Best Burger in Omaha

I will be there starting tomorrow for a few days. I am always on the look out for the best gourmet burgers. PM me any suggestions.

Thanks

Omaha is lacking in a "gourmet burger" joint, but there are some good burgers to be had. I had an awesome burger Sunday at Beacon Hills in Aksarben. Half price burgers there on Sunday. Dinker's Bar also has great burgers. Other options are Leadbelly's in Midtown Crossing or Louis M's Burger Lust in South O.

+1 for Burger Lust

If you like them greasy Stella's is the best! http://www.stellasbarandgrill.com/

Charred serves Wagyu burgers. Really good just south of Pacific around 126th street http://charredburgers.com/

Another vote for Stella’s.

Amusing that even a KC guy knows about Stella's. Just a few klicks off the north edge of Offutt.

The Omaha newspaper reviewed local burger joints a few years back. The first review covered dive bar/casual burgers which is just my speed. https://www.omaha.com/go/dining/food...7a43b2370.html. I tried most of them and my favorite was Dinker’s, followed closely by Stella’s.

They had a subsequent review of gourmet burgers (https://www.omaha.com/go/dining/omav...fe8474573.html). Not my scene so I have not tried any of them.

Louie M's or stella's! ��

+1 for Dinkers !

Thank you everyone for all the input. Now I just have to choose. They all seem so appealing. Maybe I will make another trip up here in Dec so I can try more of them.

Again....Thank you.

My backyard grill. Lol

Dinker's beats Stella's every day of the week, and twice on Tuesdays.

I'm not knocking Stella's, they make a good burger. Just sayin'.

I have heard good things about Burger Theory. Located on Cuming street near the ball park.

Edit: And now I have to go try Block 16. Thanks to penname for posting the article.

Seems like "best burger in Omaha?" will always get one of two responses:

Dinkers - total dive and great burgers
Stellas - slightly less dive and also great, seems like they used to be better in the past but maybe it's just me. One theory is they cleaned the griddle when they remodeled and it's never been the same.



Louis M's - also very good, a little more upscale than the first two, but not actually upscale.
Block 16 - Gastro Pub style, good but limited hours (lunch only except Saturday) and there's usually a long line.
Leadbelly - Gastro Pub style. Some very weird combos, but that's a plus if you're into it. For example, they have a burger served on a cinnamon bun which is a lot better than it sounds.
Burger Theory is okay, I didn't think it was anything special. The atmosphere is terrible...nothing but dozens of TVs. If you aren't there for sports viewing, I would pass on this one.
