Onion rings
Jenny S.

Went for dinner with friends and had a bit of a wait, but that is to be expected at such a small, quaint spot that is always packed and for good reason. I had a delicious burger and my husband went for a double with onion rings. I chose sweet potato fries with extra toppings and everything was perfection. Service was fast and friendly, our drinks stayed topped off, and we left with full bellies and happy spirits.

A small joint but don't be fooled. This place is packed with Big flavor! Side note they have a crazy big burger challenge for those who are willing to try it! New to Nebraska and we heard this was the IT place for a burger. Service was fantastic and super helpful in giving the daily special which obviously changes daily unlike some places. Also they opened at 11 and we arrived at 1115 and the parking lot was almost full so it's definitely a hopping spot. Everything is a la carte but a good bit is given for your side items. I had the burger of the day the Donut burger and added lettuce, tomato, and onion. My husband had the mushroom Swiss. We did a side of fries and waffle sweet potato fries Everything was delicious! Currently decorated for Christmas and it really had my little one so happy. Everyone was pleasant and kind.

Stella's has earned many awards over the years and those are proudly noted on a card kept with the menus on each table. It had been on my list of places to try for some time -- and now I was in the area at lunchtime... With expectations high, I was ready for a great meal. Sadly, my experience fell short of the mark. I like the fact that their hamburger meat is never frozen and is hand-smashed on the grill. I like that they serve them "with everything" and clearly state that means lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and mayo. So why then, are there additional charges for a long list of toppings? You have to pay extra to 'have it your way'. With hindsight, I suppose I should have ordered one of the specialty burgers. But I wanted to taste their basic burger on its own merits (I did splurge for the grilled onions; but they were scantly there). It was a good, solid burger and I enjoyed it. Nevertheless, it fell short of any "best burger" claims. Since I was born in Idaho, I was excited to see that the fries were touted as being from hand-cut, fresh Idaho potatoes. That is the gold standard for fries. Sadly, the fries were disappointing -- mostly soggy, some were somewhat blackened. Overpriced too. 3 stars at most for those fries. On the other hand, service was great while the vibe and atmosphere were super. Those factors salvaged my overall rating of 4 stars.

Vegetarian here! Stellas is a great spot for vegetarians with a group of hungry carnivores. You can swap the patty on any of their burgers. They have an Impossible as well a Veggie patty depending what you're going for. I really like the veggie patty - it sticks together (sooo important) and tastes good without overwhelming the full burger set up. Is it probably frozen? Yes. Is it still delicious? Absolutely!!! Burgers do not come with sides so you'll order those separately. We usually get 1 side per 2 people unless we're over the top hungry. We stopped by at 4PM on a Saturday and were able to sit down right away. If you're with a larger group or during dinner time expect to wait outside or in your car until a table is ready. The place is pretty small and that helps keep it enjoyable for everyone. All the waitstaff were fantastic and very quick to turn over tables! Parking lot is available but is proportional to their seating. Rule of thumb if you can't find a spot the wait is probably longer than you want to endure.

The burgers and service here is so good. We had to wait about 15 minutes to get our table which was more than reasonable for a Friday at 5:45. The staff was quick to get our order and quick to bring it fresh to our table. Definitely recommend.

We have been trying to come here for awhile now. It is usually pretty busy, rightfully so, the food is awesome! Burgers, fries and onion rings are all very flavorful and not greasy.

Stella's is a staple in Bellevue and has been for a while with good reason! The burgers are cooked to juicy perfection as the main attraction, meaning you can leave satisfied with just a plain cheeseburger or hamburger. Then, they kick it up a notch with different pairings that work to completely elevate the burgers. I don't think you can go wrong with ordering anything. The final stamp of amazing is the service. We went on Monday night, which was still busy, but the receptionist was great. We ordered and got our food within 20-30 minutes. Stella's remains the number one burger joint in the area for good reason.

This is their typical burger.  Sorry, the fries were so good, I ate over half of them before taking the picture.

I have been going to Stella's since I was able to eat solid food, so around 68 years or so. My dad was an original Stella's patron. The menu has developed over the years. Originally it was burgers and fries. If you want to experience a hamburger that not a frozen patty and fresh cut French fries this is the place to go. Their patties are 6 oz with a variety of toppings to choose from. There is also a kids menu. They have a full service bar, just don't expect frozen drinks. The service is good, the wait staff is friendly and check your table often throughout the meal. Typical low-key bar atmosphere, but they do not stay open as late as legally allowed.

Pastrami Burger*

The only flavor this burger had was battery acid. Tried this burger joint 3 times and each time i have been disappointed. There patties don't even have SALT and PEPPER. I will never return to this overhyped burger joint. I'd rather have a double cheese burger from McDonalds. And the service was absolute trash. Dirty looks and 1 question every 30 minutes is not worth paying OVER $30 dollars for.

Food is always great here, quick service once you get seated and affordable for eating out. I always get the Stella's staple burger and it's my favorite. This neighborhood burger joint always feels like a warm hug and hits the spot. Would recommend for a classic burger experience! PS the sweet potato fries are amazing!

This place has been around forever and is pure nostalgia. A great place for a grilled burger and homemade fries. It's like grandma made it.

Did Stella's in Bellevue change their french fry preparation? I thought they used fresh cut potatoes?

We still use fresh cut fries. Although we no longer cut them on site, we have them delivered every morning from a local produce supplier. There have only been two days that we had to revert to frozen fries because our shipment of fresh cut…

Most restaurants treat the burger bearing their name like the default setting: lettuce, tomato,…read moreonion, and just enough personality to satisfy the legal definition of lunch. The Sickies Burger apparently never received that memo. This is a signature burger that signs its name in calligraphy. This was my first visit, and Daylen was an outstanding guide through a menu containing enough choices to trigger a minor decision-making crisis. He was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested in figuring out what would best satisfy my craving. His recommendation was the Sickies Burger with waffle fries, and the man knew exactly what he was doing. The waffle fries were quite good, but they never had a fair chance of becoming the main attraction. They had been seated next to a burger that walked in, took control of the table, and began giving interviews. The Sickies Burger has all the right ingredients, but the pièce de résistance is its hot sauce. It is not particularly spicy; it is simply loaded with flavor. There also isn't much of it, so it doesn't appear in every bite. Ordinarily, inconsistent sauce distribution might be a flaw. Here, it turns lunch into a culinary scavenger hunt. Every few bites, the hot sauce suddenly returns and reminds you why you ordered the restaurant's autograph burger. The dining room also deserves credit. There was plenty of seating, the tables weren't packed together like economy passengers, and the restaurant remained comfortably quiet despite having a good crowd. Even the background music was kept at a reasonable volume, allowing people to enjoy dinner without communicating through hand signals. The lighting could be brighter, though. By evening, "mood lighting" might be the most generous technical description. The only real negative was an unpleasant background odor when I entered--something reminiscent of dirty dishwater. I noticed it throughout the meal and was never quite able to tune it out. It wasn't powerful but it didn't add to the experience, either. All in all, Daylen provided excellent service, the atmosphere was refreshingly comfortable, and that burger was amazing. I came in as a first-time customer trying to narrow down the menu. I left knowing exactly what I would order again: the burger confident enough to put the restaurant's name on it and talented enough to deserve the signature.

Service here was amazing, our waitress was the best! I wish I could remember her name but this is a…read morelate review so unfortunately I forgot her name!
