Block 16

There's a reason Alton Brown has said this is the best restaurant in Omaha. It's the best one I've tried yet, and I regret I didn't try it sooner. I tried the 3 Happiness Burger, the Dragon Fries, and the Block Burger. All three options were beyond expectations. The 3 Happiness Burger had better Americanized Asian flavors than 3 Happiness Express, and that says a lot about both places! I was worried the cream cheese would be too much, but they found a way to keep it from overpowering the entire burger. The Block Burger was more traditional in its contents, but don't let that fool ya. It didn't hold back on flavor. I can't express enough how exciting it is to find a place in Omaha that can do a traditional burger correctly. The Dragon Fries were amazing. Spicy sauce, cheese, fries, and a touch of freshness from some green onion on top. What's not to like? The service was great and fast. You place your order at the counter, they give you a number to place on your table, and they bring the food to you. Also, they answered the couple questions I had with more detail than I was expecting despite being pretty busy. It really seemed like they wanted me to make sure I got items that would pair well together. The menu has things for pretty much anyone, but it isn't a massive menu. The layout makes it easy to make a snap decision on what you want. I'd recommend this place for anyone not watching their waistline looking for the best burgers and fries in Omaha.

My husband took me here for a date night dinner. I've read a lot of comments from others and their menu options. There is a wide variety of good food on their menu that I wanted to try out. The food was delicious and the price is pretty decent for its quality. Would definitely come back another time.

Best chicken sandwich I have ever had. The Brooke Chickenwich. It was perfectly fine seasoned, which is hard to find. The duck fries are unique as well, and as good as advertised. In fact, their whole menu looks excellent. My only advice is to know you order in a line environment, then grab a seat. It's popular so expect to wait a bit in line. We'll worth it, however. Cheers from AZ!

Great Place to grab lunch downtown, and a favorite for Omaha locals. Plenty of great sandwiches and amazing fries on the menu. But make sure that when you go, you have some time to burn because there is usually a pretty long line to order.

Came for dinner on a Saturday night and despite the line to order, we got through quickly and food came out quick as well. Between the two of us we ordered the 3 happiness burger, bacon and brie sandwich, and dragon fries. I would definitely order them all again and come back next time we are in town!

Such great food! We split the bacon & brielt and then each got an order of crab rangoon fries. Would highly recommend both of these options. It’s a smallish restaurant, we did have a little bit of a wait to order, but the food came out in a timely manner. They do have a couple outdoor tables available for nicer days. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean.

On the plate — the 24 hour brisket in a puff pastry, mashed potatoes with red wine gravy (today's special). In the baskets — the 3-Happiness burger sans bun and the duck-duck-goose fries. Both were excellent. I love the food choices here.

This place is pretty special. The food is high quality at a reasonable price. The flavors were amazing. The lady who took our order was super awesome and friendly! I would definitely recommend trying out block 16.

This is my wife and my first time at Block 16 since we have moved to Omaha. We are definitely impressed with the menu and the flavor combinations this restaurant has created! I ordered the Brooke’s Chickwich, my wife ordered the Bacon and Brie, and we shared an order of Dirty Fries! Definitely not disappointed and neither will you!

Fresh and delicious food in an upbeat atmosphere with friendly service. I stopped near the end of the lunch hour and got takeout and there was a line but things moved quickly. The fries are great with some unique but tasty toppings and twists. The sandwich was flavorful and a good size and value for the price. There isn't a ton of space so be willing to wait for a table or get takeout. A great place for lunch with friends.
