Omaha is definitely a burger town. Nebraska is famous for its beef, and the Metro Area boasts many restaurants that (justifiably) pride themselves on a wide variety of burger styles, toppings and preparations. There’s nothing better than a thick, juicy hamburger to satisfy your hunger and brighten your day.

B&G Tasty Foods, 7900 West Dodge Road, Omaha

While B&G Tasty Foods is most famous for their loose-meat sandwiches, they also make a killer burger. They start with a quarter pound of never-frozen beef. Next, they hand-press it and sear it on their griddle. Finally, the perfectly-seasoned patty is topped with your choice of fresh ingredients like ketchup, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle. Want your burger smeared with peanut butter or topped with an egg? Just ask! Pair this with some shoestring French fries, waffle fries or onion rings and you’ll have a better day.

Brix, 224 North 170^th Street, Ste. 101, Omaha and 220 South 31^st Avenue, Ste. 3101, Omaha

Brix is a local favorite, and they pride themselves on their cheddar burger. The Brix cheddar burger begins with 100% all natural certified Angus beef topped with aged cheddar cheese, Arcadian lettuce, tomato and onion, all on a delicious, oven-roasted pretzel bun. Even better, the Brix chef creates a different Brix burger every week. One of their ever-popular Brix burgers is “The Ultimate.” The Angus beef patty is topped with aged cheddar cheese, house-made BBQ sauce, beer-battered onion rings and pecan-smoked bacon – all piled extra high on an oven-roasted pretzel bun. Stop in and be surprised with the Brix burger of the week!

Burger Star, 21209 Nebraska Crossing Drive, Gretna

Burger Star is located in the NEX Outlet Mall, just a short drive away in Gretna.

Take a break from shopping and relax with a cold beer and a burger while catching your favorite game!

You’ll need a nap after!

Goldberg’s in Dundee has been serving quality hamburgers for over twenty years. Grilled over an open flame, the Blackstone, Havarti and Greek Burgers, along with the traditional styles, satisfy a variety of tastes and can be accompanied by sides from delicious sweet potato fries to fresh sautéed vegetables. Their fresh, never frozen, 100% beef hamburgers are charbroiled over an open flame, delicately seasoned and served deliciously moist on either a lightly toasted gourmet or pretzel bun. They are served with kettle chips, but more popular companions are curly-Q fries, thick, meaty potato wedges or sweet potato fries with a homemade dip. Toppings of choice include strips of bacon, fresh sautéed mushrooms and five types of cheese. The Greek burger is a tempting and innovative choice, stuffed with fresh red peppers, sautéed mushrooms, onion, spinach and feta cheese.  The Caesar is seasoned with pepper and garlic and topped with guacamole, caeser-mayo dressing and Parmesan cheese.

The burger is paired with the freshest Rotella’s hamburger buns – delivered daily – along with crisp lettuce, dill pickle, tomato and your choice of fresh sliced or grilled onions. You can top your burger with American, Swiss, cheddar, jack, feta or bleu cheese. Variations on their classic burger are the black and bleu’ burger with blackening seasoning and bleu cheese, the Nebraska classic with bacon and cheese, or the patty melt, a local favorite, served on marbled rye bread with grilled onions and Swiss cheese. All burgers are served with French fries and two hand-battered signature onion rings. A malt made with their homemade ice cream seals the deal.
