North Platte, Neb. - North Platte welcomes Nebraska's Rib & Chop House as the newest addition to District 177. Community members braved the cold and made the trip over to the chop house Monday morning for the official ribbon cutting ceremony.
"It's just wonderful, all of North Platte is such a warm and welcoming community," said Levi Ben-Israel, General Manager of Nebraska's Rib & Chop House. "The people who came out for the ribbon cutting, were all very excited and I can't be thankful enough for the North Platte community."
The Rib & Chop House was founded in 2001 in Bozeman, Montana by Burke and Melissa Moran and currently operates 14 locations in the United States. North Platte marks the company's first location in Nebraska. Other states to have a Rib & Chop House include Montana (5 locations), Wyoming (5 locations), Colorado (1 location), Utah (1 location) and Idaho (1 location). Livingston, Montana is where the first location opened around 20 years ago.
The chop house offers a delicious brunch, lunch, dinner and specials for everyone to enjoy. From a variety of different cuts of steaks, to delicious burgers and so much more. If you would like to check out their full menu, click here.
The tale of how North Platte even got a location was thanks to a few community members visiting the Cheyenne location and a t-shirt caught the eye of a district operator.
"One of our locations in Cheyenne, there were a couple of community members from North Platte, the owner of the Western Nebraska Bank was with some of their friends and one of our district operators saw a t-shirt that they commented on, and the group said we should bring one of these restaurants to North Platte," said Ben-Israel. "That's when we started to research the area and decided to bring it here."
The chop house is open 7 days a week from 11:00am - 10:00pm and is located at 1017 S. Dewey St., Suite 103.
"Thank you to the entire North Platte community for such a warm welcome and we can't wait to see your smiling face in here," said Ben-Israel.
