50 Best Burger Restaurants in Omaha

“What a fun place to eat! It’s half old-fashioned diner, half old fashioned casual restaurant. We wanted to try breakfast because they tout their pork green chili and my wife loves to eat as much of that as she can when she goes to Denver. Louie M’s was good but it was not the same as the chili in Denver - this had much more of a tangy tomatillo flavor. She had the breakfast burrito and I had the chorizo scramble and both were very tasty and complimented the green chili tanginess. The service was friendly and fast. I really would love to go back and try one of their burgers, which they are known for.“

“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!!!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“This is my favorite Freddy's! The food is so good here you guys! Especially love their French fries! And their customer service is really good too. We celebrated a birthday here and we were able to move two tables together and it just made the perfect birthday spot and the food was delicious! And I had never had their custard before but it was so yummy and the vanilla custard had sprinkles on it and my friend got the chocolate custard and that hot chocolate chips on it and everyone just had a fantastic time there was a whole bunch of us and there was plenty of room! And I just want to say again that I thought the customer service was really good at this location because they made sure we had everything all of our food and they were really professional and kind too! If you want to go somewhere with yummy food, with a really great and this is the place! And they have lots of windows so the sunshine was coming in it was really pretty too. I will definitely be back to this Freddy's again! And you got to try the french fries they're just really good!“

“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.“

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

“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 😎“

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

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

“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“

“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 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.“

“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.“

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

“Good food, good atmosphere“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“They could be a little nicer“

“My review might be kind of biased as I used to work at this location a few years (decades) ago. But I always stop at a Runza or two when I'm back in town. It was cleaner than I remember. Maybe that's more reflective of me as an employee back then...“

“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!“

“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.)“

“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.“

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

“Awesome place as always yummy“

“Food is amazing“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food wasn’t anything special, service was ok, friendly staff no comments there, respectful. I had bone in wings, bbq, garlic parm. Not much flavor, cheese curds were great, can’t mess those up. Short staffed so I understand the service wasn’t the greatest and can’t complain she was doing her best. That’s why 4 stars. My partners burger, they forgot the cheese, and they forgot to bring me my other drink I’d asked for. Probably won’t be back unless I want some drinks, the drinks were on point.“

“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“

“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“

“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“

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

“This afternoon as I was going through the drive thru, my car died. I explained to the staff and they immediately sprung into action to get my car moved out of the way as it was obstructing the drive. I want to express my gratefulness to your wonderful staff led by Nolan and to the customer that came out and lent an assist. They even brought my lunch out to me as I sat in my car waiting for help to arrive. Can't get service better than this all with a great additude.“

“Judged purely against its peers, this is the best BK I've eaten at in Omaha for sure and measures up well against other fast food franchises as well. The associates are always friendly and accommodating, even when they're swamped, and the food is generaply prepared/assembled with more care than the average fast food joint, i.e. no smushed buns; wonky patties; old chx fries that have been sitting under a heat lamp for 2 hrs; etc.“
