Customer Review Summary

Misty's Steakhouse and Brewery has received mixed reviews from patrons. On the positive side, many guests enjoyed the lobster bisque and noted the exceptional quality of certain dishes like the prime rib and scallops, praising their flavor and preparation. However, there are significant complaints regarding slow service, food quality, and inconsistency. Several diners reported undercooked or poorly executed dishes, such as cold wings and dry salmon. Service was often described as amateurish, with servers failing to check on meals or respond appropriately to complaints, leading to dissatisfaction among customers. A recurring theme is the disparity between the high price point and the perceived quality of the food, causing some to question the restaurant's longstanding reputation. Overall, while there are highlights in food, the service and recent experiences have left many customers disappointed and unlikely to return.

I had the lobster bisque (excellent) and the steak of the day, which was (I forget the exact name) a Rib Steak with rosemary infused butter? It was melt in your mouth tender and one of the most flavourful steaks I’ve had. Unbelievable! Such a unique and enjoyable dinner with service to match the meal. I would have to recommend this be a regular menu item so others have the opportunity to enjoy it. It was that good!

Came here to celebrate my brother and father’s birthdays. The place was busy at 5:30 for a lied center event. We had a reservation and our table was ready but we had to ask for menus. Service took forever and we had to request refills of water after waiting with empty glasses. Crab cakes were underdone and mush. Soup and salad were decent. Steaks were unimpressive. Overall the food quality compared to the price point is abysmal though. Service was so slow and server did not once proactively check on our food quality or if we needed anything. This was my third visit in 1.5 years (family or work events) and I’ve been seriously disappointed every time. Misty’s seems to continue going based on a reputation that no longer exists. It’s been years since I had a high quality meal here.

We had a party of nine and we had a show to attend at 7:30. Our reservations were at 5:30 and yet we barely made it to the show. Our table was positioned in the middle of the room surrounded by empty tables, and yet we rarely received attention. Tables that arrived after us got their meals before we did. Drinks were forgotten or made incorrectly. (Who puts a lime on a martini?) My wings were cold, soggy, and they did not bring the dipping sauce that was meant to come with them. A party member ordered a salad and received a burger instead. My wife's salmon was dry. When a member of our party brought these issues to the attention of the manager, she was met with a defensive attitude and nothing but excuses. Our server was very kind and was working hard. I do not at all blame her. The back of the menu says "a Lincoln staple since 1963." It's a wonder Misty's has lasted that long.

Although our table of seven felt that the food was mediocre at best, the prices were equal to a top tier steakhouse which it certainly is not. Service was amateurish, and the facility itself is badly worn and lacked cleanliness. We certainly won’t return.

We went after the game…. Our party was all seated by 6:50. We ordered drinks and then a bit later dinner. Tables all around us that were seated AFTER our group received their dinner and left before our food ever arrived. A nearby table served three different groups and still no dinner for us Talked to the manager and she said she would check. When food arrived it was cold. We finally ordered our own drinks from the bar…. Have been going here on game day for 20 years and this was the worst ever😩😩😩🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Great place with amazing food. I was recommended here for the prime rib, and my god does it deliver. The service is good, atmosphere is nice but the food is phenomenal. I started with the lobster bisque which had nice big tender chunks of lobster in it, and the sherry cream broth was packed full of flavor. I ordered the king cut prime rib surf n turf with scallops and asparagus. The prime rib was cooked PERFECTLY and was so juicy and tender. The au jus was a perfect complement to the beefy tender prime rib. I was more caught off guard with the scallops, they were large, fresh, seasoned beautifully and had the perfect sear on them. Did not expect such good seafood dishes in Nebraska. The asparagus had a nice blister from the grill and delicious as well. If you want good prime rib this is definitely the spot, but don’t sleep in their seafood dishes either. Delicious.

Awesome experience. The food was outstanding. Our server, Joe, was so friendly and attentive. I can't wait until next year when we travel Nebraska again. We will definitely be having dinner at Mistys again. First time I ever had lobster bisque. It was outstanding! 🦞

We arrived Friday night at 9:30 and thought it would be fine arriving this late. I was celebrating my 30th anniversary and my husband had to work late, so couldn’t get there sooner. Waitress was super nice and I apologize for coming in so late. I ordered the filet mignon, which I already knew that’s what I was going to order before I even got there and my husband ordered the Queen cut prime rib. They emphasize in the menu that their prime rib is their specialty. When our food arrived we were very disappointed. The prime rib was very small and not Queen cut. (We have eaten at Misty’s numerous times for over 30 years) My filet was well done and tasted like leather. I ordered it medium. When the waitress finally came back to ask us how everything was I let her know that my steak was well done. She said well I don’t know what to tell you because the kitchen is closed now, I’m like oh OK…? No solutions and no apology! I said you can’t charge me for a steak that was not cooked correctly then. She said yeah I’ll take it off your bill and grabbed my steak and left. She made me feel like it was all my fault because I came in to late, so what did you expect. We have had issues the last few times that we have been to both locations and thought we would give them one more try. I had to leave hungry and didn’t get my steak that I was looking forward too!! I asked for creamy horseradish, it was ranch dressing with no horseradish in it and very runny. Very disappointing! There food is too pricey for the quality. We will not be back. 🙁
