The blonde guy looks like a low budget Gordon Ramsay

It’s definitely nothing flashy. Just a nice simple spot to grab a bite to eat. We actually got to interview the owner and he had some crazy stories to tell.

The owner changed my moms flat tire for her when she had dinner there! Really down to earth people

One of the few Omaha steak houses left when there used to be a dozen or more notable ones. Ate there in December and the food was very good and the potions large. Filled me up. The lot is always mostly full whenever I drive past in the evening.

If you bought 1 share of Berkshire Hathaway in 1980 it would cost $300. Today that 1 share would be worth $255, 555.

This looks like a very average steakhouse lmao

My parents had their first dinner date at Gorats back in 1972. They used to take my sister and me there for special occasions.

Huh. And here I was thinking rich people only ate diamond crusted baby whale wrapped in a one million dollar bill with golden unicorn blood drizzled on top. I guess they're normal people after all.

I live in Omaha, I actually lived a block away from Gorats Steakhouse. What people are forgetting is Warren enjoys a Traditional place he attended over the years that brings comfort and happiness as well as great steaks. They have a kitchen in the lower level where they butcher there own meat, that is so sanitized and clean, ya wouldn’t believe it. Also Omaha has the best tasting steaks than other states. In my opinion the grass fed or rice fed cows, that to me is just horrible tasting. So Berkshire Hathaway has been a tradition every year at Gorats! I understand Warren Buffets choice.

They never reviewed the food. A friend of mine and I ate there 2 years ago. Worst steak experience of my life. The meat was chewy and poorly grilled. The mashed potatoes were cold. The gravy for the potatoes was so cool it never leveled out in the bowl and the glazed carrots looked and tasted like their mound shape was maintained with enough cornstarch to hang a picture on the wall. By far a "never eat there" recommendation. As well, let it be know, Warren Buffet is a brilliant, brilliant investor whose life story I love reading about but he's no food connoisseur.

Billionaires are still normal people in the end who are satisfied with the regular things in life. Trump doesnt always dine fancy, loves his McD

Lol this is the saltiest comment section I've ever seen.

I ate at Gorat's back in 2010. The steak I had was a good piece of meat, nicely seasoned, and cooked properly. On the other hand, the side dishes were lackluster. The green beans tasted like they were canned, rather than fresh.

Now, I believe that Gorat's changed hands about 5 years ago, and the menu got overhauled. So, I suspect that things have improved.

Now, as to why Warren eats like a 6-year old. He studied actuarial tables and learned that 6-year olds have the longest life expectancy. So, he eats like one.

I like the fact that Warren has his own small enclosed dining space. Outstanding 😎 One thing I've read and seen in documentaries, is that Warren doesnt eat salads or vegetables...hmmm, interesting 😊
