The Office Bar & Grill

We enjoyed our experience at the office bar and grill. The service was good and our food was delicious. Nice surprise in a small Nebraska town. And the prices very reasonable.

Very disappointed after hearing nothing but great things. The wait was long, understandable if the food is to die for. But the steak I had was barely edible. I ordered a medium rare office cut. What I got was burnt and flavorless. It had no seasoning on it. The char was dirty from an unclean broiler so that char tasted awful. I told my waitress (the big one) that my steak was not
Very good. She dropped the ticket on the table and walked away. Never even got refills on our drinks. So we had to track down the manager. She was very apologetic and nice, but only offered a free dessert on our next visit to which we risk ordering more burnt steaks. For shelling out over $ 50 I would have expected more reasonable compensation. Will be giving the free dessert away to a friend or something.

Our dining experience was all around disappointing. We had a 7:00 PM reservation. We arrived a few minutes ahead of time and we were directed to wait in the lounge area. At 20 minutes past our reservation time, we were shown to our table.
Our server was friendly. She promptly took our drink order, then our food order. She informed us that they were out of baked potatoes. My fiancé ordered a filet cooked rare and I ordered the prime rib cooked medium rare. As I couldn’t have a baked potato, I ordered my potatoes mashed. We also ordered deep fried mushrooms as an appetizer.
The drinks were served right away. The salads were served swimming in dressing and arrived before the appetizer mushrooms. A few bites into our salads, the mushrooms were served complete with cheese sauce that appeared to be directly out of a can. The appetizer plates that we were given to use for them were made of Styrofoam.
We finished as much as we wanted of the salads and mushrooms then waited. And waited, and waited. Our water glasses went dry. Still we waited. Finally, our server cam to our table to confirm our order and informed us that they were now out of mashed potatoes, but had baked ones again. I ordered the baked.
So we waited, and waited, and waited. At last, the prime rib and steak were served. The prime rib was cooked as ordered, but cold. The au jus was so salty that it was overwhelming. The filet was cooked not rare, but medium well. I sent mine back to be replaced with a hot piece. The same piece I sent back was re-​served to me. It had been microwaved and was over cooked and tough. That was the final dining insult.
We spoke with the manager and expressed our concerns. She was polite and apologetic. She comped our meals. She invited us back, but I doubt that we will return.

I don’t know if this place is still open cause I’ve been out of state for quite some time now, but I sure hope it is! People drive from a long way to eat here and for good reason. It’s the best small town dining experience I’ve ever had. One of the best prime ribs you’ll ever eat (I think it’s only offered on weekends)! The executive sandwich is also one of my personal favorites. And the food is about 85% of what I love about this place. The people are the other 15%. If you’re a regular, they know you by name and if you’re not a regular, they treat you like you are anyway. Cool vintage atmosphere too. They actually have two bar areas, so it’s a good place to grab a drink as well. I now live in Southern California where there is a plethora of restaurants, but I can honestly say this is one of my favorite restaurants I’ve been to anywhere.
