Husker Steak House

Hidden gem in Columbus. If you don't go early, i recommend a reservation. My meal and appetizer were exactly what and how I wanted them. Very attentive and personable service. Good bar selection and cocktails. Also, very reasonable prices so great food and drinks at a friendly price = yes! Go have a steak or some killer prime rib!

I have never had a bad steak at the Husker House. It is a long established type of streak house evidenced by you being able to get a side of spaghetti with your steak. Yes, the place is straight out of the late 1970s, but that is part of the charm. The main dining area is nicely appointed with comfortable traditional steak house chairs and solid tables. Let's face it, if you're looking for Ruths Chris, then you won't be in Columbus, but you won't be pay those high prices either. It is a small town restaurant and it has that vibe to it. The bar area has TVs if you are interested in watching a game and it appears to be well stocked to be able to take care of most mixed drink combinations. There is plenty of seating in there and food service there as well. The servers have always been on top of things and done a good job of ensuring my drink is always filled. I am in the Columbus area about 3 months or so a year, eat there probably about once a week while I am in town and even though I know they don't remember me, they always treat me like I am local, valued customer.

Great service, and the food was really good.Good ambiance will be recommended for family gatherings.

I had the pleasure of eating at Huskers recently with a group from work. First, what a great atmosphere. It reminded me of the classic old steak houses. Next, the food was amazing. Everything from the appetizers and salads, through to dessert was great and our waitress was perfect. I look forward to eating here again soon!

As a local, everyone boasts about this place but I don't get it. I think it runs solely on nostalgia. But that's my opinion. We had gift card and ordered some of their better menu options including ribeye and sirloin. Everything was cooked fine and throughly--there were no complaints about the presentation. However taste and flavor are lacking. It was just unseasoned steak and basic diner level sides. Inside it's kind of an old fashioned experience--the lights are low and the decor looks unchanged from many decades-- but it's clean. Service is decent-- we had a hard working waitress who attended to us throughly. If you're looking for simple comfort food you'd be fine here but it's kind of hospital food bland level if I'm being honest. Just don't have high expectations.

Seems to be a local favorite... but honestly, if you're traveling through town for work or just stop over for the night... Pick a new restaurant! Husker's is dated and the food is mediocre at best. The waitress treat you like your 80 and in an old folks home... as bad as that is to say. Tip... Don't order the salmon from Nebraska! Can't blame Husker on this one, I should have known better than to order seafood from small town Nebraska :-/

After a long day of travel we were delighted to find this wonderful restaurant in Columbus. Service and staff at Huskers were amazing. I had the broasted chicken and it was delicious. We got seated and served quickly. Great experience.

Had a lovely dinner out with family just before the end of the year. We arrived just before they opened and we're seated right away. Good thing because the whole restaurant was full by the time we were ready to leave.Service was superb! It's been a long time since I've had the appropriate timing of my meal (as in we didn't have to wait for our next course and also didn't have multiple plates sitting overcrowded on the table). Everything we ordered came out cooked perfectly, was attractively plated and tasted great. The table ordered sirloins, prime rib, chicken fried steak and burgers - everyone left the table satisfied and happy.The price point is reasonable but will keep our visits limited to special occasions - which is ok.Go check them out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Fabulous local family business. Excellent service, steaks were cooked perfectly and delicious. A must when in town!

visited on 4/17/2024.Jeff at the bar seemed to be relatively new to the establishment. very pleasant person and very accommodating. My waitress also was polite. I ordered a 14 oz ribeye baked potato and a house salad with blue cheese. I inquired to Jeff (bartender) if their beef was locally sourced, he couldn't answer the question but referred me to the owner (Tim). When I inquired to the source of the beef, I was inform to the challenges that were being incurred to acquire a quality product grass feed product. ($32.45) for a 14oz ribeye. I have to state in my opinion which I'm not a butcher by any means. But this though a very tender cut of beef... it was the absolute leanest ribeye I HAVE EVR HAD. with that being stated, I expected a different experience. the beef had no marbling what so ever there was a prominent fat cap around the outer edge of the steak. I must admit that I'm disappointed in the steak. Though the steak was very tender there was absolutely no marbling whatsoever. I actually think in my opinion that I received a New York strip rather than a ribeye. Disappointed to say the least. I wouldn't put this on the top of my list for places to return to let alone recommend.for what it's worth save your $$.I do want to add great people seem to be around this establishment. So if you're looking for a social setting check it out! $$ out of $$$$$.professional Traveler.
