Johnny's Cafe - Omaha

It is such a wonderful pleasure to come here for dinner when I come visit my hometown of Omaha. I come here not only for sentimental reasons but for their aged steaks that are THE BEST I 've had anywhere . Everything about our dinner tonight wasexceptional. Congratulations to the Kawa family for 100 years and wishing them all the best in the years to come. They havestood the test of time and it 's so nice to see Johnny 's Cafe is still going strong. My husband had the Porterhouse and I hadthe amazing New York Strip. Both were cooked perfectly to order. Their crisp onion rings have a lovely , light coating thatmelts in your mouth. The Cowboy Mashed potatoes were so flavorful, I found myself scraping the dish remnants out with a pieceof steak! The Salted Chocolate Caramel Decadence dessert lived up to it 's name. Just the right size, with an "oh so delicious "rich cocoa taste that 's not super sweet like the best fudge you 've ever had. Our server, Elizabeth, was attentive, friendly andhad a wonderful attitude. We hope to see her again here on our next visit to Johnny 's .

I had a good time here. Super friendly staff I expected going to the place with this kind of tradition. Drinks were good, steak was ok a little undercooked and under seasoned for my liking but I added some salt and pepper and was good to go. Serving sizeswe're great especially given the price. All in all I was glad I went

I'll be honest: this is only the second time I have been to Johnny's. To give you an idea of how long it has been since the first time, Google wasn't even a company. It might have been timing, etc, but we got right in, and we're seated at a nicetable. Our waitress was very pleasant and kept on top of our needs despite having a very large party to take care of. I had theribeye, and my wife had the prime rib. We both opted for salad and mashed potatoes for our sides. The meat was cooked almostperfectly per our requests. The prime rib was not over flavored, like you can find at some places. My steak was good, as a pieceof beef should be. Steak sauce is available if you want to flavor. The entire meal (2 teas, entrée, and one desert) was about$80, which we do about once every three months and was worth the experience we received. I do recommend going there andenjoying a nicely prepared dinner in a beautiful setting. (This review was NOT sponsored, and all my opinion)

Only 2 stars because service was excellent. Service was 5 stars. Everything else was 1 star. The potatoes were instant, the chicken fried steak was dry and didn't come with gravy. It was so tough and dry I could barely eat it. Expected better for theprice. For 25 dollars a plate, you'd think they could cook what they have on the menu properly.

Server was super. Food was delicious. First time here that the steak hasn't been so dry it was hard to eat. Had the Geronimo, rare... cooked perfectly. Tender, juicy, flavorful. Will be back for this one!
