This Family-Owned Nebraska Steakhouse Still Hand-Cuts Its Steaks The Old-Fashioned Way
A 60-gallon kettle of spaghetti sauce simmers for eight hours every single day here. The recipe traces back to Carlentini, Sicily, and the family still keeps it secret. Then come the steaks. They’re Angus beef, aged 21 days, and hand-cut in-house the way it was done generations ago. I appreciate a kitchen that refuses to take shortcuts on the main event.

The SBH Review: Culinary Dropout offers comfort food, straightforward cocktails and buzzy atmosphere
Entrees are primarily focused on comfort food pub classics. There’s meatloaf, fish and chips, ribs and lasagna, among other dishes. It’s been a while since I’ve heard anyone refer to a restaurant as a “gastropub.” If you’re an Omaha diner, you probably know what I mean with that term: A casual neighborhood joint that happens to have chef-driven, tasty food that is often made from scratch, down to the condiments. But it maintains the feel of a European “pub,” casual enough to stop in for a beer, sometimes listen to a live musician or meet friends for happy hour.
