50 Best American Restaurants near Elkhorn

“First time trying Jukes and we will be back! We started with the Brewpub Pretzel, warm crispy exterior, soft insides. Our main dishes were Bacon Jam Melt (they need to jar and sell the jam), and Fish and Chips, it came with three large pieces of fish. I believe the best part were the tatortots. I could not get enough of them. I'll probably be back tomorrow and you should too.“

“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!“

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

“I am very familiar with Culver's and have eaten there in a few states. The food was consistent with what you'd expect at any Culvers. My only issue was, it did take quite a bit of time to get the food. I almost thought they forgot about me.

Also the ketchup dispensers were not really working all that well. It took a look of action to get some ketchup.“

“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.“

“Street tacos were amazing!! Onion rings…. Amazing! Everything gf! I had not had onion rings in 2years. Our waitress was a total delight and very helpful. I can’t wait to go back.“

“We did the Star Wars trivia night and had a blast! Abby was an excellent server! Everything was great!“

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

“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!!!“

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

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

“Wow! This is the first time we have ever been to this Culver’s location. The staff were exceptional- especially Mr Les. We left feeling totally loved and blessed. It was a blessing to go to Culver’s today. While I don’t live close to this location, I’ll be sure to return whenever I’m in the area!“

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

“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.“

“Our party of six had great service and everyone enjoyed their food: beef tips, ribs, Monte Christo sandwich, baked potato soup, wrap, and Grilled Chicken pecan salad. Would definitely eat here again! The complimentary croissants with honey butter were great, too!“

“Always awesome. Coffee always filled!“

“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.“

“My singular experience was pleasant. I sat at the bar, and even though there were many small groups around it me, it was still a quiet environment. The music volume was very low, I can't tell you how much I loved that aspect. The bartender was a total pro. My food was delivered quickly and was excellent. I had the goat cheese balls. They were so amazing I pretty much inhaled them. Then I ordered the grilled salmon salad and oh my stars and garters, it was exquisite. I have attached a photo of said salad.“

“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.“

“We had a large party dining together, and our server, Vickie M., absolutely knocked it out of the park. From the moment we sat down, she was friendly, organized, and incredibly attentive. Managing a big group is never easy, but she handled every order perfectly—no missed items, no delays, and always with a warm smile.

She checked on us often without ever feeling intrusive, kept drinks filled, accommodated special requests, and made sure everyone at the table felt taken care of. Her professionalism and positive attitude truly elevated our experience.

Thank you, Vickie, for helping make our gathering so enjoyable. Outstanding service—we’d be happy to have you as our server again!“

“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 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.“

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

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

“This is definitely by far my go-to place for wings! I like them nice and hot and char-buffed and they never disappoint!“

“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.“

“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. 😊“

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

“Amazing food, good service and comfortable atmosphere“

“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.).“

“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!“

“excellent food & awesome gift ideas. wish you would open Cracker Barrel OLD Country Store in Kearney, Nebraska. I have to drive over an hour for your store. Thank you.“

“A new place for my spouse and me. A cut above Texas Roadhouse and Outback, which we also enjoy. Nice decor: comfortable and relaxing. Roomy and clean. I had a burger, done exactly how I like it (rare). Fries were good, too. Onion rings appetizer was very good. My wife had a grilled chicken strawberry salad which she enjoyed.\nThe service was outstanding! Our server Yolanda was friendly, capable and attentive. Their new manager also introduced himself to us and made sure we were satisfied. Very much! We were given complimentary ice cream for dessert, it being my birthday.\nA very enjoyable time to briefly get away.“

“If I can describe the atmosphere I would say very positive, family oriented and fun. Shevys is an awesome bar that I get to DJ at and I enjoy the crowd getting down. It’s one of the best bars I’ve played so far and the owner Shevy is awesome I’m glad I was able to meet her, very humble, great owner she takes care of her clients. I look forward doing more business here. Thank you and God bless.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
