What a nice Sunday buffet! Food is fresh and very flavorful. Beautifully decorated and nice welcoming staff. Would highly recommend. Has lots of room and can accommodate large groups. Great place for date night, family dinning or corporate party. read more

Ruhlman's Steakhouse - Wine/drink menu - Steakhouses Near Me - Ashland, Nebraska

My family and I came to Ruhlman's for my mom's birthday dinner. Plenty of parking out front. We had a reservation and our party of 5 was seated promptly. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I ordered a glass of red wine, and it was served cold (??) - the server told me it had to do with where the temperature of the room where they store their wine. They should figure that out because cold red wine was odd! The server did offer to make it right, but I decided to just let my wine warm up a bit. We also were served complimentary focaccia bread, but it was dry and lacking the usual flavor and texture of a focaccia bread. For appetizers, we ordered onion rings and spinach artichoke dip which were both good, but not overly unique or memorable. For dinner, I did the sirloin steak with mushrooms and fingerling potatoes. The presentation of the dish was lacking; everything was just kind of thrown on the plate. They did offer my mom a birthday dessert of a skillet cookie and ice cream, which was very delicious! Overall, for the price and being a "fancy steakhouse", I felt it was lacking in many ways. But for the Ashland area, this is probably a great addition. I wouldn't go out of my way to return, and I think you can probably get an equally good steak down the road for a lot less money. read more

We went for brunch after hearing great things about this place. Our waitress was wonderful but unfortunately they were the best part of our experience. As we unrolled the silverware we had to ask for a replacement because dried food was on the knife. Not a great start but it happens. I ordered the stuffed French toast. As I was eating the first portion I see a disturbing green spot within the body of the bread. It was obviously mold. The waitress noticed I had pushed my plate aside and when I pointed out why she apologized and brought my plate back to the kitchen. That's when things got even worse. I could hear the chef argue that it was green from the strawberry stems (none of the strawberries had leaves) and that I was wrong. So not only did they serve a moldy dish, the chef is unavailable to recognize obviously moldy bread and insists on continuing to serve it. I am usually reluctant to post 1 star reviews, but this is a health and safety issue. read more

Honestly, the reviews are exactly like you would expect. We ordered the charcuterie board to start, and it was probably the most "meh" one I've ever had. Interesting meat choices and there was no explanation of what was on the board. One of the meats look like a very dark-colored prosciutto (we also had regular prosciutto as well) and the one of the cheddar cheese cubes was especially darker and looked rock hard. My entrée was a filet with broccolini and truffle fries. Filet was a 7/10 (cooked fine but had a slight weird gamey aftertaste), broccoli was cooked fine but didn't taste seasoned, and fries were probably the best of the three. Service was good, would highly recommend buttoning down all the recipes and steak sourcing (and cooking method). For what this place cost, I would highly recommend going to Texas roadhouse. read more

Ruhlman's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Ashland, Nebraska

Safe to say this was a one and done for us. We got takeout tonight, and the price simply doesn't reflect the quality. The arancini was fine, but the rice lacked any kind of seasoning. My side Caesar salad (that I paid extra for) came without dressing. My burger was fine, but the bun was mushy. They also didn't ask how I wanted the burger done, which seems odd for a steakhouse. My husband had the short rib lasagna, and while the flavor was decent the portion size was small and the pasta was basically mush. Hard pass on this one. read more

Ruhlman's Steakhouse - Small salad with no dressing - Steakhouses Near Me - Ashland, Nebraska

There are so many good things about Ruhlman's and some that aren't. First, I loved the space. There were a lot of seating options, but it didn't feel crowded. Waiter was friendly and polite. As far as food, I felt like the appetizers and sides were the star of the show. Especially, the million dollar mushrooms, carrots, and garlic stuffed potatoes. However, the steak was really disappointing. I got mine rare and it looked perfectly cooked with a nice char on both sides. BUT, it was tough and very chewy. It was pretty disappointing since it's a steakhouse that the steak wasn't that good. Overall, really nice experience, just was hoping the steak was better. read more

The ambiance and environment are probably the best thing about this restaurant. Our server was new to being a server and didn't really know what she was doing. After she brought our food we never saw her again to tell her how our food was. There were very few wine options on the menu and they weren't very good. Our steaks came out rare, our bread was overcooked, and our baked potatoes were burnt to a crisp. We were told they were out of two of the things we tried to order off their menu. On top of all of this it was priced like it was a nice steakhouse when I would prefer to go to Texas Roadhouse. read more

Great spot in Ashland for a night out whether you are on a date or with family! Start off by saying best Cesar salad we have had in a very long time! Steak was cooked to perfection and pasta you could tell was homemade. Our waitress was kind and attentive. Only downside was my wedge salad had a bit too much dressing on it. Lettuce was swimming in it. They have their own wine and whiskey. Meat market next door. Dessert came out in a skillet. Some parts were burnt but overall tasted great. If we are in the area would definitely come back. read more

Celebrated someone's day of birth last night at the newest addition to good ole, Ashland NE. Right off Hwy 6 on the south side, is a BOOMING building of clinks and clanks of empty dishes, empty wine glasses, and dinner plates get shoved around on their epic back patio (which I royally failed you in not snapping a picture!). But that's ambience right?! The FOOD is what we came for, having never been since they recently opened up the steakhouse. Which.. if I'm honest, I didn't smell any steakhouse.. odors.... so I kinda felt that was, different? Maybe it's part of their open design, where there's no sounds of meat being seared, no smells of garlic, or smells of.. anything? Not even a waft outside.. or maybe I've actually never been to a *real* steakhouse? OK... so.. we snagged their Scallop Risotto, The Genevieve, Garlic Grilled Shrimp, and a side order of their Family Style Crab Fried Rice (interesting side dish, so had to order it!). As well as their Express; their version of an espresso martini (). Their side salads, that came with each entree, had real live lettuce! No no, I mean some well thought out lettuce, not the colorless iceberg. It also comes with Rosemary Focaccia sans the rosemary, sadly. Great texture, soft and chewy. The scallops I felt could've been left on a tad bit longer and I prefer them a little more "sturdy" and at least, warm. The shrimps, were excellent in flavor and thankfully had the doo cleaned out (always a plus!). The center cut top sirloin was done how it was asked to be, and you know broccolini is always ... Interesting take on the garlic baked potatoe I will admit; semi warm, with a slice of cheese, covering a divot filled with all sorts of roasted cream cheese, garlic and herbed garlic butter. Was the divot ingredients melted? No.. not at all.... The crab fried rice, with little shavings of furikake dusted over it, wasn't terrible. I appreciated the use of jasmine rice (such flavor!), and the bits of crab that are actually visible to the eye. Would I order it again, probably not. But when in Rome.. Our waiter was great. When asked a question about The Genevieve, he was willing to find another to get the questioned answered rather than just dismissing it, or blowing if it. Much appreciated for sure! You WILL have to speak up to your foodie companion a bit, but there's also an outdoor patio too. A tad bit of a wait from when you're seated, to seeing someone (ehh about 17mins or so) but by the time our waiter was able to come around, we were ready to order steps 1, 2 and 3! read more

Okay we went back and it was amazing!!! The service was excellent and the food was insanely good. I really wanted to like this place before... now I love it! The meatloaf was unlike any I've had before and I don't know if I can eat any other meatloaf now. The sea bass of course was delicious, buttery and flaky as it should be! We will be back, over and over again probably! read more

Ambiance was nice and it was busy night when we had our reservation. Despite that our server did an excellent job. Foodwise, we ordered wood fired oysters, filet, New York strip, fingerling potatoes, million dollar mushrooms, Brussels, and the cheese stuffed potatoes. The steaks were okay. Both were under seasoned ...I'd avoid the strip all together.. Filet was cooked well but just okay. Cheese stuffed potatoes and Brussels were very tasty and the potatoes were unique and definitely worth trying. Tried the cheesecake for dessert. Nothing special here so u would try one of the other items next time. We'd definitely go back but average food on this trip. read more

Have definitely been eyeing Ruhlman's to try and was excited we finally went. The location is huge and has lots of seating. We had a great waitress who was very attentive and additional staff that was prompt with water and plate clean up. Favorites were the Mac and cheese bites, ribeye, skillet cookie and fresh bread. Unfortunately I ordered the special and was confused when it arrived as it was not what I was expecting nor something I enjoyed. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely come back. I would love to see a wider range on their cocktail menu as nothing caught my eye however the wine menu was extensive. read more

Very disappointed, prices WAY to high for the quality of food. Food was blah and cold, ordered mushrooms for appetizers and they were cold. Steak had no flavor.. very disappointed. read more

Not impressed with any of the food. None of my group finished their meals. The lamb was charred on the outside and bloody on the inside. The parm potato balls were chalky. Just really not impressed by the food. Even the cheese cake didn't get finished because it was too tart. The ambiance was nice, there was an air of arrogance. For the price I'd rather go to Misty's in Lincoln. Due to the quality to price difference, I won't be back anytime soon read more

Ambiance was very nice. I am a salmon lover, but never would I order this again. It was over seasoned with salt making it hard to eat and a little overdone. I asked for it medium. Our friends ordered the New York which was great, but surprisingly the ribeye was a fail and not very impressive. Looking. I might return, I think they do try and add a lot of menu variety options that are unique to the area. I was just a little disappointed. Ok a lot read more

Really wanted to like this place. Gave them a second shot this Saturday. Probably won't be a third. The entire place is chaotic. Kitchen is obviously not well run/trained. Food was either over cooked or came out cold. Sent back three of the four entrees delivered to our table. Service was extremely slow. Daughter wanted to see desert menu. Took 20 mins for them to bring desert menu. Didn't order anything because we all just needed to leave. Management (maybe they are the issue) have a lot to fix in this establishment. read more

Had a party of 13 for a celebration, most separate checks. Informed server Marlo of this ahead of time as well as adding appetizers to be added to my bill. She responded no problem and they even helped us display a Photo poster of my daughter. We had the Dry aged pork chop cooked med-rare, Meatloaf, Calabrian Meatballs, Fritto Misto(calamari), Million$mushrooms and Chinese Shrimp Toast. Such a wonderful variety of flavors. read more

We went Saturday night for date night! The place was somewhat full. We ordered the arancini and were happy with the crispness. I loved the pesto at the bottom of the dish but my husband was not a fan. We each ordered an entree - the pork secreto for me and the filet for my husband. Ruhlman's makes a delicious potato and no one can take that away from them! My husbands steak didn't have a sear and wasn't terribly flavorful. My pork was tough but the sauce was fantastic. The upgraded Brussels sprouts were undercooked - by a lot! We really enjoyed our cocktails - old fashioned and blueberry mule (Etta Jean) and topped off our meal with the famous skillet cookie - which was amazing! Our waitress Liz was attentive, friendly and timely. We might try again in the future for drinks and dessert but it's hard when a steakhouse struggles to cook meat.... read more

Not worth it at all. To make reservations and be greeted by hosts in hoodies. To sit down with table lamps but a restaurant lit up felt pointless. Doesn't have a weekend date night vibe. Oysters had no meat. Spent $88 on a wagyu steaks that were charred. Twice baked potato was inedible. Ruhlmans house wine wasn't good. Very disappointed for a date night. Got 10 miles down the road and could still only taste burnt steak. read more

Ruhlman's Steakhouse - Wagyu ribeye and twice baked potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Ashland, Nebraska

Business has changed over the last 5 months, and not for the better! Original executive chef made this restaurant great, but he left.

Ordered the Filet MR and it was dry but red in the middle, don't know how you do that. Diver Scallops were the size of my thumb. The Skillet Cookie was burnt through. On the upside the service was excellent and the atmosphere was good. read more

Really can't say enough about this Ashland GEM. MY GOSH- the filets were out of this world flavorful. I have never had better yukon gold mashed potatoes. The million dollar mushrooms should be renamed billion dollar mushrooms ( j/k). Prices were reasonable for quality. We will definitely be back. read more

The steaks were spot on! Tender and seasoned just right. Had a classic martini which very good as well. And, the house red was nice, although I thought the pour was a bit small in my opinion....... The place was packed on a Friday night. We managed to get in because we arrived early. The ambiance is a nice casual. A bit on the loud side, also, my opinion. The service was good, just the correct amount of attention. We did not get a chance to try the desert menu, but it looked very good as well. We will return! read more

Exceptional service, incredible steaks and wonderful, friendly environment. If you're lucky enough to be there when Andrea is bartending you will get amazed! She doesn't miss a detail. Hard to find this type of care when it's crazy busy. Andrea is a true gem! read more

We took some friends to Ruhlman's for dinner last night. Bragging about the two great experiences we have had. What a disappointment, from service to food quality. The waiter was exhausted and had no interest in serving us. The average wait time for a drink order was 20 minutes. Then we ordered two tasty appetizers. They ordered dinner, which came. Dinner presentation looked good over overcooked steak, cold lasagna, and scallops. The manager came over to try to make it right. But we were over the experience, so they comped two of the meals. Our waiter couldn't figure out our bill properly. So we just paid and said we'll never go back. read more

We went last night a party of 6 adults. We had a reservation and were immediately seated and our orders taken in a very timely manner. Naturally with 6 adults all our orders were somewhat different. The waiter got everything exactly correct and equally important so did the chef. I had the Delmonico Rib Eye and it was absolutely delicious. It was so large that I intended to take half home,but it was so perfectly cooked and so good I ate it all. Everyone at our table was very happy with their steaks and agreed they were delicious. We live in West Omaha and Ruhlman's is well worth the drive. The service was also top notch and the restaurant is very clean. So, with great food, excellent service, and a superb Chef, this restaurant is well worth visiting. We will definitely be back. read more

We had a party of 12 on 6/21/25 with a 6:30 reservation. We showed up promptly at 6:30. The greeting was wonderful and we were led to the back room for larger parties. We put in our initial drink orders, which were filled promptly and we were all enjoying ourselves. Gradually, we were forgotten. Waters ran dry. Orders were never taken. Drinks were finished. There were brief interactions with our waitress, but she (assuming pronouns) never addressed the whole table or made an effort to gauge the satisfaction of the table. It's currently 8:22pm (6:30 reservation). We finally got our waters refilled (after asking) and got our food orders in. We were also served complimentary bread at about 8pm. Hoping the food shows up shortly, but just wanted to drop an honest review and let other people know what we experienced. Cheers! read more

Love this addition to Ashland but will be a destination for others and it's worth the drive . Great comfortable setting and yes the food is amazing and can't ask for fresher meat read more

I loved the comfortable home feeling. The homemade bread was really good. The asparagus was not good. The cheesy mushrooms were too salty for my taste. Steak wasn't very good. It had fat in it. I was glad I went, but I would've preferred the taste of Texas roadhouse. It was really fun though and an interesting restaurant for such a small town. It is fairly pricey. I like to buy meat from their little grocery store. read more

Super nice and fancy on the inside. Feels like a high end steak house but that's where it ends. Food was mediocre at best. Definitely not worth the prices they charge. I got the ribeye with Brussels and twice baked potato and side shrimp. Got the steak medium rare and it was tough and chewy. I had to spit it out and could not finish. Brussels were hardly cooked and potato had like no taste to it. It was like a dry potato. Over all dissatisfied and would not go back. Would not recommend. Especially if you're driving out from Omaha. read more

Ruhlman's Steakhouse - Ribeye with twice baked potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Ashland, Nebraska

Steak was tough. Appetizers were hardly nothing. For the price they are charging for the food, it's not worth it. Save your money.

We were pleasantly surprised with this new steakhouse in Ashland. We had heard it was good and had to try it ourselves. Jordan offered exceptional service as we ordered our meals. The crab rice was delicious and not something you expect as a starter at a steakhouse. My ribeye was prepared medium rare per my order and the crispy potatoes were a hit. Loved the bourbon glazed carrots as well. Nice build out but just a little loud in the main dining room but not too bad. We will be back. read more

Horrible experience. Bartender couldn't tend a simple rum and coke after asking twice, crab cakes were fishy and with little roumalade that couldn't mask it, crème broule was saturated with some sort of frosting. Internet option was difficult to access. Just a train wreck all around! Sad cuz I wanted to love it. Long time Gretna restaurant sadly disappointed. read more

my family of 4 went on a Saturday for lunch, it wasn't too busy. We all ordered steak, my husband's was over cooked instead of medium rare, our baked potatoes were hard and onion rings were soggy and oily. The waitress was slow and busy chatting at the bar with her colleagues. We didn't complain and still tipped her. Never going back again !! read more

Been to Sunday brunch a couple of times. I like the atmosphere, upscale for this area and appealing to the eye. Pretty good selection, will definitely find something you love at the buffet. Service is a little sketchy sometimes but buffets are always weird. Kind of tight spaces the way they have things laid out. We go early and there's not many people, but still seems like you're right on top of each other. My suggestion would be to give people a rundown of the process and options rather than just letting people struggle or use trial and error. read more

Don't bother. Save your money. Food was mediocre. Told us both Chefs were gone and it was evident.

Had friends from Arizona in town and wanted to treat them to something nice. Our waiter was friendly and did great. The building was very nice and seemed clean. On the other hand, the food was under average at best. It was nice to get to check it out, but everybody in the group agreed it was a One and Done. Mcdonalds would have been a much better option even if it cost the same as it did at RUHLMANS. Can't imagine they will be in business for long. Hope aomebody picks up the location and turns it into something worth driving to! One other thing to add it the fact that the attire of many working there does not represent a upper end establishment. Jeans and a decent shirt is plenty good for this establishment. read more
