My husband and I visited Crispy Burger when we were in Aksarben for the Omaha Film Festival. It was…read morea pleasant surprise! I noticed a lot of newer eateries and businesses in Aksarben since the last time I was there, so hopefully some of them stick around a while. Anyhoo, on to Crispy Burger! First off, the interior is bright and colorful, with a lot of orange, red, and then an accent wall of black and white geometric shapes. It's a super welcoming vibe! One thing that's kind of weird is that the building (and Yelp and Google) says Crispy Chicken, but all the wrappers and signs say "Crispy Burger" which was confusing. The smells inside when you walk in make your mouth water, so get ready to over order if it's your first time here (we definitely did!) They have a LOT of fried things, like fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken, etc. So this definitely is not an every day place if you are looking for health food. We ordered the cheese sticks to start and they were enormous. Definitely shareable between a few people, as each cheese stick is like an appetizer in itself! I ordered the nuggets and fries, and they were really well breaded and pretty large. You can choose from about 1500 sauces for dipping (ok, maybe more like ten, but that's still a lot!) The fries were great too, that come as a side in your box. My husband had the bone in chicken wings combo, and he was very pleased with his choice. Gigantic wings, with fries, a biscuit, and mashed potatoes and gravy on the side. Now is Crispy Burger fine dining or somewhere you'd go on a date night? Definitely not. But it's nice, tasty food, for a pretty inexpensive price. So I would definitely recommend trying it out next time you're in the Aksarben area!

My boyfriend and I were looking for something a little different but also a solid choice and this…read moreticked all the boxes we needed. We ordered a chicken nugget meal with teriyaki skewers and a biscuit with a side of fries. This meal had a ton of food and left us feeling as full as a tick. I'd have to say the fan favorite of the night was the skewers. The flavor was so tasty and light. I believe it was chicken thighs, there were some fatty pieces but I honestly didn't mind. The nuggets reminded me of a similar fast food location with the Golden Arches logo. I honestly didn't mind because these had more flavor and seasonings within; same consistency of chicken within though. I can see myself coming back here to try some of their boba and rolled ice cream!

It was such a…read moredelicious find after landing around midnight last night where very few food options remain open downtown...and even more so after you factor in the a late night at the standard Dubliner to sing along with the acoustic show and a questionable mix of drink specials from my parade of old haunts. The spicy beef/lamb gyro + feta was a little spendy at $12/ea, but worth every penny considering the aforementioned scenario. I happen to like the fresh tomatoes and lettuce mixed in so I can pretend it's "healthy". I'm definitely looking forward to trying the burgers next!

I would give zero stars if I could. Last night I asked for gyro meat and onions--without the pita…read morebread or with it on the side--and was flat-out denied service. The guy behind the counter told me he "couldn't serve it without the pita" because he "didn't have any boxes." Funny, because I literally saw white styrofoam to-go boxes sitting on a shelf inside the truck. Not to mention, my friend got his hotdog served in a cardboard boat--so clearly there were options available. Either he didn't feel like doing his job, or he just didn't want to serve me. Either way, it was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. I'll be letting everyone I know to skip this place.

It's hard to say what the must-tries are here because it is all so good. You might start with the chicken sandwich, or a salad with chicken tenders. Or if it is brunch the ricotta pancakes are killer. Another option is to stroll through the restaurant and just kinda look at what people are eating and see what strikes you. One thing we order each time: the blue corn hushpuppies :) Check their socials for specials and just in case they have modified hours due to selling out or a private event.

We decided to try again on Thursday this week and found that it was actually open and not super packed with customers, which had not been the case our previous attempts. Went inside to order and the staff was super friendly, as they handed us the menus. The ambiance was a lot like a diner, with bench seating tables and high chairs, did not see any booths, but it's was clean, bright and open. My wife ordered the pancakes and chicken, I had the debo sandwich with potato salad and the slaw. From the comments I was hearing from my wife, the pancakes were amazing, with fruit inside them and a light syrup, the chicken was crisp and juicy, much to her liking. My sandwich was outstanding, it was huge and flavorful, the chicken was also very crunchy and the homemade pickles complemented it well. The sandwich also had a sweetness from the honey vinegar cayanne sauce with just a bit of heat too. The potato salad was delightful, now sweet but really good flavor and had hard boiled eggs in it, you don't get that very often any more, and the slaw was a bit sweet and tart with the pickled onions and pickled jalapeños, and some added crunch from sunflower seeds. It was a bit pricy, but the food was fantastic... Worth the price and worth the wait. Monster portions, we took the left overs home and get to enjoy it again tonight.

While it's hot and a little messy, it's the kind of burger that leaves you wanting bite afer bite until it's gone. The fries are also up there with some of my favorites. Crispy, potatoey, and good portions. The only downside is the cost. It's pretty pricey for a burger and fries around $20-22 depending. I would consider paying that again if the craving hit just right, but a good first impression!

Kinda felt bad for the two other bar food places to eat, and the bar as we were two of 6 folks in what could've been an EXTREMELY packed place. Plenty of seating, self serve watering hole...

There was already a wait by the time I got here at 5:30pm, and the line steadily grew with the dinner rush. The interior can't quite decide what it wants to be, with some decorations. At least there's a good amount of seating, including a large communal table inside that has plenty of seats. Staff were friendly. I got a Block Burger. Very standard looking burger with all the components to a typical burger, but the meat was great! Tasty, cooked medium, and had both a slight crisp with juicy interior. Would recommend for a casual bite, though there is a wait.

Definitely a strong Creighton University theme for decor here. There's a family-restaurant vibe here, staff know what do and provided good service. Be mindful of the hours as this restaurant is a downtown lunch place and is open during the window when people downtown are eating lunch. I wouldn't make a special trip to come downtown to eat here; but if you're downtown it's convenient and a better value than a lot of other places in the immediate area. We all find ourselves coming to the courthouse from time to time, I think. Well, I do anyway.
