The El Patron burger was good, the Pickle Chips were great, and unique. Service was friendly and quick. Quicker than mcdonalds. Defintely worth the two minutes off of the freeway. read more

Open Range Grill - El Patron burger w/ pickle fries - American Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

This a family fun place that is easy to like! The food was delicious and they had a great beer menu. The only reason I am giving a four out of five is that they got pretty busy and did not have the staff on hand to handle the crowd. Otherwise I loved the atmosphere and the burgers. read more

I can't believe this place is still in business. Not because the food is bad (They are hamburgers and cheeseburgers after all. Who's going to mess that up?) but because of the ridiculously stupid ordering system and the complete lack of virtually every aspect of decent restaurant management. You have to wait in a single-file line to order food and beverages. So imagine the lunch or dinner rush. Everyone visiting the restaurant must wait in a single file line to order. Ordering is done by one person and every order requires many questions to get right. Then pay while everyone is just standing there. Want a second beer? Enjoy standing in line for another 20 minutes. For a beer? Seriously? This is the equivalent to having one waiter at a restaurant that seats 100 people. Then enjoy sitting down at the nastiest sticky tables ever made because some genius thought they knew how to put poly on a table and save a couple bucks. Whoever did that didn't know diddly squat about finishing a dining table. The tables are sticky and disgusting. No amount of cleaning changes this. The only reason this incredibly poorly managed restaurant is still in business is because there are almost no other choices. I say vote with your pocketbook and avoid this restaurant that must be managed by someone with absolutely no clue about about the restaurant business. NO CLUE WHATSOEVER! My advice for these owners is eat at a different restaurant once and see how it's done. Seriously. It not that hard. read more

Food was good, definitely an excellent burger. Nice place for a small town. But we thought $22 for one burger, one chicken sandwich, fries, and soda was on the high side, though. Restaurant ambiance was clean, but not anything special. All in all, we probably would have just as well grabbed a Mickey D's and kept rolling. read more

I would concur with what many other reviews have said about these hearty hamburgers and handcut fries. Everything was delicious and I would definitely recommend this place if your hankering for an actual well made burger. The fries were also a perfect compliment to the burger. Thankful that Yelp again lead me to a delicious restaurant I never would have found orherwise. If your traveling down I80 do yourself a favor and try Open Range. read more

Exactly the place you want to find when traveling through Nebraska. Great people serving fresh and tasty food.

Fantastic burgers (grassfed!) Fries & onion rings were right on. Good selection of beers on tap. Good vibe overall. Worth the short drive off the highway. read more

Open Range Grill - American Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

This is a pretty cool place for middle of nowhere Nebraska! I like the atmosphere (good for kids and there was a billiards type room off of the dining area) and their drinks are really inexpensive. The only downside to this place is that the young lady taking our order and delivering the food was pretty unpleasant and had an 'entitled teenager' type of attitude. I had the patti melt and it was ok. The onions weren't grilled properly since they were barely grilled at all and the sauce was really really rich to the point that I could only take a few bites of my sandwich. The hamburger itself was pretty tasty. The fries were incredible!!! I used my son's hamburger sauce which is basically mayo, ketchup, horseradish and something else that I cant remember-so basically fry sauce (if you know what fry sauce is, you're probably from Colorado or Utah:) and it was really good. My husband had their bleu cheese burger and it was pretty tasty, although far too much cheese was on it and I'm a huge fan of bleu cheese!He got the sweet potato fries and they tasted fine, I just wish they were cut thicker. The sauce that came with was a chipotle type sauce but I didn't care for it. Over all the prices were pretty good and the food was ok. I might give it another shot next time we drive to NE from Denver. read more

Best Burgers in the world!!! I can not believe how fresh the food is and how quick you get it! Overall great experience!

Burgers were great! Onion rings, too! A little unnerved that the help didn't wear masks but we wore ours!

Great burger/bun options. The veggies on my Range burger were so crisp and crunchy. This is a great spot if you're traveling through Nebraska (as I am) and need a place to sit down and stretch out to enjoy a quick bite. I will be coming back for sure!! Ogallala is a lucky town to have such a gem. read more

Open Range Grill - Ranger burger on Kaiser role in the foreground with the Blue Northern in the background on a brioche. So good!! - American Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

This place has great burgers and the best sweet potato fries around, especially with the special dipping sauce the have. It's the best. The problem is the acoustics. As the place fills up, it gets louder and louder, too the point where you can barely hear the people across the table from you. I recommend you go out to the beer garden if it is nice out, so you can enjoy your company as well as the food. read more

Solid food (burgers and sandwiches primarily), great customer service and excellent beer selection. Much better option than the junk sold at the fast food restaurants along the highway. Definitely worth stopping in. read more

Excellent burgers and home cut fries. Try the hot papas and the fried dill pickles, they are a favorite of mine. read more

Open Range Grill - Chow time, fried pickles and burgers! - American Near Me - Ogallala, Nebraska

Great burgers, and a roomy atmosphere. There was also a nice little area for kids to play while we were waiting for food with a play table and chalkboard. We ate here while traveling, but it kinda makes me wish that there was a solid option like this in my hometown. read more

Saw this place featured on Facebook. So did the other four parties I met in the parking lot at 08:25. Sign said "Open." Door read open until nine. Door locked, woman going about inside. Wasted opportunity when featured on FB. read more

I only wish I lived closer so I could try everything. A must stop on every trip through Nebraska. Excellent burgers, great beer selection and friendly staff. read more

The food, staff and atmosphere was excellent! Great place for a burger and a beer with the family! Worth getting off the interstate for a nice meal! read more

Don't get the "bbq'd" it's chicken in bbq sauce. Other than that nice place. Don't know how they got 4 1/2 star rating though skimming through the reviews it looks like the average is 3 1/2 at best - I should've read the actual reviews rather than looking at the star rating. read more

Stopped through- great Cobb salad. Decent burger. Sweet potato fries were notable as were their dressings/sauces. Service was great and friendly! They were on top of it when they forgot something out of my order before I even noticed. read more

Food was delicious, very fresh. Great music. Complimentary basket of sanitary products in the female bathroom which was unexpected but appreciated. Stop here if you are in town, it's a treat. read more

One of the places that is open later in Ogallala. Went here after 9pm on a Saturday and sat at the bar. I was greeted immediately. I liked how the server made a connection with me (taking about different places in New England because I'm from there and she had been there a few times). The drink was great and my burger and fries were amazing. One of the better fries I have had. read more

While much of the starters are fried, the burgers are pure awesome. This place is a breath of fresh air in the midst of a slew of franchises and chains in Ogallala. Please give them some business. You'll be happy with your lunch or dinner and they'll be happy to see you. read more

Delicious. The bull nuts were the best. The service was fast and friendly. My burger was fabulous

Good Burgers. Came for steak, no steak. Order at the counter, great value, would visit this establishment again. read more

Stopped by on our way to Denver. Had the hamburgers, French fries, and onion rings. The hamburgers were made with fresh ground meat and cooked to perfection.Five choices of buns. French fries fresh cut and fried to perfection. OUTSTANDING food. If we are back through Ogallala, we will stop again. read more

This place is great!! We placed an order on our way back to Denver, and they were fast and friendly. The burger and chicken sandwich were fantastic, as were the fries and special sauce! This may become a regular on our drives back from the Midwest-highly recommend! read more

Traveling through on 80 and found this gem. They have a variety of burgers, chicken sandwiches, and salads. I had a delicious chicken sandwich with pepper jack, pico, and guacamole. The fries are obviously homemade from fresh potatoes. So good! It's really informal, just walk up to the counter to order, and they'll bring your food out to you. I was so pleased to find this spot after a long day in the car. read more

From friendly and helpful staff to a big selection of beers to tasty hand cut fries and finally fabulous burgers , this place has it all. Definitely suggest you stop in. read more

Good place! Very rustic looking. Great food. Nice and attentive staff. Would go there again.

Great food with a fun twist and interesting ingredients. Not your usual bar faire. Loved the energetic and helpful staff. Kids enjoyed it as well! read more

So happy we decided to give the Open Range Grill a try! A short drive from our hotel and we arrived at a spacious bar that was very welcoming. This bar and grill has a great little concept where you order at the bar and they call your name when your food is ready, so no waitress involved. The food arrived very quickly. Almost before we even sat down. It was delicious! I recommend the hot papas (a tater tot, cheese, and jalapeño combination). I had the Cobb salad. The chicken was delicious and the croutons out of this world. My husband had a burger and fries. We had recently eaten at a fancy brewery and this burger he said was one of the best he had ever eaten. They offer a wide range of beers, from craft beers to your every day domestic beers. There really isn't much else to see in Ogallala, however, I would stay here again just to go to this restaurant. read more

My favorite place to eat in this town. When my husband was alive he loved going here. Great gift for someone who lives or visits her often!!! Absolutely amazing! read more

Glad we detoured into town for the awesome burgers! Great variety of burger choices, all made with local, natural beef. I had the Lonesome Man; grilled onions, smoked cheddar & chipotle mayo - yum! Only criticism is I would have liked a lot more onions on it. There are a bunch of side choices but I say stick with the hand cut fries or salad. Casual atmosphere, kid friendly. Wish I didn't have 12 hours of driving ahead otherwise I'd hang out and have a beer. Decent options on tap. read more

We have been to the open range grill twice now and it was just as good as the first time. Fun atmosphere, casual environment, great burgers and good selection of beer. If you are in town at the lake or something else - it is worth a stop! read more

This is one of the best restaurants in ogallala. Absolutely love it. It's a family oriented place with downhome food.

We were very excited to try this place. Spent the day at the lake and headed here for dinner. We were turned away by the hostess because the whole restaurant was being reserved by a single group. Not impressed by this for the weekend of the 4th of July. Try Urban Farmer instead. read more

Amazing, And it was a flat top cooked burger. Fantastic. One of the reviewers pinned it stating "fresh veg on burger" because the tomatoes, pickles and even the lettuce was perfect thickness, freshness, and taste. Their special sauce does not overwhelm, its mayo, ketchup, and a hint of horseradish and I wouldn't even know that was in it. read more
