Open Range Grill

"Des banquettes de bois et des hamburgers"

"We're passing through. I guess no one eats lunch at 2:00pm in Ogalalla? We stopped at three restaurants and no one was in the parking lot. We ended up stopping at this place. Again, no cars in the parking lot. This restaurant has signs that say they are a family-owned fast food restaurant. You go in and order at the counter/bar, pay, and find yourself a table. They bring your food out. When you're done, you clean up after yourselves and place your dishes at the designated area. I won't get into the tip debate for a place like this, but we did tip. I got the Buckin' Burrito and the husband got the Patty Melt. They have a nice variety of food. The young ladies were courteous. Food smelled and looked great. Husband had no complaints about the Patty Melt, however, my burrito wasn't that great. Real quick - the burrito was a lot smaller than I imagined considering all the ingredients it contains. It made for a delicious tasting burrito, but the steak meat was tough and chewy and many pieces were the fatty parts. Definitely not the greatest part of the cow is used. It would probably help if they thinly sliced the beef instead of cutting them into cubes. Also, I've never had a burrito with fries. Some tortilla chips with a small side of salsa would be a better pairing. Just my recommendation. Otherwise, it would have been a great burrito. I would give this restaurant a second try if we were in town again, but maybe order something different."

"We stopped at Open Range for lunch break on our way to Chimney Rock. And that was the best decision. The price is good and the food is amazing"

"So just want to say that we really love coming here. We have been since they opened years ago. The reason it's a 4 star is that I have noticed that they are in the grasp of increasing prices, but decreasing food quality. They used to brag (rightfully so) that they had beef from a farm in Keith County. I think that has changed as they don't mention it at all anymore, and the patties now seem preformed and uniform. But the saddest thing has been the fries. They used to be peel on, fresh and amazing. Now they are obviously just frozen, fried and nowhere near as good as they used to be. Same with the appetizers. I know times are tough for restaurants, and that is why I know open range is trying. But I just wish they could bring back some of the quality and feel of what they were a few years ago. We will be back, and totally recommend as it's one of the best places in town still, but just can't get to 5 stars again for now."

"A great place to stop for lunch on our way north to South Dakota. Rustic atmosphere and friendly service. Appears to be a fairly new establishment. You order at the counter and food is brought to you. My chicken wrap was good, not great - could have used more "stuff" inside - jalapenos, pickles, etc. But it was tasty. My wife loved her large salad. They also have games for the kids. Good stop."

"Food is delicious. They don't advertise GF buns but they did have GF burger buns and they are the best I've had. The burgers are also amazing. Would have liked a waitress style serving rather than order and sit down but the staff was great and it could've been just a short staffed issue."

"Absolutely PHENOMENAL food, with great prices and very fast service! Had the Prairie Fire burger with fries, an order of Bull Fries and The Blue Northern burger. FANTASTIC! So glad we made the stop on our way to Cowdrey for our Mountain Lion hunt!"
