    The Maverick
    Kevin W.

    There is something about this guy that is so endearing. He's really into hot dogs and it shows . They are unique, delicious, they snap, they're just wonderful. Now he has a permanent place, not just traveling hot dog carts. AND IT ROCKS! There is much more on the menu at the Inner Rail at Aksarben. We had the Maverick. It's a burnt end sausage with slaw, spicy mustard, and BBQ sauce. We asked for the BBQ sauce on the side and added (for free) jalapeños. Oh.. my.. God. Absolutely amazing. The sausage is his own recipe. It may be the best I have ever had. It was so delish. Unlike the hot dog, it does not snap which is a good thing. The BBQ sauce, in my mind, is not necessary for this sandwich. We barely touched it. The Maverick is one of those menu items that will have me ordering nothing else for now on. I hate when that happens. But I love it too!

    BOOM! Omaha's original dog is in the house! It's a hot dog but so much more! Created with passion and love from an Omaha native. Available at Aksarben's Inner Rail Food Hall which is a great spot to have lunch or dinner with friends. I've had Willie Dogs previously and this dog is as solid as they come. Great beefy /smokey flavor and the hot dog has a great snap! The owner even sat down and chatted with us for a while! Great times- great food!

    Where do I even begin? My sister and I were able to track down this little hot dog food truck that we had heard so much about right outside of Kros Strain Brewing's new downtown location. The owner is so incredibly kind and was great about answering all our questions. We got the Willie Way (with brown sugar onions and Willie Good Sauce) and the Traditional (sauerkraut and whole grain mustard) with normal Willie Dog wieners. Both blew our minds away, but the Willie Way was definitely our favorite. The Willie Good Sauce that he makes is so delicious and adds so much to the hot dog. There was also the option to add banana peppers to the hot dogs, which was a really cool and unique touch! We also split a double chocolate chip brownie with whip cream on top - the perfect dessert to wrap up our meal! The great thing is that Kros Strain lets you bring food inside, so we got to enjoy some nice beers with our hot dogs. I'm already planning on my next return to try out the Smoked Polish wiener rather than the Willie Dog! In talking to the owner, it sounds like he's planning on having his stand at a lot of cool upcoming events, including Omaha Beer Week. It's great to hear about how he works with and supports a lot of local businesses. I highly recommend everyone find out where Willie Dogs will be next and try out their delicious food!

    Willie Dogs is willie good! My sister and I tracked down their cart at Millwork Commons in NoDo during CWS. We had a great time chatting with the owner, Ryan, who is enthusiastic about what he does. He not only had a lot to say about his work, but also the NoDo neighborhood as well as upcoming Omaha events this summer! Regarding their food, my sister and I ordered the Willie Way and the Traditional. The Traditional with sauerkraut and mustard was so good. However, the highlights were the brown sugar onions and Willie Good sauce on the Willie Way! Fun fact - they make their own hot dogs and the buns are locally made! I'm intrigued by the baked beans which have peaches in them, but they were out the day I went so I'll have to track them down again! We treated ourselves to the dessert of the day - a fudge brownie topper with whipped cream which was phenomenal. Tips: -off the menu - ask if he has any "secret ingredients" or desserts. These are rotating extras and depend on the season and what he wants to experiment with at the time. When we were there, he added banana pepper and garlic. -location - to find Willie Dogs, check their social media! -if you are at NoDo Kros Strain, they allow customers to bring your meal inside the bar or onto the patio For my info - see my sister's extensive review!

    Customer service was fast and kind and the woman that took our order was very helpful in helping us…read morejust great people can't wait to come eat an s.o.b combo again!!!

    Oh. My. Gosh! This is by FAR the most classic, good-ole boy, make-you-wanna-order-another burger…read moreI've had in years! It came out quick and took me straight back to when I was a boy eating a burger with my momma at the local "Georgia's Drive-In" that we had back home when I was a kid. The woman, who I assume was the manager, that took my order was so sweet! When I came in she was sweeping, and I accidentally sat right in her way after I ordered! Instead of being rude about it like most would nowadays, we had a nice laugh and conversation. I always appreciate someone giving a smile instead of a scowl in response to an honest mistake! It goes a million miles further and, believe it or not, makes the food taste better! The atmosphere isn't going to be your Michelin style, clean cut and polished restaurant, and THANK GOODNESS! Being in Omaha for business seems to take the human out of you sometimes, but this place took me right back to the diners of my childhood. I'm not typically one to order a second go around, but boy it was tempting... I may have to go back tonight to try it again... just to make sure I really liked it! Overall 10/10. Try this place, it was enough to make me call home! (No joke!)

    Truly a gem, which explains why it's so popular amongst the locals. It's located in downtown Omaha,…read moreand attracted lots of visitors on the weekend that my partner and I were in town. Most of the highlight was the various types of burgers and fries they had, so my partner and I got two kinds, and we both enjoyed our respective meals. I had the block burger, which was as good as I imagined it to be, with juicy patty cooked to medium and every ingredient needed to make a good burger. The poutine had a lot of beef gravy and cheese curds, which made the dish a comprehensive experience to consume, rather than just fries. The duck duck goose fries were amazing! The duck confit, cheese curds, mayo, gravy, and gooseberry gastrique combination worked super well on top of the fries, because they altogether basically made it a gourmet dish that I had to eat with a fork. Finally, the sloppy nick was seasoned very well, even if we got the vegan version, which used impossible meat instead of ground beef. It was still really great! Hope everyone who visits Omaha gets to try this spot! Their wall has quite a few articles that recognized them as a locally renowned burger joint, and I could see why. Since they can be busy, I would recommend people getting there earlier to secure a good table spot, if dining in.

    Having just got to town and hungry for lunch I walked a few blocks to Block 16. I came because I…read moreread amazing reviews about them and saw they won numerous awards. I also checked out their menu and noticed it was definitely a unique, interesting menu. Upon walking in, there was a line backed up to the door and I waited in it about 15 mins and it didn't move one person, but I used this time to check out the menu and decide what I wanted. After noticing the line not moving and the cashier in heavy discussion with the family that was there placing their order, I felt it might be best to use their online ordering for carryout pickup instead. While doing this, the line moved up once and I suppose that next party had questions too and of course, plenty of time was spent answering those questions. This might seem like good service, but when the line is that long, either have more people there taking orders or use a kiosk for those of us who don't need to ask questions, or remind guests that there are many others in line (probably after the first 5 mins of discussing the menu) and the line needs to move up. After I placed my order, it told me it was accepted and gave me a time range of when to expect my order. I sat down and waited until the end of that range, which was only a few mins, and then went back up to the pick up area to ask about my order. The lady working was very friendly when I explained what I did. She gave me a number and told me she'd bring my order out, she also gave me the drink I pre-ordered. A few mins later, she brought my food out. I looked around to notice that people who were waiting for food prior to me still hadn't gotten their food. I'm not sure if it's always this slow in there or if it was busy because there's a conference in town. Opening the clamshell that my food was in - I noticed a beautiful sandwich and fries. The fries were piping hot and crispy and tasted great. The sandwich looked really nice, but when I went to pick it up, I noticed the entire bottom was soaked in grease and their hot sauce that was on the chicken. So, I fork & knifed this meal. The flavors of all the parts of the sandwich together were nice, just wish I could have picked it up without being a mess. If I ever returned, I'd get something different.
