My partner and I Went in to eat dinner for ‘BFF’ after walking around. Walked in and was just stared at before asking if we get seated or seat ourselves. Bartenders were very sweet and handed us some menus to seat ourselves. When we were sat, we were greeted by a server and gave him our drink order, but didn’t see him again for a bit. Beer was dropped by another server which was fine, and he asked if he could get us anything else. With this, we thought this was our server?? We gave him our food order. Then a bit later, the first guy came over and asked if we ordered with the other person to which we said we did. Very confusing.
We got our food, and most of the sausages were ok. Not amazing, but we didn’t complain. Pretzels were delicious.
We were checked in on once about halfway into our meal, and then not again after that. When we were ready to start leaving, we looked around for either of the servers and saw everyone talking at the bar waiting for beers, presumably. The beers they were waiting for was for the table right behind us. This would’ve been a moment he could’ve checked on us, but didn’t. My partner had to go up to the bar and ask for a box. Then again to ask for a check. I had gone to the bathroom during this time and didn’t see a busy back patio. We did feel looked over and brushed off. During our stay, the table behind us asked the person who dropped off our food for silverware, to which he said “sure” and bussed the table next to us instead.
We both work in the service industry, and know being in the weeds, but there were only a few other tables in and out besides us. Very expensive for the service we were given.

We went for dinner last night and to say the food and service was mediocre would be giving this place an actual compliment. Because both were far from it. We got the sausage sampler and my God was it all god-awful. It might as well have been borderline dog food. And those pretzels were probably the only saving Grace that was edible. And let's be honest, we've all had better pretzels at the mall at a wetzel's pretzel. And the service. It might as well be a fast casual at that point. If it was a busy night, I would understand why the servers would have a hard time coming over to the table and checking back. However, it was very slow. It would have been more entertaining to watch paint dry on the wall. Honestly to the general public do not eat here. It sucks, just go down the street a little more and go to the Benton brewery or virtuoso Pizza. This place is trash.

Great food, huge beers, and dog friendly beer garden. What's more to ask?!
As someone who’s lived in Omaha my whole life, I’ve been to a lot of places that claim to have the best burger in town, and out of all of those places, there is only one that I continue to go back to every time: Bärchen Beer Garden in Benson. These burgers are so delicious! Melty Gouda cheese, juicy Waygu beef patties, pickled red onions, and a house made burger sauce served on a soft and airy potato bread bun. Along with the burgers, they have yummy cocktails, specialty shots, and a long list of beers to try.
Every time we have gone, the restaurant has been clean, the staff has been super nice and attentive, and the food has been top notch. The back patio is great for larger groups and a fun place to spend a beautiful day.
Next time you’re in the mood for a good burger, definitely go show Bärchen some love!

I was there tonight playing trivia with three of my friends. I got there early and the bar staff was nice and a couple of the employees asked if I needed anything every few minutes or so, which was also nice. However, when we ordered and received our food, one of the entrees was missing. The runner, who was also very nice, sent the waitress over, who told my friend she didn’t order any food. My friend said she did (she remembers because she asked if she wanted fries) but the waitress was kind of rude and retook her order. We did not see our waitress again over the following 2.5 hours we were there. She would help every other table around us, but would not even make eye contact with our table in order for us to get her attention. We only got one round of drinks and wanted another, but she really soured the experience. The food is good and trivia is always fun, but I will probably never go back due to this waitress and her rude and avoidant behavior. Something that should not have been that big of a deal was made worse because of her.
