We went to watch the Nebraska basketball game last night and honestly loved the service our waitress was so sweet and attentive but I was disappointed with the food. I got a wrap and it was 1/3 lettuce and was basically falling apart. It didn't have much substance to it despite looking so thick. The sweet potato fries were good tho equal amounts soft and crispy! The vibes are always fun for Nebraska games lots of TVs and game day energy read more

Service today was subpar. Our waitress was not attentive to our table, ignored our requests, and also didn't show us that she valued our patronage. The only reason this place is getting two stars was the food was okay. I hope other customers get better service from our waitress. read more

We came here at 11:30am Sunday morning. The place was nearly empty as they open at 11. We were coming from a family event so we had 9 with us. We were able to put together two tables to accomodate. Our server was nice, and got our drinks quickly. However, my MIL got the loaded bloody mary and it only had an oolive on the stick. Later on the server said that the chef wasn't done making the bacon that goes on the stick. That would have been something to share when ordering the drink, and I could tell it bothered her. She did end up bringing a skewer later...but when her drink was gone, so I know she tried to make up for it. Overall the food isn't the best, but I do enjoy the atmosphere, and big beers. We're watching the NCAA baseball games, which is always nice, theres a variety of sports on at all times. read more

Good bar food, comfortable sports pub atmosphere. I got the three little piggies burger which was pretty tasty. The beef in the burger itself was a little firm; cooked well done and pressed hard into shape, which affected the texture. Loved the pork, bacon, and bbq sauce on top, the flavors married really well. Fries were ok, but not hand cut. The kids meal was big, more than double what our 3 year old could eat. Quesadilla was good, standard. There were several other families with kids there and the general noise and casual atmosphere made it fine for a toddler. Others have really knocked the service here but we had no complaints. Our sever was prompt, accurate, and personable. They had glacial till cider and several local brews in addition to the regular domestics. read more

I will say I've been to many sports bar but no one does it better than DJ's. Weekly specials and and atmosphere that drive sports entertainment. Food is what you expect from high end bar food. burgers, nachos, wings and sandwiches but can't mis that Thursday special with steak Thursdays. Stop in and give it a shot. Literally! read more

Most disappointing experience I've have in a long while. I'm in the midst of moving and ordered an appetizer and wrap from DJs through the Toast app. I'm a mile and a half from this restaurant and the delivery guy was as sharp as a marble bc it took him 35 mins to get to me. I called the restaurant to clarify my address and give better directions before he picked up my order. The address was also on the order itself. I also texted the delivery guy my address with directions. And the delivery guy still went to the wrong place! Not sure what more I could have done. The food was ice cold and soggy by the time it got to me. It wasn't good and wasn't packaged up well. First and last time I'll be ordering from DJs. read more

We had a BLAST there playing Music Bingo The service was not the greatest, but the fun and games made us enjoy our time. My husband had the special steak and it was decent Drinks not bad and if your looking for a fun night of games - try it out - read more

I went to DJs Dugout for a fundraiser. The service was nice, but the food was not very good. I ordered the patty melt, it was loaded to the brim with pepper and onions, very spicy. The wings were also hard and dry. Would not recommend. read more

Guys. These specials they are running are INSANE! And the food is delicious. Granted the power is in your hands in regards to grilling, but the steaks are quality and for 40 bucks?! Getting 4 steaks, 4 salads, 4 taters AND a 6-pack of your choice is FANTASTIC. This place has always had my heart as one of the first sports bars that has served flour chips with their nachos and they do it well. If you have the time, definitely support this local chain as they always give their state sports teams the screen time they deserve and make sure your beer glass is never empty! *photo taken from their page read more

This bar is a great place to hang out. Great service, great food. The General Manager Tonya is always out touching tables and talking to her regulars. So much energy. Noah was the bar tender and handled a full bar crowd with no effort but friendless and energy. Great job Tonya. You run an amazing place. I need to get the rest of my friends out here. read more

There is no disputing taste. But I am totally shocked how well this place does with its less than average food and high prices. This place also gives me a headache with all the tv screens. read more

We asked our waitress for the check and he circled our area several times, met us in the bathroom and then finally realized she forgot. Over all it was just okay, it's loud and the food is average. read more

It's always a great place to eat but some of their staff need lessons on customer service. We had been done eating for almost 15 minutes the place was filling up all we were wa for was our check. My husband finally went to the bar to get her attention so we could pay! read more

I had a great time, twice at this location. Both times we ordered the special. On Wednesday it is the wings and on Thursday it is the steak. The meals were solid the $10 Steak Meal was fantastic. Loaded baked potato, side salad and a decent size steak, seasoned and cooked perfectly. Plus it had a pleasant smoky bark, so good. We always found a nice clean table with about 17 different screens that you can watch. The service was solid, they take your order and as soon as your food is ready somebody runs it out to you. Food was always perfect temp and comes out quick. The bar is stocked up and there are always deals. I was amazed you could get a 32oz Crown and Coke for $9.50. What?? It was poured very generously and I would say "just be careful". This is professional grade cocktails, 32oz! The staff is hospitable and vivacious, it is a fun atmosphere, all about sports. The place is new so it is very clean and parking is abundant and easy. If I lived out this way I would definitely have this as a regular stop. Great Value, Great service and Solid Food. read more

I'm a local neighbor and have brought my family in many times to DJs. Normally, I don't leave bad reviews but this is now the 3rd time I've had a major service issue at the bar, once for takeout, the other 2 just sitting down and waiting to be served. Tonight I sat down at the bar at 5:25pm by myself after getting off work and might as well have been invisible. Left at 6pm without ever being asked anything. There wasn't anyone sitting on both sides of me; I was alone with just a menu and no one asked if I wanted a drink. Honestly, if I was the Owner/Manager I'd look into who they have tending bar - understand it's a tough environment to hire but you gotta get someone else back there that changes the attitude. read more

Delicious food and great service. By far the best restaurant experience we've had in elkhorn so far.

I downloaded Yelp just to do this review. The food was decent nothing to over the top for a bar scene but what really upset me was the terrible service. The bar wasnt all that busy and we had to keep trying to find our server to be served. Started with missed drinks, Multiple times asking for something simple like silverware and when it came time to pay the bill I had to hunt someone else down to ask for it considering we were waiting 20 min and she was no where to be seen, and to find out she was around the corner on her phone and chatting with a bunch of bus-boys. Then when the check was recieved the bill was messed up and she had an attitude! ALSO one of my friends went to the bathroom and a server was in there AND HE NEVER WASHED HIS HANDS! Safe to say wont be back. read more

The food service industry in general is in a very poor shape everywhere so it shouldn't be any surprise that DJs has the issues that it does. We have been DJs customers from the first one that opened years ago so we where thrilled when the Elkhorn location opened closer to our home. The owner Darwin and the manager Tanya both genuinely care about providing a great experience for their customers but I think that some of the demands of some of the general public have beaten down their ability to satisfy a majority of their customer base. Lets be honest its bar food not fine dining and its usually better than most.so it comes down to customer service. We love the atmosphere so we have refused to give up on this location easily. But the last 4 visits have been less than enjoyable from being ignored by servers for up to 30 minutes from our arrival to allowing young children to run unsupervised and crawling over the booth in front of and behind us and after calling it to the servers attention being told that there's really nothing they can do about it. During covid we made it a point to at least once a week get takeout from DJs to support a local business we wanted to see survive, Post covtd we have been welcomed back to drinks that use to be 7 dollars are now 13 dollars. We always tip generously and have over 100 dollars worth of loyalty points on our DJs card so it isn't like we don't know what to expect when we go there. the last time we were there we asked our server to ask the manager to bring us our last round of drinks after awhile he himself returned to the table with our drinks and told us that the manager told him to kick rocks. It is with a sad heart that we are saying Goodbye to what used to be one of our favorite places read more

DJs is the product of midwesterners who love to take their families out to eat at overpriced sports bars. Obviously a success this business is with all of their locations around the major metro. Tap beer choices are below average, bar service here was terrible. These guys bartending on Friday have no knowledge about the drink and food menu. I think the drink prices are outrageous. Never cared for a beer out of a plastic cup. On the plus side, there are a lot of televisions. The food is quick prep bar food from what I've had. I've had the prime rib melt, boneless wings, and a burger here. Prime rib melt was not fresh. The Cole slaw is the worst Cole slaw I have ever had. It is milky and reminds me of the kind my elementary school served 35 years ago. Not really my kinda place but appears to be a go to for couples with children. read more

DJs Dugout in Elkhorn is AMAZING! the manager and staff went above and beyond to make our friends wedding reception so special and personal. in the past we have held graduation and special events and they have never disappointed us. Thank you to Tanya and her staff! read more

I've been to DJs Dugout in Aksarben several times while on work trips and always enjoyed it. Tried out this spot to watch some bowl games and it delivered as expected. No idea how the rating is so low, not my experience at all. Our server was great while we hung out for a few hours to watch games and have drinks before ordering food. Solid pour on the drinks and reasonably priced, $9 doubles. Food was great and super fast, even on Friday night at 7:30. The kitchen made me a custom dish to accommodate a food allergy. Best array of TVs and Sports in West O. read more

Service was the best we have had at DJS in a long time. Very upset that you had tables marked off, but very inconsistent and didn't really make sense that the table to my right, left and behind me were not marked off. We would have stayed and spent more. Highly doubtful after all my years of coming to DJs will I ever come back. Not to mention you have a bad habit of over serving partons as well. read more

I've always had a great experience at "The Dugout", however on St. Patrick's Day when I ordered the corned beef brisket, I was served three slices of corned beef brisket STEAKS!! That's not how it's supposed to be cut....so it was obviously inedible, although it looked as though had it been cooked properly had it been cut properly it would've been great. So with them being as busy as they were I just left it, but they really ought to know for next year how to properly cut it so it tastes as good as it looks. read more

So a little bit about the review. I'm sure it's a little bit confusing but we came here on game night for the final NCAA men's basketball thinking that we will be able to watch the game on the big screens. After arriving in the main area they were playing nothing but country music with some sort of game to identify the song that's being played over the radio like country bingo. When I asked why the game is not being broadcasted with sound, I was told for the game if you want to watch the game in here or you have to go in to we would need to go in the other room which was sealed off with no his other room which was sealed off with very little ventilation. No I am not one to complain about freedom's but I felt a little concerned in there with that many people watching the game in a close environment with very little room for air to flow around. In my humble opinion they probably should've been signs on the door saying the game is being played on the TV but you're not gonna be able to hear it unless you go into the other room. I guess wasn't expected that thinking this is a big game. I honestly think the bed vibes did not help Gonzaga which they ended up losing but oh well next time I will call ahead to make sure that game is you being broadcasted live in that I can hear it rather than hearing some redneck music playing in the background. read more

Overall good food and good service but there were too many problems with this sports bar. The speakers that were outside were way too loud, so loud that you couldn't even hear what anyone saying. The other thing that really set it off was when people came outside where we were eating and started smoking. Our waitress even came out and didn't say a single thing to them, I don't know if that is a usual thing that goes on here. Food also wasn't as good the second time than the first time. read more

Good food! Horrible service! Went there for steak night special. Order was incorrect, no silverware, and salads did not arrive until after our meal. Was told the manager would come and talk with us- never happened. We paid our bill and left. May be quite a while until we return there again, if ever. read more

Let me start by saying, we are regulars at Good Life in Elkhorn. We eat there 2-3 per week because of the awesome staff and food. We have NEVER had a bad experience and it is close to home so it works out great! We wanted to give the new DJs a chance because we've never lived close to one so we went there on a Friday night. I was impressed by the TVs and the amount of seating those were huge positives. Food and staff was a completely different story. Food was mediocre. Felt like I could have whipped up the same thing (mine might have been tastier) at home. Very basic. Nothing jumped out at me. My wrap fell apart and was very plain. Won't be coming back. Sorry we cheated on you Good Life I promise it wont happen again!!!!!!! read more

Very good service. Very low price. Did not charge us for a drink, which is good as well

The entertainment system is probably the only positive. The restaurant does appear to be clean but I write this to warn other people not to waste their time. Our server sucked (and I hate saying that) but she forgot my beer, brought chocolate milk for my son after we requested white, was sparse, brought crayons to my toddler during our meal (so he was immediately disinterested in his food) then took 20 minutes to bring out the check. It felt like we were never going to be able to leave. I think the real deal breaker was that they don't even make their own ranch so on top of bland food, poor service, a forgotten beer...I had a crappy ranch dip cup. I understand they might need sometime to get their staffing in order but the food isn't worth following up though. read more

Me and my friends all ordered different things and everyone felt sick after eating here I don't recommend eating here.

I've been going here since it opened and I've always been happy here. The food is really good and the crew very warm and welcoming. I'm leaving the area this week and DJ's Elkhorn might be one of the only things I miss. Thanks for the service and experiences. read more

The service is so slow at this location, absolutely ridiculous! The wait staff have 1 pace, and is their own. The food is fairly bland, literally frozen items off the food truck. Just a big let down from the downtown location. read more

Stopped in @ 11:30 there were 6-8 people sitting inside eating. There were 5 of us sitting waiting waiting waiting and waiting for someone to come take our order and at 12:06 we got up and left. Not one word from anyone working inside. Don't like the place anyway but wanted to give back to help local restaurant out but that will be the last time we ever try DJ's again. read more

Service was extremely poor tonight for Thursday Night Football. We were talked to by 3 different waitresses and the place was maybe half full. We ordered and never got our drinks and we ordered again and had to go to the bar to get beers. Always love DJ's, but service here needs some work. read more

The worst service we have ever experienced. It took forever for the waitress to greet us. Drinks of water came in a decent time. We ordered 2 appetizers. We waited and waited. The waitress came over and said,"I forgot to order your appetizers. Should I just bring them with your order?" We declined them at that point. After 55 minutes our food started to arrive. One order was completely wrong. They took it back to get the correct order. The food that was correct was good. The prime rib sandwich was good, but hardly any meat on it. 15 min later the last meal came out. When it came out there was just a sandwich, no fries. The waitress said, " fries are cooking. If you want fries I can bring some out when they are done." ‍. The sandwich was good but by the time it cane out, the other 3 people at our table were long done eating. The waitress said she would remove the appetizers. It was awkward. It sounded like she thought she was doing us a favor. She never once apologized. I can honestly say that was the worst service we have ever received anywhere. My husband said, "we will never return to that location again". It's unfortunate. It's close to our house. The food is good but not worth the long wait and horrible service. Very disappointing. read more

this place is really good always have far great service here is an amazing place go at least twice a month and never am disappointed
