* 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.

A kids area with some books and a chalkboard. We sat outside because we had been cooped up in the car and all the kids were playing on the big hill next to us! lol They ran out of fish n chips and they flew my husbands new order out in less than 5 mins

Their Rancho Cobb salad is one of my favorites here. There is lots of seating, the staff is always great. A solid place to grab a good meal!

If you like the mild, slightly sweet flavor of midwestern food with familiar vegetables (corn,…read morecarrots, peas) you will probably really like this place. The Indian flavors are subtle and approachable. We ordered the medium spice level and it was not at all spicy, however, we heard people around us ordering mild and commenting on how spicy it was. No shade to midwesterners, I am one originally but we did not think it was super flavorful, on the other hand we ordered vegetarian and my guess is, in beef country I imagine the meat is good. Restaurant is clean with a full bar, even though there was only one server he did a good job and the service was fine. My advice, if you are an Indian food enthusiast is to skip. If you are not usually the type but looking for a little adventure I think you will love it.

The cheeseburger and fries were also a hit, and the crispy sandwich was both tasty and satisfying. The two women working, one behind the bar and the other in the kitchen, were so welcoming and kind, which really added to the charm. You can tell this is a spot where lots of locals gather, and while it may not be packed with tourists, that makes it feel even more authentic and special. My kids especially loved reading the story on the wall about the largest train robbery in the 1870s that happened nearby--it gave the whole place such a fun, historic vibe. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!
