Stopped by Block 16 and totally get why people hype this place up. The food is creative, made with quality ingredients, and everything feels thoughtfully put together. You order at the counter and wait a bit, but it's worth it, this is more chef-driven comfort food than fast food. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and even the daily specials feel special. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Omaha and want something memorable but still casual. read more

Stopped in randomly because of the rating and the menu. OMG this place does not disappoint. The service was great. The lady working helped us with great recommendations. The Poutine Burrito was great but what was even better was the dragon wrap with chicken. Great flavor, seasoned perfectly, and just enough dressing/sauce. Add some fries and a beer and cider, and you have the perfect meal. I would describe the place as funky and fun. Will be back!!! read more

It bugged me how the owners were all sanctimonious complaining about the streetcar, but gods I cannot resist the poutine. Literally the only place I've had authentic-tasting poutine in the US. I've gone weeks getting it for lunch every day. If you do go for lunch order ahead, it's usually packed. read more

Just about the time it died down in the restaurant we realized they were closed. Expect to wait... but as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. They made it clear of the wait up front, and I never felt like the restaurant staff was 'slacking'. They are in high demand because the food is unique, and worth the wait. Give it a shot. The ambiance has a nice vibe as well. read more

Our group ate in for dinner. all the food was delicious and we had great service. We ordered Block Burger, Omaha fries, and a salad. All had great flavor and were good portions. The burger is pretty typical but the toppings make it shine. The Omaha fries were our top favorite- highly recommend! And the salad was huge - loaded with greens, vegetables, hummus as a side, and chickpeas. read more

Please don't be scared if there's a line out the door, this place is worth it. From the all compostable dishes and plastic ware to the art on the walls, this place has my heart and I haven't even begun talking about the food. Each bite was delicious and had me wanting another. I'd have to say the Rangoon fries were my favorite. This was a wonderful place to bring my family while they were visiting. The menu has a wide variety of unique creations for everyone and their cravings that are worth standing in line for!! read more

Came to Omaha to visit family and I saw this spot on Social Media and I had to come. This spot is kinda hidden from the street so you'll have to look for the big 16. The service was wonderful.

AN ANOUNCEMENT TO THE MASSES! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY A "WRONG THING TO ORDER" FROM BLOCK 16! I am laughing as I type this review out, but mind you, I was super super sad while eating my dinner from Block 16 and here is why. I ordered the wrong thing! Please note that their menu is not full proof. Hahaha I ordered the Dragon Wrap with housemade Chickpea Meat. Omg. It was so bad. It was the saddest thing I've had in a very long time. I didn't eat it after a few bites.. The pita wasn't even warm or toasted. *insert cry emoji But, really, I can see where the other menu options are better and I had no reason to be healthy about going here. Maybe just don't order that.

So we finally made it to Block 16! We don't get to the downtown area often but it happened to work out for us. We pulled up about 10 minutes before they opened for dinner service and there was already a line down the sidewalk but we didn't let that deter us and you shouldn't either. Once you get close to the front door you can scan the QR code for the current menu, it changes frequently, so you can be ready to order when you get to the counter. Once it was our turn we were happily greeted by everyone working behind the counter. We ordered our food, a bottle of wine (only $20!) and got our number. There are lots of big group tables and a few small tables inside and some tables out on the patio to sit at. The patio in the evening is in full sun so be prepared for that. Once we sat down we didn't have long to wait till our food was delivered. I ordered the Pulled Pork Roll and the Dragon Fries. My husband had the Frenchie and none of it disappointed! Everything was fresh, high quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Hopefully we can get downtown a bit more often and stop by again! read more

This walk in sandwich stop came with high praise from the locals. The food was hot and delicious! However, it's a very casual seating area and it's all self service. The Dragon Fries were tasty as was the Croquet Garçon Burger was fresh. Recommend for a causal lunch or dinner. read more

I went to block 16 today. Only my second time here's. The chicken sandwich with the Nashville sauce/seasoning was excellent. Would definitely get it again. My husband for the block 16 burger. Boring! Would not bother. Regular fries were fine. I would not get the duck duck goose again, but the gooseberry sauce on it was excellent. Wish it just had that and mayo! read more

Was disappointed that they were out of the Poutine Burrito, but the Croquet Garçon, the Shroomy, and Dragon Wrap were phenomenal. We also had the Poutine and funky fungi fries which were out of this world. read more

I've really been looking forward to visiting Block 16 and was excited to try their burger. It wasn't bad by any means but it just isn't my cup of tea. It tasted fine but it was really messy, my hands were covered in slime, and every bite pushed the patty further away from the bun. That is most likely user error but still. It still tasted fine though, I've never tried a burger with an egg on it before. The service was reasonable as well. read more

We heard great things about Block 16 so stopped on our way out of town. Order at the counter and then wait for the food at your table. I could see how parking would be tough when it's super busy! We sat outside at one of the three available tables on the small patio. Croque Garcon Burger 5/5: the best thing we ordered. It wasn't cooked medium as stated but it was still very good. The egg was over easy, the truffle mayo was delicious! Seasoned Fried 2/5: just not good. They were not seasoned at all and for $4, we were left disappointed. Poutine burrito 5/5: although the presentation was not super pretty, a solid and filling choice! Filled with cheese curds, tots, and a very tender beef. The malt vinegar aioli was definitely a very strong flavor but complimented it well. read more

If you're only in Omaha for a day or two, this restaurant needs to be at the top of your must-try list. Their menu is full of deliciously creative items made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. If you're feeling adventurous, they also have daily specials - either a concoction from the culinary minds behind the restaurant, or their take on a famous piece of pop culture food. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu, but if it's your first time, you need to try the Croque Garçon burger. This is the burger that put them on the map, and got them recognized by esteemed food critic Alton Brown. I highly recommend getting there early for lunch and dinner. This restaurant gets busy, and they do sell out, but the food is simply not be be missed! read more

Block 16 has legit delicious vegetarian options. the poutine gravy is vegetarian and full of flavor. Salad was fresh, huge, and tasty. Well executed grilled cheese. Staff is happy and friendly. Block 16 would be on my list of regular spots in LA. To find such a good spot in the vegetarian option desert of Omaha was a pleasant surprise. read more

Best place to eat when you're in Omaha. Everything on the menu is phenomenal and priced reasonably. Highly recommend the poutine burrito, the croque garcon burger, and the duck duck goose fries. Friendly and helpful staff, too. read more

Block 16 is a spot I will remember forever. The food was incredible. Hands down some of the best food in Omaha. The Frenchie 9/10 perfection down to the last bite. Chicken Bacon Ranch 8/10 lots of flavors that work so good together & the chicken was so crispy & juicy. The Rangoon fries 10/10 unreal. So much flavor I will be dreaming of these fries they were so dang good! If I'm ever in Omaha again this will be the first place I go to for food. read more

My husband and I visited Block 16 on a Friday night. There was a short line, but it moved quickly. The dining room had some individual tables that would seat 2-4 people, and some long tables that would seat a larger group. At Block 16, you order and pay at the counter. You get your drink when you order, and then your food is brought to your table. There is a regular menu, and then special selections are offered each day. The night we visited, the special was a lobster roll and fries, which we both ordered. The lobster roll was packed with amazing, buttery lobster, and a bit of lettuce. My husband and I were both happy we ordered it. The lemon aioli was delicious! The fries had a nice crunch to them. Next time we come, I want to try the fries with poutine. They sound really good. It was our first visit to Block 16, but will not be our last. Nice spot for a date night. read more

Love a sandwich spot. This place has very unique sandwiches and "funky fries". Line was to the door when I came and seating wasn't that spacious although if you wait around you'll find somewhere to sit. I ordered a bacon and brie sandwich with the duck duck goose fries. To be honest, the fries were better than the sandwich but I still enjoyed both. The sandwich could've used a sweeter or more potent jam and thicker bacon as I felt like I was just tasting chicken and cheese. Anyways, lovely spot and plenty of options that you can never get tired of. read more

I head heard a lot about this place and was directed to it by a co-worker. They have limited days and hours of operation, so they must be good. Because I have learned that most restaurants that limit their hours can afford to because they are doing such good business. They have a menu that includes some very exotic burgers and fries. Be on the look out for their weekly special burger. They have canned adult beverages for sale, if that is your style. You can get refills on their other drinks, but it is not self serve. You have to get it from the cashier at the front counter where you order your food. You will find metered street parking and commercial garages within a reasonable walking distance. I recommend getting there early because they do get packed. They have a decent sized dining area, but seats go quickly during peak hours. They also have a small patio area out of the front sidewalk. The staff there was friendly enough, but my interaction with them was limited. I ordered the special, the Big Quack, with a side of fries. It took about 12 minutes for me to get my food. If you need salt you have to get that from the counter as well. My burger was good, but did not live up to the hype. It was just ok, for me. Nothing special. My take on this place is that it was slightly above average. I may have caught them on a bad day or ordered the wrong thing. Anyway, it is still an option for lunch or dinner in downtown Omaha. read more

Back at B16 for the millionth time and still you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. As always I would reco to go and not going with large groups as the seating is limited. If you find a table without waiting or bribing someone as they get up consider yourself a truly blessed soul. I would absolutely recommend trying out their daily specials. They sell out so check Facebook and go early. There is normally also a grilled cheese special. Most of the time there is some sort of delicious jammy goodness involved. Would reco. Some how I was sleeping on the sweet potato fries. Idk how it took me this long to experience them but DAMN I'm hooked. They modestly hide up in a small corner of the menu while the normal fries dominant in the large loaded fry section. Don't get me wrong, the normal fries are superbly suited to be smothered and loaded with melty goody magic. The sweet potato fries however reign supreme as a side. Do yourself a favor and upgrade on your next meal. read more

The reviews aren't wrong -- this is a must stop in Omaha. Poutine wrap, croque garçon burger and dragon wrap were all outstanding. Service was excellent and there is a small patio out front if you want to sit outside. Get there when it opens at 11 because it gets busy at lunch. read more

Was this the best burger I've ever eaten? Yes, yes I do believe it was. It lives up to all the hype. Alton Brown was not wrong. Here's the description: "CROQUE GARCON BURGER It rhymes with "smoke cars on," and it's a 1/3 pound Jon's Naturals burger with cheese, ham, a sunny-side-up Evetta Farms egg, green onion, mustard, and truffle mayo on a Ciabatta roll." We asked for the beef to be cooked a little less than medium and it was cooked perfectly! They aren't kidding when they said it was messy. I'm glad we sat in the back because I'm sure the sight of me devouring this long anticipated burger was not attractive. Not to fear, my hubby was doing the same. The Duck, Duck Goose fries were good but the griddled cheese curds weren't real hot. The sauce was just a little too sweet for me but they were still good. The Funky Fungi Fries were AMAZING! The fried mushrooms really elevated these fries. We fought over these. The daily special was a chicken sandwich with a ton of ingredients including pepperoni marinara. If I can find the description, I'll update this post. It was good but the burger above was just the best! Someone has a very funny sense of humor with the bathroom signs. Tip: if you want to buy another beverage, you can head right up to the counter and they will fit you in, no waiting in the line again. read more

I had a great sandwich and I loved the menu and the vibe. The service was excellent and their creativity is what brought me here.

Other peoples' reviews have covered a lot for this place. I just want to add my two cents and a moment for the fries. Please see the duck,duck, goose fries and fungi fries pictured. Expect a line on the weekends, you order at the counter and then find a place to sit. We stood around for ~5 minutes and then found a table big enough. So, be patient. It will happen. They let us know while in line that they would stop taking orders in 30 minutes (closing time). I wasn't sure what we were supposed to do with that information. We made it just fine, but seems like they should put a "last man" sign if they know they have people up through closing. Food took ~15 minutes to all come out. The Croque Garçon is one of their famous burgers for a good reason. I love a runny egg in my burger, was even ok with the mustard when I'm not a mustard fan. I figured I should get it without modifications to understand its glory. The fries though were the best part. Duck duck goose fries were absolutely scrumptious and had a little cran sauce for a hunt of sweet that cut all the fat. Mm mm mm. If I lived here, I would try all the fries multiple times. read more

Parking is metered. Clean indoors with bench sitting. Order at desk then they bring food to you. Good selection of beers. Food was a step up from bar food. The poutine had just a little too much gravy making the fries soggy and the curds were large but not melted into fries. read more

Went on a Saturday night. Place was packed. It's an order at the counter place and seat yourself. Very unique items on the menu. Poutine, crab Rangoon fries, duck confit etc. I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was very crisp and moist on the inside. Could have used some additional heat. Was fairly tame for Nashville hot. Small tables and large all in a big room. Interesting concept. Will be back to try the confit. read more

Okay - okay - okay. I wish I could give them 5 million stars! I watch for their lobster specials on their Instagram and just had a strong feeling it would be yesterday. I must be a psychic HA! I could not go yesterday but I called to see if they still had some today - lucky me! They did. The staff is always so warm and comfortable - making you feel like you're at a friends house. They make you feel special! B16 is more than generous with their portions of Maine lobster (you get a lot of claw meat which is even more generous;) it is unlike any I have had in landlocked Nebraska. If you do not believe me - look at the beauty yourself! The rolls are Connecticut style - meaning simply warmed with butter rather than mayonnaise (which I prefer - all lobster flavor just amped up !) (P.S. I added the pepper to the fries cause I'm a pepper freak.) Thanks again Block16 ! - Fan Girl read more

More of a 3.5 but not a 4. The first place that was a true disappointment. The Croque burger that Alton Brown claims is the best just isn't. Its a bigger smash burger, an in between size that just isn't write. My burger wasn't pink, overcooked and lacking seasoning. All I tasted was mustard. The chicken ranch was pretty solid, leading me to believe that Omaha just might have the best fried chicken overall in the country. Duck goose fries had some interesting flavors, but overall too messy. It's fine but not worth the hype. read more

Cool spot. Came here right when they opened and there was a line out the door already. Ordered their famous burger and it was good. I think what could have made it better was if the bun wasn't so dry and that maybe it was buttered and toasted inside. But I get that they need to keep it original. ‍ solid burger but not the best burger I'd ever eaten. Glad I gave this place a try! read more

Im so confused by the "delicious" and "flavorful " reviews. The fried chicken had absolutely zero seasoning. Blandest chicken ive ever attempted to eat. Poutine fried were mid. Edible but not great. The gravy was just salty, no other flavor comes to mind. And for the love....get some air conditioning! read more
