What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Amerisports Bar offers a fantastic atmosphere for sports fans with numerous TVs and good food, particularly the wings and pizza. While many praise the delicious dishes and attentive service, some diners have experienced issues with slow or forgetful service and inconsistently seasoned food, especially steaks.
"Great sports bar! Good place for someone traveling alone or a group of friends. No shortage of seating with a perfect view of multiple screens from every seat. Watch the brick oven pizzas being made while keeping up with your team. The pizza isn't a thick or thin crust, in the middle, with a nice crunch. Homemade chili, not too salty & no noodles! Plus, it comes with the sour cream, cheese, & onions, no charge. We didn't get a picture of the delicious wings before they were all gone!Friendly staff each time we've been here. They are just the right mix of attentive but not annoying. We will continue to stop in when we stay at the Ameristar in Omaha. Highly recommend."

"Atmosphere laid back on a Monday night ,service ok-ish. Almost every single table was dirty or had dirty dishes on them so we sat at the bar...food top tier ..wasn't expecting the wings to be FIRE !!! 10/10 on the wings ...spinach dip trash !!! Plenty of t.v's to watch any game that is being televised."

"Food/Atmosphere is solid just no prompt service whatsoever. It took forever to get drinks and lack of follow up. I had two times where they either forget or had to be reminded. Confusing who was servicing us. Had three different people helping and no apologies from any of them. I had to ask to get drinks which is never good service."
