50 Best American Restaurants near Elkhorn

“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!“

“I visited Jukes recently while driving across the country and staying in Omaha. It was excellent, I really enjoyed my meal and the beer.

What's better is how responsive the staff was when I realized the next day that I had left my jacket. They shipped it to me in Colorado, and did not accept my offer to pay for shipping. That's going above and beyond, and I am very grateful.

I will certainly be back should I find myself in that area again.“

“Friendly staff, fun environment.“

“The lunch menu is excellent. Great chicken fried steak and enchilladas!“

“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.“

“Had a work outing there, staff was great-especially Laney. Food was delicious and hot. Lots of variety of things to do, will definitely be back!!“

“Came to Omaha for a conference and it was within walking distance to my hotel. The bartender recommended a good beer 🍺 and the Tipsy Cuban sandwich 🥪 which were both good. Nice local pub to get a burger and a beer.“

“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.“

“Hosted a work dinner here tonight. Exceeded all expectations. Abbie was a dream to work with, she was equipped with recommendations, responded timely, and so so personable. It was busy, and every employee had it together. Quality is always consistent and above par with 402. I am proud to take out of towners here to introduce them to Omaha's 🔥 food scene. Thank you!!!“

“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.“

“Always awesome. Coffee always filled!“

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

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

“The food here is to die for! The burgers are massive, and there is no chance you will leave hungry after diving into one of these.

Everything was prepared quickly, accurately, and outperformed 95% of restaurants locally within the Omaha Metro area.

I will definitely be back for more amazing food in the very near future! Keep up the great work Warehouse!“

“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.“

“What a treat. From a very unassuming exterior to a non fancy interior came some awesome food! I had heard good things about Buck's so decided to take the drive and try the talked up prime rib. Buck's did not disappoint. I tried the Buck's cut of prime rib described as 'stupid huge'. It was. Needless to say I needed a to go box. Service was great, and yes the food was great. Give Buck's a try. They do not disappoint.“

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

“The food at The Island is so good! If you’ve been the past, just know that there are new owners and everything is better! The owners are friendly and welcoming. Staff is friendly. My favorites on the menu are - crab rangoon - made in house. Real crab. The best you’ll ever have. Club sandwich - we went on a club sandwich hunt and this is one of the best in town. Cuban - my husbands favorite Buffalo chicken mac - yum! Karaoke on Saturdays is always a fun crowd Free live music on Fridays“

“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.“

“Amazing food, good service and comfortable atmosphere“

“Met some of my favorite people in the world here!!! My favorite Omaha place for years now ❤️ thanks for having me“

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

“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. 😊“

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

“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.“

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

“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.).“

“Brunch was amazing! The flavors mixed so well. Beautiful ambiance and kind waiter. Ordered a few different dishes to share and try. Took the rest home and warmed up nice and still just as yummy! Can’t wait to go back when in Omaha.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The food is incredible, and their outdoor seating area in the back is beautiful and peaceful. Couldn’t recommend Beyond Golf enough!“

“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!“

“I love the butter burgers and custard! Absolutely delicious every time. The changing flavor of the day is fun. Be prepared for a good wait tho, not the fastest of fast food, and to be asked to pull up to the side in the drive thru, which seems to defeat the purpose of a drive thru but to each their own. I do wish the cheese curds were more like Freddy’s. Overall good food.“

“great food, great service.“

“Spencer the bartender is so freaking amazing! She’s always friendly and makes sure customers are taken care of in a timely manner!“

“A lot of tempting menu items, but since it was our first time, I went with the Railcar Mac, and my wife went with the Salmon. My wife love her salmon, and I loved the mac, just wasn’t able to finish it because it was so rich. Will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items I was curious about.“
