There’s nothing better than a truly great meal…except, maybe, for a great meal with an exceptional view. Head out to Blair, just outside of Omaha, for some of the best steak you’ll ever taste and one of the best views around.

Driftwood Inn in Blair has a loyal following of customers who keep coming back for the incredible food and hometown atmosphere.

It’s located right on the Missouri River, providing a uniquely lovely view of the water as you dine.

In nicer weather you can sit outside to eat; the rest of the year, you’ll enjoy the homey, small-town feel of the dining room.

But more than anything, the food is what inspires people to keep coming back. The Driftwood’s steaks are widely lauded as the best in the area.

In fact, several reviewers have gone so far as to call these steaks the best in the country. We’ll let you decide that for yourself - but we promise you won’t leave hungry.

There are plenty of other treats on the menu, too. Doesn’t this cheesy seafood pasta look divine? The seafood receives almost as much love from customers as the steaks do.

Even the sides are delicious. Perfectly seasoned fries, delicately steamed veggies, and crispy hash browns are among the favorites.

The surroundings are undeniably beautiful. There’s something about dining near the water that’s so peaceful and invigorates the appetite, don’t you think?
