    Salmon BLT slider
    Brittney C.

    Very fun atmosphere. A lot of locals come here. The food is phenomenal and there are quite a few things on the menu you won't find anywhere else, like the Salmon BLT sliders. You've gotta try the buffalo chicken & bacon egg rolls and Jax's hand made tater tots. They are the bomb!

    Awesome bar! Met the owners while we were there - fantastic people!!! Prices are very reasonable and food was great! Definitely headed back on Friday nights for 49 cent beers!!! I highly recommend this place!

    Cool vibe, creative drinks, cold beer and a great combination of pizza and bar food! Service is second to none.

    Is this place open? I've tried to call a few times to no avail, it's really close to where we are staying for the week. In the area with extended family.

    Hi Dave, Hooks is only open during the summer.

    I am not a fan of big game hunters, but what's done is done. That said, how about having a breaded…read morepork sandwich between a real stuffed polar bear and real stuffed giraffe? Wow. Just off the highway is this Atlas Obscura location. Decent prices and the service and food were good.

    * Vintage vibe, decent steak, but pricey + stomach issues*…read more Stopped at Ole' S Big Game Steakhouse in Paxton because my brother said Nebraska does steaks right. The place definitely has character - it's vintage with taxidermy everywhere. Polar bear, giraffe, bull, deer heads on the walls. Feels like you're eating in a hunting lodge. *Food*: I ordered the boneless ribeye, medium rare. It was an average steak - easy to chew, but had more fat than I'm used to and the flavor was nothing special. Didn't dislike it, but wouldn't call it memorable. My daughter got the steak sandwich and my wife got the steak burger. We all agreed the food was delicious at the time. *The catch*: A few hours later my wife and daughter both had upset stomachs. I just felt bloated. My son was fine. Could've been a one-off, but worth mentioning. *Price/Service*: Restaurant itself is pricey. Menu items are fair, but the steaks are expensive for what you get. Service was fair - nothing bad, nothing great. If you're passing through I-80 in Paxton and want the experience/vibe, it's a stop. If you're driving out of your way for "best steak in Nebraska", I'd keep going. The taxidermy is the main attraction.

    I had never been to an Applebee's before and I will probably never go to one again. It was late, I…read morewas exhausted and hungry, and it was the only place open and it shared a parking lot with my hotel. I ordered a steak and I cannot state this emphatically enough, this was BY FAR THE WORST STEAK I had ever had in my life, by a mile. It was like trying to cut through a deflated football, but somehow, still raw in the middle. Not undercooked, raw. Anyway, I ate my sides and moved everything around the plate and when my server came back to drop the check, she told me that "she liked my style". So FIVE STARS!

    Listen I love Applebees just as much as any other warm blooded American but, this one was a flop…read more I like to try a new place every time I come to north platte since there is so many. So when my girlfriend said Applebees I thought wow I get some nostalgia from Father's Day with my dad as a kid. Let's just say the service is not what it used to be. The parking lot only had a few cars I figured get in eat get out. Apparently our hostess had a different idea. We walked in to a full waiting area and 3 families at tables. In the entire restaurant. 5 minutes goes by of this hostess fumbling her words walking around doing nothing. The family ahead of us gets seated. 5 people. They all got drinks from a waitress while we stood there. At this point there is me, my girlfriend and her 1 year old son with us, and an elderly lady by herself. We are looking at people eating in an empty restaurant and waiting for no reason. Finally she comes back after around 10 more minutes. With a bundle of napkins. Proceeds to open the package, and put them all in her work station. While telling us about it. I for one do not fucking care. I'm looking at an empty restaurant and standing here holding a kid. When she was done she says " I'll be right back I need to go clean these tables" I then asked her what was wrong with all the clean empty tables. Fumbles with her words I shook my head she walked away. I'm not sure what she did for another 5 minutes but I'm sure she didn't clean a table. They were all tipped up. Now we finally get to go sit. She asks if we want a high chair for the little kid. Yes thanks. Never brings it. Moving on I guess whatever Our waitress was very nice. The food was very mediocre at best not a shining moment. I'm not sure who makes the drinks in this place but they need a lesson. Worst margaritas I've ever had. North platte Applebees sucks don't go here
