The Drover

The food is outstanding, the drinks are stiff, and the service and ambiance is unmatched. The loaded baked potatoes soup is out of this world! I had the 14oz whiskey NY strip and my husband had the surf & turf with a whiskey filet and crab legs. Growing up on the East coast, he loved seafood and they did not disappoint. Both our steaks were cooked to perfection, as we'd asked, and he said his crab legs were incredible. I ordered a Jamieon & Ginger and he ordered a Beam & coke - both were made as like 90% alcohol 🎉 worth every penny. We also had a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake which may have been fried in bad oil? That was the only, minor, glitch. Our waiter even took our picture before we left ❤️

August 2025: Came here for a team dinner and had a very enjoyable meal. The place reminds me of a traditional old school steak 🥩 house with dark wood and a rustic feel. Ordered the rib eye whiskey 🥩. It was a boneless cut and had a nice whiskey finish on the pallet. I had a baked potato 🥔 as my side with butter and chives. I was very happy with the potato. My meal came with a choice of soup or salad. I chose the salad bar and got a nice salad. Drink options were pretty good. I had a zip line IPA from a local brewery. Would definitely come back again for more delicious steak 🥩!

If you’re looking for a delicious steak, “The Drover” is the place to be. It is a quaint and cozy restaurant. Eric is a great bartender and had wonderful customer service, looking forward to going back. Seating can be limited at times so it is preferred to make reservations or you can sit at the bar. Highly recommended!

Honestly, hands down best steak of my life - flavorful, tender, melts in your mouth, perfectly cooked. Service was friendly and quick to start and well paced for the meal. Cocktails were excellent. I didn't see a cocktail menu so ordered a favorite - sidecar. I'm picky with onion rings - these were prepared and seasoned spectacularly. Only complaint was the hamand bean soup was too spicy to eat. I have a very low tolerance for hot spicy foods and this was definitely outside of that. Incredible ambiance. A complete delight.

This is a quintessential Omaha steak house. The lighting is dim, the atmosphere is cozy, the staff is fast, friendly and knowledgeable, and the steaks are cooked to perfection. The drink service was right on top of us which was great. The onion rings appetizer had a unique and delicious peppery taste. The salad bar is just fine and the Whiskey Steaks are superb. This place has been in business for a long time for a reason!

I went with a couple friends to this steak house last weekend and honestly had a pretty good time. The ribeye was cooked close to perfect (maybe a tiny bit more done than I asked but still juicy), and the baked potato was nice and fluffy. The place has kind of a cozy vibe, not too loud, which I liked. Our server was friendly and checked on us enough without being annoying. Prices felt fair for what you get. I’d defintely go back again when I’m craving a solid steak dinner

Absolutely amazing!! The 38oz, $100 tomahawk ribeye is worth it!! Both of our steaks, cooked perfectly.

Solid steak, perhaps the best in Omaha, but definitely has room for improvement. It is a good value - the steak, baked potato, and soup for one price (along with bread at the beginning of the meal) is a good amount of food. The ribeye was cooked medium rare, the filet was cooked more on the rare side. It was difficult to taste the whiskey marinade but maybe there was a small hint of sweetness. The salad is a better value than the soup because it’s unlimited but I liked the red pepper soup too. The baked potato seemed very rich with the sour cream, get it on the side. The side of asparagus was plain and underwhelming.

This is a great, classic restaurant with a real cozy feeling because of the great setting. It's a great place to take people for special occasions or just for a great dinner. If you are visiting from out of town, it's a must stop for a great midwestern steak dinner - go with the Whiskey filet. Any choice of meat you choose will be great and they are cooked to perfection of your ask. We also had an order of crab legs that were great portion sized. This is one of our favorite places to go!

This is such a great restaurant to have nearby and I love celebrating special occasions here. The food is top notch, and every time I come back I remark about how it's every bit as good as I remember. The Whiskey Filet is my favorite - the whiskey marinade really adds to the flavor of the meat, and it is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The steaks are always cooked to the degree of done-ness you order, which is hard to find. The sides are generous, along with bread for the table to start. I love the fries and asparagus the most. You also get a salad bar or soup of the day. All in all, this is a great steakhouse and one of my favorite places to take people in Omaha.

The Drover is a dark, western themed steak house just off of 72nd, and people in Omaha are divided on it. In the 3 decades I've been going there little has changed (with the exception of some parts of the interior cause of a fire). Newer steakhouses will be more of a "an experience", but for me The Drover being frozen in time is what makes it great. The Whiskey filet is great, and their signature dish. The pork chops are properly seasoned, and more importantly not dry and overcooked like most places. The service has always been friendly and accommodating. Be sure to make reservations.

Another year, another good experience at the drover! I had a whiskey filet as always. Cooked perfectly! Their salad bar and sides are always prepared well.

Knew exactly where to go for my company's holiday party dinner! I love the restaurant design - it keeps parties relatively secluded and ready to eat. The Drover is an excellent spot for anyone who loves a good steak. I got to splurge on the t-bone and it was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. We also got some bacon wrapped shrimp and cheesy potatoes for the table and they were amazing. The salad bar is great as well to make your meal feel a little healthier ;) Ending with some homemade turtle cheesecake was an excellent choice!

Disclaimer: we sat at the bar, not the dining room. A nearly flawless steakhouse experience. The only down side is how crowded it gets, and the service can feel rushed and people are hovering Around you at the bar. If we had a real table this might have been better. So the good: classic steakhouse with exceptional whiskey steak styles. The food is amazing and a good value. The place also looks like a time capsule for cowboy chic western style, bridging the moment when cowboys went from blue collar jobs to more well paying energy jobs. Food: 5/5. The steak dinner comes with a salad bar option that is diverse and satisfying! But save room for the steak, the real star Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 4/5

The Drover is a very classic steakhouse with a great ambiance. I like that the rooms are separated and have only a few tables per room for a cozy feel. The servers are very quick to get to you and to the point. I love that they have a good old salad bar and warm bread as appetizers. I also got the whisky ribeye and it was cooked correctly and delicious. It's a little pricey but great for a good celebration!

My husband & I enjoy this place. Old school decor to enjoy while enjoying a romantic night out. There's absolutely nothing about this steak house we don't enjoy. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Return customers for sure!

On a trek across the country and found this steakhouse while looking through yelp for dinner recommendations in Omaha! After reading a little about what to expect, we decided to have dinner here and sure weren't disappointed! Our table ordered the Drover prime rib (to share for two of us) and another in the party had the evening special 12 ounce bone in filet. Each of the entrees comes with the salad bar which is standard-- nothing out of the ordinary. We had the prime rib prepared with the whisky sauce and it was so delicious, cooked to perfection. As a side, we had baked potatoes and the sautéed mushroom-- all were equally tasty. We were able to get a last minute reservation so we were seated immediately. A cocktail waitress stopped by soon after to get our drink order and then our waiter came by within the first 5 minutes to get our order. Water was refilled and we felt the amount of attention we had throughout the meal was appropriate. The restaurant is a little dimly lit, but overall a great steakhouse feel. While it was a little pricey, it was definitely worth it!

When in Omaha, you gotta have a steak, right? Well, I was in town for Berkshire weekend and had made plans to get dinner at The Drover. Their bourbon selection and emphasis on "whiskey steaks" sold me. I had a reservation, and it was a good thing I made plans ahead: walking in the place was absolutely packed. Tables full of suits talking about things like markets and EBITDA. I saw two folks who tried to walk up get turned away. The service was generally OK despite the capacity. My bread and soup came out fast after putting in my order. However, there was quite a delay before my steak came out, but it was expected. The bread? A warm wheat round loaf, served with salted butter. It was reminiscent of the brown bread at Cheesecake Factory. For my soup, I got the Clam Chowder: not too hot, loaded with potatoes and less loaded on the clams. Drinks? The whiskey selection was indeed pretty good. They had bottles of Weller, EH Taylor, and Blanton's on the bar, which I am sure would impress a bourbon enthusiast. I personally would have liked to see some more craft options. For my entree, I got the Whiskey Ribeye: perfectly cooked, but not sure what made it a "whiskey steak." Didn't taste any influence from any whiskey. It needed a little bit more seasoning, but it was overall a good cut of meat. With an old school lounge meets wild west atmosphere, The Drover satisfied my craving for a classic steak dinner.

In Omaha and looking for a good steak? This is a quaint steakhouse that's about a 10-minute drive from downtown Omaha. I am giving 3 starts because the steak was pretty good, but not amazing. Furthermore, my server forgot my drink and it took a long while to get my food. The best part of my experience was just the atmosphere and decor. If I'm ever back in Omaha, I won't be back here. I think there are other better steak joints in the area if you're just looking for flavor.

You can't come to Omaha and not go to a steakhouse. Came into town for a wedding and came here and we weren't disappointed. Drover is a true throwback to classic steakhouses. The rich wood paneling, dim lighting, and leather booths create a warm, nostalgic vibe complete with an old school salad bar. Service is top-notch--attentive and gracious without being overbearing. The steaks are perfectly cooked with a beautiful sear, and the sides are rich and satisfying. Had the filet and the sea bass and the sea bass was even one of the best I've had.

This was the restaurant that made me feel like I was back in my home state . I ordered the 38oz tomahawk with the whiskey marinade. I've eaten a lot of ribeyes in my life but this was the best tasting one I've had in recent memory, if not ever. I put a phone down for scale because there's not a single fruit in this establishment lol. One of the staff offered some A1 steak sauce as a unit of measurement but added "don't put this on there though." Noted, sir. The bread and baked potato were nice and warm, the perfect comfort food. I also did enjoy the salad bar. I hedged on the dessert but ended up getting it bc I already blew past my week's calorie count anyways. I got the homemade turtle cheesecake- it wasn't like any traditional cheesecake that I've had but almost like a delicious fusion of cheesecake and warm bread pudding with all the toppings. Super rich and decadent like how a dessert should be. I'm coming to this restaurant every time I visit home now, thank you for the delicious meal!

My wife and I had heard enough great things about Drover's that we trusted the celebration of our anniversary by having dinner there; like the woman I asked to marry me, it was the perfect choice! As soon as we walked in out of the cold, windy evening we were greated with a warm, somehow casual but elegant, somehow low lit but inviting feel. We were immediately greeted and seated, 10 minutes before our reservation time. We sat in a section of the restaurant (side room) with only four tables, cozy and intimate with the muffled sound of clinking glasses from the bar adding to the experience. We were sipping drinks within minutes (my Rob Roy had me thinking of MacGregor and the Scottish Highlands) and looking over the menu. Our server, Kathy, was attentive and helpful; it was clearly her intent to make our experience a fantastic one and she succeeded. We both chose the Whiskey filet (incredibly tasty and cooked exactly as we asked) and a loaded baked potato; I had the Salad Bar (understated but ideal from the chilled dishes to the crisp vegetables to the varied toppings) while my wife had some nicely seasoned chicken noodle soup. This particular meal took a little while to come out as the steaks are marinated after you order. We knew this in advance and simply enjoyed our drinks and conversation until served. Our dessert, on the house for our anniversary, was a piece of CaroLynn's cheesecake, a perfect ending to the evening. The overall cost of the meal was certainly not cheap but I left feeling we'd gotten our money's worth and then some. Nicely done Drover's; we'll be back.

We've gone here several times because my brother loves it, but I have never been super impressed. The vibe is very old-school steakhouse, which is cool. I will say it was oddly FREEZING last night the restaurant, and I say that as a 7 months pregnant woman who is always hot. Several members of our party ended up using a blanket that they went and got from the car. The starter bread was very good - soft, warm, plenty of butter. My husband and I both had the loaded baked potato soup, which was fantastic. Several members of our party had the salad bar which was nothing to write home about. I had the burger and fries. It had plenty of blue cheese, which I appreciated, and tons of fries. But as far as taste, it was fine but not great. The rest of our party got steak. Everyone noted that it was incredibly tough. My husband hardly ate any of his, which is not like him. He said he had to chew each piece so long to ensure he didn't choke, and he finally just gave up. We had several servers throughout the meal, but service as a whole was very slow. I would not personally choose to come back here.

This was a highly recommended stop on my way through Omaha! I don't eat beef, so I honestly didn't know exactly what to expect. The ambiance is very old school steakhouse. It was packed, even on a Tuesday night, so I'd highly recommend a reservation. It was a touch loud, but we were seated by a large party. The service was great, but things were a little slow. As far as the food goes, that is where this place shines. The salad bar is simple, but knocks it out of the park. I loved the chilled plates! I ordered the chicken and it was good, but I wish I knew it came on a bed of rice. I would have picked a different side if I knew. Overall, a solid steakhouse, even for someone who doesn't eat steak!

Food was great. Service mostly friendly but slow. Came in on a Monday night for dinner before NYE. Place was bumping. Very quaint, traditional steak house look. Kitchen is in the open so you can watch the two chefs work their butts off! Everything was very reasonably priced. Got a bottle of Frank Family Cab that was only about 10% over what I could but it for in a store. Started with some onion rings and a very tasty salad bar. We both had the whiskey steaks, one filet and the other ribeye. Each were excellent and worth coming back for again and again. The service was weird. One of the servers mentioned they make a group effort at serving and everyone helps out. The woman that took our wine order was great. Very friendly and cordial. The woman that took our order was a bit cold. The food and check took longer than they should have. Water glass was empty way too long. By the end of the night, I counted 5 people that touched our table during our visit. My gut tells me by not having a dedicated server, no one takes accountability for service. Hence, the numerous shortcomings we saw. Regardless, would return again but sit at the bar.

It's hard to believe I've lived in Omaha my entire life and had never been to The Drover. Not anymore, baby! My wife and I chose this classic Omaha steakhouse to celebrate our 18th anniversary and it did NOT disappoint. So much bread. So much salad bar... I was a bit concerned I wouldn't have room for the main course, but our steaks were cooked to *perfection* and those sautéed mushrooms... Oh, those sautéed mushrooms! Must. Order. I need a good excuse to come back to The Drover. Thankfully, my birthday is coming up soon...

First time eating here in probably a year or so. Typically I'm a cheap person so I go for just a sandwich typically but this time I went for the lunch steak special. Of course it's not a top-of-the-line steak, but it was still pretty good and it filled me up. I also enjoyed the salad bar that I chose to get over the soup. Service was very good as well. I'm sure I'll be back sooner than later this time.

Plain and simple! The Drover is absolutely amazing! Can be a bit of a long dinner as they are always slammed but the STEAK IS WORTH IT!!! And the salad bar rocks!

Great meal when visiting Omaha. Will go back again when in the area. Service was excellent, too.

I had such high hopes for The Drover, but unfortunately, they fell short in many aspects. Arrival: I had a reservation. There was no host/ hostess stand or any staff around to ask. After wandering the full restaurant, I approached a server to ask where I could be seated for my reservation. Drinks: The server was unable to discern wine pairings or make adequate recommendations. She suggested ones that she said she heard were good. Service: I am gluten free (celiac disease). I informed my server of my gluten allergy. When ordering, I asked if my meal would be gluten free, she said she did not know, and that she has "issues with gluten and it was fine for [her]." She did not offer to check with the kitchen staff to find out whether or not something could be made gluten free. She recommended the fries and onion rings as sides, and I asked if they were gluten free, no cross contamination, and she confirmed this. When I asked if the fries shared a fryer with anything breaded, she said yes, the onion rings are breaded and not gluten free, and the fries were fried in the same fryer, meaning the onion rings nor fries were actually gluten free. I also asked if the house whiskey steak marinade was gluten free, and she said she did not know, but that she personally hadn't had issues having it herself. She did not offer to check or find out. I asked if it contained soy sauce, which has gluten, and she said that it did. Salad bar: The salad bar was bare minimum at best, with one lettuce base option, 6 toppings, and 6 dressings, along with crackers. No spinach. Toppings were spilled into other ones, and it did not seem sanitary. Very messy. Food: The food took a while to come out. My order was inaccurate; my side was not what I had ordered. She did not offer to have my correct side brought out, but instead offered another trip to the (pathetic) salad bar. The steak itself was extremely average, not much flavor. Environment: Very loud, bright, crowded, with several large groups with loud children running around. Not very relaxed or quiet. Overall, I am extremely disappointed with my overall experience in general: Arrival disorganized, with a wait time even with a late weeknight reservation and no staff present to seat me and no hostess stand or area. Server not knowledgeable about menu or offerings. Server not knowledgeable about food allergies, neglecting the possible severity, not offering to double check with the kitchen for when she was unsure. Food was very disappointing, especially for the price. I was expecting a high end steakhouse, and I do not think I will be returning to this establishment unless major changes are made.

Wanted to stop by in Omaha as we drove cross country and saw many recommendations for steak, specifically the whiskey steaks at the Drover. It did not disappoint. We got the Whiskey Ribeye with asparagus and it was perfect. A nice sear on the outside with a perfectly soft center. Hint of whiskey in the flavor for a unique spin. There is a parking lot and plenty of street parking. We came later on a weekday night and were seated immediately but you may need reservations during busier hours. From order to the arrival of our food took maybe 20-30 minutes. While a little slow in the beginning, the staff were really accommodating when we had an order mixup and pretty attentive afterwards. The vibes are more old school/classic steakhouse but those dressed for all occasions are welcome. We saw parties nicely dressed, while personally we were casual as we had been driving all day. Despite this we were still accepted in to eat (a plus for us but seems like some posters expect everyone to be in their Sunday Best). We'd definitely come back/go out of our way to eat here again.

The Drover is an Omaha institution, and it happens to be right next door to my office building so we have had many lunches there over the years! The ambiance is definitely old school steak house. It's pretty dim in there (I knocked my water over, it was so dim the first time I went LOL) It's very stuck in the 70s/cowboy style, and is sticking with that for better for worse. It's a little on the pricy side, but you do get what you're paying for. There was a fire at The Drover a few years back, and I was wondering if the rebuild would mean the style would be updated, but it definitely was not. Still old school, wagon wheel out front, Drover. The service is great with very attentive waitstaff who give recommendations and offer opinions on what you might like that day. They've never steered me wrong. I always get the Salad Bar as the side with my entree and it's a pretty good one. Small, but high quality offerings - and they have eggs, thousand island, and black olives, so that wins in my salad-bar book. For entrees, my favorites are the Teriyaki Tenderloin Skewers (if I'm in a lighter-feeling mood) and the Whiskey Grilled Prime Rib, if I'm wanting something heavier. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing light at The Drover, but there are degrees of heaviness to consider. I'm a huge fan of teriyaki anything, so the Teriyaki Tenderloin Skewers are right up my alley. The meat is just as tender as the prime rib, but in smaller bites. But trust me they are NOT too small. There are three humungous squares, grilled up with the teriyaki marinade and served over basmati rice (which is actually very flavorful, as rice goes). It also comes with a strip of grilled veggies (mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes), so if you're a fan of teriyaki, tender meat, and flame grilled veggies - this is for you. The Whiskey Grilled Prime Rib is gigantic - I have never been able to finish it in one go, so either bring your appetite or ask for a takeaway box. The Prime Rib is some of the best I've ever had in Omaha, very tender and cuts like butter. The whiskey marinade is just the added touch on top to give a little tangy flavor. Whatever you get at The Drover, it will be high quality and cooked to perfection. I am only dinging it one star for the dated decor and dimness - but I absolutely recommend you check it out for the amazing food, at least once.

Why are the ratings so high? We went to dinner for our 45th wedding anniversary on a Sunday night. Our reservations were early. We placed our order; we had a long wait before it arrived. The salad bar was very nice. BUT..... Two of us had steaks and one had the bass. The potatoes were hot, but the steaks and bass were lukewarm at best. My steak, prime rib was done correctly but tough. The au jus tasted like it came from a grocery store packet, not the drippings. The other steak was very thin, lukewarm and tough. The Chilean Sea Bass was lukewarm. The service was great. We were very disappointed in our meals.

Who knew a three-year-old gift card could spark such a culinary adventure? Buried deep in our pockets (or memory), this little gem finally saw the light of day on Friday night as we headed to Omaha's iconic steakhouse, The Drover. Spoiler: It was a mixed bag of salad bars, whiskey filets, and a side of "meh." We arrived a few minutes before our 5:30 reservation, hoping for a smooth start. Parking? No problem. Getting seated? A whole different story. We stood awkwardly at the bar entrance, exchanging glances with other hungry parties as the host mysteriously disappeared. My 75-year-old dad nearly launched a one-man search party before the host reappeared and ushered us into a cozy little alcove. Cozy turned out to mean "crammed with wine-fueled conversations so loud we could barely hear each other," but hey, it's all part of the charm, right? Our server appeared to share the specials and promptly disappeared, leaving the cocktail server to take drink orders. Diet Coke for me (yes, it's a Coke establishment, for those tracking soda politics), but after that, hydration became a DIY affair. Water refills? Yes. Soda refills? A hard no. My glass sat empty most of the meal while the martini-table folks seemed to have unlimited service. The famed salad bar called, so we went to check it out. Chilled metal plates? Check. Crisp iceberg lettuce? Check. But then... oh no. Mushy, frozen cucumbers. Why, Drover, why? Other toppings hit the mark, and the poppyseed dressing was liquid gold, so all wasn't lost. A warm loaf of bread arrived, and we inhaled it. Sadly, that was our only loaf. Meanwhile, the martini table got refills like Oprah handing out cars. You get bread! You get bread! Us? Not so much. When the entrees arrived, things looked promising. My whiskey filet (butterflied, with sautéed mushrooms) was flawless--so tender it practically cut itself. The mushrooms had a surprising little kick that kept things interesting, though there were too many for me to finish. My husband's T-bone and onion rings hit all the right notes, but my dad's prime rib? Let's just say it wasn't winning any awards. Served medium rare, it was cold, and without the au jus, it would've been downright unappetizing. He wasn't thrilled with the meat but raved about his baked potato, calling it the best he's had in years. Small victories, I guess! Oh, and remember those little spiced apple garnishes they used to include? Gone. I missed them, just for nostalgia, but because my late grandpa would've eaten every single one, parsley and all. The quickest part of our night was the bill. Our total before the $100 gift card came to about $200, leaving $99 to pay out of pocket. Not terrible for three steak dinners at a classic spot. But was it worth it? Usually, I leave The Drover impressed, but this time, it felt like an off-night. Maybe it was the cold prime rib, the sad cucumbers, or the hit-or-miss service. Regardless, The Drover remains an Omaha institution, and I know it'll continue to draw its loyal crowd. As for me? I'll be back--eventually. I'm just not racing to beat you there.

Literally my favorite steak house ever. The whiskey marinade is amazing ans the quality of beef cant be beat! This is my go to place! Great service fresh salad bar!!

This place still does it right. I have been enjoying this place since the early 2000s when I worked across the street. It was a favorite place to go to celebrate a birthday. Steaks are large tender and delicious. I recommend the whiskey marinade, one of their signatures.

When you enter in the restaurant, there was no greeting. Had to wait for a couple of minutes to find the host. Took 45 minutes for a medium steak to come!!!! Steak was burned and the waitress was kind of rude and dismissive of the issue. No apology. Got the box to go and cut the burned parts and left it on the plate. Also, all the waitresses seem very tense and not very friendly. I felt that they were unhappy to be at their job. The salad bar was decent and bread was great.

This is typically my favorite steakhouse not for the atmosphere but for the food quality. I haven't been here is a year or more but was in town for the week and made reservations with colleagues. Because of the baseball games going on in Omaha we had to stay a good distance outside of Omaha to afford a hotel room but still made reservations to come here. I'm pretty consistent with a 4.5 rating here with the atmosphere pulling the rating down but the food keeping it high. We were seated right away upon on arrival which is pretty uncommon for this place due to the popularity. I was quite disappointed with the price increase on the menu (know it's happening everywhere). I got the whiskey fillet like a normally do and the size seemed a little smaller than normal. Not significant but still smaller, the steak was cooked well but the whiskey filet usually is very tender, flavorful and almost melts in your mouth. This time it wasn't near that. It was a good steak don't get me wrong but it wasn't the whiskey filet that brings people back. My colleague got the prime rib and was disappointed with how dry it was. The service was ok but seemed a bit cold and not as welcoming as normal. I would give this place another try but not more than one more time to improve because I can walk to several steakhouse for good quality without driving for 30 minutes with where I normally stay.

Seated promptly on a busy Friday for lunch. Service for beverage and ordering was quick and delivery quick. Iced tea was fresh and wonderful. Both ordered Lunch special Whisky Sirloin. I got the red pepper gouda cheese soup which was fantastic. Friend got the salad bar. I realize the salad bar was more expensive ala carte but opted for the cup of soup, would have loved more! The salad bar was fresh but not a super special variety of offerings, when offering either or they should both be similar price or both unlimited, In my opinion. Baked potato was steaming hot when the meal finally arrived-1 hour into being seated. Steak was done medium but not super-hot when arrived. Mine was delicious and friends was very gristly. She left more than half of it. Albeit I give them props for friendliness.

Steak done the way steak should be done!!!! $29 for a 10oz whiskey seasoned filet with a side of mushrooms and a cup of soup. Service was great. Ambiance was great. Bathrooms were clean. Definitely recommend coming here for lunch if you want to save your wallet.

Classic old-world steakhouse. There are not many left in Omaha. The food here was better than at Gorat's. I ate at the bar, and had the salad bar and one of their whiskey steaks. It was tasty. I ended up sitting next to the mayor of a local town and we talked about Warren Buffett. You never know who you are going to meet at The Drover. The bartender was friendly and the decor was comfortable/homey. I'll definitely be back.

Always one of my favorite spots...best salad bar with ice cold plates, nothing else like the whiskey marinated ribeye and the largest baked potato with all the toppings. I also highly recommend the teriyaki marinated steak kebab which is served with grilled vegetables. Outstanding food. Great place to bring anyone who is coming in from out of town for a piece of Omaha history. The only downside I have experienced is with my blood mary as it was lacking in any accouterments with it.

Couple of whisky ribeyes, so tender and perfectly prepared, everything you'd expect in an Omaha prime steak. Great salad bar. Couldn't make a reservation but we took a chance, walked in and were seated immediately. We'll be back.

We scheduled a 730 reservation. We got seated about 745 so not a bad wait. The place was packed but could have seemed that way as it seems small. Low ceilings and outdated decor to me but they were keeping it rustic. Had the whiskey filet and it was cooked great but needed seasoning. Was very bland. The scalloped potatoes was a hash brown casserole with green chilis or something in it. Not what I would really call scalloped potatoes and the top crust was well done. The salad bar I had heard was really awesome but was not that impressive. Think there is better steakhouses in Omaha. It this is my second time to Omaha.

Great atmosphere and food at fair prices. We All went away full and happy. Recommend for couples Or groups.

Tables fill up fast so I recommend getting a reservation if you're in a party of 2 or more. If you're flying solo like me, you'll only be able to walk in. BUT the seats in the bar flip pretty quickly! I had the 14oz Rib Eye in The Drover Whiskey Marinade with a side of onion rings. Both were great and highly recommended.

Stopping in for some of their famous whiskey steak! We have been trying to get to this restaurant for years, and during our first visit, it did not disappoint! Immediately located just north of I 80 off of 72nd St., The Drover offers generous parking for easy access. The exterior of the restaurant is unassuming and leads you into a cozy steak restaurant. The restaurant does not open until 5 PM but the full bar was open for cocktails a little earlier. Check their website for operating hours. We were there on a Wednesday evening with reservations, and it became readily apparent that it was a good thing we had them. The restaurant is busy, but with small dining areas you're never in a large crowd. The staff was exceptionally attentive, and we were quickly walked us through the menu including a few off menu specials. The price point on the menu is higher than you would expect, but it is for quality. All entrées come with salad bar or soup options. The salad bar is not extensive, but it does offer super fresh ingredients and individualized salad dressing containers that reflect how we access public salad bars in the aftermath of Covid. Our party included several who had been to this restaurant before and highly recommended the whiskey marinated steaks. We typically are not big fans of marinated steaks, but we have to admit it was absolutely fantastic! The steaks were cooked to perfection, and even one at the table who wanted an adjustment had no problem getting their steak cooked a little further. There were barely any leftovers! The Drover offers a very nice dessert menu which we took to go because we had had way too much at dinner! When we finally did get to our desserts, we have to admit that the New York style cheesecake ranked as some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend this restaurant, which is great for date night, special occasions, or just to treat yourself!

Tried some good ol' steak here while on a work trip and boy- it's true what they say: steak really is better in Omaha! Very 'cabin in the woods' vibe here, w a bar area and dining room tables. There's a salad bar if you're more into that sort of thing, but the real star is the whiskey ribeye. Do not omit! Repeat: do not skimp on the steak. Enjoy

We popped in on a Wednesday evening for dinner without a reservation as a party of 3. Everyone I work with recommended this spot as THE steakhouse to take visiting relatives to, and I'm so glad we listened! They were able to squeeze us in without a wait - the hostess said it was one of their slower nights. It looks tiny from the parking lot, but it's actually surprisingly big on the inside. Tables aren't too close together, and the lighting is typical of a nicer steakhouse - dim with low warm light. Decor is definitely Western, but elevated. Definitely would be a great place to bring clients for dinner or celebrate a milestone. I didn't see any children while we were here, and I'm not sure it's a great place to bring kiddos. Our waitress was friendly and helpful with menu recommendations as it was our first visit, and the volume level was just right despite being next to a table of twelve. We ordered three steaks, all with whiskey marinade - two filets and one NY strip. I think the pricing is decent, but it is definitely worth it in quality - about $55 and up. Our meals came with brown bread at the table and a trip to the salad bar. I've never lived anywhere that loves salad bars the way Omaha does, but this one was actually really good. Everything was fresh, ice-cold, and the lettuce was crisp. Our steaks didn't take too long, and they were cooked to perfection. The whiskey marinade gives it just the right amount of flavor without being too overpowering. I'm not a drinker or a fan of whiskey, but I really liked it. Beef was butter-tender and juicy. My side was a baked potato, and it was pretty good - nothing spectacular. We finished the night with some decaf coffee and a slice of their turtle cheesecake split between the three of us and left stuffed! It was a great meal that our relative still raves about and I'm looking forward to our next visit.

Love the atmosphere of this restaurant. Dark and moody but still very welcoming. Food is great! I ordered the top sirloin medium rare with broccoli cheddar soup and an espresso martini. Great place for a date night.

Love the ambiance. Currently eating the filet and it fucks. Salad bar fucks. Compliments to the chef

Super friendly and very good/great service. My son and I went in on a very busy Sunday night without a reservation. The hostess was very helpful with getting us a table after a long wait. The wait was expected since we didn't have a reservation. The food is amazing. We each had the whisky ribeye. It was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. Service all around was fantastic. I do recommend making a reservation weeks in advance if possible. If we are ever in Omaha again we will definitely make it back.

Affairs happen here. Business deals are sealed here. You walk in and it's dim lit, it's a modern cowboy theme. The art work is on metal sheets and the colors are vibrant. It made me feel like this is the place in town people escape to for that longer lunch break, meeting their secret someone, making deals over steaks or just enjoying a highly rated meal. And we did enjoy that highly rated food! When in Rome do as the Romans... steak and of course I tried their signature whiskey sauce. Baked potato loaded (minus chives) and the salad bar. The weak point for me was the salad bar. Interesting that you get your own personal tongs for making your salad. I kept wanting to drop it as I moved along but I survived! I am an East coast loving blue cheese girl. The blue cheese flavor was dismal. So much so I returned back to the salad bar for the Italian dressing. I failed there too... it was much more vinaigrette. My tastebuds were disappointed (this is why i couldn't give them 5 stars.) But then I was blown away with the savory flavor of each bite of steak I had. It melts in your mouth! The potato- perfect! Loaded in all the right ways. I can't stop thinking about this plate of food. I wish I could do it all over again but Omaha was a one day deal. Maybe someday Drover...

Pros: delicious filet cooked perfectly. Classic salad bar! Viiiibes. Cons: really unfortunate Manhattan. Bread was meh. Look at the end of the day, what are you here for, steak? Then you will leave happy. If you like me enjoy a delicious sip with your steak you may be less pleased. I am not one to send things back but I seriously contemplated sending back the manhattan. I loved the salad bar! Yay big ol iceberg leaves and chopped eggs. Nothing like a steakhouse salad bar! The bar was a chill spot to soak up the steak vibes. Although it was also just hilarious to listen to the drunk guy on a business trip talking to the other drunk guy on a business trip who had only eaten at The Drover his entire trip. That guy would give 5 stars.

Love this place! The lobster Mac n cheese is phenomenal. We made a reservation and they attended us quickly. Staff was polite and the place was clean and dimmed, perfect for a date night.

The Drover is iconic in my opinion- and for good reason! It's unique and classy but yet has a little old world charm. It's a place to meet with friends for a night out or you could be with buisness men striking your next business deal. You can come as you are, fancy or casual-everyone is welcome. The drover is known for its steaks....specifically its whiskey marinade which each steak is marinated at the time you order. The marinade consists of specific mix of whiskey and soy sauce and then flame grilled. I've never not had the whiskey marinated steak at the Drover but you do have either option. The Drover has a small salad bar. It's a classic salad bar with many of the staples you're accustomed to. I especially appreciate the salad bar ingredients are kept ice cold- a small but important detail I appreciate! I typically get the ribeye here. If I'm being honest, I have had mostly great top tier steaks here. Occasionally I will get a steak that has more chew to it than I would prefer. Honestly the same thing has happened at other steakhouse in town, it's likely to be unavoidable as much as it pains me to admit. The service at the Drover is top notch. Consistently a notch above the competition!

I love this place. Six of us had dinner; whiskey filet, filet and prime rib! Wonderful service, great execution!
