The Golden Spur Steakhouse & Saloon Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Darrell P.

    The only steakhouse in the area closes at 9:00 PM on a Friday night, Memorial Day weekend, at an interstate highway exit with half a dozen hotels nearby. Does this make sense to anyone? Probably for the best though since the food reviews are bad.

    Expensive for what you get. Indifferent service. Beer in tall frosted mugs was great as were the peanuts.

    Great friendly people. Has a nice home town feel. Food good service excellent. Full bar and full menu. Good stopping place right off route 80.

    DON'T EAT HERE! How can you screw up a Beam and water drink? Tasted like cigarette. The food was frozen or out of the can. Knew it was a bomb after walking in the door but I'm a glutton for punishment. $50 mistake! Go to the Mexican Restaurant next door if desperate.

    I don't think I've ever rated a place one star but Spur earned it fair and square. the food was an abomination. I know that sounds overly dramatic, but the only thing working well in the kitchen is the flavor-sucking gadget. I sent back my chicken southwest salad with tortilla chips. the corn was some canned crap with white sugar stuff on it, the tortilla chips were stale and the lettuce had brown edges. I realized I was takin mos if the ingredients of the plate so I just sent it back and ordered a 'filet.' It tasted as if it had been frozen (in NEBRASKA? Land of delicious steaks?), the baked potato tasted microwaved, and the black beans were hard and flavorless - kind of like how I'd imagine rabbit droppings. Our sweet, elderly waitress did her best but alas, she was pretty uninformed about the menu. If you can find ANY other place to go in Ogallalla, go there. The highly-rated Chinese place was closed so we ended up at Spur next to the Best Western where we were staying.

    The steak was great the baked potato awesome but the baked beans were out of a can. Tasted okay but still out of a can not fresh . If I lived nearby I would probably come back for the steak and potato type foods. Service was slow and unpredictable not very attentive. But very pleasant nice people.

    We just came from there. The steak was phenomenal. The salad dressing was house made and very nice. The carrot cake was to die for!! We ate way too much and left fat and happy folks. Service started off slow but picked up.

    I ordered the Ribeye which was very tender and delicious. My wife ordered the filet. It was good but not as thick as traditional filet. Kids had ribs which were delicious and other son had kids steak which was very good according to my picky eater. Wait staff was friendly and and drinks refilled timely. Cook came out to ask how meal was. It wasn't very busy when we were there so maybe that is why all the extra attention. I would go back next time we are thru.

    I'm giving this place 5-stars for the OUTSTANDING hamburger I had here. They grind their own meat and the quality of the burger is SUPERB. The roll was good too. I don't remember much about the sides though. My Mom and I were staying next door at the Best Western and wanted to eat in our room since we had the dogs with us. The hostess was so helpful and accomodating in making sure we had everything we needed for our take-out meal. And since we weren't able to enjoy the peanuts in the actual steakhouse, we bought a HUGE bag for $3 and snacked on them for the drive back to New York. Great burger! Not one to miss...

    The food was of the unpackaged/canned kind with a HUGE markup. But I guess what do you expect in the middle of Nebraska? It was nice to sit down in a themed restaurant and get some hot foot. Service was friendly. The bathrooms across the parking lot are the cleanest public restrooms I've even seen in my life. I did have the best draft Blue Moon of my life here, though.

    My wife and I stayed at the adjacent Best Western and had dinner here. Both of us found the food to be very good. For a steakhouse they had a good selection of items, including seafood and vegetarian items as well. The waitress was friendly. Serving sizes were on the large side (good or bad I guess depending). The only slight ding, I felt their prices were a little high. Honestly high enough that it kept me from coming back a second night (I was spending the weekend in Ogalla). So four stars for great service and excellent food, one star ding for taking a little too much advantage of the I-80 and tourist traffic.

    Much better than expected! Food was really good: I'm a 'good hamburger' enthusiast, and they served me an extremely good hamburger for $9. Jalapenos and onions on the burger, too! It's also about 100 feet from my hotel room. They make some pretty strong Gin & Tonic, too. :) Only downside is that the service is a bit slow, but the staff were very friendly. They brought the drinks really fast, but the food took a while. No big deal--though it's probably not a good idea to come here expecting to order, eat, and pay in 10 minutes.

    I don't often rate places too poorly, and only do so when the mountain of evidence compels me to warn others away. Walking in to the place, it is poorly marked, leading the wife and I to try and negotiate from the bar area to the restaurant side. Once seated, the drinks came slowly. The wife ordered a Margarita, and it was very strongly a pre-made mix, certainly no triple sec, and we still haven't decided if there was any tequila in it at all (she switched to soda). The appetizer (Spinach & Artichoke dip) was also a bit long in reaching the table, and was problematic when it did ... I'm pretty sure the chips were stale before being dropped into the fryer, and nobody had bothered to chop up the Artichokes in the dip, rendering it mostly inedible. We both ordered steaks with a variety of sides. At $22 a plate, we expected good quality, particularly in an area which should "know it's cattle". I truly love a good steak, and appreciate beef in all of it's varied presentations, but all I can really say is that the cut was very low-grade. slightly gristly, lots of edge fat, without the flavor you'd get from good marbling. The sides were also non-spectacular, with her baked potato and my sweet potato mash the best on our plates respectively. So, the last and perhaps most unpleasant surprise with this most disappointing of meals came with the check; two steak dinners (low quality cuts), one appetizer, one margarita (possibly with tequila), one soda and two draft beers. $ 60 ? nope. $ 70 ? wrong again. $ 81. I would have figured being in cattle country that this imitation Texas-style steakhouse would have been good quality and decent value, but I was wrong on both counts. Apparently this establishment is firmly in some reviewers "visit again" list, but for my wife and I it is most decidedly in the "never again, no way" list. Which is sad, because I wanted to like it.

    We came here at about 11pm after settling in at the stagecoach inn next-door. we were super excited to try a saloon environment. Restaurant was closed, but bar was open. When we asked if the kitchen was open the manager told us it was not but that since the grill was still hot he could get us some burgers and fries! he did the same for another gentleman that had just come in before us. Bartender served us beers in frosted glasses and there was a DVD of a fleetwood mac concert playing to entertain us. Peanut shells on the floor gave that saloon feeling. The only reason I give four stars is because I wish the kitchen was open longer for more selection. While not gourmet, our personally cooked burgers hit the spot after a day of driving.

    Raw hamburger and patty melt... Blood coming out!! Hash browns were good. Paid $17.. Threw it away. Also when I arrived there was one table seated and a couple people playing pool. I told the hostess we had a carry out and she said "huh,,, you had a carry out?? I will have to check".. i thought i called it in to the wrong place !!!! Also they were out of the rye bread for patty melt and had to substitute Texas toast. I wish I had read the yahoo reviews first. They all said this place was terrible!!!! My husband called to complain. They put the cook on the phone. No manager on duty. Gordon Ramsey would burn this place to the ground and pee on the dust.

    This is one of those places that you stumble in to after a long day on the road when you don't want to venture any further than you have to from your hotel room. The good news is that it's decent. You'll be greeted with a bucket of peanuts that you can nibble on while perusing the big menu. You're supposed to throw the shells on the floor, but I just couldn't be tempted to make the mess. Plus, I didn't want to walk through them on the way out. Next you'll get a board of warm bread and butter. Love that. We also ordered the onion rings which were on special - although they were actually onion straws, they were delicious and hard to leave alone. I ordered some chicken tenders that came with "fiery" gravy, mashed potatoes and creamy corn. I asked for the gravy on the side because I didn't know if I'd like it. Truth was, those tenders and potatoes needed the gravy - they were rather flavorless on their own. The "gravy" was more like a Rotel tomatoes and cheese dip, but it was good. The real star, however, was that creamy corn. I don't know what the heck it was, but it was delicious. I could have had an entire plate of that (and all the calories I'm sure it entailed). Husband ordered a steak (when in Nebraska...) along with two gigantic sides of cole slaw and a loaded mashed potato. Everything here comes in huge portions. I thought we'd have to be rolled out of the joint. Not ideal for hitting the road, but if you can take leftovers home, you win.

    Decent food. The waitress was very nice but not too knowledge about food or specials. We both order a burger. We both enjoyed them and came to the table very hot. The sweet potatoes were delicious.

    food wise - nothing special... but the place itself - and oasis in a drive from San Francisco to Boston. My friend and I shared a steak and a baked potato - both were good.

    My friends had burgers and liked them, although one wanted no cheese and got it anyway. I had an apple and feta salad that was lame. Apples were cut too big with seeds still attached, and they forgot the walnuts. One bright spot was Nebraska beer - Cornstalker - very good.

    I head up through Ogallala for kiting down at Lake MacConaughy, and stopped by this place at the recommendation of a friend. As you enter, the left door heads into the restaurant, the right door heads into the saloon/bar. The place has a good feel to it, not a whole lot of commercial glitz to it at all. This could partly be inspired by the piles of peanut shells on the floor. That has got to be one of the coolest features to the golden spur. There's a gigantic bin of peanuts in the front while you wait for a table, and you simply toss your peanut remains on the floor. They have mini buckets at each table as well. It's fun to look around and see the small mountains beside each table. The food was solid fare. Out in this part of the country, cattle is king - and why shouldn't it be? Two guys shared a brisket and rib platter, another guy had the bacon wrapped fillet mignon, and I had a full rack of ribs. I hadn't had lunch that day and I was feeling particularly famished. Wow. The portions here are big. I was stuffed by the time I finished. The beer selection is minimal but they do have Fat Tire on tap, and that's what counts. Most likely stopping by again on my next trip up.

    I don't remember the food terribly well. I generally cringe when I eat at places like this because it's sometimes complicated to find something to order that doesn't contain meat. I actually liked the place, though, so I was either surprised by a meatless option or I didn't have to send back the salad because it contained bacon bits. Probably a two-star situation in all honesty, but how can you not love this place? OK, I can see how you might not love it, but you were a child at one point, right? You you must have fantasized about walking down a wooden sidewalk into an old-timey saloon. Anyone?

    Average food, but highly overpriced, especially for the area. A restaurant in Nebraska should not have Southern California prices. Service was ok at best.

    Was fortunate to have given this place a try while staying next door. This is a quaint steak house with country music playing and peanut shells on the floor. I had the NY strip steak, potato salad and cole slaw. Although I didn't care for the cole slaw very much, I found the potato salad to be pretty good and the steak was great and perfectly cooked. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place was, and would certainly return if I were back in the area.

    The menu on their web site today was not the one we had gven to us at the restaurant. The new menu was different and more expensive. We agree with other yelpers that the prices are quite high for the mid-west.. My food was not prepared as requested, well done not medium rare. The Burger my husband ordered made him sick and was very expensive. $13.00 We know many better places to eat in Nebraska and Iowa, this was a big disappointment.

    Golden Spur is located alongside I-80 and therefore one would expect it to be a tourist joint. Tourists are certainly found there with a motel on either side of the restaurant, but it is full of locals as well. Peanut shells on the floor, country music on every TV screen. Saloon to one side, dining room on the other. My wife had a steak and reported it cooked just the way it was ordered. Her steak was tender. Fresh broccoli on the side properly cooked. I ordered the "fajita skillet," not quite sure what that would turn out to be. A HEAPING pile of sauteed chicken, peppers and onions, served over a pile of rice and pinto beans spiced with jalapeno and cumin. Tortillas, shredded cheese, guacamole, lettuce and tomato on the side. More than I could eat in two days, let alone one meal. They serve freshly baked loaves of rye bread with dill seed. VERY good bread, indeed. My wife tried a glass of Red Truck cabernet - new to her and reported very good. We were too full to try desserts. We would defnitely go back.

    We showed up at the Golden Spur after the Steakhouse was closed for the evening so our experience is only limited to the Saloon, which had a large late evening menu. This place is about what you'd expect in terms of ambiance, country music and peanuts on the floor. There was a decent beer selection with some local brews. (Though "Bud Lite Lime" shouldn't be considered a microbrew.) Good appetizers. My wife loved her steak. The waitstaff were friendly and helpful. What more could you ask for?

    This place was recommended by a friend who grew up in Ogallala. This place was good for being right off of the interstate. I got the rib-eye and it was cooked perfectly. The price was reasonable and the steak was good.
