Great atmosphere Had a good time. Bar tenders were friendly. Drinks are a little high.“

“I love first watch! They have so many options for my GF diet and everything is so healthy, delicious, and fresh! Rest assured, they also have the indulgent options for those with a sweet tooth and kids (choc chip pancakes!). My only regret is that I haven’t tried one of their fresh juiced concoctions during one of my visits. Definitely going to make that a priority next time. 😊“

“Bre was very patient, kind and helpful with us. She heard our grandson repeat crackers when she was talking to another person at the table who need crackers for their crab legs and when she brought those she also brought our grandson some crackers to eat. It was very sweet of her.

Parking: Plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: Our waitress Bre was very helpful by bringing a bowl of cherries for our grandson. She spent time talking to him. She did a great job.“

“The place is spotless. The foods delicious. The bathrooms are beautifully decorated, and modern. It's obvious the owners care about their customers comfort, and enjoyment. I also noticed they have many events. I went to their benefit poker tournament to play. I had the most fun I'd had in years.“

“We had a group of six and not one of us had a complaint. The staff, environment, and food was amazing.“

“I absolutely love this place, I order something different every time and I'm never disappointed.“

“I think its safe to say. Best breakfast I've had in Omaha. Coffee cake is amazing“

“So check this, I so enjoyed my 1st Pot Roast sandwich, I ordered again later on that night, of course at another location. DUDE, there was barely any beef on my sandwich. I was highly disappointed as the 1 I had earlier in the day was overflowing with meat.“

“Amazing food, good service and comfortable atmosphere“

“Always prompt and friendly service. Nice menu variety. Good food! Comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere. Nightly specials are great. A++++“

“We always get the spicy shrimp as the appetizer. It is awesome! The food was great (& we got there around 5), but the service was not great. We were not done with the appetizer before the salad came. We were still eating the appetizer when the entree came. I asked what they consider medium on doneness on a steak. We were told : "warm pink center". I cut into my steak & it was bloody. I sent it back for more cooking. That was taking longer than expected, so I ate the salad. ( strawberry salad is awesome!) When the steak was brought back, I just took it home.
I had ordered soda for my drink, hubby had flavored lemonade. I still had a lot left in my glass & the waitress brought me another glass of soda. Hubby ran out of lemonade & waitress was not coming around. I told him he could have some of my soda. He put his straw in my new glass of soda & then the waitress shows up with another glass of soda & a lemonade. We never drank any of the 2nd & 3rd soda. Had the waitress asked if I wanted another soda, I would have declined the offer.

Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is one level & no stairs.“

“What a fun night out to eat at Cheddar's. We opted to belly up to the bar for their famous drink called a pain killer. It's a beautiful drink with a coconut 🥥 rim and cherries. The service from the bartenders was fantastic, so we decided to eat at the bar. The bar is fully stocked and the experienced bar tenders work their magic with their delicious cocktails served strong and tasty. The appetizers were onion rings piled high with 2 different dipping sauces. We also tried the delicious fried cheese curds. The salads were crisp and wonderful. The menu boasts many items for lots of tastes, but we chose the ribeye and chicken fried chicken . We were not disappointed. Everything came out on time, hot, fresh and filling. The presentation was nice, too. The tvs were hosting the football games and the crowd was happy. Very friendly and accommodating staff. They knew how to work as a team to handle the crowd. It was packed but enjoyable. We had leftovers.“

“I like First Watch bc I can enjoy many things and still stay on track with my eating plan. I would’ve appreciated the option of whole wheat English muffins, but that issue is the same across the entire chain. The server was very solicitous of my daughter’s specific requests for my grandkids’ menu choices (extra plate to share one adult meal, subbing fruit for their potatoes, extra straws and napkins, etc.).“

“I reserved the back room and Josh was so easy to work with. The staff is so amazing and attentive. The food is great and the back room was exactly what I needed for my party!“

“Hosted a bridal shower there. Natalie was wonderful to work with. The food was very good, and the event room was the perfect size. An overall great experience!“

“Talia was the best waitress ever! 1st time eating there & will be back soon.“

“We had a group of six and not one of us had a complaint. The staff, environment, and food was amazing.“

“Wonderful prime rib special on Thursday night. Very delicious; melt in your mouth. The desserts are also amazing.“
