The Most Flavorful Burgers in Omaha

Country Cafe by Trex - Fillmore

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"This place was really nice! The staff was welcoming, friendly, and positive. The store was clean and spacious, and had a lot of neat things to browse + buy. The food was good too! Clean bathrooms. Easy on and off the interstate access. Not sure if we'll ever pass by here again or not, but if so then we'll definitely stop in again! Highly recommended."

Omaha Tap House - Pepperwood

★★★★☆ 3.9 (234) • $$

"I'm convinced that Omaha Tap House has the best salad in Omaha! The fajita steak salad is so delicious, I get it every time and it never disappoints. I love all their appetizer options, including the cheese curds (they are massive!). I recommend this place for newbies in Omaha, you won't be disappointed!"

Doozies

★★★★☆ 4.4 (59) • $$

"Stopped in for lunch today after reading positive Yelp reviews! What a great place for a burger and shake! Service was fast and friendly. Restrooms were spotlessly clean. What an unexpected treat on our roadtrip north on I-29! We'll definitely be back!"

804 Main Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (42)

"804 Main has great hamburgers. Food is good as well as great drinks from the bar. Food is prompt and service is friendly. They make you feel welcomed."

LeadBelly

★★★★☆ 4.2 (643) • $$

"Hello Beautiful People, I'm sorry, couldn't wait to eat this delicious foods from Lead Belly hence no photos.Back to Lead Belly!!! I went here on a Sunday night at 6pm for a pick up order. The place was bustling when I walked in. Fun atmosphere with great music. All the staff were friendly.DJ was the phone order person who made us feel very taken care of. Service with such a big smile and heart. I appreciate that he let us know about the doggy menu. I ordered the Curry Chicken Soup, Shrimp Salad, multiple sides; chips and salsa, steamed broc' and hummus with veggies. Last but not least, broc', brown rice and ground beef for the baby dog. Oh my Ghandi, SO GOOD!!!I would come back here again and again and again and again."

Runza

★★★★★ 4.5 (23) • $

"Who doesn't move away and come back to Runza for their first meal? This particular location has THE BEST Swiss Mushroom burgers! Frings are something Nebraskans are in know about. Super friendly drive through employees every time!"

Sonic

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"It took me several months to visit the new Sonic because I was angry that they moved further away from me. I finally got over it and decided to try the new location today for lunch. I'm glad I did. Side note, I'm surprised I'm the first to review this new location. If you are south of Adams, go north on 84th St, and you'll see Sonic on the right side from 84th St. Turn right on Market St. My impression of the new location is it looks more modern. I am indifferent about the new appearance, but it does look very clean because it's new. Hopefully the staff keeps it that way. I ordered ahead of time with the app. All I had to do was check in when I pulled in a stall. I was happy to see that the Sonic Smashers are still available. They are even better than the original Sonic cheeseburgers. I ordered the tater tots as my side, and they are even better. I don't know if that's because of the new equipment, but they are a bit softer and a bit bigger. I still want Sonic to season to their tots. Amigos, Taco Johns, and Taco Inn all have an advantage over Sonic simply because they season their tots. As for the service, I didn't have to wait very long for my food after checking in. It seems like the new location has a good start. I hope they keep up the good work."

Salty's Lodge

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"Stopped in for dinner last Saturday and ended up returning on Sunday because the food, service and atmosphere was just that good! There is something for everyone at Salty's. We enjoyed the games, music and the big screen too. I highly recommend ordering the wings, Ahi, strawberry salad and definitely the Rib Eye (not pictured). Excellent addition to O St. We're looking forward to drinks on the patio."

Hi-Way Diner

★★★★☆ 4 (115) • $

"Stopped for lunch on our way through Lincoln. Wanted lunch fare in a quick restaurant style way. This was perfect. You order at the counter, find your table, then your meal is delivered to your table. We wanted a soup salad or soup half sandwich type lunch. They didn't have that on the menu, instead we ordered a full club sandwich with a cup of soup on the side plus an extra cup of soup, Wah-lah soup and half a sandwich for two. Sandwich was good. Lots of turkey, crispy bacon, fresh veggies. Soup was good as well, curly egg noodles and chicken. Refillable fountain soda as well so we got one for the road. Loved the old time coolers, ovens, toys, etc that they had all around. Fun retro-vibe spot."

Brave’s Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (9)

"What a fun place! Hwy 14 and Braves kitchen is right on the edge of Columbus, with great drinks and food! We did a flight with a variety of the Hwy 14 beers. I really liked the Triple Action Mango IPA! For food we did a few appetizers, the ravioli and cheese balls. The cheese balls were probably the best I've ever had! The ravioli was also great. If you are around the area, check this place out! They have a sweet staff and a great patio when the weather is nice. It was really busy when we went so service was a little slower than we would have liked but with being new that is expected! I think this place has so much potential, can't wait to come back!"

Block 16

★★★★★ 4.5 • $$

"I can say with 100% confidence that Block 16 is my favorite restaurant in Omaha. I CRAVE the poutine burrito and crab rangoon fries. I struggle to try new things there because I love that dang burrito so much!Everything else I have had there has been fantastic, i've never been disappointed by them. The specials are always fun and unique. The staff is always helpful and kind. Everyone puts their heart and soul into this place and it shows. I will always recommend Block 16 to anyone!!"

Griffey's Steakhouse & Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.4 (7) • $$

"Stopped in for a quick lunch. Service was super fast. Hamburgers were absolutely excellent! This place is definitely a hidden gem in Fairbury! Highly recommend!!"

Bern Cafe and Catering

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"What better way to grab breakfast or lunch in the a small town of Bern. Charlie and Jake have really outdone themselves and this small town community was waiting for the good food that they provide. The menu is big with just about any option you would want for breakfast and lunch. Come in for a cup of coffee and a homemade cinnamon roll or Jerk Pork Tenderloin sandwich (which is quite amazing might I add)"

White Oak Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8)

"This place is awesome. The food was great, the people wonderful. For a small local restaurant they had the best steaks. Ribeye was said to be 14-16 oz, well I can say the we're much heavier than that and melted in your mouth. We did carry out for a large group and they got it perfect. Also it was nice to see them in church the next day."

The Loading Chute

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"Very good food. The chute fries are great. Between a potato chip and a french fry.Had a smash burger and was delicious.Arrive early because it gets busy."

Lighthouse Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (78) • $$

"They charge a 3% credit card fee... food was decent. Tables and menus were dirty and stinky. But the credit card fee is enough to deter me from coming backOh they also don't have butter just margarine"

King Kong Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (129) • $$

"This was quite a surprise in the outskirts of Lincoln. A burger Greek joint with a giant King Kong outside. The place surprises with a giant smash burger and tasty gyro. My wife got the sirloin Greek salad, so no pictures since she was hungry and you don't mess Mother Nature or a hungry wife. (She said it was delicious) The service was pretty quick and the order was correct. The ultimate in fast food ethics, get it fast and right. The outside looks like it needs a bit of work, but that's just lipstick. Would definitely recommend if you are traveling in the area and need a quick meal."

Charred Burger + Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (45)

"Food is awesome, and now it's consistently good, obviously got the issues resolved, People going to Red Robin need to try Charred, prices are more reasonable, quality is 5 star."

Habibi Kabob And Shawarma

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"This is my first try at Borek and the Borek Spinach is out of this world! The Garlic Sauce is addictive! We are definitely planning to be regulars here! Sorry, there's nothing left to take a picture of."

Nomadic Jack’s

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I had the great pleasure of enjoying a burger at Midwest Fest last weekend. Let me tell you about this burger. A juicy, savory, decadent patty, thinly sliced pickles, ooey gooey cheese, and bacon. And this isn't the flimsy bacon you see on other burgers. This bacon has to be about an inch thick, easy to bite into and full of flavor. I was generous and shared with the two biggest burger critics in my life, my FIL, and my husband. Both were beyond impressed. My FIL even asked, where are they located? (millwork commons if you need to know)I got the burger because they were sold out of everything else, and I think that says all you need to know - theres not a bad menu items. Thank you Jack for the best burger I've had in a long while."

Louie M's Burger Lust

★★★★☆ 4.4 (312) • $$

"Found out about this place from a friend recently after years of living in the area. Some of the best breakfast food we've ever had here in Omaha. Still have yet to try a burger (was going to try one for dinner only to see they are only a brunch place and close at 3 all week), but all the breakfast dishes have been phenomenal. The green chili in particular is something special not seen in other Midwestern joints east of Colorado. I like to smother everything with it.The ambiance is a diner classic--we only have a few of these left in the US, so we need to keep them alive. The service is great, they keep a keen eye on your coffee, filling it up very frequently.Truly a great restaurant. The only downside are it's hours, but beggars can't be choosers."

Joe's Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (71) • $

"Cute cafe Clean Kind staff Great service Yummy food We had the French toast, half order of the biscuits and gravy and the Benson omelette with hash browns!"

Ollie & Hobbes Craft Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.8 (48)

"The best food ever. I highly recommend the Parmesan truffle fries for an appetizer. They are some of the best Parmesan truffle fries I've ever had! I usually end up getting the feta and berry salad with chicken. It's always so fresh & so filling. I usually end up with leftovers. The service is always great, I always have someone who is quick and efficient. If I place a to-go order it's ready when I get there."

S.A.M. Que

★★★★★ 4.5 (27)

"I had such a great experience at S.A.M. Que and Catering in Kearney, NE! I ordered the BBQ Pork nachos, and they were absolutely delicious--loaded with toppings, fresh, and full of flavor. Definitely some of the best I've had in a long time.The lady who took my order was super friendly and had a great sense of humor. She made the experience even better with her welcoming and fun personality.I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Kearney. If you're looking for amazing food and great service, you've got to check this place out!"

The Salty Dog Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (355) • $$

"The wings was so delicious, I only dipped maybe 3-4 in the ranch sauce and that was it. I felt the ranch was robbing the wings of their unbelievable flavor. The nachos...I was extremely disappointed. I paid however much I paid for the nachos and was disappointed in the end. My disappointment was that I couldn't finish them!! I read a review that said if you order the nachos, don't order anything else. But I'm a big boy so I ordered wings to go with my nachos and yeah, I barely finished half. It's an extremely generous serving and was delicious. I forgot to mention I didn't want sour cream but thankfully the staff didn't put the sour cream on my nachos, it was served on the side in a little cup. I really appreciated that. They did have a bar you could go sit at, looks like a really nice place. I definitely look forward to stopping by again next time I'm in town. One last thing, I'm very big on leaving tips to those who work in restaurants. In a society that suddenly has become "tip hungry", it's those in the restaurant industry who are affected the most. A guy helps an old lady cross the street then ask her if she'll like to give him a tip. It's ridiculous. But it's those in food service who don't ask for a tip, despite that being more than 50% of their pay. I ordered my food online and intentionally didn't leave a tip because I was planning on giving a cash tip when I picked my food up. I went into the restaurant to pickup my food and forgot about the cash in my pocket. I returned to the truck stop and drove away. 200 miles later, I realized what I did and felt horrible. To the staff who prepared me an absolute amazing meal, I sincerely apologize for forgetting to leave that cash tip."

Spare Time Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.7 (16) • $

"A bowling alley bar, but separated enough from the bowling alley to take on its own personality. Part sports bar, part lounge, with an outdoor area called The Beach Club.The bar has an unusual, complicated layout that puts the bartender at the same level as some of the customers, but reaching up from a pit to serve other customers.This was a pretty decent place, with enough personality and amenities to make it fun. Not bad at all for a bowling alley bar."

Country Cookin Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (16)

"The best! Tia is the best waitress ever. The food is great. Love this place. Give it a try. I'm"

Dinkers Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (304) • $$

"Dinkers Bar is a local gem that a friend told me about recently. It's a totally awesome venue!Tip: No credit cards accepted; payment is cash onlyThe atmosphere is chill, the food is over-the-top incredible, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. It doesn't get any better than this :-)"

The Parkway Pub

★★★★☆ 3.8 (8) • $

"Delicious food - delightful service. Potato salad is most awesome! So are the homemade pie and patty melts."

Bronco's Self-Service Drive In

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (116) • $

"My husband finally took me to this franchise to try. My double cheeseburger combo meal was delicious... I admit it, but it was perfect for greasiness to help settle my stomach. We had a large order with a large group of people, and our food was out within five minutes. Tons of homemade fries! Yes, my burger was greasy but not in the to greasy disgusting way. The burger was hot and fresh off the griddle. The restaurant was very clean, well stocked, but a little run down. A stool was missing, and my booth wiggled. Overall, great first experience for sure."

El Patron Mexican Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"So far, so good. Loving the quaint ambiance. Will add more to the review with update on food.Must say that the food was better than we anticipated it would be. The salsa was the favorite. It was interesting and different than anywhere else that I've been in the past. There were roasted tomatoes, avocado, and lots of cilantro. && I don't know if it's because I've been in Denver for a year, but it seemed well priced for the amount of food served. The fajitas, for example, were $17 and the margarita was less than $7, tacos $2.99/each."

Mulligans Grill & Pub

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (16) • $

"Great place to grab a drink and have some bar food with friends. Love the nachos. Good traditional bar fare. Wings, burgers, grilled sandwiches and the like. Large outdoor seating area that gets a good breeze in the warm months and has heaters in the winter.Recently updated tvs and sound system. Plenty of goods views of multiple options anywhere in the building. Easily one of the more well equipped sports bars in town electronic wise. Typically very polite and well trained staff."

Goldbergs in Dundee

★★★★☆ 3.7 (112) • $$

"I asked a born and raised Omahan what spot I should take my family for dinner. I filtered my frequent by saying it needed to be classic Omaha and not too expensive, but not too cheap. Without hesitation he replied with Goldbergs in Dundee. Later on I spoke to another Nebraskan who said she used to stop here every time they drove in from Norfolk. It was a must. It is without a doubt a classic burger joint, not wowing anyone with its ambience. In fact, I saw a spider in the bathroom but felt it added to the vibe. Burgers were delicious and reasonably priced. The waitress was kind and took the time to help us get our young kids situated. For a non trendy, but classic Omaha spot, try Goldbergs in Dundee."

Don & Millie's

★★★★☆ 3.9 (20) • $

"A 50's vintage retro diner, complete with Formica and stainless steel. Think of it as a 50's drive thru. Burgers, fries, hotdogs shakes and a salad or two thrown in. I opted for the chili dog and rings and it did not displease. Hand breaded rings. The footlong was actually grilled on a flattop (Unlike others that microwave or keep them in a vat of warm water. I opted for the $.99 margarita. Well shall we say it was a $.99 margarita. And a coke or shake would have been a much better choice There are several locations in Omaha and Lincoln NE. It's not a bad choice if you want a 50's diner meal"

Vida Lounge & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (27) • $$

"The service was Great!! My food was hot and it was a large portion. Allison the manager was personable and follow-up after my food was served. After having a long day at work, I came into the bar. Matthew had a customer that was rude. I watched him handle it very well. I thought the service and food was great for my week work trip. Convenient located in the Double Tree Hilton. Omaha Southwest"
