The Drover Whiskey Rib Eye Price

The Drover's legendary Whiskey Rib Eye is a 14-ounce steak celebrated for its secret whiskey-based marinade. Whiskey Rib Eye reviews consistently praise the steak for being done to perfection, with a unique "boozy umami element" from the marinade that is balanced enough to please both whiskey enthusiasts and those who are not fans of the drink. This iconic entree is priced between $37.95 and $44.95 on The Drover’s menu.

The steak's distinctive flavor comes from the special marinade, the recipe for which remains a closely guarded secret. The process involves soaking the 14-ounce rib eye in this mixture, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat deeply before the steak is grilled over an open flame. All dinners are served as a complete meal, including warm wheat bread, a choice of soup or salad, and a side such as a baked potato, French fries, or asparagus.

The Whiskey Rib Eye offers a unique, marinated steak experience that sets it apart from the classic, dry-aged steaks found at other premier Omaha steakhouses like Gorat's Steak House. The Drover's steak is defined by its signature sweet and savory marinade, while Gorat's focuses on the pure, beef-forward flavor that comes from traditional aging and simple seasoning.

First opened as a franchise in 1968 by Bob Anderson, The Drover has been a family-owned Omaha landmark for decades, now co-owned by Anderson's daughters, Amy Leise and Wendy Anderson. The restaurant maintains its timeless, ranch-style decor with dark wood beams and brick walls, creating a moody, rustic charm. This "come as you are" fine-dining establishment prides itself on being a scratch-made kitchen, a philosophy that extends from the famous whiskey marinade to its sauces and dressings. The owners' deep commitment to the community was shown after a devastating fire in 2018 and the subsequent pandemic, during which every employee continued to receive a full paycheck.
