Anyone know what going on at Anthony's? Â It looks like they have torn down the northern 1/3 of the building?

Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
Rumor has it Anthony's is again up for a huge renovation...
Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
Wonder what part?
We had our wedding reception there and the party room side is really nice. Wonder if the are going to do something to the dining room?

They have a great party room. Hope they don't tear up the restaurant. They could use some sound engineering. uncomfortably loud near the entrance when the Ozone is going and in the party room when bands are playing.

I hear it will be the Dining Room that will be getting a $300k facelift.
Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
Funny story... As I mentioned earlier in the thread, we had our Wedding Reception at Anthony's. My wife waned them to remove the steer for the reception and I was the complete opposite, I wanted to get the wedding party up on the roof to pose with it. Anthony's said no to both. Still a great venue for the reception.

I have been to a wedding and several Madonna school fund raisers. Anthony's knocks it out of the park for these kind of receptions.Brad wrote:Funny story...

Every time a post pops up on a traditional Omaha Italian Steakhouse thread, I'm always afraid it's a notification it's going to close..
Thankfully, this is not the case...

I heard Anthony's is closing and the owner is retiring. Anyone heard anything to confirm?

True. Dining room closing February 26, banquet room staying open through May to honor already booked events.

Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
I was in there several months ago. They had revamped their menu. Service was dramatically improved from previous visits and the food was excellent. It's a bummer they're closing.
Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
Any speculation on who will acquire the land? Too big for a Club or Rocket Car Wash, and there is a Casey's a few blocks North.

Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
It is sad to hear..
There are only a handful of the old, traditional Omaha Italian Steakhouses left. In fact, the only one left that comes to mind to me now is Cascio’s.. Maybe some of you can help name any others still open..
It’s too bad to see this original piece of the Omaha “foodie” scene slowly go the way of the dinosaur…

I would suggest that Johhny's by the old stockyards area fits the mold of old school at least.Omaha Cowboy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 9:56 am It is sad to hear..

Jericos and BrotherSebastians are close. Anthony’s never struck me the same asCascios and the various Caniglia family places did. Closer to Jerico’s.

I guess the only remaining old school Omaha Italian Steakhouses left are Cascio’s and Johnny’s (in South O, not the Johnny’s at Village Pointe..
Sad indeed…

Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
I would include Gorat's personally. But certainly there aren't many left.
Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
For me Anthony's absolutely belongs in the old school group. I have always kind of referred to that group as Italian Steakhouses. They are ones that have been around for decades, and menu is a mix of steaks, seafood and italian. You also get some sort of side pasta with your meal, usually spaghetti or mostaccioli. Anthony's was in the heart of hit back in the hey day. 72nd had multiple because of Ak Sar Ben.
I was a busboy at one in the early 80's called Kenny's that was at 72nd and Dodge (where Do Space is now). It was there from the 50's until Borders bought the land near 2000. The ones on 72nd took a massive hit when Ak Sar Been went into decline.

Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
Unfortunately, a lot of them didn't change with the times. Stale menus and bad locations. All in the hopes that people would keep going there out of habit and nostalgia. Still, it's sad to see them go.

Kenny’s was a chicken joint back when fried chicken was a treat on days other than Sunday. They served steaks as well, but they were more like Rose’s Lodge.
Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
No they weren't. They did have a couple options for chicken on their menu but they focused more on a variety of steaks (including prime rib), multiple seafood options, and several Italian plates. They also had really good ribs. I worked there for 4 years. My mom was also a hostess part time for a while there. One of my older brothers worked there before me too (we lived close by, off 68th and Dodge). Kenny's was most definitely more of a steak house similar to Ross and Venice Inn that were close by.bigredmed1 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 1:36 pm Kenny’s was a chicken joint back when fried chicken was a treat on days other than Sunday.

Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
No, Kenny’s was not a chicken joint.. It was basically general American plates as Greg stated.. When I worked in the area in the 1980’s, I used to get their beef tips with rice special for lunch quite a bit. Kenny’s always had consistent, good food- at a good price..Yet another place I miss from back in the day…Greg S wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 1:51 pmNo they weren't.

Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
Looks like the steer statue sold for $45,000 to some place called T-Bone Truck Stop. I'm certainly no expert on such things, but I have to think they could commission their own steer statue for less than that. Any historic value will be mostly lost if they paint over "Anthony's" with "T-Bone Truck Stop."
Re: Anthony's Steakhouse / OZONE (72nd & F)
The T-Bone Truck Stop is in Columbus, NE. The owner said he bought the bull so it wouldn’t go out of state.ChadJK wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 1:19 pm Looks like the steer statue sold for $45,000 to some place called T-Bone Truck Stop.

I’m not sure if painting over the name would affect things as much as you think. For a lot of people, the importance is the thing itself, and many have been moved at one time or another. You can see a number of them at Roadside America.
