Steak was tough and I don't believe that the waitress liked the fact that I said, "I have gotten better at Texas Roadhouse." They did take the meal off the bill and just charged us for the salads and drinks which was $48.66. If I have to saw with my steak knife more than 2 times steak is touch. Service was very slow we were there for almost 2 hours. Hubby said we should just go. I said no because we are trying new places every Friday for Date night.

As tourists, we wanted to find a place in Omaha where the locals go for a great steak. The Drovers was recommended to us and it did NOT disappoint. We enjoyed a late night dinner. The Whiskey Filets were cooked to perfection - so tender you could cut with a fork and the loaded baked potatoes were delicious, as were the sauteed mushrooms. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The family-owned and operated restaurant is a gem--off the beaten track, but well worth the trip a bit away from downtown. If we were to visit Omaha in the future, we would definately go back!

Steak was incredibly good. I tried the Whiskey marinade and was amazed how good it was! So render melts in your mouth. I had the prime rib.

Exceptional dining experience! Service was on point and the food was cooked to perfection!!

Absolutely horrible!!! We went there last night and had to send our shrimp back because it was burnt. My husband ordered the family style au gratin potatoes and the top was completely burnt. The stakes that we had were walmart quality at best. We definitely won't be going back there or recommend anybody to go there.

Phenomenal dinner. Great atmosphere. What a great steak joint should look like.

Really enjoyed this local establishment. We sat at the Bar and partook of the whiskey marinated steak and a trip to the salad bar...

Had a friend recommend The Drover after he found out we were in Omaha for the CWS. We wasn’t able to get a reservation due to the high volume of people visiting at the time, so we opted to try and walk in. Surprised that we were seated by the great staff in about 15min. The atmosphere and staff were amazing! We had a party of four and two of us ordered the whiskey ribeye, cooked medium, and two ordered the filets. Loaded baked potatoes for sides. The potatoes were good even though mine was slightly undercooked. The filets were tender and had an ok flavor. Unfortunately, the whiskey ribeyes we ordered were not so tender. They seemed to be a cheap, lean cut of beef, with very little flavor. Very tough to eat. As a matter of fact both mine and my father-n-laws jaws were sore after eating the steak. Very little fat. We very disappointed to say the least as this place came with great recommendations. Maybe it was because they were overwhelmed and not prepared for so many people traveling to Omaha, but it would be hard for me to recommend this place to anyone. Price was to be expected, for a good steak. Not a good price for what we got.

Of the three times I've been here, my ribeye was cooked wrong twice. For a $55 steak, I expect the kitchen to get it right consistently, especially in a restaurant that's been around this long and has such a great reputation. Like others have said, the service isn't the fastest, but it's understandable in a place this popular that has a dinnertime crowd. The bar is by far the best part of the experience if you can find space.
I had not been to the Drover in years and the quality is not what it used to be. The cocktail server was beyond grumpy and the food was plated very poorly. The salad bar was underwhelming. The prices are comparable to other top steak restaurants so I will be going to those in the future.

Such a great spot to celebrate something special or in my case take my out of town parents to show them one of the best meals in the state.

Next time I make a reservation here, I will request a table that is not right outside the kitchen. We had to put up with a swinging kitchen door and the help throwing dirty dishes in a rubber tote all night. Also, our waitress seemed to just disappear at times. Another waitress took our order.

Everything was fantastic...steaks, burgers, baked potatoes, salad bar and dessert. We will be back

Everything was great except for the noise, but I could see why. The college world series was in town and apparently the drover was highly recommended.
