Omaha's Best Hamburgers
I had a friend go to Louie M’s Burger Lust because someone told him they served the best burgers in town. I had never heard of it since it opened in 1981 just before I moved from Omaha. So I have to ask - who does serve the best hamburgers in Omaha? I will add more to the poll as they are suggested.
I have always heard from EVERYONE that Dinker's has the best burgers. Â I have never been there but want to! Â Their sign on the building claims "Omaha's Best Burgers"
Louie M's is good. Â Not sure about the best.
I had the old stand by today.... The "Double Don" from Don and Millie's

My favorite burgers so far have been anything at Billy Frogs but I'm partial the the Bleus Burger and the shocker....Spaghetti Works. In 20+ years of eating there I never even thought to try a burger there. My grandma ordered one and out of curiosity I tried some of hers and it was surprisingly good.
DTO
CiP? definitely not! Maybe not the best, but I always thought Fox & Hound had a very good burger. Never ate there, but I've heard alot of people talk about Goldberg's?

See, DTO knows what i'm talkin about. Â Anytime we go to spaghetti works, i order a burger...and plate of pasta (cause you can't pass up free refills and a chance to have left over spaghetti for a couple days). Â Everyone in my family thinks i'm lame because i order a burger at an italian restaurant, but they do it right. Â I swear they put something in them.

Come on Brad, I thought you KNEW the MetroBrad wrote:Whats stella's?Omaha Cowboy wrote:Don;t forget about Stella's..Excellent burgers..
Stella's
106 Galvin Rd S, Bellevue, NE
Get your hamburger, on a paper towel, with a complementary thumb print or two in the bun! legendary.
EDIT: Â I believe they just completed a remodel and I will have to admit that I have not been there since completing so it may have change some.
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!
I think the only place I eat in Bellevue is Amarillo BBQ.
Sounds good thought, I might have to try it.

Somebody told me they closed! (I guess somebody was wrong then, huh?) I haven't been there in YEARS, although it's quite a bit off my beaten path. For barburgers, they used to be about the tastiest you could get.Brad wrote:Whats stella's?Omaha Cowboy wrote:Don;t forget about Stella's..Excellent burgers..
I chose King Kong (no jy-ro, geeeeeea-ro!), cuz I think it's about the best of the fast food places, but Don And Millies is actually good too, reminds me of the old Kings when I first moved here.
And actually, for a fast food burger, Culvers isn't bad either.
Can I change my vote. Â You added Danny's to the list. Â They have GREAT BURGERS!!!! Â 72 and Blondo.

Not sure. Â I thought I put Don and Millie's, but it doesn't have any votes? Â I am not too worried about it. Â I can tell you who I did not vote for, TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays, and any other national chain on the list.

I've tried the Triple Prime and wasn't impressed (at least for the price). Â The only thing I like at Ruby Tuesday's is the salad bar. Â I am more of a fan of the Royal Red Robin Burger.SabrinaFaire wrote:Red Robin? Red Robin? Seriously? They're pretty easy to beat IMO. Go try Ruby Tuesday's Triple Prime burger.flyOMA wrote:King Kong. Â
As far as chains go, Red Robin and Fuddruckers are hard to beat.
King Kong is on my list because of that 1 ton  burger they have, which is always a personal challenge to see if I can eat the whole thing.  Of course, you always need to have your arteries stented after eating one, but life's short to be picky!
I know it's not in Omaha, but the absolute best burgers I have had in Nebraska was at "Chances R" in York. Â Those were unbelievable...They also have the best prime rib I've ever had.

If you are talking fast food burgers, Sonic is my #1. Â Culvers rates #2, though. Â Chili's also has a pretty good burger.
Don and Millies though is absolutely horrible. Â Waaaaay too greasy; even McDonalds makes a better tasting burger. Â
Goldbergs is #1 in my book. Â Someday I want to make it to Stellas though...and Dinker's too, probably.

There's no plates at Stella's but plenty of napkins

And even if you knew the old Stella's, the present-day version may cause some confusion: The bar and burger shack that sat on a gravel plot off Galvin Road for nearly 60 years is now a cute cottage with east-facing windows, rock-and-flower landscaping, umbrella-topped outdoor tables and paved parking.
Any uncertainty about where you are ends when you step inside.
Breathe in deeply: A burgerlicious smell emanates from the big open grill in the corner.
Look past the bar with the galvanized-steel toe guard and the modern pendant lights: Black-and-white photos of the old Stella's and its namesake hang everywhere.
Stella's dates to 1936 in Bellevue and to 1949 on its present spot. And it's been in the same family from the get-go.

I drove by there about 45 minutes ago. Â They are always fairy busy at noon based on there lot on the occasions that I drive but but today they were packed. Â Based on the newspaper story I am sure.

http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=3 ... d=10395112Burger update
The Fuddruckers southeast of 72nd and Dodge Streets should open Aug. 18.
Owner Rick Windrum had hoped to have the new restaurant open by now, but he said rainy weather and some contractor delays pushed back the opening.
The restaurant is a smaller version of the original at that location, which has been converted into a strip mall.

wags and I wanted a good burger today but both Stella's and Dinkers are closed on Sunday!
