50 Best Burger Restaurants in Omaha

“here that secvie was not good will not be eating there“

“Visiting from Vegas and found this gem thanks to my cousin! I can see why their burgers are award winning! Vanessa was our server and she was great too! The only disappointment I had was they had no magnets to buy 😔 just T-shirts for souvenirs. We will definitely be back again!“

“Incredible! Best food in town! Drive thru was quick and easy too 😏“

“We live close to Omaha tap house pepperwood and love love love their food and their service is top notch!!! As with any restaurant sometimes you’ll get something that isn’t quite right and they always seem to take care of their customers 5/5 stars! One of my favorite places in town to eat and the best burgers and wings around! Thank you again for being part of our community!!!“

“My husband and I were recommended by our car salesman and he was Right! This place was a great experience. Everyone was nice and friendly! Even the guy at the bar was nice and talked highly of this place. We ordered the burgers and onion rings plus the most amazing ranch sauce. Absolutely love the atmosphere and 👍👍 on the best burgers! We will definitely be back!“

“We went to Shirley’s this morning for breakfast. The environment was nice, relaxed and quiet. The staff was friendly and attentive. I got a side of biscuits and gravy; The biscuits were delicious and fluffy! I also got a waffle as a side, which was also good. My friend got the chicken fried steak, hash browns, and scrambled eggs along with pancakes. He liked all his food. We’d recommend this restaurant for sure!“

“food is awesome!!! Definitely worth the 2 hr drive. me and the hubby went this weekend, our first time there on Sunday, and we've been talking about "we need to go back to make sure" since lol“

“I love Block16. One of my first times eating here I ended up eating lunch right next to Chris Stapleton when he was touring in town, so you know if famous folks are TOLD to go here, you know it's good.

We ordered a pretty large / catering-sized order for our office of about 30 people ahead of time and they made it really easy for us. I'm not sure if it's something they would always do, but their attention to detail, organization, and overall customer service in addition to just HOW GOOD THE FOOD IS -- it's worth navigating all the construction downtown right now.

DO IT! Also ate too quickly to take any photos. Just eat here, please.“

“Whiskey ribeye is the best in Omaha! Hands down!“

“Amazing food. Very tasty. Can't wait to come back!“

“As someone with Celiac, it's hard to find a GOOD place to eat where the staff is also kind to you and doesn't treat you like an inconvenience because of Celiac. I tried the Charred Burger Bar in Omaha today and will definitely be back! The waygu beef was 10/10 but I was just very impressed by the GF bun that didn't fall apart immediately, and wasn't gritty, as well as the fact that they have a separate fryer for fries + GF friendly oil. The server also had a list of celiac safe dips and sauces! Win win.“

“My fave breakfast spot. They do eggs right, and their link sausages are perfecto. Easy parking, ugly building, nice people. What else could you want for breakfast“

“We will be back . Food was amazing“

“Had to hit up Freddy's while visiting Omaha recently - my boyfriend insisted that I try it. It was delish! Made hot and fresh. I had a double burger, onion rings, and good old-fashioned vanilla ice cream with hot Carmel sauce! Everything was hot, tasty, and satisfying! But the older woman who took our order was so friendly and joyful. She provided great service and the young people working together there were so happy and chatty. A pleasure!“

“This a great place to meet up with friends and enjoy good drinks and good food. The innovation in the kitchen is amazing and they are always coming up with unique menu items.“

“The food was delicious 😋. Overall, I would have given them an A+. However, I requested a towel from the cashier to clean the dirty chair and table. She provided what I requested 😆 🤣 😂. Nevertheless, it would have been more appropriate for her to have someone wipe it down.“

“Best pizza in Omaha doesn’t matter the location for MaMa’s. Best cheese, best toppings and is always consistent every single time. Started (and still go to) visiting Saddle Creek 20 years ago and now we order more often from 156th and Pacific location closer to home. Both excellent!“

“I highly recommend this place to anyone who is curious. Great service, funny staff and very clean bathroom.“

“Great food and atmosphere but needs work on handling large crowds for events. Tonight my fiance and I had a wild experience lol. Arrived knowing we would wait, was quoted 30 min to 1 hour. Agreed and took a seat at the bar for drinks, table was available within the 30 min time frame which was great. Was seated and didn’t see a server for 35 minutes, we expected a wait and wasn’t too bothered at this point over it. Once the server came over to us he said he thought we were being taken care of already since I had a drink from the bar. We brushed it off and placed our drinks and food order at that time. My food came out within 5 minutes and we were pretty stunned with how quick that came considering how packed it was. Now, after 10 min of him not getting his order and we also didn’t have our drinks we looked around to find someone to ask. I called out to the server and the manager several times, but didn’t succeed in grabbing their attention and fiance didn’t want me to get up and find someone. 40 minutes after my food arrived the server came up to us and I asked about his food and our drinks. I said well just take our bill and a to go box for mine. He did bring out my fiancés order and removed it from the bill. We understand it’s not entirely the servers fault but overall we were pretty bummed since we do enjoy this spot for the atmosphere and the food has always been good. A few other tables also were saying they had similar experiences tonight and also just wanted their bills as well.“

“Good food, good atmosphere“

“The service is always good and I love your tuna melt! I could literally eat it everyday! Highly recommend!“

“A newbie & loved this great pub with tasty food. A pizza place but much more. Taco Tuesday, perfectly crisped soft shell choice of 2, beef, chix or shrimp. We ordered the chips & salsa...the queso was the hidden gem. This place, very attentive and customer focused, food A+, prices very affordable, atmosphere was cozy & quaint. Can't wait to enjoy the large summer patio.“

“Wonderful prime rib special on Thursday night. Very delicious; melt in your mouth. The desserts are also amazing.“

“I gotta share about the best service we got at Freddy's tonight on 3465 N. 168th Ct. We stopped in there to eat dinner and was greeted by a kid name Chard, he had a the biggest smile on his face, so polite, and honestly seemed happy he work's there. He never stopped working while we were there eating, he was cleaning tables sweeping, and greeted everyone that came in with a smile and was just happy to see us. The place was spotless, who ever was cooking did a great job, and the kitchen was spotless. I highly recommend this place not just for the food, but the customer service was excellent. Looking for a place for a quick meal go check them out. My cheeseburger and onion rings were delicious, fresh and hot. Thanks to the staff at Freddy's especially Chard!! We definitely will be back 😊“

“My daughter and I had lunch here and it was delicious. Employees were nice and the store was clean. We will definitely come back again!“

“They could be a little nicer“

“Culvers never disappoints. While butterburgers may not be health food they are delicious, their concretes are delicious with a variety of add ons (for those of you that don't know a concrete is frozen custard chocolate or vanilla with various add ins like cookie dough, oreo pieces, strawberries etc.)“

“Twisted Cork has been a favorite of mine since I was introduced to it at a business lunch ten years ago. Since developing a severe gluten allergy last year, I appreciate this place even more. The menu, the attention to detail, and the care shown by both the owner, cooks, and all staff when they are alerted make such a difference. Thank you!“

“Great service ! Food is outstanding had the patty melt (perfectly scrumptious) and Perry's pig out which is a real pork loin with smoked bacon (you can taste the flavor) and an egg with a slice of ham ! All fantastic would definitely come back atmosphere good pool tables dartboard and more 😎“

“Awesome place as always yummy“

“Great bar food +. wings, burgers. home made crab rangoon, puffy tacos...what more could you want?“

“What a great visit! Kossi took our order and she was awesome! Good customer service is hard to come by these days and she greated us with a smile and friendly attitude. She was so personable and interacted with our kids so well. Thanks Kossi!“

“This place is a sinful place. Burgers so good.... Fries done perfectly. Please do NOT open a location in Fremont, otherwise I will be in a burger coma. Hands down best fast food burger out there!
Update: Glad Culver's responded promptly. Shows they stand behind their products. I will pay more for this quality. Look I'm a chunky guy, if I want a good, quality, fast burger fix.... This is my heaven!

Are you kidding me, I need to change my underwear after eating here. I am not kidding. So good, y'all hit it every time. I'd be 400 lbs if you came to Fremont.
Update: yeah you are bomb, no other fast food place is as good.... Simply the best!“

“You need to bring one to Overland Park Kansas. I don’t get to Nebraska very often. Love their Mushroom and Swiss Runza!!“

“Okay so first of all the only reason we went to runza was because it was in one of Ryan trahan's videos. This specific runza and we just had to do it for funsies. The employees were so nice! The food was fresh and the burger was amazing. They have ice cream cones for $1 all summer so you know we got in on that. That was good too! Overall, just like Ryan trahan, we had an excellent, five star experience. And my kid was thrilled to go someplace he seen on YouTube. Thank you Runza!“

“Atmosphere:decent..munchies:better than most..service:pretty darn good...prices:not out of line. Beer selection:meh. Overall..super good time.“

“Got the job done! Lol hope to go back“

“My husband was craving a good burger so we gave burger theory and try and was not disappointed!! Their prices are average and the food was amazing they also have a great kids menu. The atmosphere here was very enjoyable with amazing customer service, thank you to our server Drasti for being a great waitress ! Will definitely be back for more“

“My wife and I ate here on the evening of 7/24/26. Our server Asher was very professional and personable. Our prime rib and onion rings were excellent! Ordered it medium, it was delivered exactly medium. Flawless. The seasoning on the prime rib was excellent! The onion rings are huge, sweet, homemade and the best we have ever had. There is a slight up-charge to order them, but it is worth it! My wife had a pork tenderloin sandwich and she said it was awesome. The table next to us got the lighthouse nachos and they looked fantastic! We had a very good experience and would give the food a 10 out of 10! The service Asher provided us was a 10 out of 10. The bussers were very prompt at cleaning off the tables and even wiped off the chairs. We would highly recommend this establishment and will definitely be back soon! We even posted a pic of our wonderful server Asher. Thank you! Jeff & Gail“

“Visited with my work colleagues for lunch at their recommendation. Not a place I would typically go to, since it has that kind of dive bar look and feel to it, which is totally cool!

It was a bit dark upon entering, again Kind of that dive bar vibe, but the sitting area looked clean and organized. Our waitress was super personable as well.

I ordered the Swiss mushroom burger, which was really tasty. It was done nicely in terms of being cooked and had good seasoning. I substituted the chips for the sweet potato fries and they tasted good as well, but the serving portion could have been a little bit more for being an upgrade.

All of my co-workers said they enjoyed their meals as well. Overall, I'm glad we went. Definitely worth a try if you have not been before.“

“45 minutes in the drive thru. Your food is good but really? Staff is short everywhere but never this bad.“

“I had a bad experience at Runza on 5/4/26, where I was charged for 2 meals, but only purchased 1 meal. Initially, I was told, by whomever answered the phone, claiming to be a manager, there was nothing he could do for me since I didn't report it the same day and I swore I would never eat there again. My friend/coworker went to Runza this afternoon and Jason, the manager asked if she was the one who was overcharged. I had just told her about the incident, so she was able to tell him it was me. He said he had been trying to reach me. She came back with his phone number and I called. Jason was so nice and apologized for the inconvenience and for whomever I spoke to. We even figured out what happened. Runza is now back in my good graces, and I will continue to eat there. Jason was absolutely AWESOME and determined to make things right with me and I appreciate the lengths he was willing to go to, to make it right. There should be more managers like Jason.“

“Fast, friendly, clean, and GOOD!! 10/10!“

“Great food and amazing hambugers! The staff is great. we love to come here for lunch as a treat.“

“The service is always good and I love your tuna melt! I could literally eat it everyday! Highly recommend!“

“undoubtedly one of the best , this store keeps me a good person, keeps no out of my heart,keeps good things happening to me. all i gotta do is keep eating the food. but i must add using the runza app is bizzarly unfunctional, Mostly in terms of functionality and convenience. mcdonalds and taco bells app is light years ahead, my runza app experience made me critically rethink my love of runza. i still do of course but show the app some love please“

“Listen, Culver's is still fast food. But it's pretty good. Especially for fast food. And the ice cream tends to be excellent. It's not a fancy restaurant but it is dependable for a quick and tasty meal with lots of options for most dining needs.“

“Best of Omaha Fries burgers and chicken. Everything is made fresh never frozen. Friendly staff, while it is self service the staff is dedicated and friendly to the customers.“

“The burger patty is a nice thickness. Always fresh. Runza's are always fresh. I have never had a bad meal at a Runza restaurant. We went thru the drive thru at lunchtime, so there were about 5 cars ahead of us, but it was worth the wait.“

“I visited runs on a day when they were running a special promotion and they were very busy. I went through the drive-thru and I was amazed at how quickly the line was working. Their food was fresh as usual. It appears to almost be made to order which is unusual for a fast food restaurant. The staff was great and the place was very clean“
