In-laws will be in Omaha next month and want a great steak. What would you gents recommend. Boiler Room, V.Mertz, Ms pub, Drover, Mahogany, or any other? Appreciate the feedback.

I have no personal experience, but my boss swears by the Drover. And he is like a real-life Ron Swanson.

Oh gawd my mouth is watering. Cannot go wrong with any of those.

I know people will laugh, but Red Lobster does a good steak IMO.

Drover is good, pricey. For some damn good Prime Rib and not too pricey, try Jericho’s.

One of these steakhouses needs to bring back an old Omaha tradition and offer a side of spaghetti. The oldsters would love it, and it would be the biggest cash cow since the wedge salad.

All the old Italian steakhouses offered spaget as a side: Mr. C's, Casio's, Caniglia's, Piccolo Pete's, Angie's, Malara's.

BTW, Johnny's Italian Steakhouse in Pillage (sic) Pointe has good steaks, as does Firebird. Not in Omaha, but there's a hidden gem in Hooper called The Office. HIGHLY recommend.

You can’t go wrong. Mahogany is great, but it’s too stuffy for my liking. I prefer the Drover or Flemings.

Take the 15 minute drive to Blair. Blair Marina.

Been to all listed in the thread. Best Ribeye…Prime Rib or Filet around. Reasonably priced.

Farmer Browns still around? I liked their prime rib – medium rare, or rare-Very tasty

Farner Brown has slipped a lot. Last time we went the green beans that came with my wife's order tasted like tin, the food was bland and not hot when it came to our table.

If it were me. I would avoid Flemings. Last time I was there. Ordered Ribeye. One of the worst steaks I've ever ordered from a restaurant.

Honestly I can make one that can compete, but I will say Committee Chophouse at the Cottonwood makes the best one!

All of these recommendations sound great.
The original Johhny's Cafe in South Omaha and Gorat's still has some great steaks.

Haven't been to Johnny's in decades. Used to go there when we hauled fat cattle to the stockyards. Cool place. Glad the terminal bldg is still there

Had a thought after I posted above. I remember , I believe, could have been in the 70s they closed. We thought they closed for good but turned out to be a very major remodel. Glad it opened again for sure and the remodel was very needed however the memories of the old place were special.

Farmer Browns in Waterloo had very good Prime rib generous portions to for a daughters cut. The hired hand is humongous…

Is The Office a strip club or is that only in Lincoln?

The Drover it is, though I also like sitting in the bar area of Brother Sebastian's and eating there for atmospheric reasons. BS steak is solid.

Look I know The Drover is what everyone is saying, but... It is not anywhere near as good as a steak at The Committee Chophouse or 801 Chophouse. The only difference is the price, and Gorats and The Drover are much cheaper.

I have had all 4

**update**

We went to V.mertz . Father-in-law said it was the best filet he’s ever had and I tend to agree. Service was world class .. the wine was well priced (bottles) and the filet and bread service was fantastic.

I appreciate everyone’s feedback and will try your other recommendations when I’m back in Omaha later this year.
