Husker Steak House

Lots of food for the value. Really good soup and fresh bread. Steak was cooked like I ordered it. The hash browns are home made. Yummy. I was given a choice of green beans or spaghetti. I chose green beans. Pretty bland and tough. Overall I would recommend to fellow Unilocalers.

Poor service, I received an incorrect order and they made no offer to fix the situation once it was brought to my server’s attention. As a matter of fact, the manager came up and basically told me I was wrong for finding my prime rib over cooked and that I did not receive the wrong side dishes. I will not dine here again.

Old school prairie steak house. Meat was excellent! Sirloin was thick, rare and delicious. Prime Rib was pink, tender, and nice. Nothing sophisticated.
Don’t ask about the sides, I just don’t want ‘em. You can still get liver and onions in this steak house. Dinner with drinks was only $ 60 for two.

This is an old established old-​fashioned steak house. It is retro right down to the vinyl booth covers. The rib-​eye was about ¾″ and cooked very well. It could use a little more seasoning, but I added salt and pepper to make it just right. I had the hashbrowns that were very good and crunchy. The salad was cold and the house bleu cheese dressing was very cheesy. As an alternate to veggies, they offer spaghetti. I wished I had ordered the veggies, but the spaghetti was OK.
Good dinner.

Great service. Amazing Prime rib!

Service is outstanding. Food is outstanding. Prices are reasonable. Portion size is what a normal person should eat and not too huge. We only go there for prime rib, we always get the Husker cut with horseradish and extra au jus. It is awesome! The only place with traditional prime rib that compares to it is the 360 in Omaha, which is way more ‘uppity’ and expensive.
They would get five stars from me if there was more intimate seating. My only complaint is that there is no privacy, even in the back room. The tables are exactly as close to each other as the fire code allows, with no ‘date-​quality’ seating.

Food was great but the service is the reason for the 3 star rating. If I base my opinion only on the food the place gets a 4. Take off 1 stars just for the ultra slow service. If these people moved any slower they would be going backward. Other then that the foog was Ribeye Steak I had came out prepared exactly how I ordered and even though the service was slow my meal did still show up nice and hot.

First off, the city of Columbus, Nebraska is off the major routes to bigger cities like Omaha, and KC; so you might not be able to enjoy this great family steakhouse.
However, if you ARE within 30 miles, then I say put it on your itinerary! They have the most delicious cuts of chops, steaks, chicken and fish that you’ll want after a good long day of travel or work.
Even though the sign in front of the restaurant says «Come as You Are», I’d suggest showering up a bit and not being a total slob when you walk in.
They make good drinks to start off your course, and end your meal with; and the waitresses are both pretty and great at their craft!
The sides always compliment their meals (I’ve been there twice). A good-​sized baked potato padded the landing of my New York, one time; and even though I’m not a veggies guy, I ordered that once, and the covered half the plate with fresh vegetables along my top sirloin.
Both times I went, there were more than 8 people, and each and everyone of them were big-​time pleased with their meals… Pleased and STUFFED.
It’s a great steakhouse in a small town; and if you chance yourself by the city of Columbus, Nebraska, then I say stop in and give yourself a good mid-​western hearty treat of a meal.

The Husker Steak house isn’t much to look at from the outside, but the food is pretty good. I went here with my family and enjoyed a tasty chicken fried steak for dinner. Even though I prefer white gravy, the brown gravy served was good.
The veggie side dish was subpar. I think the veggies were frozen and nuked
I wish there was mashed potatoes served as a side. Nothing is better with a chicken fried steak than mashed potatoes. I opted for a baked potato. The baked potato was cooked nicely, but doesn’t compare to mashed potatoes.
If you opt for the salad with your dinner and select bleu cheese, opt for crumbles and the dressing.
The service was good, especially for a table of 10.
My wife wasn’t in the mood for a big meal and opted for the spaghetti and was disappointed.
Everyone else in my party enjoyed their meal-​prime rib, steak, chicken and chicken fingers for the 2 kids aged 10.
Final rating 3.5. With a few adjustments this could be a 4.

No better place in Columbus for steak or prime-​rib hands down
