Poor service and management. Food was terrible and cold. Over charged for food we didn't receive.

We've been here several times now. Always been impressed with the service and the food. Tried a few different items on the menu and have yet to be disappointed! read more

The food took forever! For burgers, the wait should not be 40 minutes! And then, my patty melt was also dry and overcooked. Our server was nice enough, but seemed to be spread thin. I liked the live music, but it was pretty loud. The French dip was really good though, I would recommend that if you stop by. Not many options in town otherwise. read more

Bar service was great. Mason was great!! The Italian Stallion was delicious. Had tomato basil soup and grilled cheese. Partner had the Rueben which was very good too!! Ambiance was fun! read more

Driftwood - Honey chicken sandwich - New American Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The service was unbelievably slow--we waited over an hour after ordering before our food finally arrived, and when it did, it was cold. Waiting that long for food that wasn't even fresh is completely unacceptable. The waitress was incredibly disrespectful and clearly treated the younger adults in our group differently than the older adults. To make things worse, she tried to charge us a 20% gratuity by claiming it applied to parties of 10 or more. When we pointed out that we only had nine people, she suddenly changed her story and claimed it applied to parties of eight or more instead. It felt dishonest and unprofessional. On top of the terrible service, the food wasn't worth the outrageous prices. Cold, overpriced meals paired with rude staff and endless wait times made this a complete waste of money. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone and definitely won't be coming back. read more

Food was burnt, chicken was hard. Waited 10mins to get seated then wait an extra 15 to get a drink order taken. Even longer to even get our bill. Overpriced food. The food used to be good here but it's just been awful. Stop cheaping out on food or something. Staff don't even look happy to be there. $85 for 3 people to unhappy with the horrible food. Ridiculous. read more

Sat at the bar. Bartenders were great. Attentive and helpful. Food was good. Fish and chips was just ok but not bad. Overall, we'd go back and just try something else on the menu. DH had the burnt tips Mac and cheese and really enjoyed it. read more

We stopped on a road trip from Colorado. Late for lunch, early for dinner. Right around 3pm. Staff were friendly, service was quick. I had the Jalapeño Cream Ale, it was tasty if a little too light. The seasonal Strawberry Salad with chicken was terrific. My friend had the BLT and she loved it. We shared Bavarian Pretzel bites first, sooo good. I liked the eclectic decor. read more

came here with some friends waited 20 minutes before asked what we would like then another hour and 15 before food got here and the food was not good at all it's was burnt, cold, and the alfredo tastes like dish soap the price was was to expensive for what we got read more

The other yelp reviews are accurate - service is very, very slow. The food was just ok. My wife liked her burger; I thought the pork chop had so much butter that it was borderline gross. I agree that the ambiance is good. Overall, I wouldn't go back but the town doesn't have many options. read more

Could Be Great, but.... The hostess stand is in the middle of the restaurant, not easy to find. The hostesses were flustered and not focused on seating guests. Once seated, we had to wait for our waitress to get around to us. She was no help with describing the beer selections or the pasta in the menu. Our food was good, but my fries were not hot. There are not many places in this area that are decent dining choices and Driftwood could be the exception....if the staff were better trained. P.S. the decor is great & the bathrooms are clean and nice! read more

Stumbled across this place for lunch - was nice that we were immediately seated and tended to. We ordered a spinach artichoke dip and two steak salads. The spinach artichoke dip never came out sadly. The place was not packed, but our waitress was covering a large area so that might be why it wasn't noticed. The salads came out and only had 4 pieces of steak each, which was disappointing for a $19 salad. The steak was seasoned well and the salads were good, but we wished they had more protein. read more

Driftwood - Steak salad - New American Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

While I'm from Denver I always make a stop at Driftwood when traveling through or staying in Nebraska. Great food selections, all burgers are great, my favorite is the Lonesome Dove, BBQ sauce, bacon, cheese and an onion ring, how can you go wrong with that. They have an amazing selection of bottled and drift beer as well as some local crafts. My favorite is the Infusion Vanilla Bean Blonde, I always refill my growler with this one. Second is the Jalapeño Cream Ale! They have live music on weekends and it's always a nice treat. Service is always great, the kitchen closes a bit early but maybe folks in Ogallala go to bed early anyway. They are close to the main highway and open for lunch, if you are passing through I highly recommend stopping by Driftwood. read more

Driftwood - The Infusion Vanilla Bean Blonde, all of my favorites in one glass! - New American Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

A nice find on the Prairie! Staying nearby on our way home we decided to drop into the Driftwood. It is clearly one of the hotspots in town. Completely renovated it has a open and contemporary feel. Big full bar also allows keno players to gamble while they have a beverage! A complete list of handcrafted cocktails and an exceptionally long list of draft beer makes this even more enticing. We stopped in for dinner, and had some excellent burgers and steaks. Nothing like Nebraska beef! Our server was excellent and we'll be sure to stop back in here again. Prices are reasonable and street parking is very accessible. Live music on occasion so check out the calendar. read more

The most incredible staff, super dog friendly. The food was really great and an oasis during a very hot day.

Extensive menu, has live music. Many TV screens. Service was good and meal was tasty.

We were there on a busy Friday night. The wait was shorter than I expected and the staff were working hard. Our food was very tasty, love that my bun was toasted good for my Philly Cheesesteak. Hubby said they have the best fish & chips around. Our son loves the hot , honey chicken sandwich. Keep up the great work! read more

Like a flower blooming in the desert, the Driftwood shows Ogallala is starting to emerge from the pandemic. Great beer, and a tasty chef salad chock full of goodies. Had the club sandwich on rye and it had a nice pile of turkey, ham and bacon. The fries were super delicious and thick and crunchy. Waitress was nice and the wait wasn't bad given how busy it was. Ogallala clearly needs more places like this and glad it was busy. read more

My husband and I visited on a Friday night (7/25). It was a beautiful night and I really wanted to sit in the outdoor seating area. The hostess cleaned a table of a couple that just left so that we could eat out there right away! She was so quick and I wish I got her name so she could be recognized! Our server was also great; especially for having inside and outside tables! I got a double BLT sandwich and my husband got the sirloin steak! Both were delicious and the steak was perfectly cooked! Which says a lot because we cook at home 95% of the time and do not go out often. Way better than any Texas Road House. We will definitely visit again if we drive through the area again! read more

Stopped for lunch on a cross-country drive and we were pleasantly surprised by an excellent experience at Driftwood. It is a large, clean, and homey restaurant and sportsbar/music venue, located in the quaint old west downtown. Service was excellent: our server was friendly, attentive, and offered spot-on recommendations. We both had burgers: a patty melt and the OG Burger, and both were excellent. The meat was fresh and tasty, as it should be here in the heart of cattle country. Instead of fries we both opted for salads, which were fresh and generous. Portions are substantial and quality is high. After we finished our meals, we spoke for a while with our server, who offered great recommendations for our route North to Mt. Rushmore, providing tips on good spots to visit in the Badlands. All in, a great meal and excellent oasis on a long journey. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Great food. Great service. Came in after a day on the lake. Mitch has Nebraska beer ribeye, I had the prime rib dip. Both were excellent. read more

Good food - excellent service. Great restaurant. Atmosphere was restful - Sunday night.

Solid lunch choice! Our go to lunch stop is closed on Tuesday so landed here. Highly recommend. The place is big, bright and clean. Lots of seating and HUGE booths. Large bar with multiple large screen TVs. A game room in the back looked like fun too. Good variety of food choices on the menu, enough for the vegetarian in our group to have options. Salads are really large, fries were tasty, patty melt was solid, spinach dip was creamy and garlicky, roasted cauliflower was flavorful, although a small portion. read more

Our poor server had an enormous table of people and she was EXCEPTIONAL. She remembered everyone's drink order, even though people were mingling. She brought the food out as fast as she could. She never stopped smiling through it. I don't know why management didn't have 2 servers for this event. The food was fine. Unfortunately 4 of the people didn't get meals. Seemed like poor management. read more

Stopped by Driftwood as it was recommended by the front desk clerk at our hotel. Friendly staff. Decent food. If I'm ever in Ogallala again, i'll swing on by! read more

Traveling and stopped at Driftwood per recommendation of the hotel reception. Waited for over 30 minutes after being seated and couldn't even get a glass of water. The waitresses were serving tables around me and they even got their food and I was completely ignored. I walked out of the restaurant. read more

What a great find. Stopped for the night on I-80. Large restaurant and bar in downtown only several blocks from the interstate. We had the broiled walley and it was outstanding. The broiled cauliflower was well seasoned. The menu is very diverse with options for gluten free and Evan an ahi tuna salad. Check their web site for live music. Large outdoor seating area. read more

The food is amazing. Atmosphere is great and the staff is so sweet. However, the manager, is absolutely nasty. We were here as a family one day. The food was so good we came back the next night. Our server, Sahara was AMAZING and so sweet. She joked with us and was so much fun. The bartender, Nova, was so rude. She was nasty to me and dismissed my mom. Her attitude and nastiness alone will make sure we never spend our money here again. We own a vacation home on Lake Mac. We won't be back to Driftwood. I hope the owner addresses this issue with the manager. read more

Ogalala does not have a lot to offer but if you're looking for a restaurant with GOOD food and a nice vibe, this is the only place you'll find it within 30 miles of Lake McConaughy. After realizing that literally nothing else was open on a Tuesday night, my husband and I were grateful to find this restaurant. The service was amazing. Our particular server was very busy but he took the time to chat, answer questions and was very diligent in keep us fed and happy. I had the Ruben and it was by far some of the best corned beef I've ever had! My husband had a burger and again, very good! The beers on tap were also great and we even bought some swag. If you're ever in the area, this is the only place to go. Family friendly and they even have live music occasionally. read more

Food was decent. Experience was awful. Food came out at all different times. Our server, Sateen had an AWFUL attitude towards our party from the time we sat down until the time we left. We heard from her as we were leaving that she was very happy with our departure. She refused to split our bill for the party of 13 while there for my wife's birthday and it was overall just an awful experience. I wont feel bad for bringing in a large party again. read more

Amazing meal! We were staying overnight in Ogallala on our way to Colorado and needed dinner. We shared the brussel sprouts and they were perfectly charred. I had the spicy pasta and my partner had the hot honey chicken sandwich. Both were awesome! Portions were perfect, quick turn around for food, and our waitress was on top of everything! read more
