Gorats Steak House

I will admit, I tried to get a reservation at the Drover and could not which is why we ended up here! I ordered a whiskey marinaded ribeye for that reason. This was a bit sweeter than I expected it to be but, the meat was very tender and easy to cut. Next time, I would probably try the Filet. Not 100% on par with what I have had elsewhere in Omaha but, not bad by any means. I had a crème brûlée for dessert which was delicious! Perfectly broiled top and very creamy/vanilla inside. Would for sure order this again!

In summary -our entire experience was extremely strange. The place was almost empty. Server was not at all welcoming or friendly. Only a few other customers were there so she certainly couldn't have been stressed with too many customers. We arrived at 2 pm ( for our reservation) to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday . We wanted steak (go figure - at a steak house!!). The server advised she'd need to get the "okay" from the chef to serve steak. (WTH?). Strange, again. Hooray! We ordered a ribeye and a T-bone. Also ordered asparagus and truffle fries. (Neither was provided and no explanation was provided. Strange. Yet again. Took 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive. Strange again. Ordered tiramisu which was a brownish-ish looking ick thing - (3 very thick layers) bottom layer was heavy & wet. We each had a couple of bites. Strange, again! The hash brown potatoes & ice water were very tasty. Hooray!! Will we return? Nope. Never. Not at their prices & crappy service. Nope. Warren Buffet's place? Again, strange. One & Done. Especially at their prices Wish we'd gone to our fav spot instead - The Drover, where the service & food are always spot on. The Drover. Where they make you feel like they're glad to see you at The Drover.

I've been here twice on travel. First time I ordered the Cowboy steak (28oz) med rare, and it came out about 70% blue in the middle. Had to have it re-fired. Pretty bad for a steak house, and never as good as a properly prepared steak cooked once.Second time I went excited since I figured the first time was a fluke, so I ordered the 24oz porterhouse, med rare. SAME THING again. Not quite as comically undercooked as the first one, but not far off. For a steakhouse that's as many chances as a steak house is going to get.I will say the other apps were good, and the service was as well, but this is a steakhouse, and if you don't do that right then... c'est la vie!

We came as a group of ten to celebrate the birthday. The ambiance was good and we heard this is a classic steak house and has been Warren Buffet 's favorite restaurant at his home town . Service was good and the menu has many great options . I was very disappointed because my steak was way over cooked . I ordered medium rare . Waiter was nice but I may not come back for another celebration.

Busy Valentine's night. There's a noticeable difference between Japanese wagyu and the one we have--you can tell. But I love the wagyu here too; it melts in my mouth. They offer four types of salt, and I feel like there's MSG in one of them, which I loved.

This place has been around for something like 80 years and a well known spot in Omaha. I visited once many years ago and recently stopped in for lunch. On a recent Saturday we were 1 of two tables. But we really enjoyed our coffee and brunch items. The portions were enormous...I recommend splitting brunch items, neither of us could finish our meals.Our waitress was really friendly!

Much like his investment strategy the Wizard of Omaha is on to something. Apparently a favorite locale of his, a sign boldly claiming the finest steaks in the world beckoned me after a 400 mile drive brought me to town. The decor is identical to a Wisconsin supper club (IYKYK). Service was friendly and FAST. From sit down to standup it was 40 minutes. Delicious food. Small side salad but homemade dressing. Great SNP cocktail. Had the 12oz whiskey ribeye. However. The steak was a very thin cut. Not a problem. Unless you favor the rare to medium rare and order it as the latter. Next time I will order rare with a sear. Also. Arguably the best mashed potatoes I've had at a restaurant in years. Very nice all around.

I was going for a local, old school type of steakhouse and came across Gorats and I am so glad I did. I like steak, but try not to eat red meat much. The steak I had was immaculate! Really good apps as well. 10/10 service and ambiance.

My visit here was to pay homage to the place which my grandfather haunted 80 years ago.Looking here, there is a mixture of good and bad reviews of this place. Here is what i recommend as you page through:1. Ignore Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting reviews. Why one could think they would be qualified to give a review of food or service when they're at a banquet escapes me.2. Remember Coastal Elites, you are in Nebraska and they don't serve Cortados, La Croix, etc.Keep a open mind (Yes i am a Coastal Semi-elite so i can say that)3. Gorat's does not need you.4. If your review begins with, i don't eat steak, or, i am a vegetarian, consider other options.This is an iconic Middle American Steakhouse. Paneled walls, carpeted floors. The food is created without allow of pretense. The service is unpretentious too. Mom's serving steaks.The steak is great. Yes, i know Warren likes the Whiskey glaze. Skip it unless you like teriyaki steak. Go bigger that usual, get it 130 degrees.Yes, get a side of onion rings.

I normally don't like steak but I thought this steak was really really good. Thai is Warren Buffet's favorite steak house. I can see why! There's a booth of his seat. People reserve it so they can sit in his booth!
