Petite Filet Mignon
Jim K.

Visited 801 Chophouse for the first time and the experience and food did not disappoint. Their steaks were as advertised - one of the best we've had! Service was outstanding! Our waitress, Sarah, explained all the necessary details to us as newcomers. She was attentive gave great advice from what she thought would be best for us after we shared our likes and dislikes. This is a great place for families or if you are visiting the area and looking for a great steak meal, this is the place.

I asked Chat Gpt which steakhouse in Omaha would be best recommended to someone from Chicago. 801 was one of four locations to come up and after visiting, I gotta agree with AI. It was superb. Every detail of our dinner was perfection. Service was attentive, but not overbearing. Friendly and accommodating. I don't think I could have ordered anything I'd dislike at this restaurant, but I did go with the petite filets topped with scallop and shrimp. Cooked exactly as requested. I kid not when I say 801 uses the highest quality beef, as well as, aging them in house. Another reason we chose 801 was the appeal of their sides compared to other local steakhouses. The baked potato was huge and the creamed corn needs an honorable mention as it's all I've been dreaming about since. If you want a location to impress guests, or the most difficult critics - 801 will not let you down.

I came in with a group of 10, and we had reserved a small private room, which worked great for us. Our server was a long time back, and did a fantastic job, taking care of us. When I asked if there was an espresso martini on the menu, she said they can come up with one, and four of us ordered this and absolutely loved it! I am personally not a fan of high price steakhouses, as I'm not a huge steak connoisseur and can't justify the price take. This meal was good, but in my mind was not near worth the price tag that came along with it. I enjoyed the Spencer, which came with one piece of shrimp, and one scallop -- this was my favorite part by far! Steak was cooked pretty well, one perfectly medium rare, and the other about medium, when I ordered medium rare for my steak. The sides all tasted great, mac & cheese and creamed corn for our favorites. The absolute best taste, which was a worthwhile value in my mind was the cheesecake we got for dessert! This was fantastic, although I wouldn't come back for a stake meal here, I would definitely stop in for dessert and maybe a drink. Unfortunately, our server did overcharge us, as we tried to make things easier on her by paying with one ticket, and analyzing this the next morning at home. We were supposed to get a free dessert for the event we were celebrating, and this was charged on the ticket. There were other minor discrepancies. Not a huge deal, but I would recommend taking a look at your ticket before you cash out here.

You're in Nebraska. You're in a state that raises lots of beef. So you expect great steaks. Sadly, there's only a few places that truly serve "great" steaks in Nebraska. 801 Chophouse at the Paxton is one of them. In fact, for me, it's right at the top of the list. When you arrive at the Paxton and enter the front lobby of 801 Chophouse you immediately realize that this place is about tradition, this place is about high class dining, and this place is about steak! As I usually do, I ordered their Wet Aged New York Strip, medium rare, seasoned only with salt and pepper. What I receive every time I order this is a thick cut (easily 1 1/2 inches or a bit more) of perfectly Prime Beef, seared to perfection on high heat, and served hot on a very warm plate. So many places fail on steak, because they cut it too thin, fail to sear it properly, and then throw it on a cold plate. It's the attention to these fine details that sets 801 Chophouse apart from most of the rest. Service is always very good. The servers at 801 know their menu, intimately, and can describe the preparation of every dish to assist you in your selections. They are trained to listen well, to be attentive, but not intrusive, and to focus on your enjoyment of the dining experience. This night was no exception. We added another one of our favorites - the crispy plate of hash browns with cheese and Haricot Verts with Onions. The Pan Seared Scallops, beautifully presented, were also buttery and excellent. Another great night at a GREAT steakhouse - 801 Chophouse at the Paxton!

First time at this restaurant while visiting in Omaha. We had a fantastic experience, our waitress was very knowledgeable about each cut of meat and explained them all. The food was great, I had the salmon and it was full of flavor! The meal was well paced, and we enjoyed our time very much.

What a huge disappointment. With a beautiful restaurant downtown, staff dressed in green jackets reminiscent of yesteryear, and the extensive time and effort put into telling us all about the meat, the grill, and the aging process... I take no pleasure in saying that I've had a better steak at Texas Roadhouse. The steak was basically flavorless. I couldn't believe how underseasoned it was. I won't be receptive to explanations such as, "We don't use salt or pepper so the flavor of the dry-aged beef can shine through," because it simply did not. Parts of my steak were perfectly cooked; however, some parts were overcooked. I just can't say enough about how terrible the seared foie gras was. Like, how?! I love foie gras--I order it almost every time I see it on a menu. Who knew you could make it flavorless with the texture of the "chicken" in a Lean Pocket straight out of the microwave? Not me, that's for sure. The French fries came out hot and well-seasoned, but they weren't crispy all the way through. The carrot cake was good but would have been better without the caramel sauce all over it. I did enjoy my Old Fashioned--it had a pretty good kick to it without being unbalanced or tasting overly strong. The old-school steakhouse vibe is fun, but the overall dining experience was ruined by a loud table of underdressed and seemingly overserved guests who kept shouting and scream-laughing at their own hilariousness. Couple that with forgettable, overpriced, and poorly executed food, and you'll understand why my wife and I were so disappointed. At these prices, the list of better options for dining in Omaha is limited only by the number of establishments that are open.

Come to Omaha for steak and you will probably leave satisfied. Had a hard time choosing dat 1 steakhouse we would try during our brief stay in Omaha. This came out on top. I'm very much a high-end steakhouse foodie. Comparing this place to other high-end steakhouses I've tried across the country, including Hawaii, this is a solid 4 stars to me. Service was excellent. And we came on a weekday for dinner so it wasn't too crowded and loud. This place is more expensive than other steakhouses in Omaha though (Hawaii price levels), but we thought the quality of the food was overall very good. Many reviews here that already vouch for that so wont go into detail. The appetizer and steak selection is vast compared to other Omaha places, which was a big draw for us. they dont have valet parking on weekdays. Maybe Friday though. Gotta find street parking if no valet. Would we come here again? Probably not - there are so many other good steakhouses in Omaha and, honestly, the quality of the steak to me was on par with what we can find in some of the high end steakhouses on Oahu. But it was worth the try.

My mom loves 801, so we went for a nice dinner while we were in town. It was a nice restaurant and felt like a traditional steakhouse. The service was good, and the food was good, but I do feel like overall, it's overpriced. My favorite was the lobster mac n cheese, while my husband loved the au gratin potatoes. We grabbed a drink at the bar prior to our reservation during happy hour, and I will say that the grapefruit drink was SO good. I don't like grapefruit and I loved it.

My colleagues and I were in town this past weekend for a conference and were looking for a nice steakhouse to celebrate after the event. This place was excellent! Everything we hoped for. From the jumbo shrimp cocktail, to the filet mignon and broccolini to the GIANT cheesecake slice for dessert, we were in heaven. They put us in a small alcove to the left of the main bar which was quieter and much appreciated. We also had a tv across from our table which was a nice touch given that March madness finals were going on. While this place is certainly pretty high dollar for dinner, if budget is not a concern, then I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice evening in Omaha.

Holy smokes folks. Omaha... Omaha... SET! Hut, hut. Get to 801 if you're in town. Kept it simple, 14-ounce New York (wet aged). Temperature was perfect medium rare plus. Seasoned perfectly. Light char. The surprise happiness arrived from a baked creamed spinach side. Wowzer. Ingredients: Grated Parmigiana cheese topper, finished under the broiler, soft and crispy amazingness. For the spinach goo, add flavors of Anissete Liqueur, Fennel Seed, definitely has fresh Garlic somewhere, a little salt and pepper. Diced Shallots. Then add the cream, which was reduced significantly (not a sloppy mess like most you'll have). I'm on the fence if this is the best creamed spinach I've ever had. Pappas Bros. in Texas a close second or maybe first. Service was outstanding. Senor Rick was amazing at the bar. I had the "don't put baby in the corner bar seat" and happy to have it. Run don't walk to the 801 Omaha. Tell Rick Del Mar Dave from LA sent you. Sorry about the bathroom pics but the Mens Room was spotless. Another old school move - ice in the urinals. I'll be back!

The best steakhouse I have been to in a while! I found this place while traveling to the area for work and it did not disappoint! I had the best ribeye I've ever had and the bartender who served me was very friendly. A very cool place to go to! The bar was beautiful and has a huge wall of Ryes and Whiskeys.

Ask the Community - 801 Chophouse

Is there a dress code?

When I went I was in shorts and a tshirt. I was worried when I walked up, but it was not an issue.

Are there nightly seafood specials? Or, just the limited seafood that's available as an appetizer?

Does this place have happy hour?

Yes, every weekday from 4-6pm at the bar.

They definitely have/had some pretty high prices compared to other eateries in the area. I'm not sure if that is caused by cost of goods or location or what, but I think that did come into play when a lot of economic hardship is happening all over. Like I mentioned above, I DID like their food, but it definitely had to be a special occasion type of thing, due to the high prices. When we did go, I LOVED the Maryland Crab Dip. It reminded me of my favorite crab dip in the world, at the SweetWater Brewing Company in Atlanta. We also had the Green Bean Almandine that was on special last time we went and that was pretty good, but you have to be a green bean fan, for sure. I decided to try the sushi as my main dish last time, and had the Everything Crunch Maki, which consisted of cooked salmon, jalapeño, and cream cheese. It was pretty good, and had a little hint of spice to it from the jalapeño, which cut the heavy cream aspect. My husband had the Grilled Atlantic Salmon for his entree, and gave me a few bites. It was cooked well and the mushroom risotto below it was very flavorful and filling. The cute nautical ambiance and excellent service were always appreciated, so no complaints there either. I think if they had been in a different area with less expensive rent and cost of goods, I may have visited more often.

Most of the highlight was the various types of burgers and fries they had, so my partner and I got two kinds, and we both enjoyed our respective meals. I had the block burger, which was as good as I imagined it to be, with juicy patty cooked to medium and every ingredient needed to make a good burger. The poutine had a lot of beef gravy and cheese curds, which made the dish a comprehensive experience to consume, rather than just fries. The duck duck goose fries were amazing! The duck confit, cheese curds, mayo, gravy, and gooseberry gastrique combination worked super well on top of the fries, because they altogether basically made it a gourmet dish that I had to eat with a fork. Finally, the sloppy nick was seasoned very well, even if we got the vegan version, which used impossible meat instead of ground beef. It was still really great! Hope everyone who visits Omaha gets to try this spot! Their wall has quite a few articles that recognized them as a locally renowned burger joint, and I could see why. Since they can be busy, I would recommend people getting there earlier to secure a good table spot, if dining in.

For starters, we had the bacon-wrapped shrimp, which came with mushrooms on the side. It didn't look particularly appetizing when it arrived, but it was absolutely delicious.

For my entrée, I chose the whiskey ribeye cooked medium-rare, and it came out exactly how I like it. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. The salad bar wasn't huge, but it had a nice variety of toppings to choose from. The atmosphere is rustic with very dim lighting, and there were a few TVs throughout the restaurant as well. It does get quite loud when it's busy, though. Our waitstaff was attentive without being overbearing, which I appreciated. Overall, it was a good experience, and I will definitely be back.

But I'm not a huge fan. First, it's really, really dark and really, really noisy. Not a place for a conversation, especially if you are dining with kids. The salad bar is, well, meh. The tastiest part is the super sweet poppy seed dressing. As far as the stars of the show go, I've eaten several of their steaks. They've all been well marinaded and perfectly cooked, but the ribeye and strip had a lot of exterior gristle that should have been trimmed off before grilling. Meals come with a baked potato, and other sides are available. I wish creamed spinach and corn were options (it is the Cornhusker state, after all), but those are just my preferences. We made reservations weeks ago (we knew the College World Series would be in town) so we did not have the 2+ hour wait that less organized folks were complaining about. We were seated right away - yay, OpenTable! Service was very attentive, and our meal's timing was impeccable. Omaha has a lot of choices for carnivores, and The Drover is a long way from the worst I've tried. I'm just not not sure it's where I'll get my steak fix in the future.

My dining partner had a dirty martini and was satisfied as well. We enjoyed a Spezia salad which featured mixed greens, prosciutto, tomato, Kalamata olives, and a house vinaigrette. It all combined so well. The lettuce was wonderfully fresh, no need to pick out rotting leaves like some places. The dressing was simply light and delish. We shared a plate of spaghetti.
