From the onset the bartenders seemed overwhelmed and just strictly business! Not a friendly vibe at all! We were there with a party of 13 family members. Celebrating a graduation and retirement! The waitress also seemed overwhelmed! After the main course, tried to discourage us from ordering desert. Stated that they were busy and it would take a while. We ordered anyway. For the amount that we paid, with the 20 percent gratuity added up front! The staff being a bit more friendly would have made the experience worth the tab!! read more

Overrated. I went with a couple of meat lover friends and we got the Wagyu tomahawk ribeye and the filet along with various sides and desserts. The wagyu did not have the typical Wagyu flavor profile, and was somewhat disappointing. The filet was good, but not enough to overcome the disappointing wagyu. The bone marrow appetizer was fantastic, and the bread was fresh and great. And the wait staff was fantastic. But, the main course fell flat. This was supposed to be the number one steakhouse in Omaha, and we were disappointed. It was also very much priced at that level, priced more similar to a fancy restaurant in New York or San Francisco than Omaha. read more

My husband and I have been looking for an excuse to try this steakhouse, so we decided to treat ourselves here for our anniversary. Our experience was great! This steakhouse is definitely a Top 3 in Omaha. Not only was the bone-in ribeye delicious, but everything else we got really complimented our experience. I highly recommend the lobster tail bites if they have them (seasonal - should be on the menu because they're so good). Be prepared to spend some money if you eat here, but the good thing is the portions are big. My husband and I split the steak and green beans. With the bread, app and French onion soup, we didn't need much more to fill us up. Definitely will recommend this place, and we'll go back. read more

Had a great dinner here with my work colleague. The server told us about the seared and cubed appetizer of the prime rib. Obvs we ordered. The idea of steak as an appetizer before more steak just made sense to us two dudes. We followed that up with a del Monaco bone in rib-eye and a side of asparagus. Lovely entree and side dish. I appreciated the simplicity of the asparagus but thought it could have had something to go with it as a side. Maybe some cheese? The steak was phenomenal. Cooked perfectly. Our server attended to every need and killed it. Did a great job. Would recommend to anyone coming to Omaha any time soon. read more

I think what makes a good steakhouse a GREAT steak house is the atmosphere, white tablecloths, high spirited staff and prices that cause heart failure. This is why the 801 Chop House is my #1. I went with my parents and girlfriend on my birthday. Someone pointed out to me that my name and b-day was printed out on the menus. AWESOME! The waiter asked how I want my steak prepared and I said medium well and w/o hesitation he snapped, "nope". If you don't see why that is funny well it's like going to one of these places and asking for ketchup on your steak. Ain't happening. We had the best time. I am not rich and I think it cost around $500 for 4 of us ($100 tip) so this is a once-a- year event for me so you have to go all out. Invite the most important people in your life, ask a pretty girl to join, get all dressed up and boozey filling up every inch of the place with smiles and laughter. It is special. It is important to make special memories. The world we live in that we all struggle with in our jobs, relationships, finances whatever isn't welcome inside this establishment and for a few hours nothing exists outside those walls. read more

Food was amazing, the restaurant was great I loved the old school upscale steakhouse. The service was lacking, it was slow and our server was not attentive. The drinks were great, just order 2 at a time, very slow service bar. My expectations for a meal that expensive were definitely not met. read more

Went to the Paxton 801 for dinner after many years. Ambiance feels like old Nebraska era steakhouse. Vintage, well appointed wait staff and management. Timing for dinner before show at the Orpheum was perfect at 1hr 45 mins. Of the meal we shared my favorite dish was the calamari. It has finely cut and fried zucchini with large pieces of calamari perfectly crispy. Honestly that could have been the mean alone. The pasta was a bit spicy for my taste but it did mention spice in the description so fair enough. Had the soufflé for desert which takes 45 mins. The waitress offered it at the time of initial order so it was ready in a timely manner. read more

801 Chophouse came highly recommended, and I understand why. The bar has an outstanding collection of spirits especially whiskeys, and the bartenders are top notch. Great Old Fashioned. The Oysters Rockefeller were a great start. Rich and delicious with great pork belly bites. The bone in filet was excellent. Perfectly cooked and one of the best steaks I've had. Hope to be back in Omaha and at 801 Chophouse soon - at least next June! read more

Excellent food and service. It's definitely an expensive experience, but the food is always exceptionally good and prepared perfectly. On our most recent visit, my husband had the prime rib and I had the petite filet with the evening's special garlic butter mushrooms. Both our meals had great flavor, the meat was tender and cooked exactly as ordered. Great place for a special occasion or occasional fancy meal if you want to treat yourself. read more

Ambaince was classic for a steakhouse! Waiter was one of the best we've ever had. The prime rip and filet mignon were two of the finest pieces of meat I've ever had the pleasure to eat. read more

How have I not reviewed this yet?!? What first got us here was the Blue Cheese Potatoes. As fans of blue cheese, we had to try them...and they were as awesome as cream and cheese covered potatoes sound. They offer wet and dry aged steaks; we've never had a bad or even okay cut here, all were great. Our last visit we had a prime rib cut. It was extremely tender with an Au jus saltiness and crisp horseradish taste. The surprise dish for me was the Beef Carpaccio. I always wanted to try it and figured it'd be okay but it's one of my faves of all time now. I order it every time, even my chicken-strip-loving daughter loved it. This last time we got a new cocktail, Nearest and Dearest. It's a bourbon whiskey drink with a chocolate covered cherry and lemon wedge (partially drank in photo, sorry, lol). My husband was surprised once he ate the cherry as we both thought it was a typical cocktail cherry and he let me have the second drinks cherry. It was amazing how the little semi-sweet chocolate really brought the sweetness in the drink out. They did also offer a three course kids meal for $20. The items were kid-oriented but the tastes were vibrant. The broccoli and cheese sauce (thick, creamy cheddar) was the first thing my young son ate. Our last meal for two kids and two adults was ~$180 before tip. Not an everyday place but I'm excited to go back again soon. read more

Excellent atmosphere. Quick service. Amazing bartender. The drinks we were served were amazing!

I was in Omaha to see my daughter and son in law. My son in law said he was taking us out to what he was told, was a great steak place. Well I was sold at the word steak. We drove to downtown Omaha and arrived at The Paxton. On the first floor was 801 Chophouse. The decor was right out of the 1920s like the hotel. The service was impeccable. The whiskey selection on hand, over 500 to choose from, was insane. They also had a very impressive wine and beer selection. The food, and by food I'm mean 12oz Filet Mignon was incredible. I ordered my steak medium au poivre. It's hard to explain how damned good it was. The Brussel sprouts were great too! If you have the chance, you've got to go here. read more

Food was good as always. We only go for very special occasions due to the prices. We go on Sunday from the Prix Fixe menu and this last time was the first time we were treated badly for it. When we informed the waitress that we wanted that menu she was visibly put off and grabbed the menus away with clear intent to let us know we were wasting her time. We treated and tipped her well and enjoyed the food but it would have tasted better without a side of attitude. We have since decided not to return. It was just too humiliating. We would not punish the entire restaurant for the attitude of one woman. The food is good but don't ask for the prix fixe on Sunday unless you want to eat with a lump in your throat. read more

If the option to add a 6th star was available, I would have given it a 6th star. We visited on my birthday back in February 2021 - pandemic was still around but they were extremely accommodating. We made sure to make reservations ahead of time to secure a spot and turned out to be the smart thing to do. They received us with a birthday card at the table and a print out menu with bold lettering saying, 'Happy Birthday, Sergio.' The drink selection was on point, they had my Scotch selection - McCallan 18 years. The server made sure to explain the reason they stand out for their meats and how they are cooked. I ordered a Rib-Eye with truffle butter with a side of Broccolini and mushrooms. When I say this is one of the best steaks I've ever had in my life, I'm not lying. It was cooked to perfection. Each bite was mouthwatering and it felt like eating butter. You could tell the freshness of the meat. For dessert, we ordered Crême Bruleé - WOW! If you want to splurge a little bit, this place is worth spending the extra money. You get great quality and great service. read more

Generally the food was good but the service was sub-par. Which was very disappointing because that's a big part of the experience. The server tried to remove dishes while the guest of honor was still eating, making her feel rushed to finish her meal. Then, when we were finally ready for the bill, we had to search the restaurant to find our server. No dessert options were offered, it just felt like they wanted us out of there. We went on a Tuesday so my guess is that the manager was not there so the service was off. The food was fine, but not spectacular. When the bill is about $100 per person the food needs to be exceptional and the service needs to be on point. From the other reviews you can see that they usually deliver, but I'm not gonna take the chance that they're going to have another off night. I'm not coming back. read more

10 stars! I came here for a celebration, and let me tell you, everyone made this celebration so special for me every step of the way. From beginning to end, the service was wonderful and the food was perfect! Yes, perfect. My husband and I got here early and sat at the bar for one drink. As we waited, we chatted with the bartender and hungout. Once we were seated, we were greated by our server. We got a bottle of wine or two! The mussels were a great start to the meal, but my entree is the star of the show. I got the 6oz Waygu cooked a medium rare. It was PERFECT. You even get a certificate that shows its authenticity. My husband ordered the ribeye. The sides were scalloped potatoes and lobster mac and cheese. Each bite of the mac and cheese had a decent piece of lobster which isn't normal. I would presume the manager walked by and asked if we were celebrating. I said "yes, I accepted a new job that is a big move in my career." As my dessert arrived, there was a note that said "congratulations" with my cheesecake. It was a nice touch to an end of a great dinner. I talk so highly about this restaurant to everyone! Overall, wonderful food and service. read more

This was my first time at 801 Chophouse with high expectations and excited to try something new and pricey! We ordered a filet, ribeye and a New York Strip, along with 1 pound baked potato, broccolini, scalloped potatoes, Mac and cheese with Lobster. The food arrived and we cut into our steaks. The steaks arrived under cooked to medium rare vs. Medium. We tried our sides and they were not hot but cool to warm, "all" of them! We waited for a few minutes to get our waitress and told her the issue. She gathers all items and said sorry about this. The manager came by and said it would be about 6 minutes before it would be ready. The food arrived again and the steaks were the "same" steak we sent back but reheated and now burnt, "Black" on the outside and the "same" sides they took back that were cold and they reheated them! Sound crazy, I was disappointed again! The other steak comes out and is medium rare and not medium, it was mooing! Bloody! The manager looks like oh no. Now the 4th try!! He brings back the the steak and it's right, medium! The enjoyment eating together did not happen since we had to wait for my wife's 4th try on the filet steak. The manager said he would comp her steak of $66.00. Our check arrived and it showed 2 steaks comp! I thought great. However, the 2nd steak they rang up was the burnt steak they missed up and shows a comp. They show a charge on the receipt or the 4th steak. Totally misleading in the receipt. For a high end steak house and pricey food this was a big disappointment!!! Skip this place and go to J Gilbert's for a better experience and great steak! read more

801 Chophouse is great! The food is delicious and the service is amazing. They also have chocolate mints in the women's restroom (not sure if they still do cause of covid).

Really yummy steakhouse. I've eaten at a lot of steak houses in my life. The most impressive have typically been old small town bar steakhouses where some kind of unexpected magic happened, and those are rare birds too. The least impressive, a famous fancy pants place in Chicago and another similar in New York... I wont name but they are old, complete with table attendants etc. . 801 is classy and modern. It's pricey. It's tasty. We had the wet aged porterhouse and tried three of the sauces. Scalloped potatoes were tasty, the broccolini was perfect, wedge salads were spot on, marrow was good, wine selection is good and the old fashions were not fussy and well balanced. I doubt there is anything on the menu that isn't tasty. We had a great night I've been back twice since. read more

My boyfriend and I recently took a trip to Omaha and we heard that we had to get steak in Omaha. After doing some research on what steak places to go to I found 801 chophouse. The only thing I have is at 801 chophouse is inside of the Paxton hotel. We did not realize this, so was a little bit confusing when we first came in but once we found our way, it was amazing! All the staff are extremely accommodating, and very friendly. They asked if it was our first time here, and they made some recommendations as well as explained the meats. This was extremely helpful as someone who doesn't eat steak too often. The food came out super fast probably 10 minutes tops. And oh my god if you wanna mouthwatering steak, this is a place to go. It was delicious. The sides as well. We're so good. We both got the ribeye, medium rare and we shared scallop potatoes and brussels sprouts. The scallop potatoes are definitely something you need to get. Overall, we really enjoyed this beautiful restaurant and it's great for a fancy date night. read more

06-22-19 We went there for our 45th anniversary and I couldn't have picked a better place. If I could give it six stars I would, that is how good it is. We arrived at the Valet station and there were two valets, one opened my door and one opened my wife's door, that doesn't happen too often. When we entered the restaurant, the Hostess greeted us and guided us to our table. Sarah V. was our primary server, but several others brought and kept our drinks full. She took our order and made sure that everything was to our liking. She was very knowledge about the items on the menu and the specials of the day. I started with Oyster Rockefeller and I must say they were about the best that I have ever had. Just the right amount of spinach and Parmesan cheese. It also came with a Hollandaise type sauce that was delicious. For or second course we had their Caesar Salad - Romaine Lettuce, White Anchovies, Housemade Croutons and Parmesan Crisp. It was one of the better Caesar salads that I have had, nothing fancy just good food. For the main course I had their special of the day a Bone-In New York Sirloin cooked Pittsburgh rare and my wife had an 8 oz Filet Mignon cooked medium well. Both steaks were cooked perfectly. For vegetables we shared their One Pound Baked Potato with the works and their Roasted Baby Carrots in a Honey Citrus Butter sauce. We had a 2016 Frank Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon to go along with the meal that was the perfect match, adding to the flavor of the steaks. For desert we had a Grand Marnier Souffle served with Vanilla Creme Anglaise, Chocolate Sauce, and Strawberry Coulis that was so good, I messed up taken a picture of it. I ended the perfect meal by enjoying a Lagavulin 12 Year Old Special Releases 2016 scotch. As for the service, it was what you would expect of a 5-star restaurant. Each course was served on time and we were never rushed, nor did we have to wait more than 5 min. between courses. Sarah came by several times to see how things were going and if we needed anything. I think this restaurant is now competing for our #1 or #2 steakhouse since the Drover is closed for repairs. We will definitely be returning again. read more

If you are looking for a great steak ... look no further than the 801 Chophouse. My wife and I visited this restaurant not too long ago, and although it was a very expensive night out, the food was out of this world. I had the Rib Eye, and it was one of the best steaks I have had in a very long time, juicy, melt in your mouth, delicious! The wife got the filet, and she could not stop raving about it either .... and the sides were almost as good as the steaks. I can't say I could afford to go here every week, but I have certainly made it a permanent stop when I have the need for a high quality steak. read more

801 Chophouse - Bone In Ribeye with Bone Marrow Butter - Steakhouses Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Oh 801, how I wanted to love you. Being in the middle of cattle country, and with the reviews I read, I expected the quality of the food to be commensurate with the sticker price. We arrived and were seated promptly. Service was top notch (5/5) and the decor brought us to the exact place it was meant to: a classy steak house in 1920's New York City. We ordered our favorite drink; a Manhattan on the rocks. Well balanced between the bourbon and the bitters yet the addition of the orange peel reminded me more of a classic Old-Fashioned. For an appetizer we shared the Prosciutto wrapped Scallops. The scallops were cooked well, and while the seasoning was missing from the scallops the prosciutto was able to compensate. For mains we both ordered the filet; she the 8oz and I the 12oz. The steaks were cooked perfectly and had the melt in your mouth texture you would expect for steaks that cost $60. What the steak had in texture it lacked in flavor. Despite having the béarnaise (her) and the bone marrow butter (me) I struggled to find flavor. I hate to sound like a walking Gordon Ramsey joke, but the steaks were as bland as the plain white table cloth upon which they sat. Off we go to the sides. We weren't expecting the sides to be nearly as large as they were, so they were definitively portioned well. The scalloped potatoes were delicious; how can you go wrong with potatoes, cream, and cheese? The broccolini was a bit tough, and also lacked seasoning of any kind. But the sprouts, they're my favorite veggie and looked amazing, these had to be good. A beautiful brown crispy sear made my mouth water as I took my first bite. I anticipated the crunch of the outer leaves, the soft center, the light bitterness but no such experience was to be had. What were once crispy leaves were now frumpy wet dogs, left soaked from the sauce. In keeping with the theme of the evening, salt was once more nowhere to be found. Overall I'm glad we went; it was a good experience. That said, if I'm spending more than $100 a person I expect the fundamentals to be on point. read more

We were in town visiting from Portland OR, and this place absolutely knocked our socks off. I can't think of a time I have enjoyed a steak more, and I've eaten a lot of steak. It was so flavorful, and the sides were perfection. What really elevated our experience was our server JAKE, he was delightful and his recommendations were insane, I devoured a delicious not to sweet cocktail per Jake's recommendation and I don't usually drink! Everything about our night exceeded our expectations! Thank you Jake! read more

Service is impeccable. Drinks were great. The actual taste of the food and value for what we got wasn't up to par. We've eaten here before and had excellent food and excellent overall experience. 2yrs ago we paid half as much for the same meal and the taste made us think this was the best meal we had in omaha. Went back twice since and both times we left wondering what happened. How does the Delmonico go from $67 to $105 in 2 years and the taste goes down?! Why is the creamed spinach sweet? Mac and cheese isn't very flavorful. Can't imagine spending $300 with tax and tip for this place again. read more

Server was very friendly, steaks were cooked perfectly - we didn't need to send anything back. One of my friends who went was vegetation so the server had the chef make something without meat.

This is the third time here and we always love it. Such an old school cattlemen vibe with great service and food. We started with a Moscow mule. Delicious and strong. Then we had complimentary warm bread and butter and Oysters Rockefeller (definitely a favorite!) Then I ordered a pork chop and my husband the prime rib. Both were incredible and huge portions. We ate the leftovers today for lunch. We also had the Mac and cheese and creamed spinach for sides which were delicious. I still think I love the bourbon carrots the most though! Then since it was our anniversary they gave us a complimentary Soufflé which was to die for. It came out right from the other with a vanilla creme, chocolate, and berry sauce. All were mouthwatering . They even wrapped our menu up for us to keep since it was an anniversary edition menu. Thank you 801 for always being such a treat read more

Typical steakhouse that satifies for the moment, but leaves little to remember. The down home shrimp had this mealy sauce that did taste good, but also made up the majority of the dish. The sourdough bread they give goes nice with the sauce. The calamari was the surprise out of the meal. The fried zucchini reminds me of tempura and were fantastic with their flaky, oily crust. The calamari itself was tender, and fooled my coworker at the table, thinking it was chicken. The steak is standard. It was a steak I enjoyed, but not one I will remember. The cognac sauce isn't that spectacular, but provides additional depth tot he flavor profile. The potatoes were ok, but definitely filler. I wish they would give you less, but it's family style. The brussel sprouts were not bad, but I've had better. 801 is for someone who wants steak and taters. No frills and nothing out of the ordinary. This is great for someone's grandfather or the business man who's trying to seal the deal or pitch a deal. read more
