Went to Block 16 for a late lunch with two friends today. It was happy hour and pretty busy, so there was a little bit of a wait, but nothing unexpected. The food, as always, was exceptional. I tried the Sailor Dip for the first time and it was so good I ended up drinking the au jus when I was done. No regrets. It was both of my friends' first time at Block 16, and they were very impressed with my recommendation. Always one of my favorite spots in Omaha and it continues to live up to the hype. read more

Excellent food. Very casual atmosphere. Community tables available so diners can all share. Really good food. Popular for a reason. My only disappointment was thatthey were sold out of a number of menu items. At least they let the diners know. We're vegetarian and had no trouble getting something delicious. We had dragon wraps. Unique flavor profiles read more

Food was incredible. Thick burgers and the most incredible rangoon fries I've ever had. Staff was super friendly and food came out fast considering they were PACKED on a Saturday night! read more

Honestly this was a let down. Been wanting to try it for weeks and it just missed the mark. Waited for 30+ minutes when it wasn't busy for two sandwiches and fries. I got the sailor dip with au ju and it was honestly just flavorless. My girlfriend got the block burger and said it was fine. The best thing we got were the Rangoon fries. Probably won't be back but The service was friendly so that was nice. read more

Truly a gem, which explains why it's so popular amongst the locals. It's located in downtown Omaha, and 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. read more

Stopped by Block 16 for lunch while visiting downtown Omaha. Restaurant had a casual, cozy, and rustic feel and was 60% occupancy late in the lunch timeframe. Staff were welcoming and attentive. I had the Sailor Dip ($16.95) and poutine fries ($7.95). The dip was served super hot and fresh. Very good sandwich and incredibly filling. But I had regret for not trying other more unique menu items. The poutine fries were also good but not served at the same lava hot temperature which would have made them better. Nonetheless, excellent lunch spot while in downtown Omaha! read more

Having just got to town and hungry for lunch I walked a few blocks to Block 16. I came because I read 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. read more

Block 16 is always at the top of my recommendations for people coming into town. Their food is consistently amazing and their specials keep things interesting. Their poutine burrito can be a little heavy, but you'll want to eat all of it. Their loaded fries can be a meal on their own if you're committed to it - their duck duck goose fries might be my favorite so far. If you're going to eat in, know it can get a little busy but it's definitely worth it. If you're more in a pinch for time, ordering ahead is a great option. It's such a fun spot to start your night - have a little drink with some amazing food! read more

Practically anything on the menu will make you come back, if not the daily specials! Great people, great atmosphere, one of Omaha's best!

The Philly sandwich was one of the best I have ever eaten last Friday!! Service was fast and super friendly. The staff was very helpful when ordering since it was the first time my wife had been there. Our family of seven had plenty of room. Perfect place to catch up when I came back into town for a few days. Poutine fries were out of this world for our appetizer read more

This place was busy on a Friday afternoon! We stopped in for lunch and had a great experience. I ordered the dragon wrap, which was very tasty. We were able to find 3 seats together despite being pretty busy in the dining room. Water stations around the room made self service easy and everything was a win in our group! read more

Grabbed lunch at Block 16 on a Tuesday and it was SLAMMED at noon. After a decent wait in line and then about 30 minutes for our food, we got our poutine and Reuben. The food is not photogenic, at all, but the Reuben was INCREDIBLE. I didn't love the poutine, it was just fine, but I'd order the Reuben again in a heartbeat! read more

The food is worth the wait! Service starts at the counter, they have a rotating menu so when you find something you like, get it!!!

Chef Driven, Farm to Fork Lunch ( till 8pm some days ) joint. The hand helds are unique and crafted to order. Daily specials will usually sell out, so if you're wanting it, don't wait! The staff at the front are helpful and take your order and give you a number. Food arrives in about 20 minutes. It's swift food, not fast food. The tables are 1/2 family style and half regular. Beverage options include fountain soda, and canned ( both beer and NA ). They have a lot of fry upgrade options. read more

In a word, fantastic. In many words : Block 16 is a must visit in Omaha for American style food. Their ingredient quality, and mixtures of flavors are unmatched. Their focus on ingredients is clear in the freshness of your meal! No fear, anything you select to eat will have that special touch added to it. As a vegetarian, American style places just mean a lot of beyond burger swap outs. NOT HERE. I got a dragon wrap with sietan and it was FANTASTIC. the texture of the sietan was pull apart soft, the seasoning was a mixture that was reminiscent of gyro flavors in my opinion. The arugula and chickpeas brought brightness, and the dragon sauce kept everything dense and hearty. It's quite large as well, I found it bigger than the burger ! My brother got a burger with a sunny side up egg and ham on it. He is somewhat of a burger connoisseur as it's his favorite thing to explore. After the first bite he couldn't stop saying how impressed he was! The toppings and the quality of the burger patty itself was top tier. We shared some crab Rangoon style fries ... LAWD. They were so loaded that every bite had more than sufficient cream cheese, onions, and fried crispies. The environment threw me off initially. They've selected to put more money into their food in my opinion haha. You go to the counter to open, there is no table service. It results in a quick experience from ordering to eating! read more

Block16 is one of my favorite local spots, and I use any excuse to stop in for lunch. Parking has always been a challenge, and with all the current construction downtown, it is even harder. But do not let that detour you from trying this gem. I usually like to grab one of my go-to orders, like the poutine burrito or the Croque Garcon Burger, plus whatever the daily special is. Sometimes the specials do not hit for me, but that is not their fault. It is a seat yourself space, but I have never had any issues finding a spot, usually by the time you order, someone has left. Despite the space being crowded whenever I come by, they do a great job of keeping the tables cleared and clean. Service has always been top-notch for me. read more

Love coming here for the variety of quality food, you can always try something new but know it's going to taste amazing!

I've never had a bad experience and the food is always top tier. There's always something we can find.

Updated from my last visit. Block 16 is such a uniquely Omaha establishment. Buddy had the chicken sandwich don't remember the name but it was on the everyday menu. Said it was very very good. I had the daily special which was. A jerk style meat on the fresh pita it was exceptional loved the pineapple slaw as well. read more

This place was amazing! So the wife and I decided to try this place on a recommendation from Siri, when I asked for a restaurant near me. We had heard good things about Block 16, but had never tried it, so we thought we would give it a chance, since it came highly recommended. From the outside it didn't look like much, typical downtown store front, but once inside you get a real earthy vibe and the smells start to fill your mind with good thoughts. It was an order at the front kind of place with self seating, and being that they were really and quite busy it was hard to find a seat, but we got lucky, grabbing the last table. My wife ordered the sailor dip and I got the poutine burrito with funky fungi fries, but it was a hard decision because everything on the murmured looked so good. Had to wait a bit, since it was cooked to order, but well worth the wait. Big portions and great flavors. Enough for us to take home and enjoy a second time around. It's was so good, definitely lived up to the hype. A bit expensive but really tasty and fresh. If you find yourself downtown Omaha, check this place out... You will not be disappointed. read more

A fun little spot. I knew everything looked crazy on the menu, but didn't expect to be completely perplexed on what to order. It's tight quarters and will fill up quickly at lunch. Multiple people looking for seats. The food comes quick though so they're churnin and burnin. They were very nice at the register and seemed genuinely happy to be there. The food was very good and you could tell they took good care using high end ingredients. Only complaint I have is I would've enjoy a different bread on the Philly. Was like a toasted potato hot dog bun of sorts. Still good. The duck fries are just wow, highly recommend. Check it out! read more

What a super cool place in downtown Omaha! Come in order some unique food ant the counter and then take a seat. There is plenty of seating I got the French onion, burger, and Omaha fries. The only complaint I'll say, it's the burger was a little dry. But the flavors were on point the fries, were very unique with lots of great toppings. This is a super cool place in downtown Omaha to grab some grub. It's been said by many is the best place in town, I wouldn't doubt it! read more

Always delicious! Amazing happy hour specials, like $2 tostadas, but they change daily.

Block 16 is written about in all the food magazines for a REASON! This place is absolutely show stopping! I can't even put into words how great the food is here. The crab Rangoon fries are so STELLAR!!!!! They are a meal by themselves if you are hungry enough! The burgers are always stacked and packed with great flavor! The people working are so friendly and happy to answer any questions about their rotating menu! The shop itself is sustainable and beautiful inside with the tall windows, compostable utensils and it's super clean! read more

Wow. Great restaurant we found on Yelp while traveling through Nebraska. Order at the counter and have a seat. They will bring the food out to you. We had a burger, chicken and fries. The Shroomy burger was excellent and cooked perfectly between medium rare and medium. The chicken thighs are nicely seasoned and very crispy. Moist inside. We also had the Poutine Fries and they were excellent too. Don't skip the lemonade as it is stellar too. read more

Block 16 is still hitting it out of the park with their recipes and style! They also offer delivery sometimes/on certain things, so we had to try that out (and review the experience!) I don't think you can get the daily specials on the delivery menu, but they have all their standard menu items available. I got some old favorites, the poutine and the croque garçon burger. Both came perfectly packaged and piping hot. Almost nothing was lost in transport. My husband got the Salmon Salad, and it was HUGE. It came with two giant filets of salmon, that my husband said is some of the best he's had in Omaha. It also had an accompaniment of hummus with pita, and even the little side item was amazing! We also tried a newer item, the Omaha fries, which are topped with Doritos, sloppy joe meat, ranch, Dorothy Lynch, and cheese curds. All things we Omahans are known to love - LOL! But to be real, the mixture is fantastic and I definitely recommend these. It sounds weird but just trust me - they are bomb. So if you couldn't tell, I obviously am a B16 lover, but I'm just here to tell you that the delivery option is almost just as good as eating in the restaurant, in person! read more

I love block 16! When I heard they were doing a wing fest, I got my ticket right away. I love that they wanted to try something new and make it so fun for their customers. I got 6 different types of wings - Peruvian pepper, honey gochujang, Oaxacan mole, butter chicken, pomegranate molasses, and blueberry scorpion - along with some fries. They were all super tasty and I loved having the variety. Block 16 is always good and a cool spot to eat downtown but I will be on the lookout for their next event for sure! read more

This landed! We had just spent too hot days at the zoo, and exhausted a lot of spots in Old Market. We needed something new and not too busy on a weekend, and we were just early enough to make this one work out beautifully. The staff was very friendly here and helped us set up the kids with chicken tenders, which we hadn't seen on the menu. There were other kids there too so I'd say they're kid friendly on the whole. We sat outside as the inside was busy, but it was nice despite a few aggressive panhandlers coming by for a bit during dinner. The food was great. I had this gigantic spicy chicken sandwich and it was tasty -- not spicy like I prefer, but damn good. The fries were also incredible, putting the meal over the top. Kids liked it, I liked the vibe, and the food was really enjoyable. What more could you want? read more

Tried Block 16 for the first time - I got the Block Burger and here's all you need to know - soft bun, thick juicy patty cooked well, correct amount of condiments on the patty, shredded lettuce that didn't feel wimpy, and it came out nice and warm. Pair it with their dragon fries, and you've got a winner combo. I'd eat this burger weekly if I could! There was a ton of seating as well, and they had kind staff. Vibes were 10/10. I'll be back for sure! read more

Wow! Came to this place because of its proximity to our hotel. Had no idea what a gem we stumbled upon. We came between meals so the lines hadn't started yet. Greeted by friendly folks we order some snacks and beer. The dining area is simple and inviting - not too loud, but a definite fun vibe. The food came out hot and delicious.
