Excellent steak, good cocktails, exceptional service. We loved the corn bread, egg rolls, and dirty rice too!

Had an amazing meal at single barrel! Went in for a quick bite at the bar with my dad before the husker basketball game. Barb greeted us immediately with waters as we sat down. The general manager, Sara, checked on us to see how our experience was and was even the one to bring us our food. Very attentive staff. Food was also delicious!

Awesome service, great drinks, and friendly bartenders! My wife and I had a great experience with Sara, and Eli was incredible!! He was attentive, welcoming, and was super knowledgeable about the drink and food menu, as well as giving us great advice about things to do and see in the immediate area!! 10/10, we will be back soon!!

Was very disappointed!! Dinner was served, unfortunately my meal was cold, the steak and the rice! Our meals were obviously served together, but they took my plate back to the kitchen while my husband continued to eat his meal! Got fresh hot rice and the same steak served that had been out back on the grill, which was what I was expecting, but it can back out dry!! NO discount on our final bill nor an apology! Very disappointing! We were planning to go back for the tomahawk, we won’t be! They’ve just lost over $200 k more from us!!

Took awhile but we found a steak in the Haymaker District so had to go! We didn't know at the time that Single Barrel was in a hotel so perhaps had too high of expectations. Hotel restaurants can be hit or miss and the food at Single Barrel was just off target a bit. We sat in the bar and service was attentive but dare I say a bit too cocky? The first taste of that was after we sipped our Manhattan's a couple times and were asked how they tasted. We said they were wonderful and we got "Of course they are, I made them". That's the tone that was kept throughout our meal! A little off putting but attentive! The food took forever! We thought at one point they perhaps lost our order but then the microwaved chicken dip and stale chips finally came! An eternity later our steak and salmon arrived. Steak was very unevenly cooked and lukewarm, wouldn't even melt the butter! The shrimp skewer was cold, the salmon was undercooked and barely room temp and the parsnip puree was not even one bites worth! Not a spot we'll return to unless we need a good Manhattan while passing by!
