Gorat's Steak House

The overview

Steaks worth a billionaire's loyalty

Gorat's Steak House has been an Omaha supper-club institution since Louis and Nettie Gorat opened it in 1944. Corn-fed steaks, chicken parmigiana, and stiff drinks come in a dim, red-boothed room — and it's famously the favorite of Omaha's own Warren Buffett, who orders the T-bone rare with a double order of hash browns.

Old-school and proudly unchanged, Gorat's is the classic Nebraska steakhouse: the place where the Berkshire Hathaway crowd and generations of locals alike have marked the big nights out.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Gorat's Steak House cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
