Did I just eat in San Francisco or some swanky new joint in Brooklyn? No this is straight out of Omaha. I never would have thought I'd find a place like this in Nebraska. Cool restaurant. The place is obviously a huge hit. It was lined up like mad but worth the wait and every penny of the $18 bucks I spent for lunch. The menu is awesome. Very unique. If you find your self in Omaha and are looking for good food and a cool atmosphere, this is it read more

Block 16 - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I was not particularly impressed with anything we ate here. I had a burrito which tasted mostly of gravy, the fries were also same. My husband had the burger with egg on top and was unimpressed. It does seem different by food description but food was just ok in flavor. No depth or complexity of flavors. read more

Burger was great but fries were bland and soggy. I have heard great things so I would be willing to try again another night and order something different. read more

Block 16 - Croque Garcon Burger Combo - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Finally had a chance to stop in here for lunch. On a tip I got here just before 11 when they open cause they get very busy. Sure enough a couple minutes till 11 there was already a line. We got in, ordered at the counter and sat and waited to be called when the order was ready. I tried the block burger and was very happy with my choice. The sauce on there really hit the spot and the meat was cooked perfectly. I ordered the dragon fries and they were quite tasty though they were a little much. The melted burned up cheese thing on top was hard to eat. I had to with some difficulty saw thru it with my plastic knife. The sauce was good but they could have easily used half the sauce, I was a little sauced out by the end. Overall they do good quality stuff here and I'll be back. Bonus; in communicating with them on Facebook I learned they have a lot of gluten free options as well, good for those that need it. read more

Ordered the Dragon wrap with Salmon and it was delicious. Probably great as a pick up and eat but I picked it apart and ate the salmon first. The sauce, was amazing and the salmon was complimented greatly by it! I would reorder the same meal over and again. read more

Met a good friend at this old market hot. Name kinda gives it away (16th and Harney) Line was weaved through the place on a Thursday afternoon for lunch but it moved quickly and the energy coming from the many patrons, workers, and music passed the time quite well. Menu was well written in chalk and descriptions plentiful. I did not partake but a smal menu of local craft beers stood against the wall. I chose the Putin burrito and some dragon fries. My co eater got a burger and duck fries. First all the food was amazing. Very filling and full of flavor. To my taste the fries toppings a little to rich but hey that's how duck is! And I'm not going to complain about leaving with a full belly and happy taste buds. May be just share the fries with a friend instead of getting your own. I truly considered 5 stars but nothing was to over the top. But they are doing it right down at block 16 and I'd recommend it and go back for sure. read more

Block 16 - Amazing food. My tip: share the fries! - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

One of the Top 3 in Omaha! My #1. In touch owners! Food is fantastic! Owners are nice and appreciative! What a concept?!? Are you listening all you other restaurants in Omaha?!? This place rocks! read more

L-O-V-E this place!! Anytime I find myself in downton Omaha, Block 16 is a must!! Love to try their newest creations!!

My wife and I were back in town for a wedding and were excited to try Block 16 based on the stellar reviews. My wife was equally excited as one of the chefs from a cooking show really liked the place as well. When we arrived, the line was just out the door - I'd say about a dozen or so people in front of me. I stayed in line while my wife grabbed a table. It took 30 minutes to get to the counter to place an order. This seemed to be very slow for the number of people in front of me. However, based on the crowds and the reviews, I took it as a really good sign for what was to come. The menu offers some tantalizing choices and is a good size to ensure quality. They also have a nice selection of local beers and nice, yet affordable, wine. My wife and I both decided to go with the Croque Garcon - a 1/3 lb. burger with cheese, ham, farm egg and truffle mayo on a ciabatta bun. It took another 20 minutes for the burgers to arrive. The place was bustling and it was fun to people watch during the wait. At last the burgers arrived. They looked great! That was the peak of the meal. I have to say, I do not understand all the hype. The burger was just OK. It was perfectly cooked and it tasted pretty good, but it didn't wow me like all the reviews stated. The cashier and wait staff are friendly, but understandably a bit rushed given the crowd. While it is definitely an experience, I'm not sure this is even worth another try when we're back in town. A 50+ minute wait for a burger that is just OK just isn't worth it. read more

Block 16 has been a favorite of ours for about a year. Menu favorites are: the poutine burrito, sloppy Nick, crab Rangoon fries & the chicken thighs (seriously get a couple!). They are usually busy (read: packed), but service is fast & the food is always piping hot. We just picked up take out & they are offering their full menu plus specials during this COVID/quarantine period, including family style meals for an affordable price. Check FB for those details! The only "downside" is that their hours are a bit nontraditional, but between FB & their website (both of which are always updated) it is easy to plan for. read more

Excellent food and service. Unique menu. Upscale atmosphere but not intimidating. Great for date night or special occasions.

Had their famous burger with the fried egg and it was delicious. Went during lunch hour and had to wait in line to order. But food came out fast and hot. Workers were nice and helpful! Fully of young professionals and craft beer crowd. Would definitely come back! read more

Block 16 nails it again! Brought home three trays of lobster Mac and the family loved it! Ordering, checkout, and preparation were as simple as advertised. Thank you Block 16 for helping with our holiday menu!! read more

The Block 16 burger is by far the best! Love this place so much. I no longer live in Omaha but when we drive through this is the only place that I crave every single time. read more

Food is ALWAYS amazing, made from scratch w local/regional ingredients - consistently on point & you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose However the 1 star loss is for the lack of space and expectation to wait in line (which is not uncommon to be out the door) which also goes directly thru the seating area. Obviously being consistently busy is a testament to how good the food is but the back room is often closed and should really always be open, at least over lunch as I've yet to stop in for dinner. Gangsta fries & anything poutine on the menu should not disappoint. Follow them on Facebook to see their special each day. read more

This place is pretty decent! We waited about 20 minutes for our order as the place was packed, but it is worth the wait. I ordered the chicken dragon wrap. It is a midwest version of a gyro, with grilled chicken. I don't know what so they used to flavour the chicken or the sauce, but it was good, and it hit the spot. I think it helped that the chicken was also very tender. It came with fries and side of dragon sauce (not of the filthy minded variety!) I saw some pretty meaty sandwiches that I will have to try next time! They didn't have Root Beer or Sprite, so I settled with a coke. I have to admit, I don't like paper straws, they add a weird taste to the drink and they're not very durable. Other than that, great place, glad I came! read more

Highly recommend! We got the Belgian Smash Burger with sweet potato fries and the 3 HAPPINESS BURGER with Crab Rangoon and spicy fries. Melt in your mouth good! Give it a try. Two burgers, fries and drink were just under $39 read more

Stop what you're doing and run, do not walk to B16!!!The awards and accolades they've won were definitely earned! Curious and hungry, I ordered several items from the menu and every single item was Amazing!!! If forced to choose a favorite from the menu I'd have to say the Duck Duck Goose Fries are everything was sooo good! read more

Block 16 - Duck Duck Goose Fries - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

The only reason for the 4/5 is the wait in line and the lack of seating for party of 5, everything else was great. Would go back for take out and eat at park a few blocks away. read more

Ok I really wish there were 1/2 stars. So the food was DELICIOUS! They had a line out the door, so we knew it would be good. They lost our ticket, so 45 min later we had our food. They did refund us and apologize, which was wonderful. Then we found a hair Things happen. We get that. I might try them again. It was really good for what we did eat. read more

The line was really long Saturday around noon when we arrived, but we got to the front surprisingly quickly. The 1/3 lb burgers are so juicy, and the fries of course were amazing. I usually can split one special fry order with a friend, two would be too much. Order anything with cheese and you won't be disappointed read more

Block 16 - Duck duck goose fries!! Holy deliciousness - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This is easily one of the best restaurants in Omaha. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I'm biased toward the classic Block 16 burger and poutine fries. I could get that every time and it is amazing. They also have great options if you are vegan or vegetarian. If you are from the area and haven't tried this place, or are just visiting, it is must stop that you should add to your list! read more

Block 16 - Burger and poutine - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I've been there for about a couple of weeks ago, I've ordered the fried chicken thighs and the duck duck goose fries. The chicken is so delicious as well as the duck goose fries which taste new to me. It's an incredible meal experience. I'm getting hungry right now just by thinking about those foods. I'll definitely visit there again together with my officemates. read more

Yes, yes and yes! They have great service, amazing farm fresh food and an awesome selection of beers. Just look at my schnitzel!! read more

Block 16 - Special of the Day... Pan-Fried Schnitzel! - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This place is fricken awesome. The food is super tasty and uses a lot of local ingredients( Plum Creek Farms poultry for instance). The menu has always been delicious and the service is friendly. Order at the menu, grab a beer, go sit down, and wait for your delicious meal to be prepared. Decor is fun, space is tightly packed so you may make a friend sitting next to someone. Simple, fast, and awesome. There usually is a big wait line so get there early if you can. read more

Block 16 - This super sexy shaved pork sandi and Golden Frau Honey Wheat by Thunderhead Brewery. - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I was excited about this place, due to the reviews. I would say the bacon cheeseburger was very good. It was tasty and it was fresh tasting. The fries were good, like McDonald's good. I would have thought they would have had fresh cut fries. I ordered plain, without all of the spicy sauces. The bun couldn't hold up to the burger. A pretzel bun would have been great. The burger oils have been a little larger. Again, very good burger on par with a Five Guys, which also has very good burgers. read more

Food: is tasty but lotsa da grease and buttah. Lick yo fingas and body smells like da buttah afterwards. But it's tasty. Pass on the poutine fries next time (too much gravy) and get regular seasoned fries. Block deluxe is tasty but gonna ask for a little less coleslaw. Sloppy nicks is tasty too but I took a slice of bread off and ate it open faced (meat to bread ratio was no bueno lol). The fried chicken, Nashville hot style, is a must have - dat crispy flavorful skin is just... ugh na na na. Ambience: is a bit loud and crowded (we went at dinner time Friday night doe). Had to wait in line awhile but food came out pretty quickly. Service: is straightforward AF. Order yo food, sit yo booty down, dey is gonna call yo name when da foods be ready, get yo food, eat yo food, and leave because dey gon' clean up after you. Lots of unique sandwich, burgers, fries, etc. I wanted to try them all so I'll be back - but it is on the heavy and slightly bougie side. Plus I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but would def go if in the downtown area. read more

A legit burger, the staff is friendly and the fries are good. Be prepared to wait in line. I recommend for a burger and fries. Supposedly their fried chicken is legit too and saw someone with a sloppy Joe that they were wolfing down like it was their last supper read more

Absolutely loved this food joint. Atmosphere perfect, according to my 14yo anyway. The music playing was kinda loud for my 12yo and my husbands tastes. The heat and busy atmosphere didn't suit them. Food was excellent!!! We had block nine burger and gangsta fries. Very tasty and juicy. The chipotle sauce in fries was lively. One absolutely wonderful aspect of our visit was the fact that they use recycled plastic, paper straws, and seem to be very environmentally conscious. We will definitely revisit if we return here. read more

Be prepared to wait. At this downtown spot, they seem to make everything to order and they are very popular. So get ready to wait in the line and then again after you sit down for your food to come out. The food is the new-American style that everyone seems to love these days, but with a junk-food flair. We enjoyed all of the dishes we tried. read more

Block 16 - Duck duck goose fries, croque garcon burger and crab Rangoon dog - American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Menu sounded really good. Visiting from Texas and wanted to try poutine. We did. And I don't know if it was good poutine but we didn't like. I had the Messy Nick sandwich. It was indeed messy. But the bread was burnt. I just ate the meat out and it was just ok. AND we had to wait a very long time for our food. My husband had a grilled cheese which was burnt as well. And it was not cheap. read more

I stopped by because the Omaha visitor guide said Alton Brown declared Block 16 to have the best burger in America, the Croque Garçon... and I have to say it was an amazing burger, the meat, to bun, to sauce, to topping ration could not have been better or more balanced. Be prepared to stand in line when you come though, showed up 5 minutes before they opened on a Saturday and a line had already formed. The only way I could see working around that would be to order take out and eating down at the park... but honestly the burgers are so good I don't know if it would survive the car ride. read more

I don't live in the area, but I would go out of my way to come again. We were traveling by and looked on YELP and found this place. The reviews and ratings made it must stop. So glad we did! Atmosphere- casual, comfortable, & unpretentious. Pricing- reasonable. $$ Food- Amazing. We decided to try a couple things. The Duck Duck Goose Fries, The Chicken Thighs & the Bacon & Brie sandwich. The Fries were very interesting. If you are a fan of the day after thanksgiving with the turkey and the cranberry over potato combo- this is right up your alley. I'm not a huge fan of that and I still found it tasty. If I travel back that way I think I would try one of the many other combinations. Again, it was good, I just would like to see what else they are doing with the mundane fry. The Chicken Thighs- Thick thighs with satisfied sighs! It sounds simple, just some cooked chicken, but it was fabulous. Cooked to perfection. Juicy, and full of flavor. Trust me, it is good. Saving the best for last... I rarely crave a sandwich. Ice-cream, donuts, coffee at 5am... but not a sandwich. This, might be the exception. The bacon mixed with the Brie was nice, then the dollop of apple butter hits you are instantly wanting more. It is the salty, sweet, creamy, spice combination that is just right. Unlike the ex- it hits all the happy buttons at once and leaves you satisfied. read more

If you haven't, you should! One of the most creative heavyweight sandwich shops I've ever been. Healthy size portions, large and tasty sides, with a small but go-big-or-go-home crafty beer selection. Not sure why this one hasn't created a second location yet. My best tip would be to go early. The line ended up out the door by the time we left around noon after eating. The place is small so planning to grab and go might be a good idea, too! Ask for a side of their hot sauce, you won't regret it after the burn wears off. I loved this place and can't wait to go back! read more
