Ellis County Fairgrounds
The restaurant name is derived from the protective coats worn by those who rode in the open air automobiles of the early 1900's. The main dining area features an open air kitchen along with a distinctive mural that depicts 200 years of Platte county history, from horses to trains, and eventually the automobile.

Enjoy a casual and relaxing meal any day of the week in either our main dining area or the fireside room. The unique design of the brew pub reflects the area's agricultural background with tractor seat bar stools and a grain bin ceiling. Open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. Enjoy the same menus offered in the main dining areas, along with one of our hand-crafted brews or sodas.

If you order anything beside prime rib or a sandwich it is over cooked. You can see the cook they put the food on the grill and over cook it till it's jerky. Especially the fish

Amazing place. Clean. Great food. Clean and large bathrooms. Nice staff. Have early bird specials that are definitely worth ordering. Great soups. My husband liked the beer and the house wine was nice. Chips and salsa was basic but homemade salsa was good.

We had a multi-day conference here, and the atmosphere was really good. The staff were very friendly and the food was great. The high quality beer that they had on tap was an excellent addition to our evening activities. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good meal, and/or a space to hold their next event in the Columbus area!

Nice place, but the food wasn't the greatest. Ordered buffalo burger and got a once frozen overcooked burger. I can't say it was even Buffalo with how it was done. A smaller menu options might help perfect dishes on the menu. In our experience don't order buffalo burger or cup and half, and avoid the chicken wrap.

Food was awesome and Jade our waitress was number 1 waitress in many experiences we have had dining out. She's a very good waitress.

Service was great, food was OK. My ribeye seemed like it was frozen, thawed, then cooked (asked for medium rare and it was well done), but it was just kind of OK but for the money, expected it to be as good as or better than my ribeyes I do at home. Biggest complaint is that it was so extremely hot in there, like 80+ degrees which was unbearable; the servers were even complaining on how hot it was. Overall, I will give this place a chance again as maybe it was just an off night (especially for the AC) but the service was what made it worthwhile.

This place was amazing for a nice restaurant in the Columbus. We were in town for my daughter's softball game and my husband found this place. I'm not sure if they serve the prime rib all week long because we were only there on the weekend. The restaurant was much nicer than what we were expecting. The food and services was great. I will not make a special trip for this place, but if you are in Columbus it is definitely worth stopping by for dinner.

Dusters / Gottberg Brew Pub. I have been here a few times for lunch when visiting the area. So far everything I’ve tried has been very good, but the Gottberg Reuben was the best.
