46 Best Burger Restaurants in Omaha

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

“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 fun options very filling kind helpful staff“

“Wow! We stopped here on a whim when trying to find a place to eat outside of the Henry Doorly Zoo. And I have to say, it was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time (I got the guacamole bacon burger). It was HUGE and tasted so good, and the fries were good as well.

We ate right outside the front door since there were some tables and chairs along the sidewalk. The service was excellent, and we’ll definitely come back again when visiting the area. There’s a cool mural on the back side of the building too. Parking is a little tight. It’s less than 5 minutes driving from the zoo.“

“A couple weeks ago we brought are kids in, it was me and my mom with my five kids and three nephews. We for sure thought it would be a circus. But the staff were so nice and helpful. They let each kid order, gave them their own coloring sheet and it just felt as if they went above and beyond for us. Every time we’ve ever gone for dinner it’s always a great experience but this time was just above all the rest!! Also the chicken bacon ranch taco was absolutely delicious!! They also were super helpful with my mom who is gluten free making sure she was able to enjoy lunch with the rest of us!! Shoot out to employee Tim who is always so friendly and just down to earth!“

“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!!!“

“Celebrated my friend's birthday here @ Charred Burger, they have a relaxing environment outside where we sat. Food was good and service was good as well. Some orders were mixed up but the server was probably tired. Thank you for your service.“

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

“love the food here. John is such a great cook“

“This was a unique find for my wife and I as we traveled through Omaha. We didn't want to eat at your everyday restaurant. So very glad we stopped in. The food is amazing. I had Omaha fries and the wife had duck duck fries. Her fries did indeed have duck. My fries had ground wagyu beef. They were both full of fantastic flavor. The service was great and so was the price. I can only imagine what the rest of their food might taste like. I highly recommend stopping in. You will not be disappointed!“

“Stopped in for breakfast and overall had a great experience! The food was really good — classic diner breakfast done right. I especially loved the homemade biscuits; they were warm, flaky, and definitely the highlight of the meal. Their pancakes were also very tasty. Prices were super reasonable, and despite how busy it was, the food came out surprisingly fast.

The only downside was the service. Our server spent a lot of time up front chatting with other staff while the place was completely packed. It didn’t affect how fast we got our food, but it did feel a bit unprofessional and made it hard to get refills or extra items.

But overall, we enjoyed it.“

“friendly servers and awesome manager“

“Food's great, people are great.The only complaint is that the tables need cleaned more often, usually dirty when finding a place to sit. The trash is full a lot of times as well.

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie burger that's pretty good.“

“clay soon girls,,?????? 50 lbs ready! heritage fun from bev!!“

“You don’t really have a server. You go in and sit where you want then go to the bar to order food. They give you a number to put on your table and they bring the food out when ready. If you want a refill they are free but you have to get up every time and go to the bar to ask.“

“The food was very fresh today and good..i just that food ...I have 2 pork chops eggs hash brown French toast thank you some much“

“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!“

“Burger was on point I will be back“

“We were visiting Omaha for the Berkshire Hathaway meeting and many restaurants were fully booked Friday night. Sand Point had availability and we are so happy it did. The staff were helpful and we decided on raw oysters to start. They were absolutely delicious so we ordered more. I had the tuna and it was perfectly seared, incredibly tender and perfectly accompanied with asparagus and vegetable purée and a hint of citrus. We also ordered champagne. They were out of the brand we ordered. The owner came to the table with a great alternative which we happily accepted. She stayed and chatted for a few minutes and we learned that she wants to add an oyster bar to the restaurant which would be a great addition. Our server was very attentive and we ended the meal with a chocolate tart that was decadent. We highly recommend this restaurant. I hope we can come back soon.“

“Good food, good atmosphere“

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

“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’ve had their breakfast burger wings and fried pickles and they’re great“

“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 😊“

“Always consistent on food and ice cream. If I can offer one suggestion.. if people are going to wait more than 15 minutes in the Drive-Thru for a cheeseburger basket, maybe wait to give them their ice cream until the rest of the food comes out.“

“We will be back . Food was amazing“

“Heard about Burger Detour and immediately had to try. Visited the S 203rd Street was greeted right when we walked in the restaurant. The staff was so kind and friendly and very helpful. The manager Diane S was very respectful and kind to her staff and also came to make sure us as customers were satisfied. I will definitely come back to visit. Also was given a special little gift ( a hoodie) for the visit.“

“We had one of the best Runza experiences ever here. The place was spotless, the young ladies FOH were exceptionally efficient and delivered great customer service. The food, as always, was 100x better than any other fast food place. This was on May 30th, 2025. It's rare to get employees that have this much integrity.“

“I had Single Double for the first time and the food and service were awesome!!! I had the Impossible Double Mack Daddy Combo! So good and so filling...I only ate about 1/3 of the burger! And the fries 😋 I'll definitely be back!“

“good food. serving food late. we'll be back.“

“What a great drive-thru experience! The gentleman (who was dressed very nicely, I might add) who took our order and helped us at the window was so friendly and efficient! (My kids usually want McD’s but I vetoed because of their e. Coli outbreak and Trump shenanigans!) We love BK!“

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

“Runza is a hidden gem!
I didn’t know what to expect the first time I tried it, but now I’m hooked. Their signature Runza sandwich is something special—warm, soft bread stuffed with seasoned beef, cabbage, and onions. It’s simple, but so satisfying. The crinkle-cut fries are always crispy and hit the spot every time. And don’t sleep on their chili or onion rings either!

The staff is super friendly, and the service is fast. You can tell they take pride in what they do. If you’ve never been to Runza, you’re seriously missing out. Comfort food at its best!“

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

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

“Bronco's is an Omaha institution. The Bronco burger and Laredo fries are choice and the cheese they use is magical, I swear the founders made with the devil to be the only place in the world to have it. If you are passing through the Big O, you have to stop here.“

“I have gone to this BK for a while now and I am always impressed with their presentation and attention. You can tell this store manager has hired a staff that truly cares about their customers and their service. The waits aren't too bad here, even at their busiest times. The lobby is clean and makes you feel good to sit in a fast food restaurant. If I could give an 11/10 I would!“

“The service was outstanding. We went during a slower time of the afternoon. Food was hot and served promptly. I had the Italian meatball sandwich and onion rings.
The sandwich was okay for what tasted like canned sauce and a generic cheese, nothing special. Kind of a smaller portion. The toasted bun was a nice touch. The onion rings were huge and made the almost hotdog bun sized sandwich look smaller than it was.
Typical concrete, industrial atmosphere. Lots of TV's but the sun was bright enough not to see them well from facing east in the afternoon.
I'm not a huge fan of chain food but, I wasn't hungry when I left. Prices were as expected. A decent place, I guess.“

“Cheese curds, Cheese curds, AND CHEESE CURDS!

They know how to keep making the experience better! Double drive through lanes, mobile ordering with curb side pickup, and a large lobby for plenty of seating. This Culver's does right.

Also, great food, awesome cheese curds, and fresh frozen custard. Loves the flavor of the day and the exciting combinations you can make.

Fast Food done right, and fresh.“

“Literally is the best burger I’ve ever eaten. So thankful to be blessed enough to know the souls that operate this amazing place. Hit up the food truck and the restaurant! Go hungry! You won’t be disappointed!“

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

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

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

“I love the butter burgers and custard! Absolutely delicious every time. The changing flavor of the day is fun. Be prepared for a good wait tho, not the fastest of fast food, and to be asked to pull up to the side in the drive thru, which seems to defeat the purpose of a drive thru but to each their own. I do wish the cheese curds were more like Freddy’s. Overall good food.“

“I came through the drive thru on my break and my order was prepared incorrectly. I called and spoke with Isaiah & he was very polite and said I could come the next day to have it replaced. I went through the drive thru the next day and as soon as I said my name, the cashier knew the situation and they replaced my entire meal with great attitudes. Excellent food and excellent service! We'll be back.“

“I will always give Runza 5 stars! But this location is not very friendly at the drivethrough (that is very rare for Runza) also I ordered the popcorn chicken (I have ordered this several times) they gave me 5 pieces smallest amount of any order I have ordered“
